Ivy Lane - Final Three

Happy Sunday Morning folks!

Just thought I would pop in and share the final three cards I made that were inspired by the (now retired) Ivy Lane Card Workshop from Close To My Heart.


On this one, I used the second generation stamping technique so that the flowers would have a slightly faded out look. I like how they came out.

And for these two I played around with which side of the paper to use and the layouts. It is always fun to experiment! Would you believe that both cards use the same core elements - with a few small variations using the leftovers from the kit? Two very different looks.

Card details:

• finished size: 4.25 x 5.5 inches, CTMH Colonial White Card stock bases
• patterned papers and medallion stamps from the CTMH Ivy Lane Card Workshop
• additional stamp sets: CTMH Happy To Be Friends (C1605), Your Own Kind of Wonderful (D1627)
• CTMH Cricut Cartridge "Art Philosophy"

Challenges for these cards:

• Sister Act Card Challenge #104: Anything Goes

As always, thanks for stopping by!

Ivy Lane Card Workshop - variations

Hi folks,

Well, I decided I should get around to posting the backlog of cards I have made recently since I have the day off.

Here are a few cards I made using the bits and pieces for one of the cards in the (now retired) Ivy Lane Card Workshop from Close To My Heart.

If you are a regular follower of my blog, you know that whenever I play with a card kit, I like to deviate from the suggested pattern for the cards you can make from the kit. Just a little bit, so they are all a little different.

Here are four cards I made based on one of the cards in the workshop.

I quite like how they turned out with the additions of the butterflies and flowers to the Cricut cut focal medallions.

card details:

• finished size: 4.25 x 5.5 inches, colonial white card stock bases
• all consumable supplies from the CTMH Ivy Lane Card Workshop (now retired). 
• stamps used: B1473 - Flowers for Mom, D1627 - Your own kind of wonderful. Flowers and Butterfly coloured with Copic R81, R83, R85
• embellishments: Gold Shimmer Trim, Sequins

Challenges for these cards

• Sister Act Card Challenge #102: Anything Goes
