Everyday Moments Lace Card Reimagined
The Everyday Moments Cricut collection by CTMH is overflowing with creativity! All the projects, like this lace card, are beautiful as is. However, I just can’t help myself and have to see what else I can create with the individual components for each project. Pictured above is the 5×7 Lace Card created exactly as designed. I used Eggplant and Wisteria cardstock on a white card base. There are also several sentiments to choose from to personalize your card. Now let us see what else we can do!
I recommend watching the video to see these cards come together and learn some tips and tricks. Be sure to check out the YouTube tutorial below.
This whimsical card was created with the Fairytale Magic stamp set. I used Canary, Wisteria, Ballerina and Glacier ink for this cheerfully colored background. It was so quick and easy to do! Add the lace overlay and finish it off with a stitched rectangle frame.
The Chickadee card below is quite possibly my favorite of the bunch. It was inspired by my garden. Gorgeous yellow roses reach their way up a white trellis while the winged garden creatures flutter to and fro filling the air with birdsong. What’s not to love? Using the same lace overlay cut from White Daisy, I adhered it to my card panel. You can then embellish with roses from the Yesterday & Today cardmaking stamp and adorn with this cute Chickadee. I colored him with my Spectrum Noir Triblend Markers in Grey-brown and Golden-Brown. My sentiment is from the Say it In Style stamp set.
This unique card was created by using the lace overlay as a stencil and applying texture paste. It makes for a beautifully elegant card destined to congratulate the new couple on their wedding day. To finish off the center I added a heart cut from vellum with the Stitched Heart Die. The sentiment, already cut from my first project, was perfect to center on the card front. I added a few pearls to go along with my wedding theme and this card is finished!
Below is another card similar to the first but dressed up with French Vanilla and Gold Foil. The foil paper really makes a statement don’t you think? Imagine centering big bold numbers to represent the anniversary, 25 or maybe 50!

Seas The Day!
Every year we escape to the coast. We are fortunate to only live a few hours away so we can make it a day trip. Growing up my parents took us annually to visit Fitzgerald Marine Reserve to explore the tide pools. The ocean always mesmerized me. I love everything about it, the sounds, the salty air, the refreshingly cool breeze and even the seagulls! I could explore the tiny underwater world captured in tide pool for hours. If you have pictures from an ocean or beach adventure, this Seas The Day collection is perfect to tell the story behind those pictures! Check out the process video below to see it come together
To create the embellishment cluster above, I combined elements from the sticker sheet, chipboard die-cuts and fussy cut pieces from the patterned paper. Below, I used leftover scraps and trimmed them into little pennants. Having them create a gently swooping banner helps to break up the hard lines of the squares and rectangles. Tiny enamel dots finish the look and add interest.
There are so many different ways you can add this kit to your crafty stash. There is an entire scrapbooking workshop, a Seas The Day card kit and of course, all the pieces individually. Below you can see everything I incorporated into my layout.
Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you have found some inspiration and new ideas to try. Happy crafting my friends!
