"This Moment" Blog Hop


Hello there!  Welcome to the Rose Blossom "This Moment" Blog Hop!  You may be coming from the lovely Marg's blog.  You are in the right place.  We are featuring the January Stamp of the Month, This Moment.  With a qualifying purchase, you can get this stamp set for only $5!  Check out my website at www.createdbybarbara.ctmh.com for more details.



I decided to focus on the "note" part.  What goes with notes?  A mailbox!  I took the Atriste Cricut Cartridge and made this cute mailbox.  The only papers I used were White Daisy and Cranberry.  I wanted to use as much of the stamp set as possible.  Using a very loosely colored "XOXO" stamp, with the Hollyhock Stamp Pad, I stamped the entire body of the box.  I used that stamp pad on everything except the "My aim is True".  That is done in the Cranberry Stamp Pad.
Everything is staying together with either Liquid glass or 3D Foam Tape.  To give it a little bling, just add a few Sparkles!
For every order, of $25.00, from now until January 15th, will get a ticket and be put into a drawing.  I will be giving away a bundle, of new, retired product. (1- "Free to be me" paper pack;
I put a lot of pictures in, hoping you would see how cute it really is.  It looks much better in person!

Now you are off to Shelly's Pretty Pieces.  You will love it!

Hope you enjoyed it!  Be Blessed!

Yuletide Carol Easel Card

Hi everyone!  What a beautiful day!  My son is napping...that is always a wonderful thing.  :)
Today, I have an easel card.  These are fun to make.



Using the Yuletide Carol Workshop on the Go, I made this card.  I really do love the paper in this workshop.  I like more traditional things for Christmas and this paper is that for me.



I hope you enjoyed this card.  Have a fantastic day!

SNOWHAVEN Gift Card Holders! #3

#3 - These were cut out using the NEW Artfully Sent Cricut Cartridge.  Cut the sleeve out at 3 3/4", glue and fold!  That is all there is to these.  It does all the work for you!  You get those great snowflakes cut out for you, cut a piece of White Daisy Cardstock to fit inside, slide the gift card behind it, DONE!

 

Add a little something to the front and you have a cute gift card holder!
People will love getting this, way better, than that thing you get with the card, when you buy it! :)

Hope you liked all the Snowhaven gift cards.  I will be showing you at least one with the Yuletide Carol Paper Pack!  Sign up to get the email, so you won't miss it!  Have a great day!

SNOWHAVEN Gift Card Holders! #1



Hello everyone!  Beautiful Fall day in Minnesota!  Hope you are having a beautiful day as well.  Today, I have gift card holders.  I am still getting ready for the upcoming show!!!  Yikes!  I better get a move on.  :)

#1 - I actually used the "leftovers" from making the Popcorn Wrappers.  The Snowhaven paper has an awesome stripped border on it.  With that border, I have 3 1/2".  I would normally have it at 3 3/4" because you need score 1/4" on two sides to make the pocket.  You know, you want to "hide" the gift card.


I put one together, put a gift card in it, and wallah!  It sticks out the top!  But just a little...it will be easier for them to get out this way, right?  I personally, do not see a problem with this.  We will see how people react to it this weekend!  I will fill you in on what happens. :)
I topped them off with a tag, using Glacier Paper,White Daisy Paper, Cranberry ink, Slate Stripped Ribbon and 3D Foam tape!

Two more different looking card holders to come... Thank you for stopping by!  Hope you enjoyed it!

Christmas Candy Bar Wrappers


Hello there!  So, I am trying to get ready for a couple of vendor shows.  Here are a few quick styles of candy bar wrappers I came up with.  I used the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge, Artfully Sent Stamp Set, October Stamp of the Month. For the paper I used... Yuletide Carol, Snowhaven, Cranberry, Glacier, White Daisy and Champagne.  Stamp colors are Black, Cranberry and Cocoa.
I will have a lot of stocking stuffers, such as these wrapped candy bars, wrapped microwave popcorn, covered post-it notes, note pads and more.  It is getting down to crunch time!  I still have a lot to do!  The first show is on the 8th of November at Cross of Hope Church in Ramsey.

I already packaged a lot of the things, but maybe I will take a few pictures and put them in a post in a few days.  Have a fantastic day!

"SUPER" Artfully Sent



Hello there!  Hope you are having a great weekend!  Today, I made my first Artfully Sent Cricut Cartridge card.  It is a "Pop-up" card!  A SUPER POP-UP CARD!!!  These type of cards, are an interesting breed, but if I can do it, anyone can!  :)


I used the pop-up and icon keys, like it shows in the handbook.  Then I used the sentiment card key for the front of the card.  I just backed the words with scrap paper, to make them pop a little.



On the inside, I used a couple of scrap strips on the edge and used 3D Foam tape to lift up the "Happy Birthday" a little bit.  I also edged the front and inside of the card, with a  Dauber and Black ink.  Because Real Super Heroes get dirty!









I think the 10 year old that will be receiving this, will love it!  Don't you?!  :)

Hope you enjoyed it!  Have a fantastic day!

Pathfinding/ Yuletide Carol Clothespin Duo...

One side Fall, the other Christmas!  On a 6" clothespin!




 What is this?  Well, I will tell you!  I love the thought of using clothespins to hold photos.  However, I thought it would be nice to have one pin, with two purposes.

The first side, I used Pathfinding Workshop on the Go.  What a beautiful workshop!  Using one sheet of patterned paper from the pack and Colonial White paper, where I used the Goldrush stamp pad and one of the stamps from the set, to make my own patterned paper.  I also used the Chocolate and Autumn Terracotta ink pads for the leaves and heart.  Yes, I cut the leaves and heart out by hand!  :)  Not exactly my strong suit, but I think they look good.




 Okay, so here on the Christmas side I used the Yuletide Carol Workshop on the Go.  Using the CTMH Artbooking Cricut Cartridge, I cut out the cute little tickets and stamped them with the awesome stamp set that comes with the workshop.  I stamped the tickets with the Cranberry ink pad and edged it with the Ponderosa Pine ink pad.  I also took Liquid Glass and put it over the stamped pine leaf.  It gives it a nice glossy pop I think.

I hope you enjoyed it!  Have a fantastic day!
