I did something completely different for this month’s blog hop.  I created a ‘one sheet wonder’ and cut it to make a whole bunch of  cards.  I tried a few different things with these stamps before deciding the detailed flower stamps worked the best to create my sheet of stamped patterned paper.    I  used different stamps from the set to randomly stamp in first and second generation in Blush and Pansy Purple.

Then I cut it up into various sizes and used the pieces to make the following.  I found the initial cut guide on a blog site (I have to add the link here), but then made a bunch of changes as I went.  I also cut the same exact sizes in the Blush and Pansy Purple papers.

In addition to the sentiments on SOTM, I used Joyful Birthday Occassions (B1419) and Card Word Puzzle Occassions (C1494) to stamp the sentiments.  Card Word Puzzle is so versatile!

I’ve said it before but I love to create home decor.  For this blog hop, I created some wine glass tags using ALL of our new paper packs.  Yes they are a small sampling of the papers but I have represented each one in these wine tags.  I purchased some wood tiles from Michael’s (some are like scrabble tiles and some are thin and a little bigger).  I found a suitable section of the paper to decorate the tile and I applied using Liquid Glass (my FAVORITE adhesive! – Z679 $6.95).  I then applied some embellishments and then a nice coat of liquid glass to the top.  Drilled a hole and put in the hoop with a few seed beads.

Here are the wine charms themselves…..first set has embellishments to match the papers (Buzz and Bumble Assortment Z1831 $5.95 and Later Sk8tr Assortment Z1810 $4.95).

And on the glasss…..

I also got some of the new items to use as gift containers for these charms…..

My creations paper pouch small (Z1827 $2.95 for 20)  and the fabulous My Creations Muslin Drawstring bag  (Z1822 $3.95 for 3) .  I stamped both with a new favorite stamp from the Card Chatter Collection – Focus on the Little Things (A1137 $6.95).

Tune in Friday, February 15th for our new product blog hop!  But until then, here are two cards I made last night using two new stamp sets from the Spring/Summer catalog and a sheet of one of my new favorites – Buzz and Bumble !

For the first card, I used the card blank from CTMH called Colonial White Die-Cut Cards (Z1738 $6.95).  I thought it lent a nice feel to this very cool stamp – Card Chatter -A1137 $6.95.  We have several of these card chatter options in this catalog – check them out!

I used our pigment inks and clear embossing powder on the front sentiment.  It looks really cool!

This card above is cut into 6×6 from White Daisy Cardstock.    I used the Honeycomb stamp set (C1537 $13.90) on Buzz and Bumble paper and also pigment inks and clear embossing powder.  I LOVE the possibilities of this stamp set!!!  I am going to try some backgrounds with it soon too!

Be sure to check back on Friday for our blog hop!

I love simple cards.  Sometimes very simple.  So for this set I pictured a card made like a house.  Cut me a pair of 6×6 cards out of white daisy cardstock and made one into…. a house!  I inked up in a little double color and there you have them!  For the square card I used an old butterfly set for the flourishes.

I absolutely LOVE these images and how they stamped, so I tried two different things.  First, I stamped in various colors for which I have marker sets.  I then cut them out to use on my frame.

But, because I love how this stamps all by iteslf, I chose to do a very simple card with two colors in purples!

I must admit, I’m not much for Valentine’s Day (Hubby and I are nice to each other all the time ), but I do love hearts and love    These stamps really inspired me and I love the colors in the paper pack.

I cut some hearts in various sizes about 1/4 inch more than the indicated size on the stamp using Artiste.  I stamped them all using Vineyard Berry and the three heart stamps.  I also chose a stamp to make the background on the first card in Hollyhock.

For these last two I just played with the stamps and ended up with two more fun cards!

I also decided I’d do soemthing a little different on the treat tubes so I created a ‘heart ‘like shape and turned them sideways!  I used the fabulous glitter paper to cut the hearts on the ends and the LOVE out of Artiste – it cut really easily even though it is quite thick!
