"Terrific Treats" CTMT Technique Blog Hop

Welcome to this month's "Terrific Treats" Technique Blog Hop featuring Close To My Heart products. Participants were able to create anything treat-like. I'm confident you'll find some fun artwork as you make your way around the hop.

If you are coming from Lauren's Blog, you are on the right track. You can find a complete list of participants at the bottom of this post.

With Valentine's Day a month away, I decided to make a cute, simple and quick treat for that occasion, using one of our Thin Cuts (shown below). 

The Thin Cuts - Favor Box is a one-sheet cut and folds nicely to form this 2" box, perfect for a few treats.  

While it's simple, there is a "trick" way to create the nice ribbon closure for this box. Here is a video to show you the easy assembly and that process. With this Thin Cut, it's easy to assemble quite a few of these for classroom treats, your co-workers, or neighbors.

Here is a sideview of the box. I used the "Oh My Heart" paper cover the sides. 

Thank you so much for stopping by. Head on over to Alyson's Blog to see what she has to share with you. Enjoy the rest of your week!

Oh My Heart Blog Hop

Welcome to this month's Blog Hop where we are featuring special products called "Oh My Heart". These exclusive items are only available through the end of February, while supplies last.

You can get a brand-new paper packet, coordinating sticker sheet, complementary cardstock, and exclusive stamp set to capture your heart this Valentine's Day. Save 25% when you purchase the kit as shown. View other purchasing options through this link. 

If you are coming from Miss Carrie's Creations, you are on the right track. You can find a list of participants here.

I had fun making this simple but heartfelt greeting card. The patterned paper in this collection is totally adorable and I was pleased with the results of this combo. By adding a little bit of White Ribbon, stickers from the Complements, and some Silver Stickles (Glisten Stickles Glitter Gel), I thought it ended up pretty cute! 

Rather than using the stamp set that is part of this special, I chose to use the "Life is a Journey" stamp set. I LOVE these sentiments that are perfect for any time of the year. It was one of the first stamps I purchased from this new Idea Book. 

With this close-up, you can see how the Stickles were a little bit of added bling to the finished card. My friend, Sundi, suggested I put it on the patterned paper and I love the results. I hope you do too!

Now it's time to head over to Melinda's Blog where she will share her creation with you. I appreciate you stopping by and do enjoy when you leave comments.

I hope today is a fantastic start to an enjoyable weekend!
