January Hop "Consultant's Choice"

Welcome to the first Blog Hop of 2013!

Our January Hop is featuring a “Consultants Choice”, so each consultant has a unique project to share with you.  I hope that you will take the time to leave comments on our posts, as we love to get feedback from our viewers....whether it was something that you really liked or some new technique that was used that you would like to learn how to do....by leaving us comments, we get to hear what you like, and what you want to see.  Thank you… now on to our hop!

If you have just hopped onto my blog, you can start here as this is a circular hop, but if you want to follow us across Canada then please start at the beginning and join Michelle S. at mycreationswithmichelle.

If you came from "Arlene" of "arlenescreativespace" then you are in the right place!

Here is my contribution:


I had to make 2 sympathy cards.  I find it hard to create those kinds of cards but with some new stamp sets I'm happy with the finished cards.  I used Avonlea Paper which is back in the upcoming Spring/Summer Idea Book.  I like the way the tulip looks like stained glass and I love the flowers stamp on the first card.  I used a crimper for the first time - luv it!

Products used:
  • Colonial White Cards & Envelopes, Value Pack
  • Avonlea Paper
  • Color-Ready Seam Binding Ribbon
  • Smokey Plum Exclusive Inks® Stamp Pad
  • Smokey Plum Exclusive Inks® Marker Set
  • Gypsy Exclusive Inks® Marker Set
  • June SOTM - A Flowering Bunch (sneak peak)
  • Sparkles Brown & Tan Assortment

Your next stop on the Cross Canada Hop is "Krista" of "simplycreatingtogether".

If you get lost along the way, you can head to Michelle S Blog, mycreationswithmichelle, as she has the complete blog list.

Thanks for hopping along with us - we hope we were able to inspire you to create your own projects using some of the designs and paper seen along the way. Join us again in February when we will be featuring a 2 page layout.

I missed joining December's 3D Artiste Christmas across Canada Blog Hop using the Cricut Artiste Cartridge below:
 
 
Check out the blog that I missed:

starting with Darla, out east and coming across Canada.
                     
I was just so busy with everything else, also fighting a crazy cold.  I was sad to have missed the hop.  I finished creating some boxes that my friend used for Christmas gifts, 2 days after the hop was up and running.  This would have been my contribution to the hop:
 

 
 
Materials used:
  • S1210 - Very Merry Christmas - SOTM
  • D1527 - Perfect Fit Frames Flair
  • B1412 - Perfect Fit Holidays Holiday
  • X7162B - Pear & Partridge Paper

  • Z2170 - Ruby Ink

  • Z2160 - Twilight Ink
  • Z2111 - Chocolate Ink

The boxes were cut from the Artiste cartridge as well as the tags.  I did use some red glitter glue that was laying around and the Silver Glitter Gel on the tags.

Thanks for checking out my blog.  Comments make me happy.

Christmas Card Hop

Welcome to our first of 2 Blog Hops happening this month. In this Hop you will find that each consultant has created 3 Christmas Cards using non-Christmas paper! They were given the challenge to create these 3 cards using either cardstock or another paper packet of their choice.  I decided to use the Avonlea Paper Packet for my Christmas Cards.



If you have just hopped onto my blog, you can start here as this is a circular hop, but if you want to follow us across Canada then please start at the beginning and join "Deanne" in NewFoundland at Deanne Stamps. If you came from "Arlene" of Arlene's Creative Space (the person before you in the lineup) then you are in the right place!

Here are my three cards.  I had alot of fun creating these.



Here is a list of the products I used to create these cards:

Here is a closeup of the cards individually:

This one I stamped in Cranberry Ink.  I used the circle punch and punched 3 circles on a 4 x 5  inch piece of paper.  I just made sure they were evenly punched.  I stamped the 4 stamps on paper and then hole punched around the stamped area.  I glued those 3 on the base card.  I used foam adhesive for the 4 x 5 inch piece after tying the hemp around it.  I used the foam adhesive to put the `warmest wishes`on the card.  I inked around the card base in cranberry ink.


I stamped this one in Ruby Ink.  I just made sure that when I cut the various pieces of paper that it equaled the width of the card base.  I used the sparkles to accent some of the snowflakes.

In this last one, I used Ruby ink, again.  The first piece of paper attached to the card base is 3 1/2 in width.  The second piece is 3 inches.  I tied the hemp around both.  I used foam adhesive for the Dec. 25th stamp and I used had fun stamping the snowflakes wherever I wanted.  I inked around the edges to complete the card.


   
I`m all done.  Hope you enjoyed my cards.  Feedback is always welcome.  Your next stop on the Cross Canada Hop is "Carrie" of Scrappin with Carrie.

Here is a complete list of the blog hop in case you get lost along the way:



Thanks for hopping along with us - we hope we were able to inspire you to create your own Christmas cards using some of the designs and paper seen along the way. Join us again on November 15th when we showcase our versions of Advent Calendars.
