Close To My Heart's Retiring List!!

The Close To My Heart Retiring List has been announced!! 

With the release of each new Idea Book, we introduce some new products and retire others.

It is always bittersweet to see products that I love be added to the list, but I know Corporate is just making room for TONS of FUN new goodies!!  

The Spring/Summer 2014 Idea Book will be jam-packed with them, and you can get your hands on them beginning February 1st.

Join my team now...and you can get them in January!! 

Be sure to check out the RETIRING LIST to see all retiring items and grab your favorites while you can as once an item is placed on the retiring list, it is available on a while-supplies-last basis. 

As ever, stamp sets continue to have a minimum one year life cycle—so any new stamp introduced in the Autumn/Winter Idea Book will continue to be orderable throughout the Spring/Summer 2014 Idea Book period, even if it isn’t shown in the printed catalog. 

All live stamp sets are always shown in the “Shop” area of my Online Business Address.

Close To My Heart's Roxybonds Scrappers Team Blog Hop Featuring Chantilly!!

Welcome to the Roxybonds Scrappers Team Blog Hop

We will be featuring artwork from the Chantilly Paper Pack (X7163B).  

If you have come here from Amber's Blog, then you are on the right path.

Your next stop will be Jen's Blog.
I had so much fun with this card -- Greetings.  

The card base is cut at 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" from Cotton Candy Cardstock (X5760).

The White Daisy Cardstock (1385) is layered and cut at 5 1/4" x 4".

The tall piece of Cotton Candy is cut at 5" x 2 1/2".

The Chantilly (X7163B) piece is layered and cut at 4 7/8" x 2 3/8".

The medium piece of Cotton Candy is cut at 2 1/2" x 2 1/2".

The Chantilly green piece is layered and cut at 2 3/8" x 2 3/8".

The sentiment Cotton Candy backdrop is cut at 1 1/2" x 2 1/8".

The White Daisy sentiment piece is cut at 1 3/8" x 2".

I used the Corner Rounder (Z578) on all edges.

The flower yo-yo was created by cutting the Chantilly piece at 1" x 6 1/2".  

I then used the Martha Stewart Loops Border Punch along the top.

At each valley I scored it and then accordion folded it.

Glue the ends together, press down in the center and affix a 1" circle to the back with glue to hold it together.

In the center I added an Acrylic Flower from the Claire Assortment (Z1813) with a Glue Dot (1772).

The sentiment was stamped using the set 4 My Friend (D1510) in Cotton Candy Ink (Z2193).

I used the 3-D Foam Tape (Z1151) to pop the White Daisy off of the Cotton Candy.

I then tied Lagoon Baker's Twine from the Baker's Twine Paradise Assortment (Z1702) around it.

* * * * * * * * * *

This card was completely ME inspired...LOL -- Hip-Hip-Hooray!!

Many times I cardlift someone else's artwork and then modify it to make it mine. This one was completely dreamed up by ME!! WooHoo!!

The card base is cut at 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" from White Daisy Cardstock (1385).
I also punched the following cardstocks using the EK Success 2 Point Flag Punch.

3 x Sunset (X5758),
2 x Twilight (X5666),
3 x Pear (X5764),
3 x Buttercup (1271), and
3 x Cotton Candy (X5760)
4 x Flower Chantilly (X7163B)
2 x Green/Backside of the Flower Chantilly
I used the Quilling Tool (Z1795) to roll the ends of each of the flags to give them some dimension.
For the sentiment I used the Artiste Cricut Collection Banner (Z1790) on White Daisy Cardstock and stamped the Hip-Hip-Hooray image in Cotton Candy Ink (Z2193) using the Artiste Collection Birthday Set (D1529).

I then used the 3-D Foam Tape (Z1151) to pop the White Daisy off the card.
Lastly I added 5 large square rhinestones from the Clear Sparkles Assortment (Z1752).

* * * * * * * * * *
And for my last card I did a simple -- Cheer Up.

The card base is cut at 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" from White Daisy Cardstock (1385).

The green Chantilly is layered and cut at 5 1/4" x 4".
The flower Chantilly piece is layered and cut at 1 3/4" x 4".

The Cotton Candy Cardstock (X5760) is cut at 1" x 4".
I then used the EK Success Double Crochet Lace Edge Punch along both sides and cut it in half.
The Buttercup (1271) Cardstock to back the framed sentiment was created using the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge (Z1686) and cut at 2 1/2".
The sentiment frame piece was then cut on White Daisy at 2 1/4".

The frame was stamped using the set Frame Flair (D1546) in Cotton Candy Ink (Z2193).

The sentiment was stamped using the set 4 My Friend (D1510) in Cotton Candy Ink.

I used the 3-D Foam Tape (Z1151) to pop the White Daisy off of the Cotton Candy.

I then added 3 medium Pink Glitter Gems (Z1807) to the top left and bottom right corners.

Hope you enjoyed my Chantilly Cards.
