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!

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!)

It is spring break in Michigan, but it looks like we are heading into Christmas! With the kids home and too many projects to be done, I have not found much crafting time. And, the crafting time I did find I can’t post the photos yet as they are projects for my upcoming craft retreat. Don’t want to post any spoilers.
So, I will leave you with enticement of some new artwork, and reassurance that I am finding more of my studio table so I’ll have loads of future artwork to share with you.
Happy Crafting!
Yes I have an electronic embossing machine. I love it. I use it often. That being said, I have not once used a die in my machine. My plates are clear without blemish, or should I say my plates were clear. . . Please pause for a moment of silence.
Thank you.
Now that I have come to terms with the marring of my once pristine plates I can tell you about the new Thin Cuts that Close to my heart released!
There are four designs of Thin Cuts that correspond to four stamp sets.
My Anchor Thin Cuts Z3202Stuck on You Thin Cuts Z3200
Spring Critters Thin Cuts Z3207
Springtime Wishes Thin Cuts Z3201
So, you see how many different dies you get with each set. The leaves from Springtime Wishes have already gotten used many, many times. Oh, did I mention the price? Each is only $13.95. That seems great to me.
So, want to see the stamp sets that correspond to these dies? Me too!
My Anchor Stamp Set – C1642 (13.95)
Spring Critters Stamp Set – C1638 ($13.95)
Springtime Wishes Stamp Set – C1641 ($13.95)
Stuck on You Stamp Set – C1643 ($13.95)
I just love all the sentiments and fun puns CTMH has included with these sets. Make putting together a quick card easy and fun.
Consultants were invited to a workshop your way event on Dec 5th. I was able to attend thanks to two CTMH sisters who toted me and my stuff around and allowed me to continue to heal after surgery and join in the fun. We did the Charlotte Workshop your way (WYW). It was fun. The cards from the WYW use the Springtime Wishes sets and having the Thin Cuts made them oh so easy!
So, for me, I started hesitantly down this new road of crafting (I have a gypsy and cricut after all). Now that I’ve made the first step(s), I am loving die cutting and the thin cuts that are paired perfectly with the stamps. If you try them, I would love to hear your opinion!
Happy Crafting!
