October Word Puzzle

Here is this month's workshop - I used the *NEW* Grace paper pack along with the October Word Puzzle, September SOTM Treasures, Fabric Finishes stamp set, and the Everyday Celebration stamp set - available only in the National Stamping Month card kit. Click here to see more on this kit. My workshop is going to be on Friday, September 25th, but if you're not able to come, don't worry - you can still complete the projects! If you purchase the Grace Workshop Kit that I am featuring this month, it includes the products needed plus the cutting guides and instructions for both the layouts AND the cards so you can create them on your own - how cool is that!

Click HERE for complete workshop details. The Grace Exclusive Workshop Kit that I am featuring this month is only $29.95 (retail value $33.85) and includes the Grace Level 2 paper pack, Beautiful Flourish stamp set, Rustic Edge Anchors, and a Workshop Guide. What a great deal! But there are also other pricing options for the workshop - ranging from $5 to $40.

Anyway, here are my creations - you can click on the pictures to view them larger.

12x12 Option - Those who select the Basic Option will only create one page - choose from the right or left page. Anyone who selects the Deluxe, Super Deluxe, Exclusive, or Exclusive Plus will also get the option to create both pages with paper left over!

Card Option - Those who select the Exclusive Workshop Options will get to make at least 6 cards - with lots of paper left over!

6x6 Option

Here are the layouts and cards exactly as they are created in the Workshop Guide - you can see that I changed mine a bit. I didn't get the Exclusive Workshop Kit this month, so I didn't use the Beautiful Flourish stamp set that comes in the kit on my samples.

Celebrate the Everyday

I had a chance last week to put together my 'Celebrate the Everyday' card kit - it's Close To My Heart's special for National Stamping Month, and let me tell you, it is my FAVORITE card kit that they have released yet! In the past couple of years, the card kits that they have had for NSM have come with the pre-cut pieces and I am ashamed to say that I have still not put those together ;-P But this kit came with full sheets of paper, which I LOVE! I especially love this paper and already have the pictures to go with it, so I saved one of each pattern and I'm going to create a page, so I'm not limited to just the cards!

***

With the kit you can create 16 cards - 2 each of 8 designs. In order to save some of this patterned paper for my page, I only cut enough pieces for one of each design. So I used the *NEW* Twitterpated paper to create my other 8 cards. I love that I'll be able to use this cutting guide over and over with any paper and any stamps that I want! The card bases come pre-cut and since I love the design so much, I traced it on the label insert (KWIM?) that came in the bag. These cards came in handy last week as I had 2 nephew birthdays and the 3 gals in my ward at church who all share my birthday, plus a couple of thank you cards I needed to send.

Anyway, enough jabber - here are the cards! Sorry I did get very good pictures of them - I was in a hurry before I mailed half of them off! This is a great kit and you can buy it for $39.95 OR you can get it for free if you purchase just $60 in stamp sets!
