Close to my Heart :Picture My Life™ Beautiful You, Overlay Black, & Overlay Gold & Silver Cards

2016-03-27T13:31:00.000-07:00

I love CTMH's Picture My Life Cards but I use them to make cards and other paper crafts. Here I made an 8" X12" folding screen using white daisy card stock, scored every 3 inches and I used a random shaped square punch to make the legs at the bottom and another punch to add a little design at the top. Then taking the 6"x4" Picture My Life cards I cut them each in half and rounded the cut corners and used them as the back drop for each panel. I then took several of the black and gold clear overlay cards that are 3"x4" and using pop up tape I adhered them on two sections, I then hid the pop up tape with gold sequins and used a few stamped images in black and pomegranate ink to add a little extra dimension. this is an ideal project to add your favorite 2.5' x2.5 or even 3"x3" photos to. It also makes a great card and will fit into a standard large envelop (4.25X 9.5).

Close to my Heart: Charlotte Paper Packet

2016-03-24T22:05:00.003-07:00

Using a simple 8.25 X8.25 sheet of card stock, I created an little different picture card. In this project I used Peacock card stock, poppy card stock Charlotte paper, pear card stock and blush card stock. These are perfect to send Mom a mothers day card with a picture in it. I made these for Valentines day for a friend who took a picture of her daughter holding up a giant heart that said I love you. She then put the picture in the card and mailed them off to her family. They were a huge hit. so I though I would make some for Mothers day. i will make one for my Mom and Grandmother with pictures of the Grand dogs. To hold the folds together you can use CTMH's Velcro closures or simple tie a ribbon around it (much like a stack of saved letters).

I completed the pages using Artbooking cutouts from pages 40,54,5570 and 71. The biggest challenge was to get everything the correct size to fit on each page. All the pages are 5.5" x 6". I had to use the craft room so I only cut once. To make it interactive I did the small journal tags as flip pages also. I did not size the pictures to fit perfectly into the layouts as I wanted to use the paper clips with bows from the Laughing Lola assortment to add interest to each picture and page.

Other products used includes: Glitz Gel, Creepy Creatures stamp set,green/blue epoxy bubbles, small clear sparkle flourishes,Sarita textiles,mini Melody black accents, black and silver shimmer tape, gypsy ink, black ink, and hollyhock ink, base and bling pink and purple gems, pink glitter gems.
