Customizing a Workshop Your Way: Fresh Air Cards

Our Workshop Your Way Card kits are wonderful for making a dozen cards quickly.  However, they have only 2 designs!  Let's fix this! 

Take the Fresh Air card kit called the In My Heart Cardmaking Kit. 
You receive a stamp set, bronze sequins, 12 card bases & envelopes and plenty of cardstock and patterned paper to make a dozen cards.  (I actually made a 3rd design with my scraps). 


But I wanted a little more variety than these two designs. 

I grabbed Birthday Sparkles (retiring at the end of the month) and use that sentiment as well!  Now I have tons of variety!  I hear making masculine cards is hard for you all.  Guess what?  It doesn't have to be!  

This photo also shows a 3rd design!  Using Make It From Your Heart Vol 4, I found another card design that was simple and used up my scraps.  I did have to dig in my stash for 6 more card bases but I'm a cardmaker.  I always have card bases on hand.  

If you love extending your supplies and getting 50% more from your card kit, let me know!  When you purchase your WYW cardmaking kit from me, I'll send you the instructions to cut the materials for the 6 extra cards.  

Enjoy your cardmaking!  Have a great day!

Birthday Wishes with Stargazer

Hello friends,

Today's card is one of the first cards I made in January.  My cards, like my family vacation photos, often get lost on my phone.

This card was made using pattern #1 of the new Make It From Your Heart vol 4 card making guide.  This guide has 24 patterns and 48 examples!  Only 2 months after its release and I've created cards with more than half of the patterns.  They're that fun and easy to use!

I love this How To Book.  Most of the cards are simple to assemble, don't have a lot of pieces to cut out and/or loose when I'm cutting pieces for a workshop.  This card was designed with 5 banner pieces or scraps--Just.So.Simple!  I added the white piece at the top to pull it together and make it easier to stamp for a class.  

See the messy splotches on this card?  They are no mess!  Our Splash of Color stamp set makes messes on your project without making a mess on your desk!  It's so fun!

August Crafty Kit!

The top Sapphire blue card features a bit of our Magical Papers as well as our Grey & White enamel gems.

On the left is Florence with a brand new Thin Cut dies Hello & Thanks in Gold Glitter paper.  Glitter paper is a breeze to cut with our dies.  You're going to get "hello" pre-cut in your kit.  If you want the dies, you can add them on to your kit order below.
