June Calypso Stampers with an Attitude Blog Hop

Hey friends!!! Welcome to the Stampers with an Attitude June blog hop featuring the NEW Calypso paper pack. This month's challenge we could either use Calypso or "beach themed"...which really they go hand in hand. I chose to use Calypso. I think this is one of my new favorites. Every color is so "ME"  If you love this paper pack as much as I do, you'll want to stock up because its only available for a limited time!

If you're joining me from the super talented Melissa's Robinson's blog, you're headed in the right direction. If you got lost, you can definitely start right here and continue the hop! But I do have a full list of all participants at the bottom of the page.

For this month's challenge I used the Calypso paper pack. I decided to keep it simple using a workshop that was created by Susan Williams, who is super talented!! Aren't these cards super cute!! I plan on including a gift card in the THANKS one for my daughter's 2nd grade teacher. 

 I used 2 sheets of Black 12x12 Cardstock and cut it down to a standard size A2 (4.25x5.5) card base. another thing I love about the paper pack is that it comes with Picture My Life pocket cards...LOVE IT. I used the pocket cards for easy, quick assembly on this card. I also used our pink sheet (in the paper pack) and cut it down to mat the polka dot card and used a 1.5" strip behind the HELLO card. I then cut a strip of 1.25" from White Daisy 12x12 cardstock and used our FrameworkAlphabet stamp set with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink (so the ink wouldn't bleed when I colored it in) and stamped "THANKS" and colored them in with our Shin Han markers. I then dove tailed them and popped them up with 3D Foam tape for dimension. I also used the zip strips on the paper back to make 2 tabs that peek out on the top and bottom and additionally on the Hello card. I also ripped the edges so it added texture. I also used our Pixie Extra Thick Twine to add interest to the top of the card and around the HELLO card. For the final touches on the card, I added our Gold Sequins to the THANKS card and I used our Sparkles Clear Assortment on the HELLO card and I hand doodled with a Marvy Uchida LePen Journaling pen. Here's a closer look at both cards:

I have included a full supply for the cards created below. Clicking on the links above for the products will bring you right to them on my CTMH page! As always, thanks for stopping by! Next on our blog hop is the super talented Melinda Everitt. Cant wait to see what she's created this month!

I Love My Dog/Cat Swing Cards

Hey friends!! I am still creating with the FUN Zoe paper packet. One of my favorite card types are swing cards! Close To My Heart  has teamed up with Provo Craft and over the past few years, CTMH has released EXCLUSIVE Cartridges. One of those cartridges is called "Artiste" I love this one because it has a lot of interactive cards, like that Swing card. I created this card in Cricut's Design Space and cut it out using my Cricut Explore Air. Below I will list the products used to create this FUN card. There is also a coordinating stamp set called Love My Cat for all you animal lovers out there! I've included a card I created with that one too below.

Close To My Heart currently has 5 Exclusive cartridges and I must say, I use those the most. You can purchase ANY of the cartridges here. Not only do you get the Cartridges, but you get coordinating stamp sets and cardstock! Its a fantastic deal.

My weekend craft project

Hey everyone!! I just wanted to quickly share with you my craft project of the weekend. If you know me I LOVE LOVE LOVE washi tape and embellishments. BUT how the heck do you store all that stuff? It can get bulky and annoying, lets be honest. So I had seen this tool bin in Pinterest from Harbor Freight and it was PERFECT! BUT it wasn't very pretty LOL It is solid black metal looking. SO I put some subtle bling to it. I spray painted it with 2 coats of Metalic Gold.....jumping on this whole gold bandwagon =) I absolutely LOVE the way it turned out. What do you think?

I went from this:

To this....BAM!

Absolutely love it! 

Don't forget to go to my facebook page by clicking here and "like" it. From there I post a lot of my products that I personally hand make. Until next time friends! Stay tuned for some Close To My Heart projects I am working on!
