Yes,  I am loving these insider guides.   This time it’s a throw back to one of my favorite paper packs, Seaside.   So,  without further ado. . .  Here is the Seaside Insider Guide seaside-cards. 

Once again I am using the Spring Time Wishes thin cuts and watercolor paints.   I was on a roll!   I said this in a recent post,  but the more I use the paints,  the more comfortable I am becoming with them.    I highly recommend just getting them out and playing with how to put color on the paper.

Card One:

Card Two:

As you can see,  I modified the cards to work with my paper.  I also didn’t want to take the time to find a shaped sentiment from the cricut.  I would have been easy enough,  but I was on borrowed time and my pillow was calling!

Happy Crafting!

Close to My Heart has created some great tools for consultants to use at gatherings or workshops.   One of those tools is Insider Guides.  These are templates for either a scrapbook layout or cards.  I have another one to share with you today.  It’s from the fall of 2015 and was originally used with White Pines paper.  Here is the White Pines Guide 1509-ci-workshop-white-pines-us_ca

I’ve been remiss in using some of the newest papers,  so I thought I would change that and broke out the fun Calypso Paper (gone the end of July 2016!)

Card Number one is a little deceiving.  The yellow and white striped paper is a full 4.25 x 5.5.   (Just like card 1 in the insider guide) I used the springtime wish thin cuts for all the great flowers.  I finally got out the watercolor paints and played with those too.  I feel like I am getting better every time I use them!

Card Number two uses the artfully sent cartridge (auto) and the spring wishes thincuts (the little flowers).  The stamp is from the June Stamp of the Month.

Happy Crafting!

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!
