Layered Flowers Technique Blog Hop

Welcome to our Technique Blog Hop where we are featuring artwork showcasing "Layered Flowers". With such a broad topic, it's going to be fun to see what everyone has created to share.  

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

For my card, I was immediately drawn to using the Layered Flowers Thin Cuts. Incorporating the Wild Berry Glitter Paper and cardstock, and some additional embellishments, it is screaming Spring. 

I included some Silver Glitter Gems, White Dots, and the Wild Berry Flower Sequins, adding dimension with some Foam Tape. 

Head over to see what Katy has created to share with you, on her blog. 

Happy hoppin'!

"Creative with Cardstock" Blog Hop

 

Welcome to this Blog Hop where we are highlighting Close To My Heart's Cardstock through the theme of "Creative with Cardstock". Did you know our cardstock is on SALE this month through the Cardstock Carnival? 

You can save up to 30% on bundles and you will want to be sure to check out the unique and exclusive UV-coated option! 

If you are coming from Darly's Blog, you are on the right track. You can find a complete list of participants at the bottom of this post. I am confident you will enjoy seeing different ways in which we have incorporated cardstock into our artwork so be sure to make your way around the Blog Hop.

I did not get fancy with the creation of this card, and do not feel I had to once I started putting it together. While there are some very fun techniques to do with cardstock, I decided to show how simple it is to create with it and some of our Thin Cuts. In fact, the only thing stamped is the sentiment, in White Daisy ink. Plus, with the use of the White Gel Pen, the added border is fun when done on Black cardstock. 

I used these Layered Flowers Thin Cuts and absolutely love them. They are such beautiful cuts and make creating very simple. 

Cardstock colors used: Wild Berry, Flamingo, Green Apple, Lemonade, and Capri. For a simple addition, I used the White Dots for the flower center. 

Thank so much for stopping by. Now it's time to head over to Brandi's Blog to see what she has created to share with you. Consider leaving a comment before you head her direction. 

I hope this month has been great to you!

Stunning Stencils CTMH Technique Blog Hop

 

Welcome to this Technique Blog Hop where we are featuring the use of "Stunning Stencils". Close To My Heart Makers incorporated stencils into their artwork and you will love what you see as you make your away around the circle! 

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

I absolutely enjoyed making this card using one of the stencils from the Card Front Stencil Pack. By sponging the Peacock Feathers Oxide Ink, through the "thank you" stencil, it resulted in this background. Then, some Thin Cut flowers from "Layered Flowers" were the perfect accents to add to the sentiment. 

Here are the other sentiments included in the referenced Stencil Pack; a great variety.

To create some dimension to the flower and leaf images, I inked the edges with respective ink colors - Flamingo, Clover, Raspberry and Lemon. To finish it up, I could not resist adding some glitz with the Glisten Stickles Glitter Glue. 

Thank you for stopping by. Be sure to continue to make your way around the Blog Hop by heading to Krista's Blog next. I'm confident you'll love what you see there, and beyond! Wishing you all the best for the second half of this month!  

Happy hoppin'!

I chose to create a 6" x 8" scrapbook page, for our Everyday Life Album. By incorporating some patterned paper from Sawyer, Kraft cardstock was used for the base. 

Mulberry and Sage added the colorful flower accents, cut from the "Layered Flowers" Thin Cuts. Gold Embellishing Thread and Gold Glitter Gems were added for a touch of bling. 

I still need to decide what photo I'm going to add to it and will do so this coming weekend.
