CTMH--- SNEAK PEEK at 2013 Spring Summer Product!

One of the biggest perks of being a Close To My Heart Consultant is that we get to order NEW PRODUCT one month before customers!  A bonus for you is that my order came in this week and I had a chance to create with some of it :) :)

I created two cards for my card class during the week using new product.  The ladies were super excited to see it and be able to create with it too!

CHANTILLY Birthday Card
This paper pack is featured on the cover of the Spring Summer Idea Book AND is what you get in the 2013 Consultant Kit!  SO PRETTY!!

My card today uses not only the Chantilly papers, but the NEW Chantilly TEXTILES too!  That's right, CTMH is introducing FABRIC!  The Chantilly Textiles have 3 patterns (Buttercup polka-dot, Pear damask and Blush small floral) at 14"'x24".  For only $8.95, I see myself using a whole lot of this fabric!
I also used a new Birthday set- Perfect Fit Birthday.  It coordinates with our Perfect Fit Frame stamp sets (there's a new one of those too!!!)
Finally- a new technique I learned--- COLORING ON SILVER TRIM!  YES!  Using the Alcohol markers, you can color the Silver Trim to be whatever color you like :)  AWESOME!

 **Design is an original by me**  Doesn't happen very often, so I thought I'd point that out :)

FOR ALWAYS Anniversary Card
BE STILL MY HEART!  Black and white and damask?????  OH MY!  This paper pack is to die for!  It comes with cardstock in Ruby, Honey and Lagoon- awesome color pops!  WAIT- it gets better----- For Always has TEXTILES TOO!!!!  Black Damask, White with black polka-dots & Black with white script. 3 gorgeous patterns at 14"x24" for $8.95.  Those are going to be SO FUN to work with too!


My card uses For Always- but I added a pop of Smoky Plum.  I used the all new The Happy Couple stamp set for my sentiment.  The Slate Satin ribbon, tied with our new Black Buttons worked perfect with this card.   
Incidently- Lavender and Silver were my wedding colors.... I'll be saving this card for MY anniversary :)

Wow, I am definitely a bigger fan of the slate ribbon now! I think I swooned a bit when I saw the damask paper too, lol. Beautiful card, Jen! Thanks for linking up with us at the Color Dare.

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 :)
