Stamp Camp Part 2

This is another card I made from Stamp Camp.  I cant believe we are moving in less than two weeks. All my treasures will be able to come out of their boxes!!!  And then Let the Stamping Begin!!!

Happy Monday!!!!

Warm Wishes

I am still in the process of moving.  Stamp room is packed and I am having major withdrawals!  Thank goodness a friend of mine was holding a Stamp Camp!  I had saved my little bag with scissors and adhesive and off  I went to create!  We made this cute snowman gift card holder.  It was made with a folded piece of card stock and then using a die cut.  Once opened, you can see where the gift card is placed.

My goal once moved....is to finish up my Christmas cards.  I cant imagine not sending out handmade cards for Christmas!

Joy!

What a busy couple of weeks!  We have put our home on the market and had 3 offers the first day.  We found a place and will now be in the process of packing and moving.  Whew!  I haven't had a lot of time to craft, but hope to do so once I get packed and wait for moving day.

I found the template for this card from Paper Crafts Magazine.  It was fun and easy to make and of course I got to use my Cricut for the holly and tab on the insert.  I thought this would be a great Christmas card to put a picture on!

October Stamp of the Month

October Stamp of the Month

I just love our new Stamp of the Month and it goes so well with our Cricut Cartridge!  These stockings are adorable!  I cut out the stockings for this card at 3.25 inches and of course you can cut them out by hand too.  This card is my version of the card on page 141 in the Close to My Heart Idea book.  If you are interested in this Stamp of the Month or interested in a catalog, please email me at tntwisterman@sbcglobal.net.

World Card Making Day!

Are you crafting today? I am cleaning house and getting ready for family to come over for a salmon feast! Hubby is making his famous mango salsa for the salmon we caught...super yummy!

Here is another Christmas card for my upcoming workshop on October 1st. I used CTMH's Art of Philosophy Cricut cartridge, coordinating stamp set "Snowflakes" D1480, Grey Flannel and Crystal Blue inks.

Have a wonderful day and Happy Crafting!!!

And How About a Merry Christmas!

Here is another card I made for my upcoming workshop. I love to use my copic markers, but since it is for a workshop I used CTMH's stamp pads and the water brush.

I used the sketch from SFYTT-Sketch for You to Try. Check out their blog. I like that you have an entire month to enter this challenge....sometimes a girl just needs more time! LOL

My next posts will be from our Oregon vacation, so my Christmas cards will be put on hold for awhile. I will be getting ready for vacation, which includes teaching my dad how to separate and distribute my Close to My Heart order! Hope that goes well!!! LOL

Another Happy Holiday!

Here is another Christmas Card I have been working on....hope you dont get tired of them! There is more to come!

This is an adorable new stamp set I used from Close to My Heart. " Remarkable Wreaths" has berries, leaves and flowers to add to your wreath. Love it!!!

I spent this weekend making samples for my upcoming Christmas Card Workshop in October. This is one of the cards I came up with using the new Close to My Heart Art of Philosophy Cricut cartridge. I just can't stop using it!! The colors are non-traditional, but I always like to throw those in the mix!

Hope you have a wonderful Monday!

A Deer Card....

I just purchased "Heartfelt Christmas" from CTMH...the deer is so cute and I am loving the new Sparkles! Can you see his little nose?

Today is my son's 27th birthday...where did the time go! Happy Birthday Brian! Oh and go Giants! I sure hope they pull off a win tomorrow!

The Best Gift of All

Close to My Heart has a new sentiment stamp set for Christmas in the new Fall/Winter catalog. I love this saying because I think it sums up one of my favorite moments at Christmas time..."Being together is the Best Gift of All". I look forward to our family being together. :o)

We will be making this card at our next workshop. It has ribbon that reminds me of ribbon candy at Christmas!

October Stamp of the Month

The October Stamp of the Month has this cheery little snowman that we will be making a card with at our next workshop.

You can log onto my CTMH website to see the stamp of the month or look on the last page of the catalog for all the Stamps of the Month! You can earn it free with an order of $100.00 or there is a sliding scale price depending on your order total. You can also purchase for $22.95.

It is in the 90's this week with talk of 100's next week but...we are still preparing for Christmas!

(I really love summer so I am very happy!)

Merry Christmas!

Time to put down my fabric and start preparing for Christmas! (although I did save some binding to hand sew while I watch Greys tonight!)

This card will be one of cards being made at my Christmas card workshop next month. I love the Dimensional Elements Snowflakes from CTMH with Prism Glitter! I also used the new paper packet Mistletoe and the new Sparkles. Love the many new colors that Sparkles come in! Shades of blues/greens and reds/purples. Check out the new Close to My Heart catalog by "clicking" on the shopping cart.

I Have Been Busy...

I just realized I hadn't posted since last Saturday! This is a little of what I have been up to...

I finally finished my son's graduation album! We are going to his house for Thanksgiving and I wanted to have something to bring him. It is the first time Brian and Ashlie are hosting Thanksgiving and I am really proud of them!

Nails...for those of you who patiently listened to my whining while growing them out....I AM SORRY! I caved!

And finally...Christmas Cards...lots of Christmas Cards!

The Final Three...

Decision made...these are the last three cards we are making at our Christmas Card Workshop on Sunday. The "Santa" is totally "scrap-lifted" from Sparkle Creations http://sparklecreations.blogspot.com/ Thank you Sparkle!

I have my first CTMH Gathering in 2 yrs! I have been holding workshops at my home, but it has been some time since I gave a demonstration. I am exciting for my co-worker who is hosting the gathering. She is new to papercrafting and is highly addicted! I told her the best way to start collecting your product is to have a gathering. So...Wish Me Luck! Here is the Christmas Card we will be making.
