CTMH Cross Canada Blog Hop - January

Welcome to our January Blog Hop featuring artwork created from Close To My Heart products found in the new the Seasonal Inspirations 2018 catalogue.

To purchase any of the items seen in this blog hop, contact your local consultant to place an order.

If you came from Nicky's blog then you are in the right place!

I decided to showcase how one of new papers coordinates perfectly with a stamp and diecut from the annual catalogue. Here is a quick card for a baby shower, wedding shower, wedding, or Mother's Day.  Stamp an appropriate sentiment for the occasion and voilà you're ready to go!



This card is made by using the Gimme Some Sugar paper. The floral pattern is cut at 5.5" x 3", and green piece at 5.5" x 0.5".

The Beautiful You die was used to cut the flower and 2 leaves out of Daisy white cardstock. A third leaf was cut out of vellum. The medium-sized flower was stamped with pale Bashful pink ink and the second layer in Pixie. The middle of the flowers was made with ShinHan marigold marker. The two leaves were stamped in Juniper. I embellished using Bitty sparkles in the center of some of the little flowers and a sparkle on the large flower.

To tie everything in, I like to decorate the envelope - this time I stamped flowers across the flap.
