<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I decided to do a one page, one picture layout of my beautiful step mom. She looks so pretty next to the flowers we brought her last Mother's Day. And these floral designs and pastel colored papers with a little hint of gold foil were perfect. The coordinating stamp set works perfectly too. I stamped the flower image and title and fussy cut them to add to the page. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Before you hop on over to <b><a href="http://michelleshandmadeworld.blogspot.com/2016/05/happy-times-nsm-blog-hop.html">MICHELLE'S BLOG</a></b> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> to see her artwork I hope you'll check out my tips below and more details on how you can get this beautiful paper pack and stamp set for yourself.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Tip 1 - To fussy cut the title, I first stamped the sentiment then cleaned my stamp. Then I put the clean stamp over the image and lightly traced the outline with a pencil. I used the pencil line to fussy cut the title out.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Tip 2 - to save some of this beautiful paper I cut away some of it that was going to be layered over. See the below picture.</span></span><br />

I did a little paper piecing - that's when you stamp on some patterned paper, cut it out and place it over the stamped image - to give it a little pop. I colored the cake topper with my ShinHan markers and added some new<a href="http://jeanieburch.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9181&ci=4385"> Florence sequins</a>.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Watercolor is a big trend now and it's soo easy. Don't be afraid to try it. CTMH makes it easy and inexpensive to try this fun technique. And there are tons of ideas on Pinterest to inspire you. In fact my cards were inspired by<a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/AVRDTYpqV1th3mB2URwf4aVkCSr43nng3LmCBpwu0-7D46Gy917GXNk/"> this</a> card I saw there. I used our <a href="http://jeanieburch.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8651">watercolor paper</a> and did a wash of water over the top third of the card. Then I just picked out some pretty pastel colors I thought looked good together and using my widest <a href="http://jeanieburch.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8692">paint brush</a> I just dabbed the color in four squarish areas of the card blending the edges. After my card dried (you can speed it up by hitting it with a craft heater) I stamped the sentiment in <a href="http://jeanieburch.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9053">Memento Ink</a>. I cut a butterfly with my Cricut and heat embossed it in <a href="http://jeanieburch.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8054">gold</a> and added that and some <a href="http://jeanieburch.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8003&ci=1473">gold sequins</a> to finish it off. I got a little carried away with how easy this card was and ended up making four cards. One was for my niece's birthday and you'll see below what happened when I tried to take a picture of it to post here.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This cute stamp set is perfect for coloring, either with our watecolor paints or with our Shin-han markers. I used both! I was inspired by <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/124552745922650440/">this card</a> I found on Pinterest. I made this 5 x 7 card first by random stamping the butterflies in Memento Ink and then using our watercolors to paint them. Then I used the happy birthday stamp that comes with the Art Philosophy Cartridge. I used Thistle cardstock matted with Eggplant and added some bitty sparkles.</span><br />

I looked at pages 88 and 89 and picked out some of the colors that go with the Urban paper pack. Then I looked in our <a href="http://jeanieburch.ctmh.com/ctmh/products/how-to-pattern-books.aspx">Wishes pattern book</a> for a card pattern. And this is what I came up with - two 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 cards. I did some random stamping using the masking technique to add a little interest and a few gold sequences to add some bling.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I thought this stamp set just begged to be used with our watercolors. I stamped the image with our <a href="http://jeanieburch.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9053">Memento Ink</a> on <a href="http://jeanieburch.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8651">watercolor paper</a> then used my <a href="http://jeanieburch.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8637">watercolors</a> to color everything in. I mounted on a piece of Slate cardstock and matted it with some <a href="http://jeanieburch.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8565">Georgie paper</a> and Sunset cardstock. A little bit of Glacier twine adds a little somethin' somethin'. I did not add a sentiment to the front of the card. I wanted to artwork to stand out. I'll add something inside when I send it to someone. </span><br />

Watercolor card using our new watercolors. I did a gradient wash over the water color paper with some bold colors. I masked off the edges of the paper with some washi tape to get the crisp edges and then mounted on sapphire card base. The Hello cut from our new Artistry cartridge just sets off the card. </div>

Here is how to make this fun fold card:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Cut an 11 3/4" x 6" out of B&T paper. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With the long edge horizontal, score at 3 1/4" and 5" on the CTMH score board. Turn the paper and score at 3 1/4" and 5" again. Fold panel along score lines, creating valley folds at first and last scorelines and mountain folds at the center score lines.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Cut a zip strip to 11 3/4" and score the same way. Attach to the bottom of the card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Cut 3 Spider Webs from Black CS at 4 1/2" (Artbooking, pg 54, Real Dial Size)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Cut Boo from Black CS at 1 1/4" (Artbooking, pg 54, Real Dial Size)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Cut 2 circles at 3 1/4" and 1 circle at 4" from the grey B&T.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Cut 1 circle from Whisper CS at 2 1/2" to stamp your Little Monster on.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Cut shape for Spooky Cute stamp from Eggplant at 1 1/2" (Artfully Sent, pg 29)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Layer the 4" B&T grey circle behind one spider web for the front of the card. Attach the stamped Whisper circle to the front. Stamp Happy Halloween on the 3 1/4" B&T circle and attach Boo to the other 3 1/4" circle. Attach these to the front of the spider webs. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Adhere layered spider webs to card as shown lining them up so they match, creasing along score lines of left and right panel.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Tip: Make sure your spider webs are all lined up before you adhere anything to them or adhere them to the card. They are not symmetrical and you'll want them to "disappear" when the card is closed. </div>

I chose to use the new <a href="http://jeanieburch.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8637">CTMH watercolor paints</a> on this Christmas card. I did a color wash in reds on watercolor paper. Then I spattered some green from my paint brush and finally, I used a cotton swab dipped in alcohol and touched to the surface of the watercolor. The watercolor jumps away from the alcohol and creates those white rings. I mounted the finished piece on a 5 x 7 piece of Cranberry Card stock and attached it to a card front. I then added some velum snow flakes from the <a href="http://jeanieburch.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8570&ci=3189">White Pines Complement package</a>. Some are glued directly to the watercolor and some are popped up with foam tape. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: start;">Here is a tip to get your stamped image to show through the watercolors: First I stamped the frame image in Archival black ink on watercolor paper and then I stamped the sentiment "Peace" inside the frame. Then I used Elmer's Rubber Cement to paint over the stamped image. Let the glue dry and THEN use your watercolors. When everything is completely dry you can rub away the rubber cement and the stamped image remains underneath. See the example on the below card.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There are actually three different stamp sets available this month designed to fit with a specific type of papercrafting. I love making cards so I chose the Cardmaking Stamp set. I also used our new watercolors and watercolor paper. I took one of our clear acrylic blocks (the 1 x 3 1/2) and used my paintbrush to load it up with a vibrant pink color and stamped it at the top of the card. I cleaned off the block and then loaded up the orange shade and stamped it below the pink. Then a yellow and a green. The image turned out very messy - not all all like stamping with our inks and a stamp - more organic. And it doesn't matter that the colors bled into each other. That's the whole idea with watercolors - they blend together. AND I think they work! The "Hello" stamp works perfectly with it too. I stamped it with Archival Black ink on a tag and matted it on black cardstock. Tip: Make sure you use the Watercolor paper to stamp the "Hello" instead of just White Daisy cardstock, there may be a slight color variation. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I got the directions for this card on <a href="http://www.cardmakermagazine.com/">Cardmaker Magazine's</a> current issue. It is one of the Fun with Folds cards. I cut a piece of Glacier card stock to 7.5 x 3.5. I made a pencil mark along the right edge 1.5' from the top right corner. Then made another pencil mark along the bottom edge 3 inches from the bottom left corner. I connected the marks and cut off that triangle. Then I used the background honeycomb stamp to stamp along the edge with <a href="http://jeanieburch.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=972">Versamark ink</a>. Then I sprinkled <a href="http://jeanieburch.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8056">white embossing powder</a> and heat embossed. Place the panel of card stock on your <a href="http://jeanieburch.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=7936">Score board</a> with the long edge at the top, stamped side down. Score the panel at 3", 3.5", 5" and 6 1/8". Accordion fold along the score lines beginning with valley fold at 3 inch line. Below picture shows the <b>back</b> side of the Glacier card stock after stamping and scoring. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is the card I made. I used the negative space from the background image on page 14 and then used foam tape to pop up the cut out. I also used the Center Point feature on my Cricut. Just make a light pencil mark in the center of your card where you want the image cut, maneuver the blade over to this pencil mark, press the Center Point button and then the keys for your image and the Cricut will cut the image in the center. Easy Peasy! I used Sapphire cardstock for the background and it is about 1/8 inch smaller than my card base so a little shows as a border. I cut the little deer out from the same page added some white shimmer trim and stamped "Just Because" in black. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is the card I made for my nephew's birthday. He was born on the 4th of July and is serving in the Army stationed in Washington State. I am so proud of him! I used our Artfully Sent Cricut Cartridge to make the 5 x 7 card on page 20. I made a card liner for the inside of the card and traced some of the words lightly with pencil onto it. This gave me an outline to back each word with a different color of card stock, washi tape, some glitter paper or shimmer trim. Below is what the card liner looks like before I adhered it to the inside of the card. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I stamped one of the frames from the STOM set with Holiday Red ink and trimmed out and then used the sentiment "happy birthday" stamped in black for the inside of the frame.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Unfortunately I had to make a sympathy card for one of my friends that lost their furbaby. I used some retired CTMH paper and cut a heart at 1 1/2 inches and 4 ovals at 1/2 inch out of black card stock. I used the <a href="http://jeanieburch.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8339">Happy to Be Friends</a> stamp set for the sentiment. I totally cased<a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/124552745921367621/"> this card</a> from this card on Pinterest. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I needed a thank you gift for two ladies that are so helpful to me at work. I used the super cute Hostess stamp set called "Cuddly Salutations" to make a gift box and some small 3 x 3 cards to go inside. They are both animal lovers so I knew they would like this. I used <a href="http://jeanieburch.ctmh.com/Retail/Products.aspx?CatalogID=5">Lagoon Card Stock </a>to cut the boxes from the <a href="http://jeanieburch.ctmh.com/retail/product.aspx?sku=Z1790">Artiste Cricut Cartridge </a>(page 44). </span></div>
