September Stamp of the Month Blog Hop- Poster Tidings


Welcome to the Close To My Heart Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for September 2013- featuring Poster Tidings


 

If you have come here from Michelle's Blog you're on the right path.  If you get lost along the way, you'll find a complete hop list at Helen's Blog!


Subway art is so fun! I have several up in my home for Holidays and family.

For my card, I used Huntington papers and assortment. I cut my own card base at 6x12 with Cashmere cardstock. I made a side fold and added some bronze shimmer trim

The fall sentiment was stamped in Autumn Terra Cotta, Olive and Barn Red ink, in a diagonal pattern. I wish I had some technical tip for you on how to do this, but really I inked the stamp in Autumn Terra Cotta in a diagonal at the top, then used Olive ink at a diagonal at the bottom 2/3, and added Barn Red on the bottom 1/3. 

I edged the stamped image with more bronze shimmer trim. And embellished with a leaf from the Huntington assortment, along with an acorn cut from Art Philosophy.

The diagonal coloring is very striking as is the glitter border. Great card.

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 :)
