CTMH-- Artiste in August Day 9- Flower Top Box

Welcome back to Day 9 of the Artiste in August Blog Hop!! You should be arriving from Amy's Blog. Your next stop will be PAMELA'S BLOG.

Today we are featuring the Flower Top Box on page 36 in the handbook (6 in the assembly book)

I used the Flirty Level 2 papers for this one. How do you like this "accent" color- Flirty Yellow??? CTMH is adding some seasonal accent colors to some of the paper packs in order to add to the color palette, without constantly adding new colors to our exclusive color list. Along with Flirty Yellow is Flirty Raspberry.

I cut this Flower Top Box at fit to page in the Flirty yellow, then another in the flower pattern paper. I cut the tabs off the flower paper and glued them to the yellow, just to give it more color at the top!

On the inside, I stamped "Just a note to Brighten your day", and used some of the chipboard accents from the Flirty Compliments. I put them on one of our springs, so that it pops out of the card a little. I couldn't get a good picture of that though. I like the springs and will have to use them again- maybe on with paper instead of chipboard on it!

CTMH- Everything ABC's Blog Hop- E is for Easter

Welcome to the Everything ABC's Blog Hop! For this hop we will be featuring the letter E. This may be the name of a paper, a stamp set or an embellishment. Whatever the crafter has chosen as their E element will be featured in their post. If you have just hopped onto my blog, you can start at the beginning at Amber's blog ~ Scrapper's Therapy If you came from Shelly ~ Just One Piece then you're on the right track! E is for EASTER You may recall a few months ago, I posted a couple layouts from the baby album I am making for my niece.... well she's now 3 months old and I only finished through 4 months! I have some work to do..... Today I created an Easter Layout using THIS layout as my inspiration. The Chantilly paper pack is perfectly girly and springy! I cut two strips of the green pattern, then sliced it up to make it look like grass. Using Art Philosophy, I cut out a bunch of different eggs in 1 1/2", 1 3/4" and ...

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 :)
