If you have just hopped onto my blog, you can start here as this is a circular hop and I am the first stop when you are hopping from the East Coast to the West Coast. If you came from Kristine's Blog then you are in the right place!

For my project I choose to create a layout using Craft On.  I wanted to highlight the colour in in the photo and pulling the Raspberry was a perfect match.  I used the Stitched Flower Thin Cuts for embellishment, and used up some left over letters in my stash as well as the Alphabet Thin Cuts to create my title. The scallop is the reverse of the backgroung paper, and the black and white plaid is the zipstrip from the same page.  The Pink tone on tone with hearts is also from the Craft On collection.  I pulled that colour to create the flowers as well as Lemon Cardstock which is also used to mat the photo.

Your next stop on the Cross Canada Hop is Sheena.

Butterfly Friendship Inside Spinner Card

Yesterday I participated in the Thin Cuts Blog Hop with fellow CTMH consultants. I created an inside spinner card for my project. Once I had it complete I knew that I would be asked how to recreate it, and that I should of made a video to show the process.






















So I set to work getting everything together so that I could create a video to share the process with you all. 

Thanks for coming back to watch!

For this Blog Hop I decided to have some fun and try my hand at an inside spinner card.  I will do a process video to share with you on how to create this fun card.

I used Bluebird cardstock for the base, and the inside of the card is White Daisy Cardstock.  The stamps used on this card is January SOTM, I Heart Us Cardmaking stamp set, and Butterfly Friend ship stamp and thin cut set.  The other Thin cut used was the large circle Thin cut.  I used Bluebird, Carolina, Sweetleaf, Mint, Sage, Raspberry, Canary, Pixie, Charcoal and Black ink to create this card.

Here is a quick video to show how this card works.

Did you know that not only do we have stand alone Thin Cuts, but we have Thin Cuts that are coordinated and bundled with matching Stamp Sets? There are 4 bundles that are geared to coordinate with our paper collections, as well as for bundles that are matched up with Stamps from the annual catalog.  The stand alone Thin Cuts are great for layouts and cards alike.

For this card I used the stand alone Thin Cut "Happy Birthday" Z3340 as well as the small inner piece from the "Hearts" Thin Cut Z3260.  I pulled the colors Seaglass and Sorbet from the Hello Lovely for the cuts. Added the Zip Strip from the pattern paper and added so Gold Gems to finish.

I have 3 children, and 2 of them have birthdays in April, actually on the same day....they will be 13 and 8.  OMG, I will officially have a teenager.  Anyway, I thought I would get a head start on making some treat bags.  So I pulled out the Sweetest Birthday Stamp Set and matching Thin Cuts, CC1220, to decorate the treat bag.

 I decided to try making a shakercard for my blog entry.  I started with the Hearts Thin Cuts to make the opening for the shaking.  I used the Dots Overlay from the All About the Gold Fundamentals Collection to enclose the opening in the Raspberry Cardstock(new color).  I really thought the Lagoon and White Cardstock paired well with the Raspberry and cut more hearts to create the finished card.  I used sequins in Gold, Pacifica and Lagoon shades to create the shake.  The sentiment is stamped in Lagoon Ink and is from the Happy Heart stamp set, and this stamp also comes in 2 other languages, French and Spanish.

Supplies:

Raspberry(X5788), Lagoon(X5762) and White Daisy Cardstock(1385)

Hearts Thin Cuts (Z3260)

All About the Gold Fundamentals (Z3246)

Happy Heart Stamp (A1192)
