NEW POST ON MY NEW BLOG


Hi everyone!  I have recently made the decision to move my blog over to my own
domain.  Why?  I wanted to have unlimited storage space for photos of projects
and things that I wanted to share with you. 


 I have just added a new post, and I would love for you to stop over and view my
Love Blossoms Card.  You can get there by clicking the link, above.


The great thing about this new blog, GIRLplusPAPER.com, is that all of my
old blog posts are there as well.  I am even in the process of categorizing
everything in an easy to follow manner.


Please stop by!!!

OH SNAP! LAYOUT FOR THE JOYFUL STARS BLOG HOP


Oh Snap! I have made a layout from my heart today for the Joyful Stars Blog Hop.
 If you have arrived here from Betty's blog, you are on the right track!  


This layout is built upon so many CTMH Thin Cuts die cuts, and prominently
features Stitched Rectangle Frame Thin Cuts.  But wait, let's go back to the
beginning, I am getting ahead of myself.  


I began with a patterned piece of cardstock from the Feels Like Home paper pack.
 I then pulled out a sheet of Linen cardstock, trimmed it down to an 11.5
square, and adhered it to the base.  I randomly stamped in Pebble Ink with the
floral stamps from the Love Blossoms Stamp Set. I splattered some Watercolor
Paint onto my page too, for added texture.  Next, I pulled out small pieces of
Seasons Mix In paper that I had left over from last year.  I used the Decorative
Borders Thin Cuts to make the cute little elements on them.  You might notice
some of the Decorative Borders more clearly in the close ups below.



I adhered down my photo and began to build.  I used all three sizes of Stitched
Rectangle Frame Thin Cuts, and even put one popped up over my photo.  The other
two anchored my Butterflies that were stamped and die cut from my Butterfly
Friendship Stamp + Thin Cuts set. I colored the butterflies using my Watercolor
Pencils and my Clear Shimmer Brush.

I used my Stitched Heart Thin Cuts to make all of the different hearts that you
see throughout my layout.  Some little Clear Sparkles dot the layout to help
with embellishment.  The title was cut from Gold Glitter Paper, but it was just
two words that I typed in CDS and welded together.  The last element that I
added was the stamped "my heart", which also came from the Love Blossoms stamp
set.

I think this picture, above, really highlights the stamped florals from the Love
Blossom set.


Thank you for stopping by my blog!  Next up on the hop is the talented Marie.
 Please visit her blog, NJ Stamping Queen, to see what she has in store for you
today!

RECTANGLE FRAMES AND STITCHED HEARTS THIN CUT CARD HOW TO


Welcome!  Today on the blog I will be showing you how to make a cute set of
cards using the Rectangle Frames Thin Cuts from Close To My Heart.  


There is even a brand new, somewhat silly, 
HOW TO VIDEO 
if you get to the bottom of this post!!!










I have paired the cards with our Stitched Hearts Thin Cuts, to replicate a card
that I had seen pinned on Pinterest.  (I apologize the the original artist, as I
can not find her name, nor the original photo that I sketched.)
Using a few little pieces of CTMH's I Heart Us paper, I created 2 sets of our
largest Stitched Rectangle Frame pieces.  I also cut one set out of plain White
Daisy Cardstock.  
I proceeded to cut 6 Stitched Hearts out of the White Daisy rectangle.  After
using some Thin 3D Foam Tape to adhere some of the elements to each card, I
added a sentiment stamped in White Daisy Ink and a few Loose Sequins in Silver.
These are the cards I came up with.


I wanted to make a how to video, but I decided to change up the card set a
little by using some of my Heart Happy paper.  (Yup, same pack as I made all
four of my layouts with as well as the Gal Pals Forever Shaker Card.). Oh, and I
should mention that the sentiments for both sets of cards were also from the
Heart Happy Promotion stamp set called 
A Piece of my Heart.  
You can laugh along with me as you see my little momentary bloopers on the
video.  I left them in to show you that I am really a disaster when I craft
sometimes!  Please like my Facebook page and subscribe to my YouTube channel so
that you don't miss any future videos.  Enjoy!

SO MUCH HAPPY MINI CARD SET


So Much Happy.  A vibrant, bright, cheery paper suite featured in CTMH's 2019
Seasonal Expressions 2.


I was at the tail end of a crop on Saturday evening, and didn't want to start a
big project.  Let's face it, I don't get very much done at crops.  I am there
99% to spend time with my girlfriends enjoying good conversations and food that
I didn't have to cook.  Too funny, right?





I knew I needed to complete at least one thing in my 12 hours there.  I set to
work to make a set of 3x3 mini cards.  Each card base began as a 3x6 piece of
patterned cardstock.  It is topped with a 2.5x2.5 piece of the reverse side of
the same paper as the base.  
Using my I Heart Us Cardmaking stamp set and my ShinHan markers, I colored the
cute little flowers.  Fussy cutting is not my favorite, but I powered through
using my Non-Stick Micro-Tip Scissors.  Once I had stuck on the little flowers
to their respective card bases, I realized that I needed a little bling, which
came in the form of Gold Shimmer Trim.  
The sentiments from the I Heart Us Cardmaking stamp set were just too big, so, I
went with sentiments from my Butterfly Friendship stamp set instead.  Here are
some close up photos of the I Heart Us mini cards.











If you would like to see the entire So Much Happy paper suite, please feel free
to HERE.  Thank you for checking out my I Heart Us Mini Card Set!

HEART HAPPY SCRAPBOOK LAYOUTS


Heart Happy Scrapbook Layouts that will make your heart VERY happy!  You might
have caught a glimpse of the four scrapbook layouts that I created with my Heart
Happy bundle from Close To My Heart.
Today I wanted to share those pages in full.  

If you would like to make these layouts for yourself, I am offering a Workshop
Cutting Guide and you can find out more by clicking on this highlighted link!


So, without further delay, here are my four layouts in all of their glory!  No
little glimpses, because I wanted you to see all of the easy these would be to
complete with all of their straight lines.










To create my Heart Happy Scrapbook Layouts, I used the Heart Happy Bundle
without the stamp set, 2 additional White Daisy sheets of cardstock and some
Foam Tape.  That's all of the consumable supplies.  Easy.  You will also need a
paper trimmer and Non-Stick Micro-Tip Scissors to fussy cut the flowers in the
page directly above this paragraph.
Remember, the link to the Workshop and Cutting Guide can be found at the top of
this post, and I have even created a bonus Heart Happy card with my remaining
pieces that you can see by clicking on the pink highlighted words above.

HEART HAPPY GAL PALS FOREVER SHAKER CARD


Instead of cleaning up where my paper crafting bomb seems to have exploded, I
decided to make it worse today!  Yes, I should have been organizing and putting
away my supplies.  I had picked up my Heart Happy leftovers to to just that, but
got side tracked by a few of the sticker embellishments left after making my
four Heart Happy layouts.



Using my Basic Hearts Thin Cuts, my Stitched Hearts Thin Cuts, a piece of a Flip
Flap and some Gold Loose Sequins, I set to work making my very own shaker
element.  I used two of the hearts, concentrically  to make the paper overlay
for the outside of my shaker window.  The sky is the limit with shaker cards,
really.  Did you know that you can even die cut a piece of a Flip Flap instead
of using acetate to make the perfect clear layer for your shaker card?
After adding my heart lollipop sticker to the edge of the shaker, I embellished
with some loops of Gold Sequin Ribbon, and a bow of White and Gold Skinny
Ribbon. My stamp set was nowhere to be found, so I went with a sticker
sentiment. A few teensy scraps of Heart Happy paper here and there, and even a
little heart cut from the Stitched Hearts Thin Cuts gave the card just the right
touch of clutter that I was going for!

FEELS LIKE HOME AND BUDDING PEONY CARD


Welcome to GIRLplusPAPER and my entry for the Mojo Monday sketch challenge
number 507.
These challenges can really jumpstart your creativity if you need a little push.
Today I am sharing a card made with Close To My Heart’s Feels Like Home paper
paired with the Budding Peony Stamp and Thin Cuts set.












You might also notice that I used Close To My Heart's Stitched Rectangular
Frames Thin Cuts to create the bottom two layers of my card.  I then drew in my
stitches using a LePen.

After stamping the peony with Intense Black Ink, I used my favorite Watercolor
Pencils along with my handy dandy Clear Shimmer Brush to shade my flower and
leaves.  Look carefully and you might see that the peony sits upon two Thin Cut
Circles, one from the Stitched Circles Thin Cuts, and another from the Basic
Circles Thing Cut set.  And that little piece of Sugarplum Glitter paper...that
was made with our Decorative Borders Thin Cuts!
To embellish my card even more, I glued down some tiny sequins from my Silver
Loose Sequins pack, and added some Silver Embellishing Thread.
Thank you, Mojo Monday, for another inspiring sketch!

HEART HAPPY LAYOUTS AND WORKSHOP CUTTING GUIDE


Close To My Heart's "Heart Happy"
Available only while supplies last, or February 28, 2019, whichever comes first.
It truly made my own heart happy, with its striking color palette that includes
Sapphire, Raspberry, Mint and Ballerina, to name a few of the colors.

I knew that I wanted to make beautiful, yet easy to accomplish layouts with this
bundle of goodness.  I wanted these layouts to be achievable for my scrapbookers
without Cricut or Thin Cuts, and I am delighted with how they turned out.  To
make these layouts, you will need The Heart Happy Workshop Kit without the Stamp
Set (but for a few dollars more, why not just get the set?) as well as two
sheets of White Daisy Cardstock if you chose to add the additional photo mats
above those included in the kit. 

Keep scrolling past these layout photos for details on how you can make your
own!











Now, onto how to get the Workshop Cutting Guide to make your own set of these
oh, so easy but oh, so pretty layouts.


I designed this Workshop Cutting Guide that I would like to offer to anyone that
purchases $20 in product from my CTMH website, andreasherman.ctmh.com.  The
products purchased can include any items at all, even clearance, just as long as
they add up to $20. This offer is available for any customer or fellow
consultant to take advantage of.  And if you are a fellow consultant, you will
be free to use my cutting guides for your very own, in-person workshops.  


I will email the workshop to you within 24 hours (and usually much sooner) of
your $20 product purchase is complete.


I am also offering an option ONLY for my friends OUTSIDE of the United States,
since you can't purchase from my website, sadly.  Please note that this option
is not for those in the United States, and I will need to reverse your payment
if you live in the US and try to use the button.

$10 USD
