Chantilly "Swing" Card

Hey Everyone,

Check out my latest Chantilly "swing" card inspired by the H2H Challenge - Pun Fun

I love spring from the flowers to the butterflies but most of all the rainbows !  But like the cards says "Without rain there are no rainbows" -- so here's hoping for April Showers.

Fancy Folds Card Workshop

The launch of the new CTMH catalogue means new paper patterns to play with! Here are a few cards made with the "For Always", "Later Sk8r" and "Chantilly" paper collections.

To get your hands on these cards join the facebook event or purchase premade cards here on my website store.

 

 

 

 

 

Let's start with two diamond fold cards made using the the new "For Always" collection.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These cards are made using a unique folding technique that creates a center diamond that lifts out of the card.

The next set of cards are made using my geared up "Later Sk8r" paper collection

  






The first of these cards looks pretty simple from the outside but opens to reveal a hidden pop-up gift card holder. 








The second card has a center fold that steps up above the rest of the card.









The last two cards are made using the new "chantilly" paper collection.

The first of these cards is an easel card which stands up to display the gorgeous cover with 3-d flowers.

The second of these cards has a center shape that flips when the card is opened to reveal the back side of the rectangle shape.

Pics coming soon...

Later Sk8r Layout

Check out my latest layout for our upcoming March Scrappin' Workshop...

This layout was made using the following CTMH Supplies:

• Later Skater Paper Pack (X7167B)
• Cardstock & Exclusive Inks: Lagoon, Pear, Outdoor Denim, and Slate
• Spinner (3 pack) (Z1832)
• Wheel of life Stamp (D1545)
• In Gear Stamp (B1415)
• Fast and Furious Stamp (D1541)
• Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge (Z1686)

Here's a closer look at the features of this layout...

Let's start with the first page which showcases 2-4x6 photo's and a third 3x3 photo. The gears were cut using the cricut cartridge and the race car stamped with the fast and furious stamp set.





Moving on to the geared up spinner made with the new spinner from CTMH along with the wheel of life stamp set. I love how the paper behind the spinner matches up perfectly.







The coordinating layout fits 1-5x7 photo along with 3-3x3 photo's.  The decortative gears were again cut with the CTMH cricut cartridge and stamped with the in gear stamp set. 


The pick-up truck which i love was stamped from the fast and furious stamp set once again.




Hope you can join us on March 7th to make this geared up layout. 
Join the event on facebook by March 4th.
