Valentines Cards for Stores

I have been working on some fun cards for Valentines Day to put in some local stores!
I used a stamp of the month for these from CTMH, how cute are they!

If you remember the stamp set it has some pretty hearts and a "ticket" that says Over the Moon in Love with you". Now I wanted to have more "tickets" that said the other things so I used a post-it to mask the inside text to just stamp the outside lines of the "ticket". I think it turned out super cute!

Here is the stamp set:

I love how the hearts, ticket and circle shape can be cut out using the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge. It made the projects so much easier. Now if I could have a machine to ink the edges.....

Happy Crafting!

My Etsy Shop- Consultant Cards

I have decided to put a shop on Etsy.com! I am listing cards that can be used for consultants to give to their customers!
So many people do home consulting businesses and the best way to show great customer service and to show that you appreciate them is to give them a thank you card! It's such a simple thing and so often overlooked.
I have done parties and I always appreciate when the hostess does that something extra.
If you are wanting to order some of these super cute cards or customize them for your business just send me a message! To get to the etsy shop, click on this link!

These cards were made for a Tracy doing Thirty-One Gifts. Handbags, totes, purses and organizational items! They are all soooo fun! How cute are these!

Baby Card Trio

I find myself going through spurts of creative styles. Do you?
I got some super cute stickers from Martha Stewart that just screamed super cute baby cards! I made up some sets of 3 cards and will add them to my collection of cards to go into stores.
I used my Cricut to cut the scalloped circles and everything else is just straight lines and edge ink distressed. I think they turned out really cute! These cards are about 3x5 and have a perfect sized envelope too!
I plan to put them up for sale on my website too at ahadesignsonline.com if you are interested!

Right now I am doing other cards too for some stores that I have product in. I'm also getting ready to go to some other stores to expand... I have some fun dog and cat cards that are for a Pet Food store here in Gresham, OR;

some tea-themed cards for a tea shop in Sandy, OR called Chariteas. (how cute is that!) And I am doing this special wedding/shower invitation for a wedding show that Chariteas is doing. I think it turned out really cute!

And I am in Lillians Natural Market in Downtown Gresham too. I hope to get into some more shops this year and start my business off with a bang!!

Happy New Year Crafting!

Card Workshop Card

I have a fun card workshop coming up that I design the cards for and I made this super cute card for everyone to make too! It's a tri-fold card that is scored and cut so my ladies can breeze through their projects. All the paper is pre-cut ... how great is that!
Here's a photo of the card with the dimensions I did.

1) The cardstock starts at 5.5x12


3) Cut 1.5" in from each side from score mark to score mark (2 & 10)






2) Score at 2,4,8,10"2) Score at 2,4,8,10"

4) Fold at score marks in opposite directions as shown.

When you are all finished folding, use the card as a template to cut paper. It's that easy!
When it's all done it fits in a standard A2 envelope.

Super cute! What do you think!?

Spray Pen Unplugged

Spray Pen Technique
 This little video will show you exactly how to use the super cool spray pen that CTMH sells. It's true you can probably buy some spray pens that are already mixed and ready to spray but they won't match your CTMH colors exactly! Beware!
As the demonstrator says, cover your work surface well so you don't have any spray messes!





Happy crafting!
