Pemberly

The layout and cards today are from the Pemberly paperpack from CTMH. This pack was featured in last season's book, but carried over to the new one. This was one of the first sets I ordered, because I loved the blues and the print on the patterned papers. I felt like this was such a versatile pack!

I made 4 cards using the same pattern on all of them. I love doing the same style card with different sentiments. I think it makes a great little on the go gift if you need something quick! Just put them together with some envelopes, tie a bow around and done.

These were all made with Pemberly patterned paper, white cardstock, some CTMH blue buttons, and white twine. Ink and stamps were also CTMH. 

Now for the layout. I haven't added my pictures to this one yet, as I'm not sure which ones I will use. Banners are still very on trend for layouts and cards. And I love them. I've used a few on the sides to give it a small something extra in places where it just looked  to plain.  For the upper left corner, the white butterflies came from CTMH. I just stamped a little image on each one to make them different in the same colors that I used in my layouts to make them flow.  

 

Superheros to the Rescue

In the last book, CTMH had a Superheros paper pack that I absolutely loved!  I have a little 5 month old grandson, and I knew the papers would be perfect for some of his pictures. I can't wait to show you how they turned out.

I dressed Tripp up like Clark Kent, look at his onesie with a tie on it and his glasses. I think the pics really make the layouts..lol

The design of the layout is not my own. Once I saw them posted in a group I  am on, they really caught my eye and I thought there were perfect for the pictures. It was originally done by Kim Ferguson Donahoo's Roxie layout, with a few adjustments I used Superheros paper. 

I'm sorry to say we can't purchase the paperpack anymore, July 31st was the last day.  I do have lots of current things to share with you coming soon!

Cute Way to Package!

I love to make 3x3 cards. They are great to slip into little bags when people order stuff from me. I think they add the perfect touch to say thanks and also show off some ideas on how to use our products.

A lot of my friends are in home based businesses. I know someone that sells just about anything from Miche purses, Thirty One, Pampered Chef, Premier Jewelery, you know it, I have a gal :) We all trade parties to get our groups started again if we fizzle out or to just have a fun girls night out.

The perfect little hostess gift for me to give to each of these, are little "Thanks for your business" notecards so they too can thank their customers in a sweet little note.  This set is one I made for one of those friends.

I started out making a small box large enough to hold 6 3x3 notecards and matching envelopes. The instructions were pretty simple after a little fiddling around a bit with the edges. You have to remember to cut some of the slits, which weren't listed in the directions I followed, but quickly figured out.

All of these were created using CTMH products. Please contact me if you have any questions.
