I used a stencil to make the curves in the green leaf"lawn" and cut it out. I took the bird on a wire PML card from the paper pack and fussy cut some of the birds. I put a slit in the wing of the large bird so I could tuck the umbrella in. I tucked all these behind the "lawn".

I popped up the larger flowers and one of the bumblebees for dimension.

Birthday wishes is from the Spring Critters stamp set.

CTMH Featured Products Blog Hop Embossing Folders

CTMH Featured Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to our CTMH Featured Products Blog Hop. This week our featured

product is (Embossing Folders).

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 start at the beginning

with Annette  http://littlecropshop.blogspot.ca/2016/03/ctmh-featured-products-blog-hop.html

If you came here from  Catherine    http://catscrapbooking.com/2016/03/02/technique-blog-hop-embossing-folders/you are in the right place.

Close to My Heart now has 15 Embossing Folders. Many great designs. These are just a few.

 



Now on to my project:
My project is a 2 page layout. I started with one page and decided to do two but I don't think they really go together other than they are from the same paper pack. I don't know, just me maybe.
Anyway, this is a layout for our very first grand baby who will be arriving in the next few weeks. We are very excited.
I used the Georgie paper pack to make a soft baby layout with the Georgia Complements as well.
I used the 3 embossing folders that I have to give some texture to the pages.
Page 1

I used the recipe from p. 122 in the Annual Inspirations for my inspiration. I used Champagne, Whisper and Crystal Blue cardstock. The overlay in Whisper is from Artbooking.
Sweet Little Boy is from a Cricut subscription with my Explore. Welcome is an Artbooking Font, I think. I'm not really sure how to figure out the fonts for my CTMH cartridges on Explore.
Little One is from Artbooking. The little buttons are popped up with 3D tape.

Page 2

I used the same colors of cardstock as in the first page. I filled in some of the spaces in the overlay from Artbooking with the colors of cardstock and the paper pack. I used 2 of the embossing folders for this one. Using one for the border for the photo. The buttons from the complements are popped up with 3D tape as well.
I used the zip strip to kind of join the two pages together.

 Grab a beverage and enjoy the hop!

This months challenge is the Penelope paper pack brought to you by Seasonal Expressions 1.

This is what you get with the Artistry collection!

Here's my project-

This project is my take on a card from the card workshop from Christine Adams. It's a 5X7  Thank You card. I cut out the mason jar with my OLD Cricut Expressions 2 and the sunshine window and flowers are cut out from my NEW Cricut Explore Air!! Its an amazing machine. 

The patterns are cut from the new Close to My Heart Artistry cartridge.

I used Crystal Blue cardstock for the base of the card. I used the polka dot pattern piece of Penelope paper for the next layer. I cut out 2 sunshine windows(that's what I call them). Pg. 42 in the Artistry booklet. One is in the Crystal Blue and the other in Honey card stock. I removed the frame from the Honey and placed it over the Crystal blue, hoping it would look like sunshine through a window??

The jar and flowers were cut from the Artistry cartridge as well, pg. 2. They were cut from the Penelope paper pack as well. I edged the jar and flowers in coordinating colors. The jar and some of the flowers are popped up with 3D foam tape. I used Pixie Thick Twine for around the top of the jar after I untwisted it into 2 separate pieces.

I stamped Thanks a bunch from the stamp set C1638, Spring Critters, onto a tag from the Penelope Complements and then attached it to some White Daisy cardstock and cut a frame around it. I attached it to the jar with 3D foam tape. The little butterfly is also from the Penelope Complements. Its a sticker so I stuck it to my hand a few times to unstick it a bit so I could make the wings bend out to look like its 3D.

Hope you enjoyed my project. If you are interested in any of the items used in my project please go to Close to My Heart and use my OBA for ordering. http://corinnamurphy.ctmh.com

CTMH Featured Products blog hop base and bling 2016

CTMH Featured Products Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to our CTMH Featured Products Blog Hop. This week our featured
product is (base and bling).

If you have just joined us you can start here and continue on. This is a circular hop. 

If you came here from http://littlecropshop.blogspot.com/2016/02/base-and-bling-creations-for-ctmh.html
 you are in the right place.

Now on to my project:
This is my rendition of a suncatcher.
I used 2 oval glass covers. I took 2 heart stickers from the Georgia complements and matched them up and stuck them to the inside of the glass covers. I glued them together with Liquid glass. I then took some glacier twine and separated it so I could use a single strand which I glued, with liquid glass, around the outside of the glass covers. I added a ribbon and rhinestone charm and a clear sparkle is attached to give it some bling.

This project was a gift I gave at Christmas. This project was inspired from another consultant who participated in a chinese gift exchange with a group of CTMH consultants.I used the retired base and bling with a Holiday style sheet and the retired Christmas charms. The 2 square pendants were glued together opposite to each other so the charms could be hung from the bottom. I added a green ribbon to give it a pop of color.

CTMH Featured Blog Hop Gold and Silver Sequins

 CTMH Featured Products Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to our CTMH Featured Products Blog Hop. This week our featured
product is (Gold and Silver sequins).

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 start at the beginning with Kirsten Jade - http://scrapbookingwithkirstenjade.blogspot.com/2016/02/featured-products-blog-hop-gold-silver.html


If you came here from   http://inkyheartspapercrafting.blogspot.com/2016/02/featured-product-blog-hop-sequins.html you are in the right place.

Now on to my project:
This is a Thank you card. I used a white daisy card base. I cut a 1/4' smaller piece of watercolor paper and saturated it with water. I added yellow, orange, and brown water color paints and randomly added them to the paper and then I used a crumpled paper towel to dab around the paper until I got the look I wanted. I placed random sizes of gold and silver sequins around the paper. The arrow and Thank you are from Have a Happy Day, D1616 which I do believe is retired. Saddle ink was for the arrow and random dots on the card. Thank you was Tuxedo black, Memento luxe.

I used a card base in White Daisy. I stamped a flourish from Love Life D1482 with Versamark and used Ranger Superfine Embossing powder. I used a sponge and Sorbet ink to make the flourish stand out. I layered different pieces of the Charlotte paper with some Complements and the gold heart is a Treasured Puffie.The whisper heart piece is from a strip off of one of the paper pack pieces. All the pieces were edged in Sorbet.

CTMH Featured Products Blog Hop Puffies

Hello and welcome to our CTMH Featured Products Blog Hop. This week our featured

Scrapbooking with Kirsten Jade - http://scrapbookingwithkirstenjade.blogspot.com/2016/01/featured-products-blog-hop-puffies.html


If you came here from ( http://inkyheartspapercrafting.blogspot.com/2016/01/featured-product-blog-hop-puffies.html) you are in the right place.

Now on to my project:

This is a birthday card. 5X7 inches. The cardstock is Pixie, I used watercolor paper and used multiple blues and pinks to get the look I have. I stamped the Unicorn from Unicorn Dreams which is a retired hostess reward. I used Playful puffies and in while supplies last on my OBA  I used the Junebug puffies. The Happy Birthday is from a retired stamp set. They were both stamped with Pixie ink.
Note: I still struggle with double stamping. I just cant seem to get the stamp in the right place no matter how hard I try so I bought a MISTI(not a CTMH product)
It is an awesome tool and I can double or stamp as many times as I want.
