If you have arrived from Joyce Gough's blog you are right on track.

Today, we are going to take a look at one of our beautiful NEW cardmaking kits!  Do you know how FABULOUS our Workshop Your Way (WYW) kits are at Close To My Heart??

Allow me to introduce the "WYW Lucky Friendship Cardmaking Kit" 

Each month, I host a Cardmaking Class using a WYW kit....and, I try and put my own "spin" to the card designs of each kit.  

Here are the two card designs created & designed by CTMH...they are so pretty!

Today, I will be sharing my one "extra" design I created, using the SAME cut pieces from this kit.

Take a peek at my card :) 
  

Can you tell which card design I used of CTMH's, to create this card??

I chose to add ONE more CTMH product to create this card....the "Butterfly Friendship" stamp/thin cut bundle.  I ADORE this new set!!

As you can see...there are 3 metal dies to cut out these beautiful butterfly images! 
PLUS....you can "color in" your butterflies, with the matching inside stamp set!

  

For my butterfly, I used Lagoon ink, and stamped the inside by using the stamp set! I'm hoping you can also see the "glitter shine" that the butterfly has.  
This was created by using our CLEAR shimmer pen. 

Here are the two card designs together, that I created from this WYW cardmaking kit.

The card on the Left is the Original, created by CTMH art department.....
The card on the right, is "my design"....using the SAME cut pieces, but just turning the card a different way & adding a new stamp image! 

If you enjoy Creating & having the ideas already created for you....I highly suggest you give one of CTMH's WYW kits a try!!  They are always beautiful cards (and we have WYW kits for scrapbook pages too!) & you can even change things around a bit if their design isn't quite like you like.    

That's all for today....thanks for stopping by, and I hope you were inspired to go CREATE something on your own! :)
