New Technique

It's been awhile since I've last posted and I've had this card just sitting on my desk so I thought I would get it up.  It's a different design and something fun and easy to make. The one thing I like about this card as you pull the front down it shows the different little squares that have different designs on them.

Pull down on the ribbon to make the differet squares open up.

This is what it looks like once you have pulled the ribbon fully down.

Little Reminder Stamp of the Month

It's that time of the month again and we are off to a new Stamp of the Month.  This is the last stamp of the month in the new catalog.  If you have come here from Traci Godbee's blog you are on the right path.  If you get lost you can click here and you will find a list of all the blogs.

This stamp of the month is called, "Little Reminder."  We have a lot of wonderful consultants participating this month. 

Since my daughter is going to be turning one, I made a card for when she was first born and we brought her home.  When making cards I'm always trying to find different templates and sometimes it's easier said than done.  One of my neighbors did a template like this, but then I also found it on Pinterest.  All of my stamping supplies I used you will find them on my close to my heart site except the ribbon is just something that I had laying around.  So let's begin.....

This is what it would look like when you got it in the mail.

All CTMH products except the ribbon. 

Paperpack: Cherry-O
Ink: Cotton Candy and Black

Stamp Set:  Little Reminder

Now head on over to Cindy Leek's blog to see what she has designed.
