Close To My Heart's Roxybonds Scrappers Team Blog Hop Featuring Chantilly!!

Welcome to the Roxybonds Scrappers Team Blog Hop

We will be featuring artwork from the Chantilly Paper Pack (X7163B).  

If you have come here from Amber's Blog, then you are on the right path.

Your next stop will be Jen's Blog.
I had so much fun with this card -- Greetings.  

The card base is cut at 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" from Cotton Candy Cardstock (X5760).

The White Daisy Cardstock (1385) is layered and cut at 5 1/4" x 4".

The tall piece of Cotton Candy is cut at 5" x 2 1/2".

The Chantilly (X7163B) piece is layered and cut at 4 7/8" x 2 3/8".

The medium piece of Cotton Candy is cut at 2 1/2" x 2 1/2".

The Chantilly green piece is layered and cut at 2 3/8" x 2 3/8".

The sentiment Cotton Candy backdrop is cut at 1 1/2" x 2 1/8".

The White Daisy sentiment piece is cut at 1 3/8" x 2".

I used the Corner Rounder (Z578) on all edges.

The flower yo-yo was created by cutting the Chantilly piece at 1" x 6 1/2".  

I then used the Martha Stewart Loops Border Punch along the top.

At each valley I scored it and then accordion folded it.

Glue the ends together, press down in the center and affix a 1" circle to the back with glue to hold it together.

In the center I added an Acrylic Flower from the Claire Assortment (Z1813) with a Glue Dot (1772).

The sentiment was stamped using the set 4 My Friend (D1510) in Cotton Candy Ink (Z2193).

I used the 3-D Foam Tape (Z1151) to pop the White Daisy off of the Cotton Candy.

I then tied Lagoon Baker's Twine from the Baker's Twine Paradise Assortment (Z1702) around it.

This card was completely ME inspired...LOL -- Hip-Hip-Hooray!!

Many times I cardlift someone else's artwork and then modify it to make it mine. This one was completely dreamed up by ME!! WooHoo!!

The card base is cut at 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" from White Daisy Cardstock (1385).
I also punched the following cardstocks using the EK Success 2 Point Flag Punch.

3 x Sunset (X5758),
2 x Twilight (X5666),
3 x Pear (X5764),
3 x Buttercup (1271), and
3 x Cotton Candy (X5760)
4 x Flower Chantilly (X7163B)
2 x Green/Backside of the Flower Chantilly
I used the Quilling Tool (Z1795) to roll the ends of each of the flags to give them some dimension.
For the sentiment I used the Artiste Cricut Collection Banner (Z1790) on White Daisy Cardstock and stamped the Hip-Hip-Hooray image in Cotton Candy Ink (Z2193) using the Artiste Collection Birthday Set (D1529).

I then used the 3-D Foam Tape (Z1151) to pop the White Daisy off the card.
Lastly I added 5 large square rhinestones from the Clear Sparkles Assortment (Z1752).

* * * * * * * * * *
And for my last card I did a simple -- Cheer Up.

The card base is cut at 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" from White Daisy Cardstock (1385).

The green Chantilly is layered and cut at 5 1/4" x 4".
The flower Chantilly piece is layered and cut at 1 3/4" x 4".

The Cotton Candy Cardstock (X5760) is cut at 1" x 4".
I then used the EK Success Double Crochet Lace Edge Punch along both sides and cut it in half.
The Buttercup (1271) Cardstock to back the framed sentiment was created using the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge (Z1686) and cut at 2 1/2".
The sentiment frame piece was then cut on White Daisy at 2 1/4".

The frame was stamped using the set Frame Flair (D1546) in Cotton Candy Ink (Z2193).

The sentiment was stamped using the set 4 My Friend (D1510) in Cotton Candy Ink.

I used the 3-D Foam Tape (Z1151) to pop the White Daisy off of the Cotton Candy.

I then added 3 medium Pink Glitter Gems (Z1807) to the top left and bottom right corners.

Hope you enjoyed my Chantilly Cards.

Keeley's Kreations - Close To My Heart Boards on Pinterest!!

Pinterest is sooooo addicting...LOL.

I tried to hold out as long as I could, but last Spring I dove in with the encouragement from some friends at a retreat.

They told me how time consuming it would be, and man were they right...LOL...but there are sooooo many creative projects and ideas out there.

Currently I have only limited myself to using Pinterest for my Close To My Heart business or boy would I be in trouble...LOL.

I have my main boards with the Stamp of the Month, the Monthly Campaign, the Consultant Kit, CTMH Layouts and Cards.  

I also have other fun CTMH boards like You Tube Videos, Color Combos, etc.

But what I really like is that I have separate Boards set up with TONS of artwork of all of the Current Paper Packs as well as a TON of the Retired Paper Packs.

That way if you have papers that you need inspiration for, you can easily find cards, layouts and home decor items.
