Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop - Online Exclusives

 

Welcome to July's Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop! This month we are focusing on products in our Online Exclusives!

I chose to use the beautiful Floral Charm Suite Collection from the Online Exclusives just released in July! From this suite, I used the Charming Day Stamp Set for the sentiment, the Floral Charm 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper, and the Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots.

I've used the mosaic strips technique on previous cards with various patterns of paper, but this is the first time I've used it with one pattern cut into various angled strips! Cardstock used was Thick Basic White, Petal Pink and Pretty Peacock.

The ribbon is the Petal Pink 3/8" Scalloped Ribbon which is currently on sale in our Last Chance Products!

The sentiment is stamped in Versamark ink and heat embossed in white from the Basics WOW! Embossing Powder. It was punched out with the Labeled With Love Punch.

I finished with 3 Petal Pink dots from the Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots.

AWOW Blog Hop - Tic Tac Toe

 

Welcome to this month's Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop! We are celebrating our 5 year anniversary with a series of "team member focus" blog hops where we are CAS(e)ing a different team member each blog hop. Our team member focus this month is the fabulous Aurélie Fabre!

Our theme this month is Tic Tac Toe. We chose a line from the following and I chose texture, line and bold.

I was inspired by Aurélie Fabre's card here which has texture, lines and a bold black & white colour scheme with a touch of gold.

My card is much simpler but still has the texture from the brand new Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder, the lines from the Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder on the Basic Black strip, and the black & white colour scheme with a touch of gold!

The flower and the "hello" were die cut using the Circle of Season Dies, available to Paper Pumpkin subscribers, in Gold Foil and Basic White Cardstock. I cut three layers of the "hello" and glued them together to give it some depth.

I dragged a Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad across the Basic White layer which had been embossed with the sunflowers.

I topped off the gold flower with a Neutral Matte Dot in black!
