Paper Fundamentals by CTMH- Pretty Petals card

Hello & Welcome to today’s Blog Post! J
Pretty Petals_fall OH card_make n take_DSC_0014

I’m excited to share with you the Make n Take card my customers were able to create at my most recent Fall Open House!! 

If you would like to see the post concerning my Open House re-cap…please CLICK HERE.

This card was created with one of Close To My Heart’s FABULOUS how-to-books

 If you do not have any of these books - I HIGHLY recommend them!!  By having a pattern design already created, all I need to do is choose my paper pack & stamp set that I would like to use with the pattern design!

As you can see…this is a VERY simple card!!  I chose not to sponge the edges, but rather focused on using as much of NEW PRODUCTS that I could!!




I chose to use a new stamp set called “Pretty Petals”.  It is Cricut compatible stamp set, so that made my creating even EASIER!!  I used the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge from CTMH.

(Want to see all 3 EXCLUSIVE Cricut cartridges?  CLICK HERE)








I also used one of our NEW Mini stamp sets!  I LOVE these mini’s & I love their price point - ONLY $2.95!!
(CLICK HERE to view ALL of our mini stamp sets)









Take a peek stamped flowers at close range…
Pretty Petals_fall OH card_make n take_flowers_DSC_0014I used Sunset ink, Lagoon ink & Pear ink to create these flowers. 


If you look closely at the smaller flower, do you see the darker“outline” around the outside of the flower? 

This was done using our NEW ShinHan alcohol markers!!  The color used was peacock green (not shown in picture). Shinhan Markers_DSC_1571
Let’s take a peek at the bottom of this card   

I didn’t realize it at the time, but I was AMAZED at all the NEW items I added to the bottom of this card!!

Card design #6 from this 16 card workshop…
Seaside_set of 4 cards_card 6_DSC_3824


These card patterns came from the LOVELY Wishes How-To-Book, where it shows you how to create a 16 card workshop with only 3 sheets of paper!!



While I followed the “rule” of using 3 pieces of paper (+ card bases) to create these cards as per the book…I did add a strip of lagoon cardstock, punched with our new border punch to each card!





I ALSO was trying to showcase MANY of our new products!! 
Do you see all the NEW products??? J

New ink color - Glacier
Seaside Paper
Gold Sequins
Chevron Border Punch
Gold Shimmer Trim
Pretty Petals stamp set
Shinhan marker - Peacock Green


Take a peek at a close up of this card.

Very simple, but beautiful. 

My favorite thing about this Pretty Petals stamp set…it’s CRICUT Compatible!!  So, all of the flower shapes were cut with our Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge, & after they were cut…I just needed to stamp the flower image on top of the blank piece!!


If you’d like to see the rest of this card set,  come back and join me here at my blog to learn more about how EASY it is to create a simple workshop like this one!!
