March Stamping Workshop

• Tuesday, March 13
• 6:30-8:30
• $8.00 per kit

During this workshop you can make cards or a scrapbooking layout - or both! For only $8 you can make four cards (two each of two designs) or one two-page scrapbooking layout.

This workshop is perfect for both beginners and more advanced crafters, and it's a great opportunity to bring friends. In fact, if you bring a friend with you (who hasn't been to one of my workshops before), you will both receive a free pack of embellishments or a roll of ribbon from me!

Stargazer is the featured paper collection for March, so we'll be using that in this month's workshop. These papers and designs are good for both boys and girls, which is helpful because I'm always running low on cards for boys!

Here are the two stamp sets we'll be using at this workshop.

February Stamp of the Month

Today I'm sharing some information about the February stamp of the month set - Sunny Thoughts. I know it's late in the month, but it's not too late to get this beautiful and versatile stamp set!

I love when a stamp set includes so many useful sentiments, and they are perfectly sized for a card. I also love the little flower images that can add just the right finishing touch to your project.

I have seen some great artwork online using this stamp set. If you're interested in seeing some of this artwork, search the hashtags #ctmhsunnythoughts, #ctmhsotm, #stampofthemonth, or #ctmhstampofthemonth on social media. Those should get you some good ideas!

Here are a few cards I've made using the Sunny Thoughts stamp set.

This stamp of the month is only available in February! You can buy it at the full retail price of $17.95 or get it for only $5 with a $50 order.

CTS 259 - Something Magical

I'm back with another card for you based on a sketch from the CAS(E) this Sketch blog!

Here's the sketch for this week:

And here's my card:

When I saw this sketch, I immediately thought of the stamp set from the Something Magical Cardmaking Kit. The circle would be perfect for this card!

When I first got this kit and started using the stamp set, I went ahead and cut out a bunch of circles from White Daisy cardstock. I know whenever I use this set, I'm going to want a circle, so I just keep extra blank ones in the envelope with the stamp set. Then they're ready for me when I want them!

The patterned paper for my card comes from the Make Waves paper packet, and I also used some Make Waves Shimmer Trim. The bow is made out of ribbon from the Whimsy Ribbon Pack, and I stamped the sentiment with Peacock ink.

If you have any questions about any of the products I used today, please feel free to contact me. And don't forget about the great deals happening this month. You can find out more at the links below!

Superhero Card Workshop

• Saturday, March 10
• 1:30-3:30
• $10.00

I'm so excited about my upcoming Superhero Card Workshop! At this fun workshop, you will make four cards - two each of two designs - featuring the Super Girl and Super Boy stamp sets.

The workshop costs $10, which covers your supplies, the use of my stamps and tools, and my instruction. All of your papers will also be pre-cut for you. All you need to bring is adhesive; I would suggest a double-sided tape runner and foam tape. If you don't have adhesive or would prefer to not bring your own, I can provide it for $5.00.

Here are the two card designs you will make at this workshop.

------------

The second card also has a pocket on the inside where you can stamp a sentiment or put a gift card!

In addition to the Super Girl and Super Boy stamp sets, we will be using the Comic Book Scenes stamp set and the March stamp of the month set - Birthday Time. There will be several images and sentiments from which to choose, so you can make your cards your way!

You can find all the information and RSVP on the Facebook event page. The sign-up deadline is Thursday, March 8th. Space is limited, so sign up soon!

If you have any questions, please feel free to call, email, or text me. I hope to see you there!

Thanks,
