July Joyful Stars Blog Hop!

Welcome to our monthly
Joyful Stars Blog Hop!!!!

We're excited to share our creativity with you using our favorite Close To My Heart products!  This blog hop is easy to do…just click on the link at the end of the post to go to the next creation!! 

If you have arrived from Elizabeth’s blog you are right on track. 

I thought I’d share with you a card box I created for one of my recent new downline!!  J I love to give something special to my new team members…and by creating this box, this gives them something they can use as a business tool to share with their friends too!! These boxes are so CUTE, and FUN to create…there are so many different ways to create them….and to use them!!

Take a look at the box…

Did you notice???  I only used ONE stamp set on this project!!!  I used my favorite background stamp set (again- LOL!) Universal Background for the script writing on the banner.
To create the flowers, I used our Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge, and cut these flowers in a variety of sizes!!
Aymee’s name was created with the Artiste Cricut cartridge and cut from our Black & Grey glitter paper.  I LOVE how you can cut ANY design with our Cricut cartridges from our glitter papers!! I think the glitter paper sticks to the Cricut mats better than our designer papers!
At the moment Close To My Heart carries 2 different sets of glitter paper.  Black & Grey and Brown & Tan.  They come in a pack of 3 sheets, but each sheet is a different shade/color.  BUT ----Stay tuned August 1 - we will also have GREEN glitter paper, just in time for the holidays!
Take a look at my use of the zip strip???  Do you see it? I LOVE zip strips and the little “extra” they add to each of our designer paper packs!
Here’s a close up to see some more detail of the box…
