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

I LOVE the vibrant, bright colors of this BEAUTIFUL Free To Be Me paper pack!  What FUN!!

I used CTMH’s how-to-book, Make It From Your Heart, vol2, pattern #5 to create this 2 page layout.

I pulled out a spray pen, mixed bamboo re-inker(5 lines) & water (4 lines) to create a spray mixture and misted the background.  Then I used this beautiful paper to complete the sketch!

This paper pack includes TWO sheets of vellum!!  You can see the feather vellum on top of the bamboo cardstock in the picture below.  LOVE this vellum!!!

The Artbooking Cricut cartridge is PERFECT to cut out this 3 1/4” photo frame & these adorable banners. 

Look closely at the banner below,J while I did use our All the Details stamp set for the stamped banner pieces, take a look at the triangle banners. 

I stamped the triangle banners on the BACK SIDE of the designer paper & then cut them out of the patterned paper from the Free To Be Me paper pack.  I really like this red pattern design!

Take a peek!! J

The blog hop is a great big circle, so you can start here and work your way all around. If you get lost along the way, you’ll find the complete list of participating consultants here HERE…

This month we have over

 50 Close To My Heart Consultants sharing their creations using this You’ve Got a Friend stamp set!!

So, sit back and enjoy your tour as you click on the link at the end of the post to see what EACH Consultant has created!!

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I start to create - I ALWAYS go to one of CTMH’s FABULOUS how to books!!

In this case I pulled out the Make It From Your Heart, vol 1 and decided to use card pattern 26.

After deciding what kind of card design to create, I knew  I wanted to make a rustic card…so out came our current paper pack called, Timberline. 

Here is the card I created… 

I choose to stamp the background with our wire background stamp - from Distressed Backgrounds- to pull the rustic feel through the entire card.

 

I tend to use the NEW embossing folders from CTMH in a lot of my creations…but I just LOVE the effect they can bring to any creations!

You can emboss almost ANYTHING to create a new pattern!  In this case I even embossed the rustic, barn board background paper with dots, and then pulled some Whisper ink over top of the dots to make them “pop”

By adding some hemp Baker’s twine & triangle durables as accents, it pulls the entire card together. J

Now head on over to Jen Patrick’s Blog  to see what she has created using this stamp set!
