Joyful Stars Aug blog hop

Welcome to the August Joyful Stars blog hop!  Your in for a treat, we had one month to get our hands on our wonderful NEW products and stamps from the Autumn Close to my Heart catalog and we will show you just a glimpse of what's new. I hope you enjoy this hop.

It was hard for me decide what to showcase, I love the NEW "Artbooking" Cricut cartridge
and I also love the NEW Base and Bling wearable art. I could go on and on ......I had my best friend and CTMH consultant, Debbie visit and we had fun making these wearable art jewelry items. I hope you enjoy this:
This is the teal necklace kit. You can find this on page 75-77 in the new fall catalog. The box is an extra bonus to put your necklace in.  Of course cut with the CTMH cricut cartridges.


There are five color shades to pick from, 12 fabrics and endless other accessories in the catalog. I was mainly working on black and white.  I velcroed the center gem and I can swap them out to go with any outfit.
I even made earrings!



This is Debbie's collection

Here is a trick that you can do to color your Base and bling floral accents.  I took liquid glass and re-inker and mixed them together and applied it the flower with a bone folder.

Now hop over to my talented  friend NANCY"S blog
