Three Amigos December 2017 Blog Hop

Welcome to the Three Amigos Blog Hop. We are three Close To My Heart Independent Consultants with a love for stamping and scrapping, and would like to share our creative ideas with you. On the 3rd of each month, we feature a different CTMH product and create a card, layout, or other project. There are only three stops on this hop, so it will only take a few minutes to hop through. When you finish hopping, be sure to check out the Three Amigos Blog Hop Challenge!

This month we are featuring projects using the Silver & Gold Paper Pack (papers or featured colors). The featured colors are Black, Pebble, Pewter, White Daisy, and Gold Foil.

Time doesn't seem to be on my side when it comes to creating things these days. I put together a quick and easy card using two papers from the pack, a little bit of cardstock, ink, some die cut shapes, ribbon, and sparkly embellishments. The card is so pretty in person. It's hard to capture all of the sparkle and shine from the foil and gems.

The black ribbon actually has gold threads running through it. The stars are cut from Gold Foil Paper with the Basic Stars Thin Cuts. I added clear shimmer to the word JOY (you can see it if you zoom in a little). The sentiment is from the WYW Joyful Tidings Cardmaking Kit.

Did you notice the pierced edges on the black cardstock? Our ruler has stitch guide holes for piercing, but it'll be going soon! I pierced around the black panels on the front and the inside.

Thanks for hopping by today! Hop over to Lisa's Blog and Donna's Blog to see what they created for you, then over to the Three Amigos Blog Hop Challenge. We hope you play along!
