"You're So Hot" Card

Today is the very last day to get the paper packs I have been featuring this week, as well as a bunch of other retiring products from CTMH. You can find the complete list of what's left in stock HERE.

The card above is made with the Timberline Paper Packet. I checked this morning and it is now out of stock. However, the Timberline Complements (the cute stickers that I used on this card) are still available, while supplies last, and only until the end of the day.

Now, on to the card...

I did not do any stamping or inking on this card! I simply used the beautiful patterned papers and stickers. The Bamboo colored cardstock on the top portion of the card was distressed with my sanding block to make some of the pretty white core show through.

The arrow strip was cut off the top of one of the Timberline papers. In case you don't know, each 12" x 12" sheet of patterned CTMH paper comes with a "zip strip" on top. The zip strip is patterned on one side (the other side has the paper info, UPC code, etc.), so that you can use it on your projects!

Once the strip is cut off, the remaining paper is a true 12' x 12" size! 

I simply added the Timberline stickers to make a different take on this card. Instead of the outdoor, adventure, camping theme of the stickers, my card has a different implication ;o) Two gold Durables Triangle Studs were added to the card for some dimension.

I will be linking this card to the Heart 2 Heart challenge, "Some Like It Hot," found HERE.

"This is Good!" Card

Each day this week I have been featuring a card made with the current CTMH paper packs. And... we have been doing the countdown on each set of papers, since they are all retiring on July 31st! This card uses the Skylark Paper Packet, which you only have one more day to purchase!

I used Juniper ink to sponge around the edges of my background paper, tall strip, and small hexagons. Those tiny little hexagons were cut with the Artbooking Cricut cartridge. Actually, I cut a large hexagon overlay for another project and saved these little "negative space" pieces for future projects.

All of the stamped images were done with Chocolate ink.

Let me tell you something about these stamp sets. The sentiment, "This is Good!" was taken from a Hostess Only stamp set. Did you know that CTMH hostesses have exclusive stamp sets that they can choose from? Not only can you earn FREE Hostess Rewards for almost all of the goodies in the catalog, but you also get to choose from exclusive stamp sets, DEEPLY discounted!

The tiny bird and flower were taken from a small 4 stamp set called "Delicate Wings." This set is not in any of our catalogs, and is not for purchase. It is an exclusive perk that I give to my Hostesses for holding a CTMH party/class, or Facebook party. 

Did you miss your chance to get this exclusive set from me? Don't worry, there is a brand new set being released on August 1st! 

If you host an in-home or online party with me this year, the exclusive new set will be yours! And, this is in addition to any FREE products and discounted products you can earn through CTMH!

Here's a last look at the card. The bird and flower have foam tape added to the back to pop off of the page for added dimension. The card design inspiration came from Case this Sketch, challenge #86, found HERE.

"All the Details" Card

This bright, summery paper packet, called "Jubilee" is another one of the CTMH retiring products that is only available for 2 more days! If you want to get your packet before they are gone, please click HERE.

This card is a tall and skinny 3.5" x 5.5" card. The background paper is Indian Corn Blue and all of the patterned papers are from the Jubilee Paper Packet. I used Indian Corn Blue and Honey inks to sponge around my paper edges, and Cranberry ink to stamp my sentiment.

I love the way the bright reds, blues, yellow, and green complement each other in this summery card! The Jubilee inspired colors were part of the Color Dare #103 challenge this week, found HERE. The official challenge colors were: Honey, Indian Corn Blue, Topiary, and Cranberry.

I will be linking this card to Color Dare, and also to Mojo Monday, challenge #356, found HERE. Mojo Monday provided the tall and skinny sketch for this card. Thank you to both challenges, I always have fun playing along each week!

A Ray of Lollydoodle Sunshine!

This cute little 3" x 3" card looks like a ray of Lollydoodle sunshine! All of the papers used to create this card are from the Lollydoodle Paper Packet... which is retiring in 3 more days! Yikes, time to stock up if you love this paper!

I did not do any stamping on this project. I used a little bit of Cotton Candy (pink) ink to sponge around the pink cardstock, but that's it for the ink!

After I created a "sunshine ray" effect with the Lollydoodle papers, I added a cute flower button from the Lollydoodle Assortment. Adding the button at the point where all of the "rays" meet, keeps everything looking neat and tidy. To finish off the card, I added 3 pink glitter gems.

I will be linking this card to Retrosketches Challenge #125, found HERE.
