The New Babycakes Paper!

The new CTMH catalog is now available to shop from! In celebration of the new catalog and all the new products I am participating in the new CTMH New Product Blog Hop. 

My absolute favorite thing in the new catalog is the new Babycakes paper pack. I love the versatility of this paper. Though CTMH intend for it to be a babyish paper, I feel the color combination allows for so much more! The color focus: Chocolate, Slate, Buttercup, and Sunset (which I absolutely love, and I don't usually like orange colors).

I created a simple 4" by 4" card using the baby cakes paper. With details including some light faux stitching and banners. See the full list of supplies below:

Creativity Helpful Hint: When making paper banners I find it is easier to cut a small slit in the middle of the paper up to the height that I want my triangle cut out, and then cut from each corner to the top of my slit in the middle.

As a military wife I understand what it is like to be away from a loved one. This card was made using materials from past Studio Calico card kits and CTMH Whisper Ink and Desert Sand (mostly in second generation).

I thought this was a great video show casing how awesome the new Artiste Cartridge is. If you would like to purchase this cartridge you can purchase it from my online website.

Boss Day Card - Oct 16

I needed to take some time today to create something and relax. With the craziness of work lately, I have had no time for any paper craftiness time. So I decided to be productive and create this card for my boss. Boss Day is this Tuesday (October 16). I combined two different card challenges to make this card. I also used the new Cricut Artiste by Close To My Heart to create the ribbon badge.
