Finish It Friday - Final CTMH new product sneek peek (Happy Anniversary/Birthday card)

WELCOME FELLOW CRAFTERS!

It's Finish It Friday. Today, I am continuing with the sneak peaks into the CTMH Sep. 2020 to Aug. 2021 catalog. I wanted to make a couple more cards using the same color pallet from the "Party Time Paper Packet" that I used for the cards in my Monday and Wednesday posts. It may seem like I am on a card binge, because I am. My goal was to finish a Birthday card for every single person on my Birthday list. As fate would have it, the minute I finished the birthday cards three of my friends had wedding Anniversarys. So here I am, working on cards, not scrapbook layouts.

Here are today's cards.

For the cards on the left I used the confetti patterned paper on the layout base, with highlights of nectarine cardstock and raspberry cardstock. For the cards on the right I used the confetti patterned paper on the layout base, with highlights of nectarine cardstock and raspberry cardstock. These are the same patterned papers I used for Monday's cards, just larger pieces of the paper. Hopefully, this will give you a better idea of what the paper looks like when used on a project.

Here is a close up of the 1st card.

It's hard not to love the versatility of the Wishing You Everything Stamp & Thin Cut (Z3779) set. The "HAPPY", "anniversary" and "heart" are all stamped from this set.

Here is the close up of the second card.

You can literally make a card or scrapbook layout for any occasion using this stamp set and paper packet.

Work on it Wednesday - Close To My Heart new product sneek peak (Happy Birthday Layout)

WELCOME FELLOW CRAFTERS!

It's work on it Wednesday. Today, I am continuing with the sneak peaks into the CTMH Sep. 2020 to Aug. 2021 catalog. I wanted to make a scrapbook layout using the same color pallet from the "Party Time Paper Packet" that I used for the cards in my last post!! Later in the week, I will feature cards and layouts using greens, blues and yellows.

Here is the layout.

I used the same pink dot patterned paper on the layout base, with highlights of Lemonade Cardstock and raspberry cardstock. I also used the pink side of the birthday present patterned paper. You would never know the back side of the paper was so blue/green by looking at the layout. It's hard not to love the versatility of this paper packet.

If you look closely at both the patterned paper and the cardstock, you will see I inked the edges with the matching ink color (Raspberry ink and the Lemonade ink) ) to give the layout a little more "pop". A little splash of glitter using a Raspberry Shimmer Brush, add a few stickers and the layout is done....or is it.

The top picture is the right side of the birthday layout and the bottom picture is the left side of the layout. I added the balloons to the top of the picture to be used as a pull tab. Watch what happens when you lift the tab.

I used flip flaps to create a "waterfall" of pictures because I had a series of pictures showing my daughter first discovering the streamers blocking her door, and then her climbing thru them. I wanted to capture the whole memory and no 1 photo did this.

Here is my list of products used to make this layout

Party Time Paper Packer + Sticker Sheet (X8016S - Avaialble Sep 1, 2020
Party Time Coordinating Cardstock (X8016C) - Available Sep 1, 2020
Yellow Acrylic Stars
Raspberry Exclusive Inks
Lemonade Exclusive inks
4" × 6" Flip Flaps™ Memory Protectors™

I know many of you are in the same boat as I am with having so many pictures from a single birthday, and how could I not when it was her 21st birthday?? Check back Friday for one more set of girlie cards berfore I fall head first into birthday layouts with a goal of staying in the moment.
