With Sprinkles On Top!

Welcome to our Thin Cuts Blog Hop, brought to you by the same ladies who participate in the monthly Stamp-of-the-Month Blog Hop.  Thin Cuts give you a fast and easy way to cut all kinds of shapes for your crafting, and this month they are all available at 25% off!  Choose from titles, sentiments, and a wide variety of shapes to stamp on so you can get precise, dimensional shapes in no time.      

If you arrived here from Crafty Happy, you are hopping through our circle of Close To My Heart consultants sharing their projects using Thin Cuts die cuts.   

The Sugar Rush Cardmaking stamp set has donuts, icing, and sugar-coated sentiments to create a super-sweet card.  Using the coordinating Thin Cuts, I cut some "donuts" out of different colored cardstock and then used the 'sprinkles' patterned paper from the Sugar Rush kit to cut some pieces for icing the donuts. Of course, the 'donut' paper from the Sugar Rush kit is a great background, and a bit of Sea Glass  (color of the year) Glitter Paper added just a touch of sparkle and shine.  The card sketch is Pattern #24 from the Make It From Your Heart Volume 2 how-to book.

A Heartfelt {blot} Thank You

Just a little fun playing with colors from the Color My Heart Color Dare #233, and using the Sketch #311 from Try Stampin' ~or not~ on Tuesday blog.  Wood Slats embossing folder was used to add a bit of texture to the background, and a strip of Sea Glass (color of the year) patterned paper from the Sugar Rush kit creates a nice balance.   

The focal piece is created using different "blot" stamps from the Ink Blot set, along with the challenge colors of Black, Pomegranate, Peacock, and Sea Glass to stamp the decorative blots and sentiment from the Happy Heart set.
