CTMH--- Picture This Layout!

For the Close To My Heart Convention last week, I created these layouts for my roomies! I wanted them to have a nice page to put some of their favorite convention photos on (like one of the 4 of us).

There is no stamping on this layout (although we did get a stamp set at Convention that would create that logo that I printed out off the Convention website
I just LOVE the little lollipop flowers at the bottom of the first page- so easy and yet so cute! Just punch out circles, crumple them to distress, then layer and use a brad or button in the center. Your circles can be different sizes or all the same size, then hand manipulated to whatever shape you desire.
Another cool thing I did was created a "suede" look on the bottom of my twilight cardstock on the second page. I did that by rubbing my stamp pad directly onto the paper. This is a neat technique, gives plain ol' cardstock just enough distressing.


Supplies:
All CTMH unless noted
Twilight, Vineyard berry, Cocoa cardstock
Emporium Level 2
Vineyard Berry Ribbon
Antique Copper brads
Cocoa brads
Reflections patterns: Bottom Border, Quartet

CTMH- Washi Tape Card

Do you WASHI???   Washi Tape is one of the new and super trendy products being used.  I'm not afraid to jump on the bandwagon :)  CTMH now has a Slate Polka-Dot Washi Tape (and I HOPE there are lots more to come!!!)  I also have picked up a couple others at Michaels recently. This weeks Color My Heart Color Dare is JUNIPER.  I decided to use Juniper as the accent color for my card today. I used the black banner stamp set from Artiste Kudos , CTMH's Slate Washi Tape , CTMH's Silver Shimmer Trim and a black arrow washi tape.  The sentiment is from Artiste Birthday , stamped in Juniper, then popped on foam tape. A simple card like this, called for some dressing up of the inside too.  I stamped Happy Birthday from Perfect Fit Birthday and added some Slate Washi Tape to the bottom. Head over to Color My Heart to check out the other color dare entries :)

CTMH-- September Stamp of the Month- Fall Favori

Welcome to the Close To My Heart Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for September 2012, featuring Fall Favorites   All artwork on the hop will feature Fall Favorites!  This is a set of 11 stamps and it's really making me want FALL---- NOW!!!  How cute is this set!?  If you have come here from  Susan's Blog y ou are on the right path. For my card today, I used the new Clementine paper pack, which is so versatile!  I cut the tag from Art Philosophy and stamped Fall Favorites in Brown Staz-on ink, then colored the pumpkin and leaves with my new markers.  I found that they don't blend and shade terribly well on Kraft cardstock- but the color showed up.  I added some of my favorite Burlap Ribbon to the card :) Do you think I like pumpkin pie???  Just a little bit ;) The September Stamp of the Month- Fall Favorites is available September 1-30th.  With any $50 purchase, this set is yours for $5....
