Three Amigos Blog Hop November 2015 Edition

 

Welcome to the Three Amigos Blog Hop!  We are three CTMH consultants and good friends that like to challenge each other every month to create something with Close To My Heart products.  This month's challenge was to use White Pines and or Urban papers (or both) on a project.  Challenge.... HA!

 

I decided to use both!  As you are well aware, I've been making lots of Christmas cards using White Pines paper, Complements and now.... the assortment!  The Urban papers are pretty "neutral" printed papers that really can be used along with so many other papers for either masculine or feminine... or Holiday themes.  I think this might be the most masculine card I've made with it so far...lol... and there is ribbon and sequins on it!  The woodgrain background paper is from Urban and the rest is all White Pines (aside from the Paper Sweeties rusty bell and sequins..but this should not be a surprise..oh!  And the sentiment is from PS Holly Jolly Holiday set).

 

So!  Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to check out what Donna and Susan have in store for you... it's such a short hop... only three stops... check it out!

H2H Polka Dots & Stripes Challenge

This week's Heart 2 Heart Challenge is Polka Dots & Stripes.  I decided to do stripes of polka dots on my card.  I used the Dotty papers and made another Popup Card like my previous umbrella one with a butterfly.  There are really so many different shapes you could use on the inside of these cards... balloons, trees, ornaments, flowers.  Check out all of the rest of the creations at H2H this week!  And to all of my customers who have bought Dotty, don't forget to send a pic of your Dotty creations!

Love Is In The Air!

Have a wedding to go to today.  Made this card for the happy couple using colors that are in the wedding.  I used the Just Blooms flowers and butterfly this time instead of cutting my own.  The scallops are from Art Philosophy.  Used the Color Ready Seam Binding Ribbon but didn't color it along with some baker's twine.  Paper is from Dotty For You.  The colors are Smoothie, Sunny Yellow, Grey Flannel and Grey Wool.  "Congratulations" and the small flourish are from Limited Edition (love that set).  Have to go change and be on my way!  Have a wonderful day!

H2H Flowery Challenge

This week's challenge at Heart2Heart Challenge Blog is April Showers Bring May Flowers.  We are to use flowers in our project.  This card was made with the beautiful Grace papers and this month's Stamp of the Month, Friendship Bouquet.  The ribbon is our Color Ready Seam Binding Ribbon colored with sponge dauber and Honey and Autumn Terracotta inks.  The sentiment is from Wonderful You.

H2H Sketch Challenge

This week the Heart2Heart Blog is having a Sketch Challenge. I used a lot of things I bought a while ago, but hadn't used yet or in a long time. The paper is Mayberry. Stamp sets I used were A Tree, Bunny Love, and Over the Rainbow. Check out the Heart2Heart blog and all the great artwork and play along!

Out Like A Lion?

Well, the end of the month is here along with your chance to get the March Stamp of the Month, Potential, and to get an added bonus, a free Art Philosophy bundle, if you sign up to be a consultant. You have until tomorrow and you can take advantage of these specials by calling me or visiting my website, and the sooner the better!

This card was another we made at Donna's workshop Monday. All of the images are from the Potential set. The paper is from Stella. I colored our Color Ready Seam Binding Ribbon using sponge daubers and ink pads for a sort of tie dyed look. It is so much fun to color this ribbon in whatever color(s) match the project you are using it on!
