December-Oh Deer HWBH





Welcome to the Hearts of the West Blog Hop!






This month we are featuring the Oh Deer Paper Pack !
If this is the first time joining us you will love it. It features Close to My Heart Consultants from all across Canada showing you their projects. The Hearts of the West team was founded by Nancy Klein.
This paper pack is from the new CTMH Holiday Expressions! There is lots of amazing paper inside.

If you came from Donna's Blog you're in the right place. This is a go around blog so you can start anywhere. Just in case, the full list is at the bottom of this post.
Grab a beverage and enjoy the hop!

My project is a decor piece and was inspired by a card I saw on Facebook. It was a card posted by Creative Expression, a Sue Wilson Shadow box die. I really liked the idea so I decided to design my own. The holes are not perfectly aligned and my cutting is far from perfect but I like the idea of it. It's 3 layers. The first one is cut from fern cardstock. The other two are White Daisy. I made them different sizes and poked holes with the Piercing and Embossing Tool(Z2046). I cut 4 spaces for the display on the last one and poked holes around each of them as well. Each layer is popped up by 3D foam tape(Z1151)
I used the Oh Deer paper(X7214B) and Complements(X7214C)

Hope you enjoyed my project. If you are interested in any of the items used in my project please click HERE.

I used some Whimsy paper for the skull and Oh Deer paper for the background. I used Cashmere ink for shading and edging the paper. Cranberry ink for the lace on the jar.The twine is Fern thick twine.

CTMH Featured Products Blog Hop-City Sidewalks

              Hello and welcome to our CTMH Featured Products 
Blog Hop. 

This week we are featuring City Sidewalks!

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 Janna's Blog you are in the right place.
Now let's get started!
Three of these are made with the PML cards of the City Sidewalks paper pack as well as the paper from the pack.

The first one is my favorite! I just love how the lights look. I colored some of them with the ShinHan markers and I used Cranberry and Black cardstock.



This one I used Willow and Cranberry cardstock.


This one I added zip strips to Lagoon paper and added some bitty sparkles.

This one I used a bow from the  City Sidewalks Complements to make the PML card look like a present and the stamp is from the Very Merry(D1694) stamp set.



This one, I cut out the house from the Flower Market cartridge and I think the letters are from the Artbooking cartridge. I had everything written down but in my craft room clutter I couldn't find the list!! The little house is part of the PML card. Some sparkles were added as well. The Cranberry paper was embossed with the Christmas lights embossing folder(Z4001)
