Zig-Zag Birthday

Love the simple sketch for CAS(E) this Sketch (CTS79). For the repeated design, a zig-zag image from the School Years set is stamped using Honey, Olive and New England Ivy inks. For the fourth color of Color My Heart Color Dare 97, a birthday sentiment from Joyful Birthday was embossed using Outdoor Denim pigment ink and the card base is Outdoor Denim cardstock.

All papers and stamps are from Close To My Heart (CTMH).

Triple Challenge!

This card combines three challenges: a sketch, a color combo, and the number 5. Colors used are Sweet Leaf and Crystal Blue from Color My Heart Color Dare #92, and the sketch is CAS(E) this Sketch #74 (CTS74). Flourish images are found in the Swirls Around stamp set and the sentiment is from Joyful Birthday. To add a bit of texture to the background, a printed paper from the Balloon Ride kit is used. With five colored sparkles, it is a Take 5! for the Heart 2 Heart Challenges blog. Rounding two of the corners is an easy way to create a more "soft" look.

UPDATE: This card was chosen as the Emerald Winner for Color My Heart Color Dare #92!

Honeycomb Birthday

A very simple card, just stamping on a single piece of cardstock - no layers, no embellishing. Using the four colors of Color My Heart Color Dare #90 (Outdoor Denim, Pacifica, Indian Corn Blue and Honey), different shapes from the Honeycomb stamp set were stamped to create a border on the left side of the card. This pattern was also stamped on the inside right of the card for a unified look. A script sentiment from Joyful Birthday was stamped using Honey ink, and the card is complete.

Joyful Birthday, with Damask

For the Technique Blog Hop this month, we are showing different ways to use the embossing folders available from Close To My Heart.

If you arrived from Shirley's "Mom 'n Me Scrap" blog, then follow along with the link at the bottom of this post to continue the Technique Blog Hop.

Inspiration for my project came from CAS(E) this Sketch! (CTS72) nine of the ten colors in CTMH's Adventure palette. After cutting 1"x1" squares of each cardstock and placing on a larger square of Whisper, it was then embossed using the Damask embossing folder. This unifies the colors and almost has a quilted look.

To complete the simple card, the embossed piece was adhered using 3D Foam Tape and a sentiment from the Joyful Birthday stamp set was used.

Please visit Joy's "....Wow....did you make that?" blog for another entry in this month's Technique Blog Hop featuring a the CTMH embossing folders.

A Chevron Birthday (Technique Blog Hop)

For the Technique Blog Hop this month, we are showcasing overlays cut using the Artbooking Cricut cartridge from Close To My Heart.

If you arrived from Shirley's "Mom 'n Me Scrap" blog, then follow along with the link at the bottom of this post to continue the Technique Blog Hop.

This card uses the chevron overlay from the Artbooking cartridge as an accent in the middle of the card. The printed chevron paper is from the Frosted kit and the sentiment is included in the Joyful Birthday stamp set. Cubes & Colors card sketch from the Originals book was inspiration for the design.

Please visit my good friend "Show and Tell, with Michelle" blog for another entry in this month's Technique Blog Hop featuring overlays from the Artbooking cartridge for Cricut from Close To My Heart.
