Hello Birdie My Originals Card Kit

These 12 cards were created using the My Originals "Hello Birdie" card kit.

This was a fun and simple project because the kit comes with 12 card blanks, 12 enevelope flats, and 3 sheets of coordinating stickers. I took the creativity up a notch by adding Liquid Glass to certain parts of the designs to give more dimension to the card front and draw attention to the details I wanted highlighted. I also used a corner rounder on a couple of the cards, and finally I used my craft knife to make cut-out embellishments to a few of the cards.

All 12 cards were created in an 1.5 hours from start to finish, including gluing the envelopes together. I definitely mark this kit as a "Must Buy"!

Mommy & Me Card Workshop Cards

We had a very nice time at the Mommy & Me card workshop. I wish I could've scanned in the creations of all the kids before they took off tonight with their finished cards. Below are a couple new cards I created while the group was here. I utilized a variety of products that I had hanging around. I really like how the "Celebrate" card turned out with the tag pocket on the front...simple, clean, but oh, so chic. I hope you enjoy these too and find some inspiration while you're here!

You're a Hoot!

This adorable card was created using the Close To My Heart My Acrylix "You're a Hoot" stamp set.

I'd love to teach you how to create fabulous hand crafted cards of your own. Sign up to attend a card workshop and I'll show you how.

Thank you for being my friend - 08/08/09

This is what the back of the card looks like.

This is what the interior of the card looks like.

This is the front cover of the first card I created today. I used a recipe found in the Close To My Heart Card Confidence Program book "Originals". Using a recipe found in the book, and the paper cutting template for the center "sash" found on the included CD, and several wonderful Close To My Heart stamps, inks, and papers, I was able to create this stunning thank you card.
