If you have arrived from the talented Nancy Brown’s blog you are right on track. 

This month I wanted to share a set of cards I created using the Pathfinding Workshop on the Go Cardmaking kit. 

Our Cardmaking Workshop kits from Close To My Heart are BEAUTIFUL as well as loaded with techniques, tips & a way to create in a very short time!!

I host cardmaking workshops, and we always create the 1st set of cards like CTMH has designed them.

However, my gals really enjoy when I “re-create” the cards and use another current stamp set that we carry. 

Each card kit creates 15 cards - that’s 5 cards of each of the 3 designs. 

Here are the original card designs by CTMH… 

Now, here are the “re-created” cards by me J” 

I used the NEW A Budding Friendship stamp set…

and on the re-created cards…I used the exact paper pieces on each card. 

Here they are all together so that you can see the differences…

To create the set of 3 floral cards, you will need to stamp these images below. 

Please keep in mind - the floral stamped images shown below,  will create one of EACH flower card design. 

If you want to create all 15 cards using the Budding Friendship stamp set, you would need to stamp all of these images 5 more times.

Our cardmaking Workshop kits are ONLY $24.95 each!!

New Product Blog Hop- Pathfinding Card Workshop

WELCOME to the New Product Blog Hop!!

New products are always FUN…and Close To My Heart has gone above & beyond in this NEW Idea Book!!

I have my annual Open House this week, so I am creating lots of NEW items to share with those in attendance!  

Take a peek at the BEAUTIFUL, Pathfinding Cardmaking Workshop that CTMH is now offering to us!

This autumn paper pack is just BEAUTIFUL…but I absolutely LOVE the stamp set that is included in this workshop!! 

Here are the 3 cards I’ve created so far…

I plan on creating some “different” cards with the rest of these papers as well.  My workshop class always enjoys when I show them new & different ways to create these cards!

While these cards are SIMPLE to create….I love how CTMH used these stamp sets in so many different ways!!

This woodgrain stamp image creates a PERFECT background for Card #1!!

I love the 4 different ink colors used to create this sentiment on Card #2! Goldrush, Chocolate, Glacier (new color!) & Desert Sand

Did you notice the arrow border on Card #3? 

YES - it is the same stamp image used in card #2, but we covered up the other part of the arrow border with the glitter tape & paper!!

I hope these cards have inspired you to do some creating on your own!! 

Contact your CTMH Consultant (or click here if you need a consultant J) to see how you can receive these New Products from Close To My Heart!

Blessings to you for a WONDERFUL day!!!
