Baby Boy card- 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!

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

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

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

Today I thought I’d share a baby card I made this past week.  I needed a BOY card, and created this card using the Ivy Lane (girly J paper pack) & the Paper Fundamentals collection.  

Take a look at what the Ivy Lane paper pack looks like… If you notice, I used the green side of the first designer paper. 

I challenge myself often to use a paper collection in a way it wasn’t intended to be used.  What FUN and interesting creations I can create when I allow myself to think this way! J

I also used one of our newer products - the Basics Paper Fundamentals papers…oh my…these are so FUN!!! Take a look, this pictures shows both sides of the papers…

…the 1st side is a glossy printed cardstock, while the second side has the same pattern, but in your “normal” paper appearance.  I’m hoping that in the NEXT Idea Book (Aug. 1st) CTMH will debut MORE of this collection in a multitude of colors!!! J

I pulled in a different color than listed with the Ivy Lane paper pack.  Outdoor Denim was the perfect color to accent the green and helped turn it into a GREAT boy baby card! J

The “New Arrival” stamp set is one you’ll want to have in your collection - AND it’s Cricut compatible to CTMH cartridges too!!

The only embellishment I chose to use on this card was our BEAUTIFUL outdoor denim chevron ribbon…nice & simple. 

The card pattern came from our Make It From Your Heart, vol. 2, pattern 28.   

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

 

Now it’s time to Hop on over to  Nickie Hoffer’s blog to check out what beautiful, crafty item she has to share with us! J 

Happy Hopping and we’ll see you on the 9th next month, when the Joyful Stars team members will be sharing artwork using some NEW, upcoming products from CTMH!!    

Blessings to you for BEAUTIFUL day!!!

Countdown with Dotty for You- Card #3

LAST DAY

**CLICK HERE to vote for my Dotty for You Layout on CTMH facebook page! ** Thank You!!!  J

Dotty for You card #3 was created by myself. J 

(To see the first TWO Dotty for You cards, CLICK HERE and HERE)

Have you noticed how much I LOVE this combination of colors?  Sweet Leaf green is my favorite color, and lagoon and grey flannel complement it nicely!

I used the papers from the Dotty for You paper pack, and decided to cut off the bottom of my card for a different approach.  If you look closely, the green scallop is the bottom front of my card.

I used a Dimensional Element to raise up my sentiment…and I completely covered it with the blue Dotty paper.  I then stamped the “BABY”’ stamp on a Cricut cut square, and popped it on top of the D.E. with 3D foam!

I LOVE how the color of the seam binding ribbon turned out on this card!  It is so vibrant and matches the colors of the card PERFECTLY!

  This Ribbon is SOOO amazing!!!  It comes white(as you can see in the picture), BUT with a sponge dauber and an ink to coordinate with your creation – you can create this ribbon to ANY COLOR that you need!! It is so quick and easy to add ink to this ribbon!!

Supplies I used…

• Dotty for You paper pack
• New Arrival stamp set
• Diverse Backgrounds stamp set
• Eclectic Edges stamp set
• Color Ready Seam Binding Ribbon
• Corner Rounder (to create scallop border)
• Silver Glitz Glitter Gel
• Inks: Sweet Leaf, Lagoon & Grey Flannel

My next Dotty for You card (CLICK HERE to see the 1st Dotty for You card) was created by Stephanie Huber.  Stephanie has a Blog as well that you will want to check out…just click on her highlighted name! J

Stephanie created a fun 3x3 card and used the Dotty For You paper pack as well as a Dimensional Element (D.E.) banner shape that coordinates with our Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge. 

Stephanie topped off her card with some cute images…the flower stamped on her D.E. banner AND the butterfly stamped in the top right corner, both come from the NEW ARRIVAL stamp set.  A WONDERFUL stamp set to welcome any child!!!

I appreciate so much that Close To My Heart’s Cricut Collection is a BUNDLE of items!  (bundle being the key word! J)

Our Cricut Collection is MUCH MORE than the “regular” Cricut cartridge! J

As you can see, when you purchase this AMAZING package – you will be receiving the cartridge, 3 exclusive Art Philosophy stamp sets AND 3 sheets of Dimensional Elements!!! 

How is CTMH’s Art Philosophy Cricut Bundle different than others?

1. It cuts over 700 images! Not shapes…700 images!!!

Here is a picture of the 6 different 3D flowers you can create with this cartridge…love it!

But this cartridge, doesn’t just cut flowers…it cuts

• borders
• alphabets
• tags
• card bases
• 3D boxes(chinese take out box, pillow box, purse, etc)

and SOOO much more!!!

2. It coordinates with many of our STAMP sets!!!

How does this work?

You will notice in our current IDEA BOOK, there are some stamp images outlined in red.  These outlined images coordinate with our Cricut Cartridge!!!

When you purchase that stamp set, you will see a measurement on the stamp carrier sheet. Find the image shape on your Cricut machine, and then set your size dial to the size listed on your carrier sheet.

Cut out your Cricut image…and TA-DA…you have a perfectly cut image that you can stamp your image on!!!

Here are the EXCLUSIVE stamp sets that will come IN your Cricut Collection.

Notice the measurements on the carrier sheet – this tells you the size image you will need to cut!  How EASY is that?!?!

 

These stamp sets ONLY are available when you purchase the Cricut Art Philosophy Collection…

Art Philosophy Seasons stamp set

Art Philosophy Celebrations Stamp set

Art Philosophy Tags Stamp Set

CLICK HERE to get your OWN Cricut Art Philosophy Collection EXCLUSIVE available through Close To My Heart!!!!

So often I hear...is there any way I can get this AMAZING bundle for less than $99...because I'd REALLY like to own one of these! J

There is ONE other way to get this Cricut Collection at 1/2 price... 

when you host a Gathering (book party, online gathering or in-home gathering) and your sales reach the $250 mark...

you can chose to get an item for 1/2 price!!! Meaning you would pay $49.50 for this AMAZING Cricut BUNDLE PLUS you will also receive $40 FREE in CTMH Products too!!!!
