Operation Smile & Cornucopia Card - 4th autumn card

Today I will be sharing with you the details for the 4th and FINAL card that was created using our Huntington paper pack!!

This set (shown below) was auctioned off this past summer at the annual CTMH Convention to raise money for Operation Smile
Huntington card box and 4 cards_DSC_2307
I was EXCITED when this set sold for $125 to help the
children with Operation Smile. 


Wahoo!!  This amount paid for 1/2 of a
clef palate, cleft lip or facial deformity operation!! 
 


We would LOVE to have you join us in supporting this organization and the many children that are need of this surgery!! 
With EVERY ORDER that you place through Close To My Heart - you
have the option to give a donation to Operation Smile. 
If you have never done this, I ENCOURAGE you to CONSIDER “rounding up” each order that you place with CTMH.
  Round your total amount to the next nearest $ (or you are welcome to donate more than that too!) 


***Please feel from to Visit the Operation Smile website for more information.
,
 Thanks for letting me share with you about Operation
Smile!!  This organization is especially close to my
heart because of the many personal testimonies we have
heard and seen at our CTMH events. Operation Smile
has helped SO MANY people!!   
Well, let’s get started and take a closer look at our 4th Autumn card!

CTMH has a perfect NEW Autumn stamp set. It is called Count Your Blessings.  Even though I don’t care to color in stamped images…I really enjoyed creating with this stamp set! 




I inked the cornucopia in Cocoa pigment ink, because I wanted to use my watercolor pencils (with blending pen) and alcohol markers to color it in. 


Then I decided to stamp another cornucopia, so that I could cut one image out, and pop some of the vegetables!


Here’s a closer look…

A few more details…

I used my FAVORITE stamp set once again - Universal Backgrounds (sorry if you get tired of seeing this one! LOL!) and stamped the script with Champagne ink.  I love how this stamp set “fills in the background” when I feel it needs just a touch more.


I also used our NEW Scallop Border Punch on the cocoa cardstock, and then sanded it after I punched the border.
       

I used the Artbooking Cartridge to cut out the chain link border (cut at .3”) and laid that border on top of our JUTE RIBBON.  You will find this image on page 44 - Key 7.

Come on in, and let’s take a closer look at our 3rd Autumn card!

This card pattern came from our Wishes how-to book.  It is called the “Gallery” pattern.  I LOVE using our How-To books!!  Using them takes away the extra time it takes to come up with the card design!


I wanted to have some “texture” added to this card - so to do that, I sanded the edges of my papers.  I LOVE that with ALL Close To My Heart paper is “white cored” paper.  That means that our paper has a white middle!!



You can use the paper just like it is (without exposing the white core) OR make that white shine through by sanding it, edge distressing it or a variety of other ways!

I then used the Sarita Textiles to tie a ribbon on this card.Fabric_sarita DSC_0002
I love the Goldrush colored fabric that comes in this pack!!

  To carry over the distressed look of the card, I frayed the edges of my Sarita fabric.

Next, I cut out this BEAUTIFUL leaf with the new Artbooking Cartridge., by using the B key.

I found that when I cut out the “front” of the leaf with cardstock and BACK it with our Brown/Tan Glitter paper, it adds an AMAZING effect to the card!!

Are you wondering where the word “Autumn” came from?  The word autumn was cut off one of our fabulous zip strips!!

Zip Strips_Huntington_DSC_0034
Zip strips are 1/2” strip at the top of all of our designer paper packs!!  I love the little “extras” we receive when purchasing CTMH products!



The tab that the word autumn is on, comes form the Huntington My Stickease pack.


  There are so many beautiful stickers that can be used just as they are OR why not add a bit of ink or glitz glitter gel  to take them up a notch!  J


I believe that completes the details for our 3rd Autumn card! 


Make sure to come back on Wednesday, when I will be sharing details on the 4th and final card in this set!  J



Blessings to you!!
