Safe Travels Card - SSS September CKOM

Hi everyone!

Here is a card I did with the SSS card kit of the month for September.

For the card I used Recollections white card stock.  It did start out at an A2 size card but when I was colouring the little car black it had dropped on the edge of the card smearing some black ink on it so I cut it down so it's more like 5 1/4 x 4 1/4 but I think it still looks ok.  I used Hero Arts shadow inks, pale tomato, butter bar and tide pool.  I cut out a circle with my MS circle cutter (which I cut my finger on the first time I started this card!) at 1 1/2 in then I used my Tombow mono to adhere the the car.

Hope you enjoyed the card for today.

Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks for all you do - card.

Hello again!

Wow!  Three posts in the same morning!!!  Thank goodness for holidays and a cloudy day!

Here is a card I made for one of the ladies in my church...shhhh I haven't given her the card yet!  ; )

I used Recollections kraft card stock and the SSS All seasons tree die.  I love this die but it is a labour of love as I had to take about two days to figure our a shim so that it would cut out all the little leaves but I finally got it and I love it.  I cut the tree out of three different colours of card stock and paper pieced them on to make it like a fall tree.  Totally worth it, don't you think?

I used the SSS stamp set "Inside and Out Sayings" designed my Kristina Werner.  I didn't show the inside of this card and I wrote a personal message but I love the sentiments the stamp set comes with.

I stamped the sentiment with CTMH Cocoa ink.

Hope you enjoyed the card as I enjoyed making it.

Thanks for stopping by and see you soon.

It's about to get wild around here - card.

Good morning everyone!

Happy Labour day!  I hope you are all enjoying a day off and for those who don't get the day off I hope you have a good day at work.


For today's card I did a smaller card with one of the new stamps sets from CTMH called "Wild Wonders"C1558 and it's a C size stamp set for $13.95. This also coordinates with the new CTMH Artbooking Cricut Cartridge (Z1906)with is just AMAZING!!!

I used Topiary and Cocoa ink and I cut out the cute little monkey and popped him up.

Many thanks!

Hi again!

I'm back with a card this time.  I did this as a thank you card for my daughter's soccer coaches.

I used the Home Sweet Home stamp set from Lawn Fawn and I coloured in the images with copics.   

I used CTMH daisy white card stock along with Recollections teal colour paper (Sorry it came in a pack with 3 other colours and I can't find the sleeve for the name).

I stamped the little red bird directly onto the card stock first and then again on a scrap piece, colour it in and then cut it out and popped it up on foam tape (Z1151).  This way I didn't have to worry about cutting out the tiny little feet!

Thanks for stopping by, see you soon!

Happiness enclosed!

Hi everyone!

This is the first card I made when I received my SSS CKOM Happiness inclosed.  I absolutely love the sentiments in this set as well as everything else.  

I used a CTMH die cut card and the patterned paper that the envelope is on is from another SSS CKOM.  The little hearth I punched out from the MS heart punch that has the different sizes and I used Momento tuxedo black ink.

Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!

You make...everyday amazing card

Hi everyone,

Here is a card I did just after I watched the video from Kristina Werner for SSS.

I am very pleased with how it turned out.  I had finished the card without the lines framing embellishments and I thought of adding dash lines but then thought of just a hand drawn line.  I thought about it for a while as I didn't want to go that one step too far but I am super glad I did because I think it just made it that much nicer.

YOU MAKE...everyday amazing!

About the card,  I used a die cut card from CTMH and cut it down because I just couldn't make it work with what I had in mind so I cut the card down to about 3x4 and it makes the perfect size for this card.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Thanks for stopping by!

Find your happy!

SCC2 Spolight on You 3

Hello everyone,

                 On Saturday's during the Summer Card Camp 2 they would do a spotlight on a few cards that caught their eyes throughout the week.

Here are the ones they had;

I want to thank everyone who dropped by my blog to have a look at my cards and for all of those who took the time to write something nice.

SCC2 Week 3 Day 5 the finally!

Hello everyone,

Well today marks the last day of class!  There is going to be a rap up on Monday to let us know who the winners of the giveaways are (fingers crossed!).


Here is my card for the last and final day  W3 D5!

As all other Fridays have gone we have been challenged with more colour combos as well as some great videos of some wonderful cards.

Here I used Recollections black, grey and white card stock.  The white was used to stamp my image.

I used the July SSS CKOM stamp set designed by Kristina Werner.  This card is also based on her card for today's class.

I used white daisy embossing powder from CTMH and a white gel pen for the lines around the card.

I would like to thank the Online Card Classes for a wonderful 3 weeks and I am sad to see it end.  I am blessed to have seen so many creative card makers and have truly been inspired from all of their creations!  

Thank you for your support and visiting my blog along with way!

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!

SCC2 Week 3 Day 3

Hello everyone,


Here is the card for today's class.

I used a stamp set that comes with our CTMH Artbooking cartridge as well as a Kelly Purkey set that came in one of my CKOM sets for father's day.

I used 2 MS butterfly punches with the different sizes and folded them in half to give them interest. 

The ink is a combination of Tim Holtz distress ink and CTMH inks.

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a blessed day,

Coralynn :)

SCC2 W3 D2

Hello Everyone!

Here I am again with today's card

Here I used our new Artbooking cartridge from CTMH that will be available August 1st and I used the pool colour card stock that I got in one of my CKOM from SSS.

I also used the cream colour card stock from the same kit.  The stamp is from our April SOTM and ink as well from CTMH.

I used the Martha Stewart multi heart punch again for this as they just fit over the other hearts.

Thanks for stopping by, have a blessed day!

SCC2 W3 D1

Hi everyone,

Here is my card for yesterday W3 D1.

I had a bit of trouble with the background stamps as the ones I have are distressed and don't give a crisp impression but I think it worked out.  

I used my Silhouette to cut out the "thanks" as I don't have a lot of dies but thought this worked out just fine.  For the hearts I used the Martha Stewart heart punch that has the different sized hearts.

I used the daisy white ink from CTMH and a Momento dye ink that I notice now does not show up so well in the photo.  

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a blessed day!

SCC2 Week 2 Day 3

SCC2 Week 2 Day 2

Hi everyone!

Thanks for stopping by! 

See you tomorrow!!

SCC2 Week 2 day 1

Hi everyone, well today starts the first day of week 2 for the Summer Card Camp 2.

We have great colour choices this week and I am excited to do a card for the round card sketch.

I used the card stock that came in one of the SSS CKOM (card kits of the month) as well as the pool card stock and the patterned paper and velum.  

I used my nestabilities circle dies to cut out the circles.  My set is small so the card base only measures 3.75 in.  

I heat embossed the "Thanks" with CTMH daisy white embossing powder.  It's more like a cream colour so for this week it worked out well as cream is one of our colours.

The twine is from CTMH and it came in one of the hostess reward packages.

I had fun doing this card.  It's just as fun seeing what everyone else in the class is doing as well.  Lots of talent and great inspiration.

Thanks for stopping by, can't wait for tomorrow!!

Bye for now!
