Sorry it's been so long since my last post. We had a lot going on this summer, and I had to put a few things on hold. I'm trying to get back into the swing of things and hope to share more often.</span><div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">New <a href="https://paper-menagerie.closetomyheart.com/ctmh/products/online-idea-book.aspx" target="_blank">Annual and Seasonal Idea Books</a> launched on September 1st with lots of crafty goodness. Have you seen the new <a href="https://paper-menagerie.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=12512" target="_blank">Layered Leaves Thin Cuts</a>? Love, love, LOVE them (and pretty much all things leafy!) I decided to join the fall card bandwagon with this creation.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was inspired by a card in an email I received from Pinterest, but must have deleted the email and can't find the pin. Sigh. Anyway, I loved the color combo and the use of the leaves, so I decided to make something with CTMH products. I pulled out cardstock in <a href="https://paper-menagerie.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=10251&ci=8970" target="_blank">Saffron</a>, <a href="https://paper-menagerie.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=10250&ci=8968" target="_blank">Fern</a>, <a href="https://paper-menagerie.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=10248&ci=8964" target="_blank">Peacock</a>, and two new colors, <a href="https://paper-menagerie.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=12468&ci=15115" target="_blank">Paprika</a> and <a href="https://paper-menagerie.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=12463&ci=15105" target="_blank">French Vanilla</a>. The sentiment is from a very old stamp set, <a href="https://paper-menagerie.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=3794" target="_blank">Say It in Style</a>, that returned in the core Idea Book. I love that I can use stamp sets from my collection instead of watching them collect dust. As a matter of fact, I pulled out two other "oldies" to use on this card.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I embossed the Vanilla Cream background with the retired Wood Slats embossing folder. I am in love with the new <a href="https://paper-menagerie.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=12463&ci=15105" target="_blank">French Vanilla Cardstock</a>! I think it might become my go to "white." After I stamped the Paprika and Fern Leaf images from the retired Autumn Splendor stamp set, I used the same stamps to apply a bit of tone on tone texture to the open die cut leaves. You can find similar leaf images in the <a href="https://paper-menagerie.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=12903&ci=15198" target="_blank">Hawthorn- Scrapbooking stamp set.</a> I used <a href="https://paper-menagerie.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=12583" target="_blank">Goldenrod Stickles</a> for the flower centers, and added a small amount of <a href="https://paper-menagerie.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=12123" target="_blank">Gold Embellishing Thread</a> behind the flowers.</span></div>

We are three friends with a love for stamping and paper crafting, and would like to share our creative ideas with you on the 3rd of each month. 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 </span><a href="http://threeamigosbloghopchallenges.blogspot.com/" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">Three Amigos Blog Hop Challenge</a><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Our June challenge is anything with wings. The Wild & Punny stamp set has the cutest little animals with coordinating sentiments. I couldn't resist using the flamingo with a cluster of balloons.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I used ShinHan Touch Twin markers to color in the flamingo. The balloons are from the Party Balloons stamp set. After stamping the outlines and solid colors, I heat embossed the designs with silver embossing powder.</span></div>

We are three friends with a love for stamping and paper crafting, and would like to share our creative ideas with you on the 3rd of each month. 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 </span><a href="http://threeamigosbloghopchallenges.blogspot.com/" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">Three Amigos Blog Hop Challenge</a><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Our May challenge is anything with a food or drink theme. This challenge was the perfect opportunity to pull out the new My Cup of Tea Stamp + Thin Cuts. I pulled in a couple papers from the Craft On and Mix-In paper packs and new sequins to make a shaker card.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The teacup and sentiment are stamped with Charcoal Ink and embossed with clear powder to create the backdrop for the shaker window. I use the coordinating Thin Cut for the window and added Rose Gold Sequins for shaker elements.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I added a couple strips of the patterned paper, another fussy cut flower, and a few sequins to finish the inside.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It's time to celebrate all things SPRING at Three Amigos! Winter still wants to taunt us with chilly temps here in MI, so I can use a dose of spring in my studio. With the help of the beautiful April SOTM, Love So Sweet, I was able to create a sweet card for someone I love.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I am in love with that gorgeous butterfly! In fact, I think I might make several more just to have on hand. I attached the butterfly body to the sentiment panel, allowing the wings to bend up slightly. The vellum creates a softness and allows the background colors to peek through the wings.</span><br />

We are three friends with a love for stamping and paper crafting, and would like to share our creative ideas with you on the 3rd of each month. There are only three stops on this hop, so it will only take a few minutes to hop through.

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We have a rainbow challenge going on at Three Amigos this month. I pulled out my rainbow of ink colors (Blossom, Smoothie, Saffron, Lagoon, Carolina, Pansy), a stencil, and texture paste to make a quick card.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUvyEbDpveBl8R_t03VgQhctb-9CxErPCiAsQFV95yJnl9lWtxhf8LUi7HOXMYCftJ6o3voimFoAGPBSSyU-ossYVTJ1y-3QwHg35apFVuw6fuhzmPFi18huaE6nxe9WwFq6OjGPuOrdND/s1600/TABH+24.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUvyEbDpveBl8R_t03VgQhctb-9CxErPCiAsQFV95yJnl9lWtxhf8LUi7HOXMYCftJ6o3voimFoAGPBSSyU-ossYVTJ1y-3QwHg35apFVuw6fuhzmPFi18huaE6nxe9WwFq6OjGPuOrdND/s400/TABH+24.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The texture paste gives the leaves dimension on the card. I purposefully spread the paste unevenly toward the outer leaves to add even more texture and interest. The ink colors were sponged on through the stencil after the paste dried. I added sparkle with the clear shimmer brush. The camera doesn't do the shimmer justice! I used the new Stitched Rectangle Frames Thin Cuts to cut the card front, and popped up the center portion with foam tape.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I tried several different stamp sentiments before settling on a die cut. To make the sentiment stand out against the busy background, I covered it with Liquid Glass and placed a die cut vellum circle behind it. Since the sentiment covered up the center of my leafy medallion where the Pansy Ink was sponged, I added a piece of Thistle ribbon from the retired Whimsy Ribbon Pack.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The flowers are die cut from a combination of a stitched scallop edge die and a stitched oval die.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We have a fun challenge this month...Shaped Cards! My yummy card was created using a large cupcake die and scraps from the Something Fierce paper collection in the new <a href="https://paper-menagerie.closetomyheart.com/ctmh/products/online-idea-book.aspx" target="_blank">Seasonal Expressions Idea Book</a>. I cut the card base from Ballerina Cardstock, then built the cupcake on top. The cherry hides the card fold.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I grabbed an old scrap of textured white daisy cardstock to cut the icing and backed the sprinkles with colorful scraps from the Something Fierce Paper Packet. If you look closely, you can see some of the patterns peeking through. I added Liquid Glass to each sprinkle to give it some shine. The cherry is adorned with a small </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Silver Embellishing Thread </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">bow and a Sugarplum Glitter Gem. The cupcake wrapper is cut from the light side of Mink Cardstock and stamped with Mink Ink using an image from the Years of Sweetness Stamp set to create a subtle design. I backed the wrapper with the dark side of the Mink Cardstock and added a touch of sparkle with the Clear Shimmer Brush.</span></div>

There are only three stops on this hop, so it will only take a few minutes to hop through.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This month's theme is anything Halloween or Fall. I decided to create some shaker fun with the leafy frame image in the Grateful Heart- Scrapbooking stamp set.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I stamped the frame image onto the light side of Almond Cardstock with VersaMark ink and heat embossed with the new Ranger Copper Tinsel Embossing Powder. Oh my! The tinsel embossing powders create a gorgeous glittery shimmer! The copper color is perfect for a fall card. I picked up a tiny bit of ink with a water brush to add a splash of color to the leafy images, then fussy-cut out the center of the frame to create my shaker window. The little confetti hearts were cut with the new Shaker Window & Confetti Thin cuts from a scrap piece of cardstock that I embossed with the Copper Tinsel Embossing Powder before running through the Cuttlebug. The sentiment is from the Boutique- Scrapbooking stamp set.</span></div>

I don't have a setup to video the process, so I'll try to explain the best I can in writing. If you haven't seen the card I posted earlier this week, you can see it <a href="http://paper-menagerie.blogspot.com/2018/09/three-amigos-blog-hop-challenge-18.html" target="_blank">here</a>. I think I like today's version better, only because I LOVE the Grateful Heart papers and colors!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You might need to click on the picture to enlarge it so you can see the lines. Dash lines are scored. Solid lines are cut.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1. Start with a base cut at 5" x 12"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">2. With the 12" side at the top, score at 3", 4 1/2", 7 1/2", and 9". Make a pencil mark on the top and bottom of the base at 1 1/2" and 10 1/2"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">3. On the 5" sides, make a pencil mark at 2 1/2". Cut at a diagonal from the 2 1/2" pencil mark to each of the 1 1/2" pencil marks (left side of card base). Repeat on the right side of the card base, cutting diagonally from the 2 1/2" pencil mark to the 10 1/2" pencil marks. This should create two points on each end of the base.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">4. With the 12" side at the top, score diagonally (top to bottom, and bottom to top) from each 1 1/2" pencil mark to each 4 1/2" score line (left side of base). This should form an "X". Repeat on the right side of the base, scoring diagonally from each 10 1/2" pencil mark to each 7 1/2" score line.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now you are ready to add patterned papers (B&T) to the base. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Large Diamond Layers (cut 2): 2 3/4" X 4 3/4". Mark center of each side and cut into diamond shape. You may need to tweak the angles a bit to match the angles on the base.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Small Triangles (cut 4): 1 1/4" x 2 1/8". Cut two of them diagonally from the top right corner to the bottom left corner. Cut the remaining two diagonally from the top left corner to the bottom right corner. (This is especially important with paper that has a directional pattern).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Center: Mat cut 2 3/4" x 4 3/4" and B&T cut 2 5/8" x 4 5/8".</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I recommend adding the B&T papers before folding the card base. It's easier to align and center them.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Folding the base:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mountain fold at the 3", 4 1/2", 7 1/2", and 9" score lines.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Valley fold the diagonal "X" lines.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hold the base with the left point at the top. Gently push the 3" mountain fold toward you (the diagonal valley folds should collapse the side of the card into a diamond shape). Then fold back on the 4 1/3" mountain fold. Burnish all of the fold lines. Repeat on the right side of the base.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

We are three friends with a love for stamping and scrapping, and would like to share our creative ideas with you on the 3rd of each month. 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 </span><a href="http://threeamigosbloghopchallenges.blogspot.com/" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">Three Amigos Blog Hop Challenge</a><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This month we are making projects featuring Fun Folds. I put together a double diamond fold card using some awesome new products in the <a href="https://paper-menagerie.closetomyheart.com/ctmh/products/online-idea-book.aspx" target="_blank">2018 Holiday Expressions Idea Book</a>. The finished card fits in a 6x6 envelope.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This card highlights three B&T designs from the new Boutique Paper Packet. I cut two tags using our new Thin Cuts- Fancy Tags set, and added "stitch lines" to the bottom of the Glacier tag using the new Thin Cuts- Decorative Borders set. The top tag is stamped with images from the Bunches of Love stamp set using Glacier and Peach inks. New Silver Glitter Gems, Mink Twine, and Silver Embellishing Thread finish off the design.</span></div>

This week's challenge is to use only </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Glacier, Mink, and Bashful</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">. You may also use </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">White Daisy and Black, but please do not add additional colors.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Before I left for convention, </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I was playing around with the Nights of Lights stamp set</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">and loved this color dare combo with the images that look like fireworks. I layered the three colors using the three different image sizes to create my own background. The stamped background is layered onto a die-cut Galcier panel, then adhered to a Mink top-folding card base.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you look closely, you can see that I stamped hearts onto the White Ribbon using the In My Heart WYW stamp set and Bashful ink. I also added a touch of pink to the Clear Sparkles using the Tender Pink ShinHan Touch Twin Marker. The inside has another Glacier die-cut panel, but no other embellishment yet (hence, no photo).</span><br />

Since I just returned from CTMH convention, I decided to combine both challenges into one project to save my sanity. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; text-align: center;">The July Three Amigos Challenge is Embossing! Create something using at least one form of embossing... dry, heat, paste... you decide! Or use them all! The Color Dare Challenge is to use only Mink, Bashful, and Pacifica on your project. You may add White Daisy and/or Black, but no other colors.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">While I was perusing the new Idea Book we received at convention, I spotted a card that became my inspiration for today's challenges. I used Paqcifica Cardstock to create a top-folding card base. After embossing the White Daisy panel with the Dot Embossing Folder, I added a bit of Mink Ink to some of the raised areas. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Bashful strip looked a little flat, so I made it shimmer with the Bashful Shimmer Brush. I used our Circle and Stitched Circle Thin Cuts to create the sentiment piece.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Flowers were the first thing that came to mind when I saw this challenge. I tried to think outside the box to come up with something different, but wasn't thrilled by my attempts. So, flowers it is. I pulled out my Make It From Your Heart, Vol. 4 pattern book, a B&T paper from the Fresh Air Paper Packet, the Documented- Cardmaking Stamp + Thin Cuts set, and a few scrap pieces of cardstock to get started.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I stamped all of my images with New England Ivy ink and added color to the flowers using a dry waterbrush and a bit of Blossom ink from the lid of my pad. If you look closely, The Linen panel is stamped tone-on-tone using the Splash of Color stamp set. I replaced the rectangular sentiment panel with die-cut circles, slightly offsetting them for added interest. I showcased the flower near the sentiment by adding a few pieces of the New England Ivy Burlap Ribbon. Clear Sparkles and Silver Foil Paper add lots of sparkle and shine.</span></div>

I know Lisa said I was on vacation, but it was more like a staycation. My dad was visiting for two weeks at the end of May (he surprised me by giving me one days notice that he was coming a week early!) He left on the 3rd, but as luck would have it, I was sick in bed the entire week after. It has taken me until now to recoup. I'm still not caught up, but I missed my studio and decided to make this card. June's challenge is to use machine die cutting (Cricut, Brother, Silhouette, Big shot, Cuttlebug, or whatever machine you use).</span><div>

You won't want to miss out on the great deals this month! I love that CTMH grouped color families into cardstock bundles for this sale.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I die cut chevron shapes from each of the blue colors, then stacked them on a white panel. The panel is raised off of the card base with a piece of white craft foam. The sentiment is from the Stamp Set included in the Cricut Flower Market Collection. I added a few Bitty Sparkles (also on sale this month, and a must have for your stash) around the sentiment.</span></div>

This week we are challenging you to create something using only Toffee, Juniper, and Pomegranate with Gold as an optional add on</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">. You may also include </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">White Daisy and Black, but please do not add any other colors.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It's been a while since I've been able to get into my studio. My dad came to visit for 10 days, then I ended up sick in bed for another 4 days. I'm still not feeling 100%, but I was feeling too restless to stay in bed. I put this card together fairly quickly when you subtract the breaks I had to take to rest.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I used the new Thin Cuts- Stitched Circles dies to cut an assortment of circles from Juniper and Pomegranate Cardstock, making sure the side of cardstock I wanted showing (I used the light side) faced the cut edge of the die. I drew three light pencil lines on the left side of a Toffee cardstock panel (light side cut 1/4" smaller than the card base) and began arranging the circles. Once I was happy with the design, I lightly adhered each circle in place, poked holes using the Stitch Ruler and Piercing Tool, and hand sewed them into place with two strands of the White Twine. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I dug through my embellishments and found retired sequins from Dreamin' Big and No Worries that matched the Juniper and Toffee colors perfectly. I wish I could have found a match for the Pomegranate as well. I'll have to keep digging. The sentiment is stamped with Juniper Pigment Ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.</span><br />

You get to choose colors from a Tic-Tac-Toe board using the Close to My Heart color palette from the featured paper pack of this month "Beautiful Friendship." You </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129;">MUST use and identify the three colors in a row of your choice; however we will allow any or all other colors from the Challenge Board to be included.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;"> I chose to use a diagonal of colors from the bottom left up to the top right, Bashful, Smoothie, and Canary</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;">.</span><br />

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">My card came together quickly and easily thanks to one of our new Thin Cuts- A Big Thank You. To incorporate all of the challenge colors, I sponged a panel of White Daisy Cardstock with Bashful, Blossom, and Canary inks. I die cut the thank you image from Bashful Glitter Paper to add a bit of sparkle to the card without overwhelming the design, and backed it with my sponged piece. </span></span></div>

This week's challenge is to use only Bashful, Canary, </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">and Linen. You may also include </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">White Daisy and Black, but please do not add any other colors.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I stared at the three challenge colors for quite some time trying to decide which direction I wanted to take for my card. My original idea just wasn't working for me, so I went with "plan b." The soft colors in this challenge are perfect for clean and simple cards. I decided to focus on the Bashful and Linen, and use Canary as an accent.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Rose Embossing Folder adds subtle texture to the Linen panel while allowing the Bashful Glitter butterfly to remain the main focal point. I backed the die cut butterfly with Canary Cardstock, adding a layer of vellum in between to soften the yellow. I tried not to use black on this card, but the challenge colors were too light for the sentiment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">To add a bit of dimension to the butterfly, I adhered the body directly to the card panel and used Thin 3-D Foam Dots under the top portion of the wings. Sparkles accent the body and sentiment.</span><br />

We are three friends 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 </span><a href="http://threeamigosbloghopchallenges.blogspot.com/" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">Three Amigos Blog Hop Challenge</a><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Our theme this month is May Flowers, and the new Beautiful Friendship suite fits the theme perfectly. I knew I wanted to use a large focal image on my card, so I decided to highlight the Beautiful Friendship Cardmaking Stamp Set today. I found the perfect pattern to showcase the teapot in the Make It From Your Heart, Vol.4 how-to book.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I stamped the teapot with Sapphire Ink onto the lace doily B&T paper and used the coordinating Thin Cuts to cut it out. For added dimension, I cut two more teapot shapes from White Daisy Cardstock and layered them together. The teapot is popped up on a strip of Bashful Cardstock that I scored every 1/4" and lightly inked. See those sequins? They have been sitting in my stash since my early days with CTMH. I've decided to make more of an effort to incorporate some of the old with the new to use it up.</span><br />

You get to choose colors from a Tic-Tac-Toe board using the Close to My Heart color palette from the featured paper pack of this month "Gimme Some Sugar." You </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129;">MUST use and identify the three colors in a row of your choice; however we will allow any or all other colors from the Challenge Board to be included.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;"> I chose to use the third column of colors, Bashful, Mink, and Blossom</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;">.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;">I created an ombre effect using the light and dark sides of Blossom and Bashful Cardstock and a couple stitched border dies. The layers created a clean and simple card with a dramatic feel.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I wanted the waves of color to be the star of the show on this card, so I chose a small sentiment (stamped with Mink Ink and accented with Clear Shimmer Brush). A small border of Black Cardstock makes the pink colors pop.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I actually made this first card back in January while I was on a scrap and chat call with my good friend in California, but forgot to share it here.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The wreath and sentiment are stamped with Charcoal Ink on the light side of Linen Cardstock. I painted the flowers and leaves by picking up ink (Glacier and Sweet Leaf) with a water brush and applying it to the image. Bitty Sparkles adorn the centers of each flower. I used the Thin Cuts- Basic Circle Tags to die cut the images and tied them to the ribbon with a strand of twine.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A couple days ago, a friend of mine and her daughter came over to make Mother's Day cards. I used the bulk B&T Gimme Some Sugar paper from the You Are More Cardmaking WYW Kit and the same pattern to design a sample card.</span></div>

This week's challenge is to use only Lagoon, Mink, </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Peacock,</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> and Silver is required. You may also use </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">White Daisy, but no Black this time.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When I pulled out my Mink Cardstock, I immediately thought of the adorable elephant in the Sweet Baby stamp set. I stamped him with Mink Ink on the light side of the cardstock, cut him out with the coordinating Thin Cuts, and started designing a card around him. He looked a little lost on the White Daisy panel, so I added a </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">festive texture with the </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Confetti Embossing Folder. The white panel is matted with Silver Foil Paper and adhered to a Peacock card base.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I stamped three of the balloon designs with Peacock Ink on Lagoon cardstock, then accented them with the Silver Metallics Pen. The Happy Day sentiment is from the Short & Sweet stamp set.</span></div>

We are three friends 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 </span><a href="http://threeamigosbloghopchallenges.blogspot.com/" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">Three Amigos Blog Hop Challenge</a><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; text-align: center;">This month's challenge is April Showers! With rain, and possibly even snow, in our forecast, spring projects are very welcome. The Cricut Artistry cartridge contains a very cool raindrop background cut and an umbrella image to coordinate with it. I created a 6x6 card using some retired White Daisy textured cardstock that I've been <strike>hoarding</strike> saving for just the right occasion. I backed my raindrop cut (also from textured cardstock) with a piece of Lagoon B&T paper from the Adventure Fundamentals Paper Pack.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; text-align: center;">The umbrella is pieced together using Heather Cardstock, B&T from the Gimme Some Sugar Paper Pack, and Bashful Glitter Paper. I added a bit of Clear Shimmer Brush to the Heather part of the handle so it would sparkle like the glitter paper.</span><br />

You get to choose colors from a Tic-Tac-Toe board using the Close to My Heart color palette from the featured paper pack of this month "Stargazer." I chose to use the first column of colors, Sapphire, Pacifica, and Canary, with a splash of Poppy.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Keeping it fast and simple this time by using a Picture My Life card from the Summertime set, a bit of paper from the Stargazer Paper Packet, and the Birthday Time Stamp of The Month set. The PML card had the Sapphire and Pacifica dots on it with a sentiment in the center that said "Sweet Summertime." I used my Circle Thin Cuts to cut that sentiment off (I can save it to use on a layout) and replaced it with the Party Time sentiment from the SOTM. I thought the blues and yellow could use a splash of red, so I added a small strip of Poppy striped paper and a few Poppy Enamel Dots.</span></span><br />
