CTMH Lollydoodle WOTG Cards

Hi folks,

If I ever get my lazy butt in gear, I'll be hosting some card-making workshops as fund-raising events for a charity that is near and dear to my heart. I decided to take advantage of the card making workshops on the go that come already planned for you from Close To My Heart as a way to nudge myself into the planning of these workshops.

These are the three cards from that workshop that I have made up to use as the samples to show the attendees what to do.

Of course, they will have the option of putting things together differently and using different stamps if they like.

card details:

• finished size: 4.25 x 5.5 inches, white daisy card stock bases
• patterned papers, stamps, embellishments: Close To My Heart Lollydoodle Card-Making Workshop on the go

Feel free to check out the currently available Workshops on the Go at my CTMH shopping portal!

Always be your own kind of Wonderful

Hi folks,

Boy I've been a slack blogger of late! So much going on that I just keep forgetting to post the cards that I have been making. Anyways, I'm back today to share the third card I made when I was playing with my new Shinhan Touch Twin Markers from Close to My Heart.

And here's a close-up so you can see how the wings on the butterfly have been popped up.

Notice the shading on the wings? That was achieved with just two markers - Turquoise Blue and Peacock Green.

card details:

• finished size: 4.25 x 5.5 inches, CTMH White Daisy card base, Lagoon and Slate card stock for mats
• patterned papers: CTMH Lollydoodle
• stamps: CTMH "Your Own Kind of wonderful" (D1627) stamped in Slate Ink (Z2173), butterfly coloured with Shinhan Touch Twin Markers Turquoise Blue (Z2465) and Peacock Green (Z2461)
• embellishments: Silver Shimmer Trim (Z1799)

As always, thanks for stopping by!

Dream Big

Hi folks,

Back today to share another of my recent creations that came about because I wanted to play with my new Shinhan Touch Twin Markers from Close To My Heart.
