Through Thick and Thin Birthday Cards for Joyful Stars May Blog Hop


Welcome to the Joyful Stars May Blog Hop.  If you have come from Nancy's Blog, then you are on the right track. Thanks for joining us today.  Close To My Heart has a brand new catalog with fabulous new products.  There are also specials for National Scrapbook Month and Day that are available while supplies last. 

I have been "playing" with one of the stamps sets from National Scrapbooking day called Through Thick and Thin.  It comes in a bundle with products to make 20 cards!  One side of the paper is coated UV pattern that looks fabulous!

Kit contents:
1 – My Acrylix® Through Thick & Thin Stamp Set (exclusive)
6 – glossy UV-coated patterned cardstock sheets (1 Canary, 1 Candy Apple, 1 Flamingo, 1 Green Apple, 1 Lagoon, 1 Sapphire)
2 – White Daisy cardstock sheets
1 – Gold Glitter Gems (Z3312)
20 – white card bases & envelopes



This card uses the stamps and some background paper from X7256B Aurora Paper and X9015 Mix-in Paper Packet.  The hexagon shape is a thin cut from the Aurora Scrapbooking stamp and thin cuts.  The red "corona virus" are stamps from a retired stamp set and thin cuts Z3707 Blossoming Friendship. (Idea to use the stamp to represent the Corona Virus is from another CTMH consultant, Sandy Zimmer)



Here is a peek at the inside of the card.  The toilet paper roll is stamped and fussy cut, then embossed using a retired CTMH folder to give it a quilted look.


Here is one that uses a pattern from the card kit with a different sentiment.



Be sure to stop back next month to join us again.
Now it is time to hop on over to Joyce's Blog.
