Hello, friends;

 

All the good things always have an end; this is the last week of my participation as part of the DT for the Heart 2 Heart Challenges Blog...and this is the last challenge for this month.

 

New year will come full of surprises and good things; the H2H Blog will have a new DT and new challenges will be available to motivate you every week.

I had a wonderful time creating for you something new every other week; hope you keep visiting my blog once my term is over.

Snowman Card for Paper Players

Hello, friends;

 

I've been working in different projects, tutorials, and cards for this Holiday season. I was blogging around and found out the challenge over at The Paper Players' Blog.

 

 We had to make a card or project with a snowman included.

Here is my card:

I cut the word snow using the Artiste cartridge from Close to my Heart at 1-3/4" on White Daisy CS. Adhere that piece of CS over another piece of design paper.

The snowman used is from the Flakey Friends from CTMH, too.

The embossing folder is from SU!
This is a very simple card, so you can make few in no time. Is a pretty card and perfect for either adults or kids.

The letters I have left after cutting "snow" were used to make this other card:

As you can see, everything was used and nothing was wasted.

 

Thanks for visiting and have FUN creating!

Stamp the image using both colors, Blush and Chocolate; cut them in half. Cut in half two Blush and two Chocolate Banner5; keep the other four Blush Banner5 for later.

Adhere the stamped images as pictured, by mixing the colors with the half of the matching Banner5. Adhere the completed piece on a Blush Banner5, from those you have left.

 

Once you cut the butterflies, make dots using a white gel pen.

Rock-n-Roll Technique

Hello, stampers;

 

Using different techniques in your artwork is what really makes a difference.

 

I'm sharing with you a video from Close to my Heart on how to use the rock-n-roll technique to make your creations looking G*O*R*G*E*O*U*S.

 

Enjoy and have FUN creating!

H2H Glitter Challenge

Well, hello there;

I hope each of you had a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving Celebration with family and friends.

 

I had a great time with my family but also spent the majority of my weekend remodeling and getting my craft room ready...I will have pictures when I finish it :0)

 

But, I do have some photos to share with you today. As you know, every Monday we have a challenge to complete over at the H2H Challenge Blog.

 

For today, we had to make anything using glitter.

 

Here is my triangle box:

The box was made from Cranberry CS @ 5-1/2" size [5.5 as stated in the booklet] using the new ARTISTE cartridge from CTMH. I cut a second box from the Pear & Partridge B&T. I put the Cranberry box together; then, from the second box made using the  Pear & Partridge paper collection, I cut 1/4" from one side and from the bottom edge of each panel to make them a bit smaller and use them to enhance the beauty of this box.

 

The glitter paper used in this box is not from CTMH. I sponged the edges of the glitter strip with Chocolate ink.

 

The poinsettia was made as follow:

Use the AP cartridge <STAR2> on page 25 and cut the following sizes: 2-1/2", 2-1/4", 2", and 1-1/2" from vellum cardstock [non CTMH]. Then, cut the LAYERS for the same <STAR2> in the same sizes from Cranberry CS. Adhere as pictured; to put the poinsettia together, adhere each size using foam tape.
