Cut Above Card Kits

Howdy!
        I always find that a handmade card makes a world of difference in showing how sincere you are. So, when I find the time, I like to make large quantities of cards in one sitting so that I always have a homemade card handy. 

        Close to My Heart has some really great card kits that help make this possible for my busy schedule! This go around I used the Cut Above Thank You Card Kit, but I added my own little flair…take a look below and tell me what you think!


        The greatest thing about the Cut Above kits is there is already a basic guideline created for you, but you have the option to make it your own! 

        With this specific kit I added a small piece of white card stock (2"x1 3/4") and distressed the edges with my Close to My Heart edge distresser  and then inked the torn sides with my Lagoon or Pear ink pad

        The adhesive I used for this project was Close to My Heart Bonding Memories Glue, I recommend this adhesive due to its durability and its user friendly application. This is also a "two-way" glue, which allows me to either use it as a permanent adhesive <OR> I can put a thin layer of it on a sheet of card stock or a Cricut mat, let it air dry and now its sticky like a post-it note!!

        Last but not least the stamp set that I used to create this unique card was Casual Expressions D1525, it is an all around great stamp set for any sentiments card. 

I hope you enjoyed my spin on the Cut Above Thank You Card Kit!

My "Workshop"

     Howdy! 

          As some of you may have already figured out, I am a college student. With this the assumption is that I do not have a real space for my crafting other than a small corner of a desk or a small container in my room. 

          Well I am proud to show y'all how I turned my boring desk into my Creation Station!!! I have plenty of space, my little Ottlite, a cricut expressions, comfy desk chair, and even a curtain backdrop! This is definitely a step up from my small cabinet in my dorm room, LOL! Hope y'all enjoy my little craft makeover.
