~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There are 5 Workshop kits that CTMH will be creating during this TWO-Day event. I chose to use the "Sending Hugs Cardmaking Workshop" for my creation today.

Close To My Heart has created a BEAUTIFUL set of 20 cards, that we'll be creating on April 30th!

I had a bit of leftover paper, and so I decided to create 2 additional cards using our BRAND NEW, Make It From Your Heart - volume 5 --- How To Book.

If you have read any of my other blog posts, it won't take you long to realize how MUCH I adore using our How-To Books! They save me so much TIME & Thinking...and I love to pull out these books to grab a sketch to use for a scrapbooking page, or card I'm creating.

Let's take a look at today's set of cards ---both cards use Pattern #21 in the Volume 5 edition. 😊

Did you notice?? Both of these cards are from the SAME PATTERN design!! 😉 That's one of the GREAT perks in our How-to-books. You don't have to keep it the pattern the same direction, but it's fun to CHANGE it up & get a totally different look!💗

Let's take a look at the first card....

This Koala bear is OH so CUTE!! I colored her in, by using the Watercolor paints that CTMH will use on their card designs too!

Take a look at the dotted lines that I stamped around the square....isn't it amazing what an extra touch like that can do?

Did you KNOW?? That this stamp set can ONLY be purchased as part of this bundle?
Let's take a look at that stamp set before moving to my next card design.

Which stamp image is YOUR favorite??

Let's take a look at the second card.

(it's turned a quarter turn for a NEW card design!)

This Zebra is pretty CUTE too! I added some of the flower images from the set to "accent" her & those JULEP sequins that are INCLUDED in the workshop kit...are the PERFECT color for these "Lovely" papers!

Here's a closer look ---

One of the FUN things I did on this card, was to create my own border strip. By using the single flower & the dashed line...I was able to add an extra touch! The flowers were colored with pink watercolor paint. 😉

I hope you enjoyed my card creations & that you were INSPIRED today!! :)

Now it's time to "Hop" on over to Wendy's Blog to see her beautiful creation!
