This is my most favorite paper from the 2011 Fall/Winter Idea Book!  After completing the pages and cards, I just keeping looking at them because they are so beautiful.  I was excited about this pack because we had just taken family photos (doesn’t happen very often) and I knew they would go perfect with this paper pack!  The above layouts are from the workshop.  I swapped out the background on the one and used Olive Cardstock and used the backside of the B&T that I was supposed to use to create the layouts below.  I used paper and embellishments that were leftover from the workshop and bonus project materials.

Come back tomorrow to see the beautiful cards that you can create as the bonus project to this workshop.

The Sharing from the Heart Blog Hop is a mixture of Close to My Heart consultants and customers who have come together to share their projects.  The hop makes a circle so if you have started here, just continue until you make your way back.  If you are coming from Diana’s blog, then you are on the right path.

This month’s theme choices were: SOTM, Christmas card, and/or New Years.

I chose the Christmas card theme.  Since I have used up all of the paper from the current Believe Paper Packet, I pulled out an older one for this project.  I had scraps left from the Mistletoe Paper Packet and decided that I would make cards until it was gone.  Then I dug into my stash of Christmas embellishments to see what I could use up there.  It’s amazing how far scraps can go!

Supplies used: Close to My Heart Mistletoe Paper Packet, Holiday Time stickers by Walmart, Stampin’ Up! grosgrain ribbon, CTMH Twinkle Brads – Jolly, decorated slide mount from a swap, printed ribbon from my stash, Kaiser Pearls, Teresa Collins for Junkitz Holiday Tilez, and CTMH Cranberry Ink, and CTMH Colonial White Value Pack Cards & Envelopes.  Card inspiration from Page Maps.

All the cards:

Welcome to the November 2011 Close to My Heart Spotlight Blog Hop!  This month we are embossing!  There are different types of embossing (dry or wet).  Normally, when I think of embossing it’s the technique I used below where you use embossing powders, a type of wet (slow-drying) ink, and a heat gun.  There is also dry embossing where you use a stylus or fancier embossing folders to create a raised look on your paper.

This blog hop is a circle so if you are just starting, continue until you make your way back here.  If you are coming from Tamatha’s Blog, you are on the right track!

Supplies used are all Close to My Heart unless otherwise noted: Black Cardstock, Baby Pink Cardstock, Baby Pink Embossing Powder, Silver Embossing Powder, Versamark Ink, Key to My Heart stamp set, and Love Always stamp set.

I do not emboss very often but I do like the look of it.  This card has a very elegant look and only took minutes to make.

Thanks for stopping by!  Your next stop is Elizabeth’s Blog!
