Penelope Workshop Your Way



Four layouts, 8 total pages - 1 KIT!

 

Close to My Heart's new Workshops Your Way are fabulous!  The kit itself comes with everything you need (including downloadable cutting and assembly directions) to create these first 3 double-page layouts. 

With the remaining pieces, the included instructions show you how to create a Picture My Life Layout as well as 8 spring-themed cards.  However, I wanted to maximize the traditional scrapbooking with my kit, so I've created this BONUS layout by adding only 2 sheets of 12 x 12 white daisy cardstock to the original kit.  Cutting and assembly instructions for the Bonus layout will be sent to anyone purchasing their Penelope kit through my website.

Here are some close-ups of these adorable embellishments!  With this kit, you get a mix of stickers in bright fun colors, vellum die-cuts (with silver foil accents), silver glitter puffy stickers and a 3-pack of fun spring colored washi tape!  Even after all 4 layouts are complete, you still have some of these goodies leftover to use on other projects.

Everything ABCs Blog Hop - Letter E

Welcome to the Everything ABC's Blog Hop!

For this hop we will be featuring the letter "E". This may be the name of a paper, a stamp set or an embellishment. Whatever the crafter has chosen as their "E" element will be featured in their post.  If you came from Lauren Moore at CTMH Craftings, then you're on the right track!

I love embossing, so my first thought was to create a project with embossed images!  Somewhere along the way, my project turned into Easter cards...without any embossing!  The Artfully sent cricut cartridge has so many fun card options on it.  From the Easter selections, I created these two cards.

The Paper Fundamentals are so fun and playful!  The glossy tone-on-tone designs are a fantastic way to add subtle POP to your projects.  Shown here is the Sorbet hexagon paper.  You can also see the texture in the Flaxen extra thick twine used across the top of the card.

The Happy Easter card was cut twice - white for the card base and glacier for the overlay (trimmed to a small rectangle around the sentiment).  To add dimension, the overlay was popped up on 3-D Foam tape and aligned slightly to the left to give a shadow effect. 

Inside the card, I got a little carried away with these mini bunnies (also cut from the same key on the Artfully Sent cartridge).  The bunnies show the oppostie side of the Paper Fundamentals line (white design on color).  The sentiment comes from the stamp set included in the Artfully Sent package and was stamped in Whisper ink.

After tying the knot in the flaxen ribbon of the first card, I trimmed the ends off.  Looking at them on my desk, all I could think was "they look like grass."  That is how my second card came about!  Several varying lengths of flaxen twine were cut and the two ropes separated.  Each piece was attached to the bottom edge of a larger bunny.  To cover the base of the "grass," more flaxen twine was wrapped around the cardstock piece.  To compensate for the twine wrapped around the back, I popped that whole piece on 3-D Foam tape and mounted it on more Sorbet Paper Fundamentals.  I LOVE how this bunny turned out!

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you enjoyed my "E" creation.  Here is a list of Close to my Heart supplies used for this card:

March Parent & Me Workshop - Easter Bunny Bag & Card

It's hard to think that Easter will be here soon since we can't seem to get past winter here in Virginia!  Every time we think we may have seen the last of the snow for this season, the weathermen show more snow in the forecast! 

In an effort to wish Spring to come sooner, I started thinking about Easter and bunnies!  At the March Parent & Me workshop, the kids will be creating an adorable Easter Bunny treat bag and card. 

Here is a close-up of the elusive Easter Bunny escaping into the "bunny hole."  Children will have several options of spring-themed paper to choose for their background.  If you are planning to mail this card, a small scalloped circle can be exchanged for the pom-pom.

The back of the Bunny Bag is also decorated with a large white pom-pom tail.  At the conclusion of the workshop, each child will be given a little treat to put in his/her Bunny Bag.

The workshop will be held on Sunday, March 23rd at 2:00 pm.  Light refreshments will be provided. Space is limited, so purchase your kit today to reserve your spot!  The RSVP and payment deadline is March 16th.

The cost of the workshop is $6 for one bag and one card and is designed for children ages 5 & up along with their caregiver. Additional cards can be made for $2 each.
