I needed a card that my customers could quickly replicate for an upcoming buffet, so I paired together Fern and Ruby (my favourite Christmas colour combination) with a banner cut from the new Cricut cartridge, City Sidewalks.



I added a touch of shimmer by using the Shimmer Brush on the tops of each present for some extra interest.

T is for This and That

Welcome to the Everything ABC's Blog Hop!

For this hop we will be featuring the letter T. This may be the name of a paper, a stamp set or an embellishment. Whatever the crafter has chosen as their T element will be featured in their post.

If you came from Catherine then you're on the right track!

For my T project, I decided to use the new This & That stamp set.

I used some of the titles and sentiments on this layout of my son with one of his good friends, as they are just so adorable together!

I used one of the 'this' stamps with the 'is so stinkin' cute' and stamped this paired title in White Daisy ink directly on to the black Jeepers Creepers paper.



I used the Jeepers Creepers paper packet for the main background paired with some leftover embellishments from the Florence Complements. I really liked the Peacock and Tangerine colours together, so I added some stamped hearts in Peacock ink using the Charming Cascades stamp set.

Your next stop on our Everything ABC'S blog Hop is Darlys.

Jeepers Creepers Featured Product Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to our CTMH Featured Products Blog Hop. This week our featured product is the Jeepers Creepers Paper Packet.

If you have just joined us you can start here and continue on, as this is a circular hop or if you get lost along the way you can find the complete list at the end of this post.   If you came here from Annette you are in the right place. Now on to my project.

I decided to make a card featuring the Jeepers Creepers Paper Packet and the adorable matching Monstrous Halloween stamp set and thin cuts.

This card features the thin cut and stamped monsters stamped in Pansy, Lagoon and Willow. I added the Monster paper in the background and also added some circles cut from Willow cardstock to break up the pattern. The spiral border was a stamp from the Monstrous Halloween stamp set, and the sentiment is from the retired Lifting Spirits stamp set.

Holiday Expressions New Product Blog Hop

Welcome to our Holiday Expressions New Product Blog Hop!

If you have come here from Gina's Blog, you are on the right path! The blog hop is a great big circle, so you can start here and work your way all around.  If you get lost along the way, you’ll find the complete list of participating consultants on Melinda’s Blog. 

This month we have over 25 Close To My Heart Consultants sharing their creations using this month's newly released products on their blogs. This is simple to do - just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move to the next one! Here we go!

I wanted to create a layout for a special family photo- and as soon as I saw the 'blessed' stickers in the Swan Lake Complements I knew that I wanted to use it as my title.

This layout uses the Complements as well as the new Swan Lake Paper Packet for all the patterned papers and the journal box.

The Swan Lake Complements have the most amazing gold foil detail! I also love the colour combination of Black, Poppy and Glacier.

I used the Flower Market Cartridge to cut some flowers, which were then stamped with the new coordinating With You stamp set. These particular flowers used a Honey Background and were then stamped with Sunset ink over top. The sentiment under Blessed is also from this stamp set, which I stamped in Peacock ink.

The banner was made using pieces of the paper packet. I cut more flowers from the cartridge to match the stamp set and used 1st and 2nd generation stamping in Poppy and Peacock to create the base and shade image. I strung the flowers together with White Twine and used Blue Glitter Dots in the centre of the blue flowers.

I can't wait to put the photo of my in laws surrounded by their grandchildren on here!

A simple Hello

I have playing with the scraps from my Swan Lake Paper Packet, and thought that i could use some of the leftover PML cards as card bases.



I am playing along this week with Just Add Ink- Just Add P. I used a Picture My Life card as the background of the card, which already had the word hello printed on it as well as some pretty leaves.

I am also joining in with this week's Color Throwdown colours, as the black and gold were already paired together in the beautiful shimmer ribbon and I added a blue flower from the With You stamp set.

This card came together very quickly from some scraps I had left on my craft table!
