Joyful Stars July Blog Hop

Hi everyone!  Welcome to the "Joyful Stars" Blog hop for July.  We could pick anything CTMH and I had to give you a peek at what's coming in August. I'm so excited about the new catalog, new products and the new Cricut cartridge.  So, grab all the soon to be retired papers and stamps this month and pre-order the catalogs and get ready for next month.

The card I made is with the new Circle spin cards and envelopes Z1866 with my favorite paper Laughing Lola X7170B. I also used new Mini stamps  Birthday Wish M1033 and A Little gift M1030.
Sparkle flourishes, silver trim and of course the AP Cricut cartridge was used.  To embellish, I spritzed the card with a little re-inker.  

Here is a close-up of the swing card.

This is the inside of the card that can be decorated as well.





Next month the blog hop theme will be anything NEW so be ready for that on August 10th.  Below is a list of hoppers so if you get lost you come back here to find your way. We have 15 bloggers this month, so have fun hopping.   Now hop on over to NICKIE'S blog to see what wonderful creation she came up with.

Leave a comment and become a follower and your name will go into a drawing for a free gift. .  Last month Laurie won congratulations.

Spring Card Making day

If you were lucky enough to attend yesterday's Spring Fling you have these cards to be proud of.

We had 10  CTMH consultants to help prepare for this day. I praise them for all the hard work they did to make a fun day for all.  The food was great and the cards were showcasing all of new spring papers and accessories.

For Always
Crystal made this card which showed using white daisy ink,   June Stamp of the month, markers or colored pencils, black shimmer trim and a special black glitter button.

Chantilly
Liz brought this card for everyone to make using 12 squares and some other shapes using the Cricut. Stamp set is "Happy Thoughts C1536

Claire
Micki designed this card, using Cricut flower shapes from "Girl's Rock" C1538, and the new Happy Birthday set ''Joyful Birthday B1419

Tommy
Betty designed this card using White daisy pigment ink, "Joyful Birthday" B1419 and the chalk marker.  Pinwheels  are popular and easy to make using a square or cutting them out with the Cricut, see the May Stamp of the month.

Later Sk8R
Lori made this card using" A Journey" A1127 , this set also has some really neat pine tree, that would good on a Christmas card. Check this out on page 74 in the spring catalog.  

Buzz and Bumble
Nancy Brown brought this card to make "Country Born  D1443"  stamp set, the flower was from the Workshop on the go stamp set.
The workshop on the go have some great stamp sets, check them out.   

Tommy
Regina made this Tommy card giving everyone a choice, with different  elements and papers. The stamp set was from the Workshop on the go Tommy.

Stacy was not able to attend, but her creative artwork was there.   We got to see alot of her  artwork on the raffle table, she made this hot air balloon,  3-D lamps, picnic baskets and a turtle all with our new paper.  

DREAM POP
This is the card that I brought to make, I wanted to feature  the May Dream Pop  paper  special.  This paper pack comes with  bright colors and resist.  If you look at the flower, you will see shiny lines that can be sponged in all different colors to match any look that you want.  The paper on the left is another paper from Dream Pop and we highlighted it with black shimmer trim.  "Frame it Up"  D1524, was framed with my favorite Joyful Birthday B1419.  I love the new screen stamp D1544 with the black tulle.  

Check this out!  Our new Spring catalog is here.  Your going to love all the new papers, kits and accessories. Go to the  calendar tab at the top of this page for January's busy schedule.
