Key Ingredients Challenge - Note card set

This is an updated post with my entry for the Key Ingredients Feb Kit challenge!  A week or so ago I posted a set of four cards that I made for the challenge... and have since added a 5th & 6th card, plus a little cardstock box that I made as a holder!  So here are a few shots of the set of 6, the holder, and a few pictures of how the holder was put together:

The finished box size is 6"x4 3/4" and it is 1 1/4" deep.  I used a piece of the gold ribbon from the kit to tie it all together, and lined the bottom of the box with a piece of patterned paper.

I still have tons of product leftover - I'm looking forward to seeing the previews of the March kit in the next few days :o)

Inspired By #14

I used Laurel's green/polka dot inspiration at the Inspired By challenge this week, along with the Sweet Sunday Sketch to make my 6th and final card for my set of note cards for the Key Ingredients Feb Kit challenge (I'll show the whole set & the little holder I made in my next post!).

Patterned papers are Lost & Found - Rosy, My Mind's Eye; Ribbon, Pearls & cardstock - all Key Ingredients; Stamp set is Card Word Puzzle, CTMH; Ink is Tuxedo Black, Memento; Copic marker.

Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge #87

I'm a bright & bold cardmaker for the most part... but I really love the muted neutrals of these October Afternoon papers.  I knew that I had the perfect stamp set to go with them, too!  Here is what I made for this week's Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge:

Lucky You for Mojo Monday #231

Actually, it's Lucky Me!  I was a lucky winner during Verve's last release, and got the wonderful Lucky You stamp set and matching dies, so I'm thrilled to be using it with this week's Mojo Monday sketch.  Here's what Lucky Me came up with:

Patterned papers are Wings & Wings Creative Basics; Cardstock is Topiary, Sweet Leaf, Black and Colonial White; Sweet Leaf grosgrain ribbon; Licorice Opaque Pearls - all CTMH; Stamp set is Lucky You, Verve; Sweet Scallop Tag Die & Shamrock set of dies, Verve.

Freshly Made Sketches #24

This week's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches is my kind of sketch!  Classic lines, and lots of room for interpretation!  I went back to some papers/stamps that I used for a card about a year ago, and really love.  I wanted my little sentiment to look like a hanging sign:

Patterned papers are Wings Creative Basics; Cardstock is Kraft, Vineyard Berry & Colonial White; Stamp sets are Bless This Nest & Twitterpated; Inks are Desert Sand, Vineyard Berry, Topiary & Juniper; Natural Hemp - all CTMH.

Mojo Monday #230

I dug into my February Key Ingredients kit to make a card for this week's Mojo Monday sketch.  I've been making a lot of square cards lately, so I decided to make mine just a standard A2 size:

Patterned papers are Lost & Found Rosy, My Mind's Eye; Cardstock is Black, Colonial White & Kraft, CTMH; Stamps are One of my Nicest Thoughts Plain Jane, and Bloom & Grow, Verve; Ink is Tuxedo Black, Memento and Olive, CTMH; Ribbon, pearls, flower & papers all Key Ingredients kit, Taylored Expressions.

First Birthday

Wow!  This just happens to be my 300th blog post... time flies when you're making cards?!  We have a small friend celebrating his birthday this weekend, so I had a great time making a 1st Birthday card this week... I don't get many opportunities to do young cards anymore.  This CTMH stamp set has been retired for a little while, but I still love it:

Patterned papers are Sidewalks, October Afternoon; Stamp set is Nursery Bash, CTMH; Cardstock is Juniper, Tulip & Colonial White, CTMH; Ink is Tuxedo Black, Memento; Copic Markers.
