Large Card Keeper Box Instructions

 

Hi everyone!

I know it has been quite a while since I shared on here.

BUT... I have so many new things to talk about.  I will get to that another day though.

Today I want to share some instructions that I finally got around to typing up as a PDF file for you.  It is for a Large Card Keeper Box, originally designed by Erica Cerwin way back in 2012.  I created a box using Erica's free instructions that I shared here on my blog back in 2012, as well as sharing it on Pinterest.  I still get contacted with requests for the instructions (just 2 again last week) because of the reach that Pinterest has.

I finally broke down and took the time to type them up (it seriously takes a day to do all this), and I included all of my changes to her original instructions, and I am sharing those with you today.  Erica's free instructions were shown step by step with photos on her blog, but they were not in a printable file. 

So after all these years... here they are for you, also for FREE.  Enjoy!

Pumpkin Spice Cards with Vicki's 2 Sheet Wonder

 

Hi everyone!

Hope you are well.

I'm back today to show you another sampling of fun cards I created with my NEW Two Sheet Wonder instructions, this time using papers from the very recent Pumpkin Spice paper pack.

Here's a better look at the cards...

The sweater stamp I used on my cards is from an old retired set called Ugly Sweater.  But there currently is a CTMH set that you can still get called Pumpkin Spice - Scrapbooking which even comes with matching dies.

The sentiments I used are all from one great set called For All Occassions.  A perfect addition to anyone's stamp collection.

I personally love how these cards turned out.  I hope you like them too.  ;)

If you wish to purchase a copy of my Two Sheet Wonder instructions, you can find the info here.

I also created a matching card box to hold all of these cards, using my Large Card Box Tutorial.  (I am going to create a seperate post showing it, so please look for that.)

Happy creating!

With Heartfelt Sympathy - Know That I Care Stamp Set

I created this card with the CTMH Know That I Care stamp set.

The little heart is from the I Heart Us Cardmaking stamp set.

And I stamped the images onto the darker side of Linen cardstock with Intense Black ink, then coloured them in with Copic markers.

Happy creating!  :)

Know That I Care

I created this card with the CTMH Know That I Care stamp set.

I sponged and blended the background with Peacock, Lagoon, Glacier, Sweet Leaf, and Willow inks.

And I used a Gold Shimmer Brush to tap the splash of gold flecks over top, before adhering the main image and ribbon. 

Below is a video clip, showing the prettiness of the gold shimmer.  💙

Happy creating!  :)

I Heart Us & Card Captions Card Set

I guess I got busy and forgot to post this set of cards back in January when this CTMH Stamp of the Month, Card Captions, was current.

I used this set for the sentiments, along with bulk papers from the I Heart Us paper packet.

Happy creating!  :)

Make a Wish - Feels Like Home

For this card, I used papers from CTMH Feels Like Home.

The main floral paper is just black, white and grey images, so I coloured the flowers on the patterned paper with blue and green markers, to give it some more depth and interest, although it is really pretty on its own.

I just wanted to add a pop of colour.

For the wreath, I used the Feels Like Home Scrapbooking stamp set, and the sentiment is from a retired M-size stamp called Wish.

Lastly, I added a white ribbon bow and some clear sparkles.

This card feels a little like Spring to me.

Happy creating!  :)

Sending You Hedge-hugs!

This recently retired CTMH Hedge-hugs stamp set is so cute!

I used CTMH:

• Raspberry cardstock
• Raspberry ink
• White Daisy cardstock
• Intense Black ink
• retired Bamboo paper fundamentals
• retired Hedge-hugs stamp set
• watercolor pencils
• waterbrush, journal pen
• 3D foam tape.

Non-CTMH: 

• hot pink sequins
• 3" circle punch

Happy creating!  :)

Inspire Card Set

I've been going through my many years of accumulated stash of papercrafting items, selling off as much as I can of the things I won't use.

In doing that, I have come across quite a few things that has made me want to play...

These papers are one of the items.  They are from an 8x8 paper pad from October Afternoon called Report Card.  They have an antique-y, old school feel to them.  So pretty in person.

I paired the papers up with a retired CTMH stamp set called Inspire, to create this set of cards.

I also used the new CTMH I Heart Us Cardmaking stamp set on the card above and below.

You should go through your stash and see what inspires you to create!

Happy creating!  :)

Dandelion Wishes Cards

I used the CTMH Dandelion Wishes stamp set to make both of these birthday cards, along with Ballerina and Charcoal cardstock.

The "Make a Wish" sentiment is from the retired Wish, an M-sized stamp.

After I embossed the images with white embossing powder, I coloured the embossed dandelions with a Tender Pink marker.

( I was inspired by a SU card made by Megumi Holland.) 💕

I also used the Playful Scallops embossing folder for the card above.

For my shaker, I used the Stitched Circles Thin Cuts to create a little smaller shaker, as the Shaker Window Thin Cuts dies were a little too big for the size I needed for this card.

Happy creating!  :)

♥

Love Blossoms Card

I used the CTMH Love Blossoms stamp along with the retired Sending Smiles stamp set.

The Love Blossoms set is still available until the end of March, if I remember correctly.  ;)

And I just happen to have an extra NEW set available for purchase.  

(I ordered the second one by mistake.  Oops!)

This is what the Love Blossoms (double) set looks like:

Contact me if you need this set.  I will give you a deal!

Happy creating!  :)

Butterfly Friendship Card

I created this card with CTMH So Much Happy papers and Butterfly Friendship stamps with matching Thin Cuts dies. 💙

I also used one of the dies from the set of Fancy Tags Thin Cuts set.

If you look closely, you will see two different embossing folders were used, also:  the new Playful Scallops and Swiss Dot.

And I also used a piece of So Much Happy Washi tape at the top of the tag.

Lastly, the sequins are from the I Heart Us sequins pack.

Happy creating!  :)

Congrats on Your Wedding

I created this card with the CTMH Feels Like Home - Cardmaking stamp set.

I random stamped the background in Mink ink with one of the images in the set, to create my own patterned paper. 

And I colored in the leaves with Willow ink and a waterbrush.

Happy creating!  :)

It's the Little Things & You're the Best

I whipped these two cards up today.

Some days, it all just flows out of me.

(And some days, it is a little more work.)

These ones were easy; I love that.  :)

For both cards, I used the CTMH Budding Peony (with Thin Cuts dies) and Wordfetti stamp sets, and Sugarplum, Sage, and Canary inks on my flower images.

I noticed in the photo that it looks like some of the little stars in my shaker are blue, but they are actually more of a pearlescent colour, and look more like shades of white and pink IRL. 

I used two markers to colour my Clear Sparkles and Bitty Sparkles;  first with the Peony Purple and then the Tender Pink.

For the random stamped background, I set up my stamps onto a 4"x4" block as shown below, and inked them in Mink ink.  I then only had to stamp this 3 times to fill my Lt. Mink cardstock piece.

It always feels so good to get my craft on!

Happy creating!  :)

It's Somebody's Birthday Card Set with Something Fierce Papers

I created this fun birthday card set using CTMH papers from Something Fierce, and the It's Somebody's Birthday stamp set.

And I found an online tutorial from PootlesPapercrafts on Youtube for the card box, although I had to make adjustments to the measurements for it to be able to hold my 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" cards and envelopes.

If anyone is wanting the link to the tutorial, along with my adjusted measurements, just let me know, and I can add the info as an update onto this blog post.  :)

Happy creating!  :)
