Clementine Star

Another one of my favorite new products is the My Creations Star. A pre-assembled chipboard 3-D 12" star with hole for hanging, Z1803, $9.95. I've covered it with the new Clementine Paper Packet X7156B and embellished it with a medallion from the new Cricut Artiste cartridge Z1790, a layered fabric flower from the Cottage Assortment Z1794, and Chocolate Baker's Twine from the Neutral Assortment Z1701. All of these items are available on-line here.  ***Update 10-1-2012...CTMH has released a template to be used when cutting the star arms. I will include the PDF with each purchase!

 

 

Open House & Bracket Frame

Thanks to all that participated in my 1st Close To My Heart Open House last weekend. It was a lot of fun (and work :), but I sure enjoyed seeing a few old friends and meeting several new friends. I'll be posting pictures of some of the projects that I have created for display at the Open House.

This My Creations Bracket Frame Z1797 is one of my favorites from the new catalog! It's a pre-assembled chipboard bracket frame, 11" outer dimensions, 7" inner dimensions, and 1" deep. Price is $8.95. The paper packet used is Florentine X7153B. In addition, I used several CTMH embellishments: Sparkles Flourishes Z1708, Rhinestone Designer Brads Z1360, Dark Chocolate Striped Grosgrain ribbon Z1617, Bohemian Assortment Z1687, and Bouquet Assortment Z1694. The large Bonding Memories Glue pen 1512 worked perfectly to adhere the paper to the frame and Liquid Glass Z679 insured that the embellishments stayed put! All of these items can be purchased at my on-line business account....click here.
