February Kit

These fun cards were made using 3 pieces of 6x6 printed paper and adding the pieces to 6 card bases.  This project was inspired by a card idea created by Pam Wallace from the CTMH messageboard.  This kit includes the supplies that you will need to recreate 6 of these cards-3 of each design.  The kit includes the CTMH stamp set "Girls Rock" for $20.00, or if you need the ink to go with it the cost will be $40.00 and will include the adventure 10 mini ink pads. 

Directions for Sock Monkey with "Who's My Valentine" set

Stamp 3 owls with cocoa ink onto colonial white cardstock
  - Trim around the 1st owl leaving a little bit of an edge around it and not cutting the space between his ears.
     This piece will be turned upside down for the monkey head.  Trim a small piece of CS for the brim of his
      hat that will cover over the beak.
-Cut out the bottom portion of the next owl, this will be the monkey body.
-On the third owl, cut a straight line down from each ear to the bottom of the owl, round up the bottom edge.  These will be the monkey arms.

Using the Artiste Cricut cartridge cut the following all from pg. 36 in book
Accent 2
 -1@ 3/4" in cranberry cardstock for the inside of mouth.
 -1@ 3/4" in colonial white cardstock for outside ear-cut down the middle for two ears and stamp each one in cocoa ink with the bottom portion of the owl stamp.
 -1@ 1/2" in colonial white cardstock-cut down the middle for two ears and attach to outside ear.
Accent 4>Shift
 -1 @ 3/4" in colonial white cardstock for outside of mouth.

The tag is made from craft cardstock cut 3"x5" with top edges trimmed at an angle
Cranberry piece is cut 2 1/2" x 3"- scored every 1/4 inch and sanded.
Circle is cut 3/4" and punched in the middle.
Use black fine tip marker to add details.
I used a edge punch for the bottom scallop.

Who's Your Valentine Sock Monkey

Let's turn that owl upside down!   I wonder if the artist of this stamp set had this image in mind as he or she created that fun little owl?  This fun little monkey was made with the stamp set from the CTMH "Who's Your Valentine" and the Artiste Cricut cartridge.  This stamp set can be yours for only $10.00 and comes with 12 trendy tubes that can be filled with treats, some cardstock including one sheet of glitter paper and the fun valentine set that I used to create this tag.  If you're interested you can follow the link on the side of this page to place your order.  Please click on the January order link on the bottom right hand side.

I will be cutting all of the pieces apart and posting here along with instructions on how you can recreate this, if you would like.

Day #7-12 Days of Christmas Drawing

Today is the first day that things are going to change up a bit.  I have now offered up 6 prizes and am now going to give you a deal of the day to entice you to join in on the fun.  I mentioned in an email to my customers that I am planning to offer a FREE class to anyone qualifying for the SOTM this month when January rolls around.  If you are too far away to join us, that is fine I will share the card instructions through email.  We will be making the box of cards shown in the photo above.  I have asked that the two items I would need for you to purchase would be the box and 3x3 envelopes.

 I am setting up an open shopping cart for anyone who wants to take part for the next few days.  This means, you let me know that you'd like the deal of the day, I write it down, and we continue to run a tally until the end of the twelve days.  That way you're more apt to qualify for the SOTM and for the fun Valentines day set that will be offered starting the 13th.

Day #7 Deal-If you buy the Memory Game for $9.95.  I will throw in the 12 envelopes.
The supplies for the FREE class would then only be $9.95 rather than the $17.95 that it would have been.
