Close To My Heart May Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Welcome to the May stamp of the month blog hop. If you are here from Dawn's blog you are in the right place! I'm so glad you are here :)

This is a really fun stamp set this month. You can get this set one of two ways and only in the month of May.

1. Order directly from your CTMH consultant (my website here) or
2. Place a $50 order with your consultant (my website) and get this set for only $5

I decided to make a shaker/flip card for my husband (his birthday is on May 2nd) with this month's stamp set. The stamp I used also reminds me of my dear friend who's father passed away - he used to say "I love you to the moon, stars and beyond"

The top of the card has two different kinds of CTMH washi tape (one of my favorite craft products ever!).

The flap/shaker is created using a flip flap sandwiched between two chipboard frames (these come with the Artbooking Cricut bundle and are also available separately).

Thanks for stopping by! Your next stop on this hop is Pamela's blog. Happy crafting,

April Team Blog Hop

Welcome to the Creatively Redeeming Treasures Team Blog Hop. This month we are doing an "anything goes" themed hop using our favorite Close To My Heart Products. A good friend just had a baby boy so I used my Artbooking cartridge to create this mini album for her. This might also be a good way to share with you all that we found out last week we will be adding a boy to our family this September :)

I used scraps from my Skylark paper pack (this comes in the kit when you join my crafting club/team), flip flaps and cards from the Avonlea Picture My Life kit.

I also used some mini wooden shapes, and frames from the snap shop chip board sheet (comes with the Artbooking cartridge).

For now the Team line up is here Elizabeth Mindemann (you are here) Elizabeth Cammack Angela Kwedor Helen Gullett

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend!! Don't forget you can get your FREE cricut cartridge with Close To My Heart through the end of this month when you join our team :) We would love to have you!!

Close To My Heart Base & Bling Key Ring

I recently had a class on our brand new Base & Bling necklaces and everyone had a blast! In fact these necklaces were so much fun, quick, easy and inexpensive everyone wants to do it again! I wanted to share with you another quick way to use these pieces.

I created a Key Ring for my Father-in-law's birthday gift. The back has one of the stickers from the
Story Teller sheet and then I put a picture of our kids (his only grandkids) in the front.

Super easy this came together in less than five minutes:

Crazy About Cricut Bday Blogaversary Bash Hop

Welcome to the Crazy About Cricut Blog Hop! I'm so excited for my friend Jenny and her FIVE year anniversary blogging about things she loves like paper crafting and the Cricut! I'm a huge fan of hers and am also a tiny bit obsessed with my Cricut machine so I am thrilled to be on this hop celebrating her and her fabulous blog! In addition we are celebrating her 37th birthday! Happy Birthday Jenny!!

If you have arrived from Jessica's blog Craftin And Stampin you are in the right place! If not you can start at the very beginning on Jenny's blog Crazy About Cricut!

Today I've created a Robot themed birthday package including a favor (or birthday gift bag), favor bag topper (can be used as food tags on a food table as well), and a birthday card. The list of supplies used is at the bottom of the post.

First up is the gift bag/favor bag. I used my CTMH Artiste cartridge (love the CTMH cartridges!
Click here to find out how you can get yours FREE this month) to cut the bag out of this super cute chevron paper. Then I added a birthday tag and a colored Robot from the
Robot Family stamp set.

The food tags/favor bag tags were very simple. Just a 4X4 square of pattern paper from the Skylark paper pack folded in half. I added a piece of white cardstock for the words and then a colored robot kit from the same stamp set.

Finally the card. I used a tutorial I found online for a super cute triple slider card that I thought I'd try.

Supplies used: Skylark Paper Pack White Cardstock Pear Cardstock Topiary Chevron Ribbon Robot Family Stamp Set Copic Markers Black Pigment Ink Fundamentals Cardstock (for the bag)
Artiste Cricut Cartridge
