Artbooking in August- Happy Birthday Tag & Card

Welcome to Week #3 of the Artbooking in August Blog Hop. Last week's artwork was so amazing and this week over 35 creative consultants are at it again!

Their challenge was to create 4 different projects using the Cricut Artbooking cartridge and any CTMH paper pack. Their mission was to design each of the following:

1. 2 page layout
2. Card
3. Mini Book
4. Home decor or 'giftable' item

They were able to choose what to make and when to post it. AND if they wanted to add stamps to their designs, that was OK. This week they will add another great design to the challenge and I am anxious to see what everyone has created!

Remember this is a circular blog hop and if you get lost or confused along the way, the list is posted on Adeline's blog here.

************************************************

Today I have a tag and card that I've created with Cricut Artbooking along with Cricut Artiste.

I started with this:

*Hexagon overlay: Key "Family", 7.5"

*Tag: key "All star", 2.5" real dial size

*Flower: Key "D", 3" real dial size
*Leaf: Key "D", 3/4" real dial size

*Bracket: Key " ", 2" real dial size
*Pear & Black ink

*Cotton Candy Markers

*Heartfelt Birthday Wish

I was inspired by the canvas I made a few weeks ago, and decided to go with a hexagon background for my tag. Initially I thought I could use the hexagon overlay as a mask and spray some glimmer mist on the tag to create the background... but paint/reinker mix was not working out and it was bleeding through the overlay- what a mess. Instead I decided to sponge the ink on, using the overlay as a mask- so much better! I added a rolled flower and leaf at the bottom, and my sentiment from Heartfelt Birthday Wish.

Using some of the same supplies and cuts from Artbooking, I created a card. I used the gift card cut from Cricut Artiste and Laughing Lola papers.

*Flower: Key "D", 3" real dial size
*Leaf: Key "D", 3/4" real dial size

*Bracket: Key " ", 2" real dial size
*Black Shimmer Trim
*Heartfelt Birthday Wish
*Black ink
*Gypsy Markers
*Laughing Lola papers

~~ Holiday Blog Hop ~~

Welcome to the Paper Secrets Holiday Blog Hop. I made a couple of things to share with you today. I created this lovely paper tree by punching a LOT of 1 1/4" circles of Mistletoe Paper, then used pearl floral pins to secure them in rows to a styrofoam cone. As I neared the top, I had to use some adhesive so that they did not flare out, but sit in the cone shape. At the top, I stamped 3 stars and adhered them to the top of the cone. Supplies: Styrofoam cone Pearl Floral Pins CTMH Mistletoe level 2 paper CTMH Mistletoe Creative Basics paper D1320 Shining Star Stamps I created a second paper tree using instructions from Tracey Mason . I created an accordion flower with a stamped sentiment for my topper on this one. Supplies: Styrofoam Cone CTMH Mistletoe Level 2 papers K& Co paper D1380 Just for the Holidays Stamps I created a total of four paper trees to sit upon my mantel! The "subway art" was a free printable from eighteen25 ....

April Showers Blog Hop

Thanks for joining me for another weekend of Blog Hoppin Fun! If you have come here from Tina's Blog , you are on the right path! Keep on hoppin until the end :) April Showers is our theme, and I went with the "shower" theme and made baby cards for baby showers! I am addicted to making these stacked present cards lately! I first saw one that my friend Jayma made, who found it on Vicki's blog. Recently, I saw a couple cute ones on Haley's blog too. I cut my paper strips at 1.25 tall x 3, 2.25 and 1.5 long. Add a ribbon down the center, or just a bow on top and you're set! I used the Sweet Baby stamp set and Polka Dot Alphabet for my sentiments. Now I'm all set for the next baby shower..... (though I don't know any preggos right now). This design is also great for Birthday Cards too!!!! I made two each of these cards and stamped Birthday sentiments on them :) Supplies: BOY: Miracle Level 2 Sweet Baby...
