Hexagon cards




Hello! Hello! 

I am so excited for the new CTMH products.  The catalog becomes official in 3 days!!  For my monthly club projects in August, we will be using three of the new stamp sets.  They are the Happy Hexagons, Honeycomb and Your Own Kind of Wonderful sets.  I have decided to use the new Whimsy color palette as well- nice and bright and summery! :). These stamp sets work well with the Cricut Artbooking cartridge.  I didn't cut any of the hexagons out using scissors.  I simply selected the size listed on the stamp set and pressed "Cut."

The first card above will be one that I do for my card clubs.  The second one is an experiment with autumn colors.

I am entering them into the Heart2Heart "Some Like It Hot" challenge, because I love these new HOT products :).

Thanks for stopping by.  Hope you got some crafty inspiration! -Dari

Believe in yourself card



Hello! Hello!  I am participating in the Freshly Made Sketches 146 challenge this week.  The minute I saw this sketch I had ideas flowing into my brain.  We love that, don't we?! I opted to turn the sketch to the right.

Here are the supplies I used for this card:
CTMH (Close To My Heart) paper scraps from the Ariana packet, Balloon Ride packet, and Free To Be Me packet.
CTMH Desert Sand Dye Ink
CTMH Lagoon Dye Ink
CTMH Grey Flannel Dye Ink (discontinued- close is Whisper)
CTMH Believe in Yourself Stamp set
CTMH mini flourishes
Cricut cartridge- Cindy Loo
White card base
CTMH 3D foam tape

I am so thrilled with the end results of this card.  It makes me smile :). Thanks for stopping.-Dari
