So, Here is the last installment of the Urban Insider guide card leftovers from Club night. If you want to create your own cards from this guide, you can download it from here.
These use a combination of Bliss and Frosted bulk papers.
The next sets are from Roxie bulk.
So you can really see the versatility with the papers and the pattern.
Happy Crafting!
Well, This next set of cards comes from the insider guide Urban.
I am loving this guide for some quick cards that have some punch!
These samples use the bulk paper from Jubilee and a stamp set my Mom got me several years ago. (It has been unearthed in my household diet project. One of the few rubber stamps that survived the purge!)
You might notice that I trimmed down (or lost, whichever works for you) some of the pieces from this set. It gives the cards a completely different look and shows some versatility of these guides. Make the paper work for you and your stamps!
Happy Crafting!
Yay, I’m creating another post and four months haven’t gone by since the last one!
For those of you who missed the last post, I received a out of my comfort zone 6×6 paper stack from a friend. After avoiding it for months, I found this great set of patterns and created several cards. The photos below are my representation of the 2nd pattern’s cards. The first pattern cards can be seen here.
Pattern 2 Card 1
I mentioned in the last post that I was also able to use up several odds and end embellishments to free up room for storing new embellishments.

Pattern 2 Card 4
Love how these cards turned out, despite the fact the colors are outside my comfort zone. I do wish I would have taken photos of ALL the cards I created as some of my favorites where the ones using up the scraps!

Once a month a great group of ladies haul their crafting tools and supplies to the church and create some beautiful artwork. For the past several months the project I have provided comes from CTMH (close to my heart) Insider guides and their choice of bulk papers and cardstock from my stash. Each insider guide is designed for creating 10 cards. So my girls either pair up and split the set with a friend, or if no one else wanted the same paper, I got the other half of the set. So, the following few posts will be my use of those shared packs. The first set comes from the Urban Insider Guide. Urban_Creative_IG
This first set of cards use the For Always bulk paper. 
The stamp sets used are both older stamps of the month so they aren’t available, but I’m sure you can find something that will work for you! The last set of cards of were colored using the watercolor paints. (So much fun!)
Happy Crafting!
After a LONG absence, I hope to be able to do more regular postings. To start things off, I have a large number (around 90) photos of cards all edited and ready to be talked about and posted. So, as you know I am a CTMH (close to my heart) consultant, but not a purist. That being said, I very rarely buy paper other than CTMH, so this post is a rare bird indeed.
Background: A few friends and I travel about 6 hours to another friend’s house to craft for a LONG weekend once a year. Last year one of these friends gave everyone a 6×6 paper stack. The stack I got were not my go to colors, and not CTMH paper, so for several months the stack got moved from place to place in my studio taunting me. Finally I decided, something was going to happen to this paper stack and I consultant google & pinterest. I found these great patterns, and jumped right off the cliff. (http://kathrynscards.blogspot.com/2013/05/6×6-cutting-formula.html) What did I have to lose right. I wasn’t in love with the paper, so even if it was a disaster I was not going to be moving this stack around anymore, and I could always use the cards for fire starters right?
So, if you learn nothing else from this post, I hope you realize that sometimes great results can be accomplished when you step outside of your comfort zone. (In simple terms, I really like how these cards turned out.)
I made 2 sets from each of Kathryn’s patterns and used all the scraps for a few additional cards. Unfortunately I don’t have photos of every card as I mailed several out prior to my studio photo shoot! Fear not, I have photos of each card from the patterns.
Pattern 1 Card 1
Before I get too far into this post I want to mention that I am on a mission to use up embellishments so I can buy more without guilt and they will have a place to fit in my studio. On these cards I was able to use up lots of various embellishments and empty a few spots in my storage folder 🙂
Pattern 1 Card 2
Pattern 1 Card 3
Pattern 1 Card 4
I’m running out of time today, so I’ll post the photos for the second pattern in my next post!
Happy Crafting!
