National Scrapbooking Month Blog Hop - Blue Skies


It's National Scrapbooking Month!!  We've got a special to help you celebrate and we want to inspire you with a lot of creativity!  So, WELCOME to our Blue Skies Blog Hop!  If you came from Brenda Lapp's blog, you are on the right track!  If you are just getting started, look for the link for the next blog at the bottom of my post!  The hop is a big circle, so when you get back to where you started, you will have finished the hop!  If you get lost along the way, you can find the entire list HERE.

 I just LOVE our Blue Skies paper and the embossed cardstock!  I couldn't wait to get creative with it!  I wanted to try to create a layout using the Blue Skies Stamp Plus Thin Cuts and the Sticker sheet without adding cricut cuts.  I was pretty happy with how it turned out!

The base pages I used have a beautiful array of flowers printed in the corner with a banner and the word "Wonderful".   On the left page I actually cut slits above and below the word 'Wonderful' to slide my strips of cardstock behind.   For the right page, I turned the paper so that the flowers and word were in the RIGHT corner, which of course, made the word go up the side of the page.  I cleverly covered this up by placing my strips over the word and adding one of the big floral stickers!



Here are the products I used on these pages:
Blue Skies Paper and Sticker Sheet
Blue Skies Cardstock
White Daisy Cardstock
Blue Skies Stamp Plus Thin Cuts
Sapphire Exclusive Ink
Candy Apple Exclusive Ink
Canary Exclusive Ink
Green Apple Exclusive Ink
Pixie Exclusive Ink
Clear Sparkles
3D Foam Tape

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 measureme...
