Bring Back My Pack - Seaside Blog Hop



Welcome to this special Blog Hop featuring our Seaside Paper!  This paper was first introduced in 2015.  Now Close To My Heart has updated some of the colors and brought it back in their Bring Back My Pack special!!  This paper will be available through August (While Supplies Last).  The Seaside Blog Hop is a small hop feature just 8 consultants so you will get through it quickly!  If you came from Darly's Blog you are on the right track!  If you are just getting started, look for the link at the bottom of my post that will take you to the next blog.  When you get back to me, you will know you have completed the hop!  So grab your Pina Colada and let's take a walk by the sea!!

Back in February, my husband and I went on a Western Carribean Cruise which I had earned through Close To My Heart!  It was our FIRST EVER cruise so we had a lot of fun with the new cruising experience.  Our First stop was in Roatan.  I chose to document that stop with this Seaside Paper!  Let's take a look!

I used alot of the stickers that are included with the paper pack, but I also added some Cricut Elements.   I cut some Hibiscus flowers and the vine from our CTMH Flower Market Cartridge.  I used Raspberry and Smoothie for the flowers with Sweet Leaf for leaves.  My vine is Toffee cardstock.   The vine actually had alot of smaller vines and leaves on it but I snipped them off because I was looking more for a 'rope' type circle for my background.  I thought the vine worked perfectly.  

I decided to overlap my photos to give a little more dimension to pages.  I used foam tape under the photos that overlap to pop them up a bit.

I scattered Gold Glitter Gems and used Gold embellishing thread behind the flowers to put finishing touches on my pages.  Here is a close up so you can see how the photos are layered and how I used the Gold Embellishing thread behind my flowers.


Remember!!  This Seaside paper is ONLY available through August while supplies last!  Get it today to scrapbook your perfect seaside moments.  

You can find it on my website here;  www.stampinheaven.ctmh

Now it is time to hop over to Jessica's blog and see what she has created!

Now, I want to share with a cute way to make a gift card holder!  I used the Artiste Cricut Cartridge to make this holder.  It was very simple!  The Cricut cuts the card and it folds so that you can slip a gift card inside! I set the cricut to cut at 5".  I recycled an old gift card so my card is a little thick. This size worked well.   If inserting a regular card you can use 4 3/4" measurement.  "Merry Christmas" is also cut using the Artiste Cricut Cartridge.  I set the measurement to 2".               To re
