Welcome to the Hearts of the West team blog hop!
If this is your first time joining us you will love it. If you have been here before welcome back. It features Close to my Heart Consultants from all over Canada showing you their projects. The Hearts of the West team was founded by Nancy Klein.
This months challenge is using the Seaside Paper Pack, brought to you from the Annual Inspirations, hand picked by Nancy Klein.
If you came from Donna's Blog then you're in the right place, this is a go around blog hop so you can start anywhere! Just in case, the full list will be at the bottom. So, as always, grab your coffee, tea, water, relax, and hop around the team with us.
I would like to share with you some cards I made using the Seaside Paper Pack.
 |
| This Thank you card uses the Casual Expressions. |
 |
| This Thank you card uses the Banner Wishes. The Watercolor Pencils to color in the words Thank you. |
 |
| This card used the April stamp of the month "Typed Note". Black Striped Twill Ribbon, Bitty Sparkles, Ranger™ Clear Super Fine Embossing Powder |
 |
| I love how versatile this paper pack is and used it for some Christmas cards too by embossing it with a snowflake embossing folder and sanding to show the white core of the paper. This card uses the retired Frosted card workshop stamp set. Sparkles Clear Assortment were used too. |
 |
| Again I used a snowflake embossing folder and love this snowman that you are looking down upon. I used black liquid pearls for the eyes and mouth. I used the Cricut® Art Philosophy Collection for the circles for the snowman and the arms as well. The stamp set is a retired one as well. |
The June Stamp of the Month is : "Ice Cream Dreams" on this layout. In May with a $50 qualifying purchase you can purchase it for $5. It can also be purchased for $19.75 for the month of May only.
