Mother in-laws finished gift, and a sneak peak at Chantilly Paper

Well my mother in-law's birthday is tomorrow, so I thought I had better finish her gift today.  My last post showed the Pemberley Monogram Stationary, so I thought I should make a box to put her cards in.  What is more simple than using the Artiste Cartridge and cutting a magazine style holder. So here is the finished product.



I also wanted to use my new Chantilly Paper from our New Idea Book, so here is a little sneak peak of that paper line and a birthday card for my mother in law. 


If you like these projects and would like to learn how to make these or other projects you've seen on my blog you can contact me via email, or if you want to purchase any of our new products you can shop on my website starting February 1st.


My monogram stationary design is scraplifted from Lisa Stenz!  Not sure if my measurements are the same as I was judging from the pictures.

Monogram stationary Card Class = Mother in-law's Birthday Gift

So last night I taught at my card club, and we made some monogram stationary.  We used the retiring Pemberley and La Belle Vie which is also retiring.  I love the Pemberley and I'm sorry to see it leave, but we need to make room for some exciting new paper.  

My mother in-law loves homemade gifts, so I thought I would make her a set of the monogram stationary, bonus, we have the same last name.

Here is my take on monogram stationary:





If you would like to make your own set of monogram stationary, contact me via my email  to select your paper choice, initial stamp and ink pad of your choice and I will precut your monogram stationary or you can place an order on my website and make your own version.

January 15/13 Blog Hop - Consultant's Choice


Welcome to the first Blog Hop of 2013. Our January Hop is featuring a “Consultants Choice”, so each consultant has a unique project to share with you. I hope that you will take the time to leave comments on our posts, as we love to get feedback from our viewers....whether it was something that you really liked or some new technique that was used that you would like to learn how to do....by leaving us comments, we get to hear what you like, and what you want to see. Thank you… now on to our hop! 

If you have just hopped onto my blog, you can start here as this is a circular hop, as I am the first post for this blog hop you are already in the right place; but if you came from Candra's Blog Paper Dragonfleur  then you have found yourself at the beginning of the hop.



For my project, I used Avonlea paper, which is in the current Idea Book and will appear in our New 2013 Spring/Summer Idea Book. I wanted to try making the Sphere that appears in our Artiste Cricut Cartridge. It's found on page 57 with instructions appearing on page 35 of the Assembly Instruction manual. To make the sphere you need to cut 20 circles at 1", and the cricut makes the makes to fold. Before folding my circles, I inked all the edges and distressed the entire circle with chocolate ink. Then using Liquid Glass and following the insructions put my sphere together. I wanted to add some ribbon so that I could hang it, but due to a trip to emergency, I really didn't have it in me today to finish. (I'm okay, just need some rest!)

Your next stop on the Cross Canada Hop is Darla of Caution: Crafting is Contagious.

 If you get lost along the way, you can come back here to see the complete list of blogs.


Thanks for hopping along with us - we hope we were able to inspire you to create your own projects using some of the designs and paper seen along the way. Join us again in February when we will be featuring a 2 page layout.
