"Think Outside The Card"

Happy Love Day CC2G Friends!

We have one last post to inspire you to "think outside of the card". Two of are amazing and talented design team members  created an alterable item and goodie treat box. Check 'em out!

Tiff not only created a beautiful card but she made an accompanying flower arrangement as well. I'm loving how she outlined the edges of the circles with the stickles.

Danni created two stunning treat holders with delicious candy to boot. I'm lovin' how she layered the butterflies and adhered them to the hearts.

Get inspired and happy crafting!

 

Valentine Kit Challenge

You all should have received your Valentine Kits by now. We hope you are creating wonderful cards to give to your loved ones in the next week.

You may have noticed the beautiful doily in your kit.. This month we challenged the team to use the doily on one of their designs and boy...did the team come through. Just check out some of their designs. 

DT Member Kristii and Guest DT Jennifer created the most amazing valentine gift bags. Talk about super creative.

Meet Our Valentine Kit Guest Designer

Give a warm welcome to our Valentine Kit

Guest Designer Jennifer Koss 

 

1.  Tell us a little about yourself. 

I am a mom of 2 active boys and have been married to my supportive hubby for 13 years. Art has been a part of my life as long as I can remember. I have been paper crafting for about 12 years. 

2. Where do you find your inspiration?

I find inspiration everywhere. Mostly my boys and from trends I see around me. 

3. What is your favorite dessert?

mmmm....dessert. If I had to pick a favorite it would be Texas sheet cake. 

4. If you could do anything without any consequences, what would it be?

This is a tough question. I think it would be fun to go on a shopping spree where I could buy anything without the consequence of spending the money. 

5. Three words that best describe your personality. 

Enthusiastic, Friendly, Dependable

We also asked Jenn to share her space with us. I just love being inspired by others crafty spaces. 

And here are a few of Jennifer's designs this month. 

Thank you Jenn for contributing your talent with us this month.   Visit Jenn's blog for more CupCards {to go} designs.

Five Product Challenge

• 1 patterned paper - your choice
• 1 Kaiser Craft rub-on sentiment
• 1 Fancy Pants Vintage Card
• 1 Ribbon or Trim - your choice

New Jan11 Kit Photo

Hi Everyone! I'm sending out a quick note to let you know I updated the kit photo. Some people were not able to see it and it was labeled 2010. Sorry about that...it has been updated and should be fine. Try F5 to refresh your screen if it's still giving you problems. Hopefully that will do the trick. I also wanted to let you know the Valentine Kit is very limited in numbers. So please purchase your kit right away before we sell out. We will not be having another Valentine themed kit this year. Once they're gone, they're gone!  Thanks so much!
