Variety of Thanks- Hopscotch

I was lucky enough to participate in another awesome consultant swap.  This is the card I created using the products featured in the Seasonal Expressions.

I used my new favorite cricut cartridge, Artfully Sent for the flower cut outs.  You can find this cut on page 17, the pocket card.  I cut it down more to fit my 4x4 card.  It looks super cute as a standard size card too.

Other products I used:
X7194B Hopscotch Paper Packet
B1471 Variety of Thanks stamp set - Hostess only set
1388 Colonial White CardStock
Z2196 Smoothie Ink
Z2642 Flaxen Ink (to sponge around flower cut outs)
Z3024 White Shimmer Trim
Z1752 Clear Sparkles
Z1853 Aqua Dots

Z1912 Corner Rounder
Heart Puffy  Sticker

You can purchase any of these items on my website www.ctmh.com/juliescott.

Hugs and Kisses Valentines Box

We made this cute box at our last craft night.  At craft night I always have a "bonus" project you can make if you didn't sign up for the main project, or in addition to the project we are creating.  Our next craft night will be on February 20th, so mark your calendar to join us!

I used the Artiste Cricut Cartridge to cut out the box in White Daisy Cardstock.  You can find the box on page 38 of the Artiste cutting booklet.  I cut it at 5 inches as suggested in the book.

Other products used:
X7193B Heartstrings Paper Packet
M1054 XOXO stamp set
Z2116 Cranberry Ink
Z679 Liquid Glass to glue it all together

Cranberry Twine

The finished project measures about 2 3/4 x 2 3/4 (not including the handle) perfect for a little gift or fill with goodies to give to your favorite Valentine.

Easy Neighbor Gifts For This Holiday Season

These are a few neighbor gifts I made up for the boutiques I participated in this season.  They are pretty easy to make them up yourself if you still need an idea!  

My friend Angie designed the "Grate" and "Joy" tags.  

Merry and Bright was super simple!  I cut out a tag shape using the  Z1686 Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge.  "Merry & Bright" is from B1468 Merriest Christmas stamp set stamped in  Z2116 Cranberry Ink.

Holiday Happenings Crush Book

This makes such a fun gift or coffee table book you can add to year after year.

The My Crush Holiday Happenings book has 30- 8 1/4 x 6 1/2 pages in a mix of styles.  The cover is kraft hardcover with a foil gold accent.  It is all bound together with wire.  

On the cover I added a piece of gold shimmer trim punched with a scallop border punch to the bottom of the tree and then added a badge button.  I printed Christmas pictures starting with the year we had our first baby and I have a ton of room to add more for many more years.  My kids have had so much fun looking through the book again and again.  

The pages are so cute on their own, or you can add the Holiday Happenings Assortment that includes: 4- 4x6 cards

8- 3x4 cards

18- 2x2 cards

4- 4x4 sticker sheets

2- 4x4 alphabet sheets

4- 2x2 envelopes

I also added the Holiday Happenings Badge Buttons and Topiary Washi Tape 

You can go HERE to order all the supplies to create your very own holiday crush book.

Thank you to my friend Sonja for the inspiration for this Christmas Crush Book.
