Memorial Day Sale Cardmaking Workshop Kits

Happy Saturday! The CTMH Memorial Day Sale is going strong and already, just about 24 hours have passed, and some items have sold out.

Some of the items that are still available are cardmaking workshop kit. Specifically the Isabella Workshop (G1235), Tutti Frutti Workshop (G1256), Sweet Safari Workshop (G1224), and Eat Play Love Workshop (G1228).

If you hesitate to purchase the cardmaking workshops because you do not want to create four identical cards, I want to share some of my completed cards with you to show that you can change them a little, or, if you have been following my Hey Handsome posts (project 1, project 2, project 3, and project 4 will be available on Monday), you can change them up quite a bit by changing colors, but using the same pattern.

When creating the Isabella Cardmaking Workshop Kit (G1235) workshop I kept the changes fairly simple by only changing the greetings stamped on each card. Unfortunately it has been many months since I created the cards and misplaced the list of stamp sets I used. I remember I used the Isabella—Cardmaking Stamp + Thin Cuts (Z3969) set on some cards and kept the stamp sets from the Craft with Heart™ Cardmaking Kit close by when creating with this kit, but I encourage you to shop your stash when creating with the Cardmaking Workshop Kits.

I used the Tutti Frutti Cardmaking Workshop Kit (G1256) when I was creating invitations for my mother to use for a class reunion, so I did not worry about duplicate cards, but I make a few minor changes to the cards.

When I first shared the Tutti Frutti Project 1 cards, I share some notes about how I changed to centers of the cards to (soften the color) on this post.

Photos of the Tutti Frutti Project 2 cards were posted about a year ago when the workshop was in the current CTMH catalog. I used the lighter yellow on this card too. Some notes about the changes I made to the cards here.

I like the look of the bow on the Project 3 card. The notes I posted when I shared the cards about a year ago can be found here.

The Project 4 cards were very easy to change from a birthday card to an invitation. I had a little scrap of Lemonade, so I decided to see how a card would look with Flamingo and Lemonade banners. I like it. I shared the Project 4 cards, along with a card I created from the Cardmaking Workshop Kit scraps (a card from Make It From You Heart Volume 2 (9042 - retired)), here.

I enjoyed creating with the whimsical characters in the Sweet Safari Cardmaking Workshop Kit (G1224). Unfortunately in my collection of unorganized photos I am unable to find photos of all of the Sweet Safari cards I created. Luckily I was able to find a few cards that I shared in 2021.

If you are concerned about how to line up the squares, please visit the post when I previously shared the Sweet Safari cards. There I posted a pattern that I created in Cricut Design Space. I printed the pattern and used a light pad (box) to aid with aligning the elements on the card.

I also used the cute monkey to create a cute Valentine.

Details of the card can be found here.

Unfortunately the Eat Play Love Workshop (G1228) sits in my stack of unfinished projects. I have too many ideas and projects and not enough time. I suspect that I am in good company.

I hope this post helps you see the Cardmaking Workshop Kits in a fresh way. Enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend.
