A Muse : Challenge 9 - Ribbon Fun!

Here are cards for the latest A Muse challenge where you have to use ribbon. I've used my stash of CTMH ribbon - some organdy and some designer in blush colour.

I've seen this card or variation of it a few times now and have been dying to try it.


This one is a spin off of a wrapped present. I like the simplicity of the design. Never mind that it's just bit of ribbon left over. Waste not right?

little birdie card

I made this b-day card for my husband's granny in the UK. I'm pretty sure it's not her type of card - but I love how it turned out I love the birds ( hero arts), the punches ( scallop giga and mega marvy clever), I love the stitching around the edges and the whole piece of it. The other stamnps that I used are Autumn Leaves, and A Muse. Cardstock is from a cheap Autumn Leaves paper pad that I got from Michaels - one of the foof a las ( I think).


I've also just finished a birthday album gift. I've recently really got into the whole Simple Scrapbooks idea...and so I decided that I would gift an essentially pre-made scrapbook album. My MIL is visiting her mom ( granny) in the UK, and it's her birthday so I thought I would share the whole scrapping thing with them and make it a "craft kit". I'm going to pack the album, instructions, journaling pen, adhesive for the pics - and hope that they go through some photos and create this " let me tell you about the time" scrapbook. How fun and easy can that be?


What I've used: all paper is from Autumn Leaves paper pad. I've used making memories tiny stickers ( luv them), American Crafts rubons ( not that fun to use - luv the font - too bad), stamps CTMH alphafont. Ink, CTMH. Ribbon - own stash.

I totally lifted the design and idea of this scrapbook from Becky Higgins and Lisa Bearnson's Our Family Scrapbooks. Makes it all simpler - and I'm so into that these days.

5 from 1

Here is what I will be sharing with my CTMH team tomorrow night. It's a 5 in 1 cutting instruction and design using the cute Purr.fect B1273 set. Using only 1 sheet of 12x12 pre-printed CS from the Adorable kit ( or from consultant bulk) - you can use this design to create, recreate these designs. I've also used, blush ribbon, blush, cocoa ink, some brads, some of the new Connection Club rewards embellies, silver wire, a sponge, stipple brush, scallop scissors and a few punches. Very quick and doable to whip this off.

Another A Muse Challenge

This time the challenge is for "silly" card, so after really thinking and thinking for days, here is what I have come up with. Happy it's raining cats and dogs day. Love all my new A Muse stamps too.

What I've used: Heidi Swapp tape, CS: SU bashful blue, ink: SU bashful blue, CTMH citrus leaf, Memories black ink. Giga Marvy scallop circle punch, fiskars tiny tiny tiny hole punch.

Here are some cards that I made for a friend's for an upcoming special birthday. I used a gorgeous paper from my stash, it's embossed, stamps: SU, ink is CTMH, ribbon is from an old chatterbox kit.

For this card, patterned paper is Heidi Grace, CS and ink is CTMH, stamp is CTMH, floral is Prima.

and one that was a quickie for a little boy's 2nds birthday. Stamps are Memory Box and fontwerks. Ink is CTMH.

There is more to come....I promise. I've been working on some cute cards and have a new big stash of A Muse and CTMH stamps, plus I might just get around to making my yoga mat bag soon.
