CTMH Pathfinding WOTG

Hi folks,

Just thought I would share the cards I've made using the Pathfinding Workshop on the Go Cardmaking Kit.

Friends of mine keep asking me to host some workshops so they can make some cards. When I asked what they would like to make, there were requests for thank you cards, birthday cards, all occasion. Everything!

Since the suggested cards in the Pathfinding kit are all about giving thanks, I thought they would make a good starting point. But, I also wanted to show how you aren't just limited to making five of the three suggested cards.

Here's the cards I have made so far. The first three are the cards from the workshop itself:

And the next three are the alternate versions:

card details:

• finished size: 4.25 x 5.5 inches, CTMH Colonial White Card Bases
• Pathfinding Workshop On The Go Card-Making Kit, the last three cards use stamps from the "You Mean the World to Me" (B1467) set.

challenges for these cards:

• The Pink Elephant #278 - Anything Goes
• Heart 2 Heart Challenges: No Rules
• Seize the Birthday: Anything Goes Birthday for the birthday cards (toppings leaves)
• Simon Says: Thanks/Thanksgiving for the thank you cards

As always, thanks for stopping by!

Our journey begins at home

Hi folks,


Just popping in to share a card I made for friends of ours who recently moved into a new home. It's actually been a while since they moved into their new house but we only managed to visit them this past weekend. Not only did we get to see their new house, we ALSO got to meet their 4 month old baby boy for the first time!

This is one of my new stamps from Unity Stamp Co - it was one of stamps in a Grab Bag Special Collection I picked up a little while ago. I have totally become enamoured of the stamps that Unity makes. My collection is growing VERY quickly. I expect it will grow AGAIN this weekend as it is their annual Brown Friday Sale! AWESOME deals to be had!


I'm also going to be sure to link this one up for the Friday Friends with Flair over at their blog.


card details:

• finished size: 5.5 x 5.5 inches, black card stock base
• patterned paper: Basic Grey "Marjolaine"
• stamp: Unity Stamp Co "Begins at Home", stamped in Close To My Heart Glacier ink. I then popped a red enamel heart over the heart in the stamped image.

As always, thanks for stopping by!

CTMH Snowhaven Christmas Cards

Hi folks,

Just thought I would pop in and share some cards I have made using the Snowhaven Card-Making Workshop on the Go.

A few friends have expressed an interest in attending a Christmas Card workshop hosted by me so I'm trying to come up with some ideas, using the WOTG as a base.

Of course, the three card patterns that are the basis of the WOTG are a starting point but I wanted to show how you could make different cards just by changing the orientation of the card, the stamp, the side of the paper you are using or the layout. Here are the six cards I've done so far.

The first three are the original cards from the WOTG:

And these three are alternate versions:

I'm quite happy with how they turned out.

card details:

• finished size: 4.25 x 5.5 inches, CTMH White Daisy Card Blanks
• Snowhaven Workshop on the Go Card-Making Kit, the tag stamp on the last card is from the Yuletide Carol Workshop On The Go
• butcher's twine from my stash

Challenges for these cards:

• Christmas Card Challenges #50 - Faith based but since that isn't my thing and any Christmas card will do...here's six of mine!

As always, thanks for stopping by!
