UMT-Paint Chip Fun

Hey There! Welcome to the next Using My Tools Thursday post on alll things beautiful. I am so glad you are joining me today and also so glad to share with you some creative inspiration. I've had some paint chips for, umm oh my goodness,  probably a year or so and it wasn't until this week that I finally buckled down and was determined to make cards with them. I made several so I will show them to you over the next couple of weeks. Enjoy and I hope you are inspired!

I chose to make 1 masculine and 1 feminine card.

I chose muted tones for the masculine design and a simple geometric circular stamp from Gina K Designs.

I chose to use a floral stampfrom Stampin Up for the feminine design.

Added some stickers and ribbon.

 If you are inspired to try making these types of cards I  have a tutorial on how to make these cards on my Tutorials Tab here.

Take Care and enjoy your weekend!

CMM-Pocket Cards

Hello All! So glad you can join me for my next card creation. My crafting time has been limited but I recently had some time to crank out a few cards and try a few new techniques so I'm so excited to share the with you.

Here goes!

I made these pocket cards. I'm not sure if that is exactly what they are called. If oyu know the proper name for the fold please leave a comment below.

I used Tim Holtz distress inks togive it a watercolor look.

 As you can see you can get creative with what you put inside.

Thank you for joining me and I hope you are inspired to try this card fold. I hope you find time this week to create something beautiful!

CMM-Woodland Scene

Howdy! ok, so I am not from the south but after a while us blog posters can only find so many ways to greet ya'll. lol I am actually creating this post on January 27th in the middle of a blizzard in MA. I'm home from work today and figured I'd schedule out a few posts. This is the last of my scheduled posts today. I definitely have to get away from this keyboard because my neck is cramping up and my husband has been taking a nap for the last 2 hours. Time to wake him up but first I want to show yo my card. By the time this posts hopefully we are experience the wonderful signs of spring!

 Thank you for joining me and I hope you find time this week to create something beautiful!

Card Making Monday-Masculine Thank You

Hey friends! Welcome back for another Card Making Monday post. Today's card uses some heat embossing. This is a SU stamp. It is retired and I was very lucky to find a used set to buy. I saw this image on another card and went hunting on-line. It wasn't until I attended a big crop weekend that the SU representative replied to my email letting me know she had the set and would be willing to sell it to me. yeah!!!!

Anyway, simple design, basic layout, traditional masculine colors and voila! That's all she wrote.

Now it's your turn to go make something beautiful....

CMM-Get Well Scraps

Welcome to Card Making Monday! So here's what I've been up to. My get well card stash has gotten low. Unfortunately with the winter season has come some need for Get Well Cards. So I took as look at my scrap stash and went to work. I made a card set of 4 of this design with various patterned scraps so they are all a little different. I don't typically make more than 4 of the same card because i don't want to send the same card to the same person. My memory is not that great to remember each card design I send out. lol

I hope you've enjoyed viewing the latest card by all things beautiful.  Thank you for joining me and make sure to find time create something beautiful!
