Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge #194

We are featuring the blue palette this week at Color My Heart Color Dare!

I decided to play with my Artfully Sent Cricut Cartridge, especially since Father's Day is around the corner. The sentiment is from Just To Say Cricut Collection stamp set from Artfully Sent. The background stripe paper is from La Vie En Rose, and I cut the card and other elements using Pacifica and Crystal Blue Cardstock. I added just a hint of bling with the white gems from the Grey Enamel Gems pack. I kept the card simple and masculine. :-)

Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge #137

It's time for us to feature the colors for the Brushed paper packet at Color My Heart Color Dare.

For this challenge, I made a dressform using the Brushed paper packet, and Black Cardstock. The Pixie Cardstock was embossed using the Diamond Embossing Folder. I added vintage lace and a flower from Recollections to finish off the look.

We would love to see what you come up with using the color palette, so come join us at Color My Heart Color Dare!

CTMH Artfully Sent Blog Hop

Welcome to another fabulous blog hop, this time featuring the newest Cricut cartridge from Close To My Heart, Artfully Sent.

If you came from Maria's Blog, then you're in the right place! Please visit Melinda's Blog for a complete list of blog participants.

The multiple envelopes and sleeve options that the newest cartridge has made it possible for me to make another mini album, this time with a Parisian summer theme. One could only wish for that season in a beautiful and romantic city when it's dreary and cold everywhere else, right? :-D

I used the neutral background and textures (B&T) paper from Yuletide Carol, and cardstock in Black and Champagne. I inked the edges of the Yuletide Carol paper and Champagne cardstock in Desert Sand. To add a touch of glam to the mini, I used Sequins Gold Assortment, Gold Shimmer Trim, Gold Polka-Dot Washi Tape, and Bling Gems Gold Assortment.

This accordion mini album was simply two 5"x7" cards taped together using the Gold Polka-Dot Washi Tape. What I love about this type of album is that you can keep on adding pages to it. :-)
