Sample cards

I've been making loads of things with this paper packet and its really cute. The sentiments are sweet also in the Gimme Some Sugar Cardmaking Stamp + Thin Cuts. I am at our CTMH Craft Camp typing this on my laptop. 

One thing I did with this set was that I LOVE the wooden look Paper in the Gimme Some Sugar Paper Packet. In the Workshop your way kit you use the back of it with pink spots as your base (not even using the wooden side)... so I went looking for Paper that gave a similar look and feel while keeping my wood for another project. Happy to say pink dots from the Whimsy Fundamental Paper Packet gives a similar look and I'm happily substituting it out. You're welcome ;)

Now I have two sheets of Wooden look paper for another project. YAY!!!

After I'd finished my pages I had lots of complements and the PML cards left over so I made some cards. The card is the PML card that I cut down from 4x6 to 4x5.25 inches. Then I added a strip of green gingham and the yellow zip strip I cut in half and added around it. I cut the thin cut rolling pin and then stamped the Happy Birthday from the Stargazer Cardmaking Stamp + Thin Cuts, it fits pretty good inside the rolling pin. I used 3D foam tape to adhere on the angle. 

The card below is some 4x5.25 Kraft Cardstock with the Just Roll with it PML 3x4 sized. A scrap of 12" × 12" Peacock Cardstock with the circular complements and some sneak peek  Documented Dots in Peacock (coming from 1st May). 

My favourite colour from this paper packet is peacock (see below for why I love it). The t-shirt I was wearing says "Everything will be okay". Yep. It matches this set perfectly. This is me at our Camp doing my blog :) Peacock Cardstock is my new favourite paper - its featured in Gimme Some Sugar, The National Scrapbook papers in May and the upcoming Documented paper pack being released in May.

Colour Your Life S1804 Stamp of the Month Australasian Blog Hop

Welcome to our Australasian Blog Hop. A small group of us have been creating with the "Color Your Life—April Stamp of the Month" Stamp set. If you have arrived here from Georgia O’Shea - Georgia Creates then you are in the right place. If you landed here another way, please join in by following the link at the end of this post. Follow the links, check out all the amazing ideas and eventually you'll come right back here to where you started. 

Today I would like to share with you my projects which features the Color Your Life—April Stamp of the Month available exclusively throughout April 2018 for $27 or for just $7.50 when you spend $75. 

As April is the Month that Close to My Heart features Gimme Some Sugar Scrapbooking Kit. I made up all the pages and with the scraps and some of the cards and then I used the design from the Kit but changed it up a little.. 

This is the optional cards in the kit that I got the cutting guide from. 

This is the pattern using the Celebrate from the Stamp of the Month. I decorated it with the sticker from the Gimme Some Sugar Complements and the cork hearts from the Gimme Some Sugar Cork Shapes. I stamped the Celebrate in Black ink. 

Then I flipped the paper over (from green check to the pink flowers) and rotated it to be a landscape version. I also added some Peacock cardstock underneath. I stamped the always and put it on 3D foam tape. I also stamped the stitching looking stamp along the bottom of the celebrate and embellished with the flower sticker from Gimme Some Sugar Complements and the Pink Pearls. I really loved the simple use of the pattern in different ways makes it looks so different. 

The last card I made was below, I used one of the 4x6 picture my life cards and made it into a smaller card 4 x 5.25 size by slicing it and removing a section in the middle. 

I was going to make it a landscape card and then decided to do a portrait card. 

Then I added some half inch strips (one zip and one cardstock) to the top of the So Kind that I stamped with Black Memento ink. The S and O were from the Hostess Reward Stamp (featured in the Seasonal Expressions catalogue). I embellished with stickers (hearts and flowers) from the Gimme Some Sugar Complements and the Pink Pearls 

Remember this great stamp set Color Your Life—April Stamp of the Month is only available throughout April from my website or from your Close to My Heart Consultant. If you don't have a Close to My Heart Consultant feel free to contact me either on this blog or via my website HERE.
