Music To The Eyes (Technique Blog Hop)

For the Technique Blog Hop this month, we are using the Music To The Eyes technique featured on page 34 of the Close To My Heart Annual Inspirations book and catalog.

If you arrived from Lisa's Flaunt Your Creativity blog, then follow along with the link at the bottom of this post to continue the Technique Blog Hop.

The Circle Spin Cards from CTMH are 5"x7" and include a focal point die-cut circle that spins! To decorate the front of the card, several different images from the Honeycomb stamp set were stamped using Lagoon, Smoothie, and Honey inks. Then the Marvy Journaling Pen was used to outline each honeycomb shape. Stamping the 'thanks' image from You Mean the World To Me in Black and adding a square of Black cardstock to the inside of the card unites all of the colors.

Please visit Wendy's My Scrapbooking Blog blog for another entry in this month's Technique Blog Hop featuring Music To The Eyes journaling pen technique.

Year >> Noted (National Papercrafting Month)

Welcome to our Year >> Noted Blog Hop, brought to you by the same ladies who participate in the monthly Stamp-of-the-Month Blog Hop. In celebration of National Papercrafting Month, CTMH invites you to reflect on the thigns that make you who you are and on what you want to accomplish in the coming months. With the help of the Year >> Noted paper kit, you can easily record your experiences and goals.

If you arrived here from Heartfelt Sentiments, you are hopping through our circle of Close To My Heart consultants sharing their projects using the Year >> Noted kit.

Using scraps of paper from the Year >> Noted kit, this card was created based on Pattern #28 in Make It From Your Heart Volume 2. The sentiment is found in the You Mean the World To Me stamp set and is embossed with Gold embossing powder. Additional touches of Gold include the Shimmer Trim behind the Zip Strip of arrows, metallic banners from the Year >> Noted kit, and a Gold Metallic Pen used to outline the mat behind the sentiment piece.

During the month of January, with a qualifying purchase of $50, you are eligible to purchase the exclusive Year >> Noted paper kit (retail value $24+) for only $5. Or for an additional $5, you can order the Year >> Noted paper kit with an accompanying My Creations kraft mini book. The paper kit for both options includes a C-size stamp set, stickers, cardstocks, and patterned papers, all specially designed to coordinate with the My Creations kraft mini book so you can have a yearlong scrapbooking experience. Included on the sticker sheet, you will find a large golden seal. Once the year is done and all the pages are filled, seal up your book and create a mini time capsule that you can open years from now.

Please visit Show and Tell, with Michelle to continue along our Blog Hop featuring the Year >> Noted kit.

Irresistible Texture (Technique Blog Hop)

For the Technique Blog Hop this month, we are featuring the "Irresistible Texture" technique shown on page 11 of the Seasonal Expressions supplement from Close To My Heart.

If you arrived from My Scrap Happy Life blog, then follow along with the link at the bottom of this post to continue the Technique Blog Hop.

This card came together quickly using Freshly Made Sketches (FMS166). For an "Irresistible Texture" on this card, I used the new Scallop Embossing Folder. The background of the card is a piece of Pacifica cardstock which has been embossed with the Scallop folder. A 'thanks' sentiment from the You Mean The World To Me stamp set was stamped on a piece of White Daisy cardstock. In order to repeat the scallop, a piece of Black Shimmer Trim was edged using the Scallop punch, and then some Metallic Baker's Twine adds a final touch to the card. Since the Take Heart Ideas blog December Challenge is "anything goes," this qualifies since it uses all CTMH products.
