Diffuse Your Artwork - Technique Blog Hop

Thank you for joining us on this hop as we show you how to "Diffuse Your Artwork" using our Square or Circle Diffuser, used alongside our Embossing Folders.  They provide a totally fun and new element to folders, giving them even more value.

If you are coming from Sheila's Blog, you are on the right track.  A list of participants is provided at the end of the post.

Incorporating the Confetti Embossing Folder, with the Circle Diffuser, I designed this card.  The Confetti Embossing Folder is nice as it heavier on the bottom and gradually reduces the number of dots as it gets towards the top.  Then, you can see where I used the Diffuser, and stamped the sentiment, that there are no embossing images in that area.  Fun, right?  That is what the Diffuser does - blocks the area for stamping or other creativity.

I was a little timid in using the Diffuser - just running it through the Cuttlebug - but it worked out great and I cannot wait to try it with other embossing folders.  There are quite a few videos on YouTube for how to use them so check them out and then get one or both to play with!  The Square Diffuser will definitely be on my next order!

I cannot wait to see what the other ladies came up with so keep making your way around the hop, checking out Darlys' Blog next.  

Happy hoppin'!

Spotlight on Holiday Expressions Blog Hop

We are shedding a spotlight this month on the fabulous and new products contained in this issue of Holiday Expressions.  The products were released September 1st and are only available to you through December 31, 2015 or while supplies last.  It contains holiday-related products perfect for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas.  You can click HERE to view the online version or contact me or your CTMH Consultant to obtain a hard copy.

There are 30 Consultants showcasing these products and I know you will love what you see!  If you are coming from Jessica's Blog you are on the right track.  You can find a complete list of participants by clicking here.

I totally LOVE how this card turned out and it was so simple to create.  Eggplant cardstock was used for the card front and then two different patterned paper was added from the Sangria paper pack.  The sentiment and leaves came from the Thankful Heart stamp set, stamped in Cocoa and the leaves colored with the ShinHan markers.

Gold Foil Tape, a fun embellishment that is simple to add to your project, and Gold Sequins finished off the card.

Here is the stamp set and paper pack used:

B1463 Thankful Heart $9.95 

X7199B Sangria Paper Pack $9.95

Aren't' they both gorgeous?!

Thanks for stopping by.  I would love for you to leave a comment before heading over to Sheila's Blog to see what she created using the Holiday Expressions products.

Heart 2 Heart - Sketch

We start our first week in October with a fun sketch with Heart 2 Heart Challenges.  I love this sketch and had fun playing with it.  As always, I am looking forward to seeing everyone's interpretation of it.  It is fun to see how everyone starts in the same place but a variety of creativity is the result.

You can't help but love the new Sangria paper pack.  It is gorgeous, reminds me of Fall (for sure) an offers so much color.  I used Poppy, one of the new colors in our Enchantment Color Palette, for the card front.  The chevron pattern was used and layered on a piece of Eggplant cardstock (another new color).  Embellishments are from the Sangria Complements and Fundamental Stickers Enchantment Pack.  I couldn't leave it alone without adding Gold Sequins and Gold Shimmer Trim, of course!

Consider creating a card using this sketch and link up to Heart 2 Heart this week!  I can't wait to see what you come up with!
