Here we go!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We have some BEAUTIFUL, new papers in the NEW Seasonal Expressions 1 (SE1) book & today I chose to use the Make Waves paper collection in this card.  

Take a look....

I loved the color combo of the Make Waves paper collection, and chose to use this with TWO new stamp sets that are in the SE1 book too!!
  
I used the Gimme Some Sugar - Scrapbooking stamp set & the NEW Notes of Inspiration stamp....take a look at these FUN stamp sets!! 

 

My focus on creating this card was to use the NEW Thin Cuts- Basic Circle Tags.  Can you see where I used it on this card design? 

As I cut the Circle Tag from Bashful Glitter Paper...I realized I needed a circle mat for the inside of the circle to stamp the sentiment on.  Imagine MY DELIGHT when I learned that our Basic Circle Shape Thin Cuts fit PERFECTLY inside!! Yay!! 



 For my card design, I pulled out another BRAND NEW PRODUCT (one that I've been waiting to be released for a while!) ...the Make It From Your Heart, vol 4 CARDMAKING How-To-Book!! Wahoo!!  

I LOVE this new book & while there are fabulous card sketches inside - CTMH has made it even BETTER with the tips & techniques scattered throughout this book too!!  It's perfect! :) 

I used the Pansy Pigment ink, clear embossing powder & my heat tool  to make the wording "pop". :)  AND...do you see one more FUN, BEAUTIFUL, NEW product I used??

We now have a BASHFUL Shimmer Brush!!!!!  WAHOOOO!!!!

Notice the sparkle on the flower...and I colored the background of the word "Sparkly" with the Bashful Shimmer Brush too!! What FUN!!

Here is a list of ALL the products I used to create this fun card!

Joyful Stars Blog Hop - Chelsea Gardens WYW 4th layout

Welcome to our monthly hop!

We're excited to share our creativity with you using PRODUCTS

from Close To My Heart!!

Come on in and see what BEAUTIFUL projects my crafty friends have creating using the AMAZING products from Close To My Heart!!

 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 get lost along the way, CLICK HERE to see the list of this month’s hoppers! 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you have arrived from my friend, Joyce's blog you are right on track.

  Did you know that CTMH released a BRAND NEW Seasonal Expression mini-book on Jan 1, 2018?  

Oh my...it's FILLED with beautiful products!!

Today, let's take a look at this layout I created from leftover scraps. :)  ....let's check it out! 

This layout design was taken from our Make It From Your Heart, vol 3 book - and is pattern #25. :) 

I was putting together the Chelsea Gardens WYW kit for my upcoming class, and wanted to create a 4th layout - with my leftover paper.  





Here is the layout that came from those "leftover" papers...

(you can click on the photo to enlarge it to see details. ;) ) 
...a few things to note...

1. Please keep in mind, my ladies do NOT want to create the cards that are included in the WYW kits. So that means we don't cut the card pieces from the cutting guide.  Instead, we may choose to use that "extra" paper to create more layouts. :) 

2. We will often use White Daisy CS as our base page, not the B&T papers that CTMH suggests in the WYW instructions. 

Here are a few close ups...

The NEW CREAM ribbon is BEAUTIFUL...

...and did you notice the "marbelized" gems that coordinate with the Chelsea Gardens collection? 

 These embellishments are all LEFTOVER pieces from the Workshop Your Way (WYW) kit!!  I think our stickers from the Complements pack are SO pretty...you can hardly tell they are stickers!!

That's all for today....thanks for stopping by, and I hope you were inspired to go CREATE something on your own! :) 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now it’s time to Hop on over to my friendBetty's  blog and see what beautiful, crafty item she has to share with us!

Happy Hopping and we’ll see you on the 9th next month, when the Joyful Stars team members will be sharing more artwork using Close To My Heart products!    

Blessings to you for BEAUTIFUL day!!!
