That's right -- ideas from coast-to-coast!

Using three of CTMH's hot new colors in their Exclusive Inks (Thistle, Glacier, and Canary), Ellen stamped the image all the way around the border of an A2 (4.25" x 5.5") White Daisy Card.

"I was a bit surprised that this was harder than it looks -- lining it up just so and turning the stamp," Ellen said. "I think I stamped this five or so times before I was semi-happy with it, and now I notice that I'd rather have the stamps on the left facing inward."

"Also, I was hoping my order for Confetti Wishes Complements was in (but I ordered late!), so I cut a cake (far right) from its paper for this embellishment. I cut the "Happy Birthday" sentiment using Confetti Wishes paper on my Cricut, using the Artiste exclusive CTMH cartridge."

Rebecca writes that she made this adorable mini-banner using the congratulatory stamp, "You Did It!". She used CTMH's new "Snowhaven" paper pack, Glacier cardstock, Baker's Twine Neutral Metallic Assortment, CTMH's Scallop Border Punch, the Cricut "Art Philosophy" cartridge, and Bitty Sparkles.

Julia stamped the camera image from the #30yearsofhappy stamp set onto Seaside paper, and then stamped her letters to form the sentiment "oh snap" around the camera. Then, using CTMH's Liquid Glass, she adhered the image onto one of the NEW CTMH Base & Bling oval glass elements and onto the pendant. She enhanced the chain for the necklace with two charms (scissors and rhinestone) and VOILA!  A beautiful necklace just perfect for ourselves or our photographer friends.

Using my Cricut, I cut a scalloped label from Close To My Heart's new Confetti Wishes paper. and added two hand-cut "ribbons" from CTMH's Cranberry cardstock. I stamped SWAK using Cranberry Exclusive Ink. I sealed the envelope and glued the cute label directly onto it. And just for good measure and truth-in-advertising, I gave it a kiss and sent the card on its merry way. Easy-peasy!

Rebecca writes that she separated the butterfly from the word "Hey" so she could use it easier without masking. (And CTMH My Acrylix stamps are flexible like that -- easy to trim and still store your trimmed pieces on your carrier sheet!) 

She random-stamped the butterfly (so cute!) in CTMH Exclusive Inks using Cranberry, Hollyhock and Pixie inks. She used CTMH's new "Brushed" paper pack, silver Shimmer Trim, Ruby Chevron Washi Tape and Ruby mini-medly accents.
