Hip Hip Hooray Birthday on Cloud Nine ~ (National Papercrafting Month Blog Hop)

To celebrate National Papercrafting Month in January, Close To My Heart is offering a special Cloud Nine cardmaking kit.  With this, you can create 10 cute cards (2 each of 5 designs) using three sneak-peek accessories from the upcoming Spring/Summer Idea Book, a new D-size stamp set, and exclusive Cloud Nine paper.

If you have come here from Haley's 'The Inky Scrapper', continue the Cloud Nine Blog Hop to see projects shared by   20+ very creative CTMH Consultants.  Be sure to click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move to the next one.

Using the mustache stamp from the Cloud Nine set, this card has the appearance of a bow on top of a gift box.  To create the polka-dot box, some strips of gold Washi Tape were adhered to a square of black cardstock.  The finishing "it's your birthday!" sentiment is from the Card Chatter-Birthday stamp set.  After adding some Triangle Studs, a strip of the Washi Tape on the front of the envelope and on the inside of the card completes the festive look.  Both the Washi Tape and Triangle Studs are included in the Cloud Nine cardmaking kit.   
When you purchase the Cloud Nine cardmaking kit, you receive the supplies and instructions needed to complete two each of these five cards.  The only things you need to add are Lagoon and Sunset inks and your favorite adhesive.  All of the die-cuts are provided in the kit.  However if you would like to cut additional images to coordinate with the Cloud Nine stamp set, they are all available on the Artiste Cricut cartridge.
