Boutique and Mix-Ins Thanks Card

One of the newest (and prettiest) papers in the new CTMH Seasonal Expressions catalog is called Boutique. I used the colors and a few of the patterned papers from the Boutique collection, a few of the Boutique Compliments, and some of the new Seasonal Mix-Ins papers to create this 6" x 6" card. 

The Seasonal Mix-Ins papers come in a smaller packet and include patterns and colors that coordinate with each one of our new paper suites. The woodgrain, saffron striped, and glacier background papers are all from the new Mix-Ins pack.

The scallop squares were cut from Charcoal cardstock using an image form the Artbooking Cricut cartridge. I popped up every other square with some Thin 3-D Foam Tape. The "thanks" sentiment is cut using an image from the Flower Market Cricut cartridge. 

I'm loving the color combo in the Boutqie collection and can't wait to play with it more! 

September Project Kit - Bunches of Love Boxed Card Kit

This month's project kit is a boxed card set using the new Bunches of Love stamp set and the new color of the year called Sugar Plum. You will create 12 cards (2 each of 4 designs) with a faux watercolor look and a custom designed gift box to store them. This boxed set would make a great gift.

I am excited to be able to offer local classes again. The local class this month will be held on Thursday, September 20th at my house at 7pm. (If you are unable to attend but would still like a kit, you can either choose the “shipped” option at checkout and I will mail the kit to you or if you are local, you may choose the “local” option and I will drop it off or you can pick it up.)

Bunches of Love Boxed Card Set basic kit is $36 and includes the following:

• Bunches of Love stamp set
• Package of self-adhesive White Pearls
• (12) 4¼" x 5½" white cards and envelopes
• Pre-cut cardstock
