Welcome back to another
Color My Heart Color Dare post! We are into our second year of providing this challenge featuring Close To My Heart Colors. (You may substitute with similar colors if you don't have the challenge colors). Thanks,
Sarah Stone, for your vision and hard work in creating and maintaining this creative outlet for Close To My Heart enthusiasts!

Close To My Heart has a new Idea Book coming out on August 1 and as a consultant I was able to acquire new products earlier. I'm having so much fun using the new Artbooking cricut cartridge and the Laughing Lola Cardmaking kit! The lattice overlay was cut from
Gypsy CS at 5.5" (page 50 of Artbooking handbook-- Overlay button). This is layered over
Blush CS. The horizontal strip was scallop punched from
Sorbet CS with our new
Scallop punch. Purple Gems (from the Laughing Lola Cardmaking Kit) were
applied within the scalloped edges.
I usually don't purchase the Cardmaking Kits but when I saw the stamp set that comes with this kit, I just had to get it. I
love, love, love the greeting; "You can never have too much happy"--what an awesome motto to live by! The Laughing Lola Cardmaking kit includes this stamp set, 15 cards and envelopes, 2 sheets of Laughing Lola paper, 2 sheets White Daisy, 1 sheet Outdoor Denim, 1 sheet Pear, 1 sheet Slate, 1 Whisper, Black & Silver, Baker's Twine (10 yards), 1 package of Purple Gems and Instructional Brochure--priced at $24.95--a great value!) Check out my
website on or after August 1 to order these fabulous items.
The background rays were stamped in
Sorbet ink. Most of the greeting was stamped in
Blush ink and the bottom of it was stamped in
Gypsy ink and glued over the top. The greeting label (an Artiste cut) was popped up with
3D Foam Tape.
