Joyful Stars Blog Hop - September 2013

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 MONTH we have items to share that are related to back to school, fall or Thanksgiving theme.  So come on in and  see what BEAUTIFUL projects my fellow consultants 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 have arrived from Nickie’s blog you are right on track.

Today I’d like to share with you the My Creations Card Box that I created using the HUNTINGTON paper pack.

I will be sharing details about the Card Box today…

but feel free to come back to my BLOG during the next two weeks  to learn details and see close up pictures of the 4 cards shown in the picture above! (2 cards this week & 2 next week!)  J

Here is the TOP of the card box…

I used the NEW Artbooking Cricut cartridge (exclusively from CTMH) for the frame, flowers and leaves on the top of this card box!

Here are some items to note, if you choose to create a similar box…

• I used cocoa re-inker, and a paintbrush to “paint” the edges of my card box PRIOR to adhering any paper or embellishments to the top or sides of the box.
• The frames are cut from the M key of Artbooking Cricut cartridge.  The sizes of the 3 frames - 4”, 4 1/4” and 4 1/2”. 
• The roses were cut from the D key (of Artbooking) and cut at 1 3/4” and 2 1/2”.  I rolled the flowers with the handy-dandy quilling tool,(LOVE this tool!)  and then I used liquid glass to secure the rolled flower to the base of flower.

• Did you notice how the dots of Liquid Glass on the diamond background - add dimension to the top of the card box?
• Stamp sets used…Happy Autumn & Universal Backgrounds

For the border near the bottom of the box, I got out my handy dandy NEW scallop border punch J - I have this punch RIGHT BY MY SIDE at all times!!  I use this punch on SO MANY of my projects! 

I scalloped a piece of the chain-link, barn red, patterned paper that comes with the Huntington paper pack.  I also scalloped a piece of Cocoa cardstock to layer under the designer paper. 

For some added sparkle, I added a piece of our adhesive-backed bronze shimmer trim and topped off the scalloped border with bitty pearls from our Mocha opaques collection.

I hope this has inspired you to think about what items YOU CAN CREATE as the holiday season approaches!  I LOVE the My Creations Box and the MANY ways it can be used! 

Now hop on over to Stephanie’s blog to see what amazing artwork she has created this month!!  

Happy Hopping and we’ll see you on the 9th next month, with the Joyful Stars team members sharing some NEW goodies!!    

Blessings to you for a BEAUTIFUL day!!!

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…

I hope you enjoyed the project!  At ONLY $4.95 for our Card box - it makes a WONDERFUL option to use to create a gift!!!  

Here are the Products Used to create this item! 

X7165B For Always paper pack
D1477 Universal Backgrounds

Z1647 My Creations Card Box
Black & Grey glitter paper
Sparkle flourishes

Button Assortment - Black
Just Bloom Flutter butterflies
Now hop on over to Betty’s blog to see what amazing artwork she has created this month!!
