Rose Frame

I used the Close to My Heart Art Philosophy Cartridge to make the 3D roses. The cartridge cuts themin any size I chose and all I had to do was to roll them and then use the Liquid Glass to secure them. I also cut the leaves with the cartridge in a variety of sizes and added the CTMH Opaque Pearls.
The frame was purchased from Michaels and painted.

Calendar Class

It was fun to create each month artwork, and everyone enjoyed the stations to create them for their own calendar!

Project 365

People have asked about Project 365. Basically, it is taking one photo each day that shows what you have done that day, and includes a place to write a sentence or two about the photo. Here is one of my week pages. I used CTMH 4x6" page protectors and CTMH cardstock cut to 4x6 photo size, which I than ran through my printer with the days of the week and lines to write on. If you are interested in getting a copy of these cards to use, please e-mail me at MNKaty@aol.com and I would be happy to share them with you!

Gift Card Holder Instructions

Gift Card Holder

Shown with a Christmas theme, this gift card can be easily made for any occasion!

You only need to cut 4 pieces of paper to make this cute gift card:

*Cardstock for base - 4 x 8" and score on one end at 2 3/4"

(I used Tulip)

*Cardstock for fold over sentiment - Cut 4 x 3 1/2" and score at 2" to make card 2 x 3 1/2" (I used white)

*Cardstock to mat Sentiment Card - Cut 2 1/4" x 3 3/4"

(I used Creme Brulee)

*B&T paper 3 7/8" x 2 5/8" for bottom of the card. (I used the striped paper from the the Creative Basics Jingle)

To Assemble:

1) Fold Cardstock base on score line toward the front of the card. Do not attach yet.

2) Attach B&T to bottom of card, centering for a 1/8" border.

3) Punch out a circle on the right side of the card - JUST the cardstock and B&T paper, NOT the back of the card - to make a thumb pull for the gift card.

4) Use adhesive on just the inside left and top of the card to close the gift card holder. Remember not to use adhesive where the card will be going!

5) Center sentiment mat on the top part of the card and attach.

6) Stamp desired sentiment on the front of the sentiment card, and attach to the center of the mat.

7) Embellish card as desired. (I used D1366 Holiday Trinkets)
