PAPER Lanterns are always so IN...

Hello, friends;

CTMH is filling my life with joy…and every time I create something, I feel happy and my days are a lot better! ;0)

I want to share another project I created with the wonderful products that CTMH offers…Lanterns are so in for parties or any other celebrations and I made these using papers from the Halloween and Christmas collections.

 For the Halloween lantern, I used a piece of vellum paper to create an inside cover; when is lit, it looks so pretty! The Christmas lantern is a combination of four pieces of paper together to create a square lantern…have you seen something like this before?

I do like the result and is something different…don’t you think? :0)

These other lanterns were created using extra papers I have left from the Dotty for You Collection:

Paper lanterns can be used by themselves or with battery operated candles [never use flame candles]. You can hang them from strings or use them on tables as decorations.

Lanterns will always be “IN”.

I have a complete tutorial on these three lanterns in my online classes’ site. For more information, please click here: INKing from the Heart…the SCHOOL!

Until next time,

 



Moonlight Scrapbooking Kit

Hello, friends;

Is a new day and I wanted to share a duo of Halloween scrapbook pages that I made using the Moonlight Scrapbooking kit from Close to my Heart.

TO ORDER CMTH PRODUCTS, PLEASE CLICK HERE!!

Of course, I followed the instructions given in the kit, and I have to confess the instructions are clear and so fabulous that you’ll be creating wonderful and amazing scrapbook pages, even if you are a first-time scrapper. 

 Here are my pages:

As you can see, I used a different alphabet stamp set for “boo” and added some other elements to decorate the pages.

 

I added the year, 2013...what was I thinking when I added 2013? I didn’t notice until now…oh, well, now I have to change the year. :0)

Here is the other set of pages I made with the scraps left from the same kit:

I added some extra elements, like the pumpkin, and changed other details:

Hope you enjoyed this post, and if you liked it, don’t forget to leave me a comment.

Until next time,



H2H Rolling Technique

Hello, stampers;

 

What a wonderful morning celebrating one more challenge over at H2H. We had to create a layout or card using the "rolling Technique".

This is my scrapbook page:

Rolling Technique is simple and easy but has a great WOW effect. It adds dimension and depth to a stamped image. You can use this method to shade an image or add additional color.

Here is how to do it:

** Ink your stamp in one color of ink. Use the lightest shade of your chosen inks.

** Take your stamp and "roll" the edges on a second color of ink. I hold the stamp and just roll it so that the edges pick up the extra ink then stamp it. You can also use a dauber/small sponge to ink the edges of the stamp with the darker color.

The rolling technique was applied onto the leaves I'm using on this scrapbook page. I inked each leaf with Autumn Terracotta, Honey, and Pear; then, I used a dauber to ink the edges of the stamp with Chocolate ink. Each leaf was then stamp on Colonial White CS.

 

Hope you like this idea and please, feel free to play along with us this week!

Hope you enjoy this card!

ACORN Boxes

Hello, there;

 

I have to confess that anything related to Autumn, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas are my passion. These are my favorite times of the year and I love to make projects related to these holidays.

Since I joined the CTMH family, I've been having the opportunity to be more creative by using my Cricut and the wonderful cartridges CTMH has available for us.

Today, I want to share these wonderful boxes shaped like acorns using papers from the Clementine Paper Collection:

These set of boxes turn out to be so pretty that I'm planning on making more and have one for each member of my family; then, I will put them on the table during our Thanksgiving dinner.

Here is a close view of the bow...I used the seam binding ribbon from CTMH.

Don't you think CTMH products are wonderful?...they definitely ARE!!! :0)

Fall Background Scrapbook Page

Hello, friends;

I am very happy to share with you a free tutorial on how to create the background for this layout:

I used a combination of the AP and the new Artiste cartridges from CTMH. The background was created using a frame shape in one of the cartridges with four different cardstock colors.

 

To order CTMH, please click here!

 

Here I have more pictures of the layout:

This embellishment was created by making a bow out of burlap ribbon and making cuts along each bow side. The acorn is also from one of the cartridges.

 

The phrase is also cut using one of the cartridges...I like the outcome and hope you like it, too!

 

I have a tutorial available with details and exact measurements of each piece of CS and B&T used for this layout.

 

 

The tutorial is available in English and Spanish; to have access to the tutorial click on the correct language link.
