If you have arrived from Betty's blog you are right on track.
Today I have a card to share with you. This card was a part of a free Make N Take I gave at my Open House Event, that I held last week. Let's take a look.
Close To My Heart released TWO New Idea Books on September 1st -- and there are so MANY, FABULOUS, BRAND NEW products! There were so many new goodies to choose from as I created this card!
The two NEW Paper packs I used were...
1. Lovely Collection
2. Wood Grains
Check out ALL of our NEW paper collections by clicking here!
You'll also notice that PRETTY blue shade of cardstock. Please WELCOME, our NEW "Color of the Year" named Blue Belle!
I LOVE how the color popped on this cardstock, as I used one of our NEW 5x7 Embossing folders -- "Floral Lace"--to "indent" the floral design.
I also used TWO of our NEW stamp & thin cut collections on this card too. Check out these BEAUTIFUL & very useful stamp sets!
Z3698 Stitched Florals (I KNOW this will be a favorite of mine)
Z3780 Birthday Borders Stamp & Thin Cuts
Take note --the "Happy Birthday" is all one stamp image...BUT...by using my SHARP micro-tip scissors, I cut the Birthday stamp image apart, 😮That way, I could stack the words on top of each other, instead of side by side. 💗
This doesn't hurt the stamp set at all -- and I can EASILY "butt together" the cut pieces to form a straight line again when placing them on my clear block. Don't you LOVE the many ways you can use Clear Stamps? 😊
The Happy Birthday, was stamped with our LOVELY Blue Belle ink, onto a Ballerina Cardstock piece that was cut out using our NEW Stitched Scallop Brackets--fun, fun!
Stickles make the PERFECT center for flowers....and it's even BETTER when we have 5 new Stickle colors to choose from! 😍
It's AMAZING what a little "sparkle & shine" will do for your creations!
Speaking of sparkle and shine---did you take note of that sparkly, NEW Ballerina glitter paper?!?! I cut the decorative border from our NEW Fancy Borders Thin Cut collection. This border set includes 5 different borders and is at a fabulous price too!
Here is the list of products I used to create this card:
X8015B Lovely paper
X8017 Wood Grain Paper
X6048 Blue Belle Cardstock
X6036 Ballerina Cardstock
X6045 Sage Cardstock
