If you have come here from Jennifer's Blog, you are on the right path! The blog hop is a great big circle, so you can start here and work your way all around.  If you get lost along the way, you’ll find the complete list of participating consultants HERE.

This month we have more or less 50 Close To My Heart Consultants sharing their creations using this lovely stamp set - Ice Cream Dream.



Here are my projects...I have two cards!
I used the quote stamp to stamp my background on both cards...



Card 1: I added fussy cut images, colored with Copics/ShinHan markers, with foam tape.


Card 2: Front panel was cut out using Artfully Sent Cricut cartridge. I backed it with tiny polka dots patterned paper (it reminds me of cookies...). I added fussy cut images (also colored with Copics/ShinHan markers) with foam tape. I adhered the panel on card and finished it off with baker's twine.

Now, hop on to Michele's Blog to see her beautiful creation!

Thanks for stopping by!

I used double-sided paper and cut the card and wreath using Artfully Sent Cricut cartridge (CTMH).
I heat embossed the wreath in silver. I added a cream panel, a punched border, some washi tape and stamping to the card.
The birds and banner are heat embossed in clear and popped-up with foam tape. The cake was heat embossed in silver.

I cut both cards using Artfully Sent Cricut cartridge (CTMH).
I heat embossed a few of the "left over" hexagons in gold (and red) and adhered them to the inside of cards.
First up is:



I cut the butterfly using Artbooking Cricut cartridge (it was altered in CCR) and heat embossed it in black UTEE (ultra thick embossing enamel), twice. The second time, I also sprinkled some copper and platinum UTEE.


Now...if you're going to leave the card with the open front like that, I suggest inking or heat embossing the back side of the butterfly for a finished look.
You could also back the die cut front panel with glittered or patterned paper, if you don't want the writing showing.
Another option is to write the message on the back of the card.




Have a nice weekend!!!

I altered a plain mirror from IKEA for a friend, who had a baby girl recently.


I used some old papers from BasicGrey, stamps from Autumn Leaves and Stampabilities, flowers (Recollections and Prima), gemstones, pearls (The Paper Studio), stickers (K&Co.), glitter gel (CTMH), clear embossing powder, and spray (Tsukineko/Imagine Crafts).

Thank you for stopping by!

Happy Saturday, crafty friends!

Today is the day I post for my Project Scrapbooking 26!
If you have "no" time to scrapbook, these 3x4 or 4x6 cards might just be your life saver!

I have 2 pages to share with you:


No embellishments here! Just photos and cards! It takes more time to print the photos, than to put them together! =)
Next time, I'll share some pages with some embellishments...

Have a nice weekend!
