I thought it might be nice to see the 5 items I submitted to apply to be a teacher at CTMH’s annual convention this year…

Some of these items, you have seen in past posts, but there is one more item that I created to apply that I hadn’t yet shared on my blog! J

Check it OUT!!! A FUNSHINE card!!!

I really liked how this“Having Some Funshine” card turned out…and the best part is that the card design came from one of CTMH’s How-To-Books Make It From Your Heart - volume 1, pattern #24.

I know I’ve mentioned it before…but I have to tell you again…I LOVE these how-to books!!! They save so much TIME and help me to create Faster.Simpler. Easier!!

The best part…it’s ONLY $7.95 - and this gives you (16) 2 page layouts, (2) 1 page layouts and (12) card designs!!! Yay!!

Ok - on to details about the card…

Surf's Up card_having some funshine_close up

I wanted to use a lot of different techniques to try and make this card a FUN, Wow card. J

First, I sanded the lagoon cardstock with the rough-sided sand paper to create some rustic cardstock. Next, I did a lot of inking the edges, but rather than using a sponge for a soft look….I swiped my papers across the ink pad giving it a more rustic look.

I used TWO of our new stamp sets…

1. the stamp set from the Surf’s Up Workshop on the Go kit

2. C1531 Tropical Paradise

The Surf’s Up Workshop stamp set can ONLY be purchased by getting the WOTG kit! I love this set! BUT…I couldn’t create an item without using that adorable turtle that comes in the Tropical Paradise stamp set. J

To add some glitz and glam - I used the dark brown sheet of glitter paper, and I used the bronze glitz glitter gel to edge my card.

The NEW Surf’s Up assortment is the BEST…and that’s how I got that adorable accordian fold flower with the button on top.

Take a look at the Surf’s Up assortment….and it's only $5.95!
