Red White Kaboom! Hop

Welcome to the Red, White, Kaboom! Blog Hop!  Happy 4th of July!  We hope you are having a great holiday and thanks for spending a little time with us today.  You should have come from Theresa. If not, go back and start the hop at Alicia's blog.  We hope you enjoy our creative efforts we have to share today.  Enjoy your holiday!

For my project today, I created a fun 4th of July card. All the paper I used came from my scrap stash and is either Close to My Heart or Recollections. I used the Artiste Cricut cartridge to cut my pinwheel shapes out and then I used the coordinating pinwheel stamp set for my stars and stripes. I inked them using ruby & outdoor denim. The yellow pinwheel "holder" is inked in honey. I stamped that and then hand cut it out. I have the top part sitting on the card with pop dots. The blue stripes does spin as well! Let's celebrate came from the same set as the pinwheels.

Ingredients:

Close to my Heart ink: Honey, Outdoor Denim, Ruby

Washcloth Cupcakes

Neal's best friend and his fiance are expecting a baby! We are so excited for them! The shower just passed and I made a few goodies for them =) 

The 1st thing I made was a 1/2 dozen cupcakes...made out of baby size washcloths! More than likely the last set I make too! Rolling those washcloths wasn't the easiest thing to do! 

I used a handful of goodies for this set. All of my very favorite products! 

The 5x7 tray is from the Sil Store. My cupcake liners are from CTMH Artiste Cartridge. My little flag's are from Jaded Blossom using their Treat Flags. I stamped the flags with Babies and Weddings & Sweet Baby. I used a CTMH slate ink pad.  

I just recently re-signed up with Close to my Heart as a consultant. I did this about 1.5 years ago but didn't really get into it. I would love to get it going off the ground and will start having some giveaways shortly! If you every have questions about a product, or need any, please let me know!

Jaded Blossom Treat Flags
