Happy Anniversary - AHSC #510

I am back again! This week I have a another card for the AHSC. This was a customer who orders cards from me. I used the Cherish papers which are sadly sold out now. I absolutely loved playing with this paper, it was so beautiful and that made it so easy to play with and so fun. I did have to alter my design from the sketch a bit as the flowers were to big so I had to slide one cluster over and leave the top cluster off. 

Thanks for stopping by my blog today, I welcome any and all feedback. If you would like help with purchasing any of the products mentioned my post today, please contact your local CTMH Maker. If you do not have a CTMH Maker and are in Canada I can absolutely assist you in ordering.

Cheers - Pumpkin Spice - AHSC 443

Hello! Today I am back with another project from my Pumpkin Spice workshop and that I created for the AHSC Design Team. I had so much fun playing with these papers, I am a total sucker for all things fall....except Pumpkin and Pumpkin flavours! But I do love the feel, the colours, the sense of change all of those things!

When I saw this stamp set I could not wait to get it and play with it. For this one I used my water colour pencils to colour it in, I need to up my skills with the water colour pencils so I forced myself to use them and practice some shading, I think it came out ok.  For an added touch on the whipped cream I added clear shimmer brush, it is hard to see in the picture but it is there!

Products Used:

Paper:

- Pumpkin Spice

- Harbour, Shortbread, Paprika, and White Daisy

Stamp/Thin Cut:

- Z4322 Pumpkin Treats

Embellishments:

- Z3274 Clear Sparkles

- Z3293 Clear Shimmer Brush

Interactive Elements

Hello and welcome to our monthly technique blog hop. Tonight we are featuring interactive elements our projects. If you are joining me from Cat Nowak, welcome's you are in the right place! If you are starting with me, welcome!

Today I have a waterfall card I made for a special little guys first birthday. I used up some of my last scraps of Party Time (loved this paper pack, sad it will be leaving us very soon but know something equally great will be replacing it!)

This first card I made for my daughter, she is growing and becoming such a wonderful young woman and I wanted that showing on this card and the interactive part is the spinner with all the things I feel she is like amazing, funny, loved, and so sweet! I used the Deserts a'la whirl for the sentiments for the spinner. I added the puppy because she LOVES all dogs so anything for her has to have a dog on it!

This is a waterfall card I made a while ago, but wanted to feature again as another way to get interactive with your cards. 

I love how looking at the card closed it shows Wishing you a Happy Birthday so you don't have to open it up to see the sentiment but as you pull the tab there are surprises along the way!

Surprises like Balloons....

A party hat and 1st....

and some presents too!
