March Girly Card

This was the card we created in my March Close To My Heart workshop ... I got the original idea from a post I saw on pinterest: http://patriciamanhire.wordpress.com/2014/02/23/1712/

We used the CTMH quatrefoil embossing folder to emboss the top paper.  The yellow is from the Jubilee paper pack.  We made the flower using 3 cuts of the same daisy shape from the Artiste cricut cartridge.  We inked the edges and curled the petals up to make it more realistic.

Post-It Holder

For my Close To My Heart May Workshop, the hostess wanted to do something different.  She didn't want to do a card or a scrapbook layout.  We settled on a post-it holder!  

I used the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge.  I cut a 3.5" card shape (page 33).  This was the main cover with the scallops.  I tried to find a flower that I liked that I could stamp, but I didn't have the right stamp sets to do what I wanted.  SO - I used the flower from the Art Philosophy set as well!  

I scored on either side of the card cut that cricut cut for me to fold over the post-it, used a little hot glue to keep it in place, tied a ribbon on the top for some added pizazz and ta-da - a cute little post-it holder to keep in my purse!

Masculine Birthday Card

I never know whether men will appreciate a handmade card.  What do you think?  I went with subtle, manly colors with a simple basket weave design.  The cardstock was brown, strips of paper were teal.

The "Celebrate!" stamp was not Close To My Heart ... I found it on a birthday set I had from Michael's.
