Hey Handsome - part 2

I'm back with some more tweaks to the Hey Handsome Cardmaking Kit I featured on my previous post.

I used the kit instructions, with some different stamps, thin cuts, and changed the papers for other ones in my stash. Here's what I came up with!

I thought these glasses reminded me of Dame Edna (RIP Barry Humphries) and I wanted to do a Mrs Doubtfire-esque design reminiscent of a floral nana blouse, lace, and pearl buttons.

I went for a more subdued look with this sympathy card. The little chevron stitching stamp makes it really look like a pocket.

This one gives me Quirky Nurse vibes, I think it's due to the collar color I used. The heart is a little too small to be a pocket by itself, I used it anyways!

This one, be still my crafty heart. I adore how this turned out! It's so cheery and blokey!

This one was a test run for a split collar look. More tweaking to come.

Which of these variations is your favorite? It's a tie between Mrs Doubtfire and Leafy Blokey Birthday for me. Such a simple switch to create an entirely different look, with using other papers. Will you give this kit a go?

Hey Handsome

Hi there, I'm Creating with Kara Davies, your Independent CTMH Consultant. Yesterday was my monthly crop, Craft Day. I chose to work on the Hey Handsome Cardmaking Kit. I got nearly everything cut while at Craft Day and finished all 16 cards later at home.

I brought snacks for the ladies that came along to craft with me. The new Bluey album Dance Mode had to make an appearance.

Design 1

Design 2

Design 3. I don't have sandpaper on hand so I used my keys and scissors to scuff up the cardstock to look more like denim. Use what you have!

Design 4

These glasses are so cute. I used a metallic marker to color them in for a pop of color.

The kit includes this exclusive stamp + thin cut set, gold glitter gems, 16 card bases and envelopes, cardstocks, papers, and printed full color instructions.

Click here to add this kit to your next order.

Check back later this week to see how I turned this masculine kit into a feminine one!

Cedar & Pine - CTMH Australasian Blog Hop

lf you arrived here from Lauren's CTMH Craftings, keep reading for heaps of inspiration and project ideas!

This hop features the Cedar & Pine paper collection from our Nov/Dec Catalog.

Cedar & Pine is my favorite Christmas collection for 2019. The big bold blooms, the color palette, and the nice mix of paper designs caught my eye and hasn't let go!

The featured colors in this collection are Evergreen, Candy Apple, Peach, Mint, Saffron, French Vanilla, Linen, Black, White Daisy.

The cardstock packet is sheets of French Vanilla, Linen, Peach, Saffron, Candy Apple, and Evergreen. What a yummy mix of colors to use!

I made a TON of pages and cards using Cedar & Pine paper and cardstocks. This is one of my layout kits I came up with. Nice and easy and with a bit of sparkle.

After I did my layout kits, I dove in headlong to creating card kits with my scraps. I don't have the current nutcracker stamp & thin cuts so I dug in my stash for this one.

I borrowed the lace border and stitched circle thin cuts from another consultant for a different project when inspiration struck. This is the result.

I had a pile of zipstrips leftover and made this one.

To make these projects, I used my basic toolkit plus these materials. Click through or contact your consultant to purchase. Basic Toolkit: (Versamat, Trimmer, Scissors, Ruler, Adhesive Runner, Foam Dots, Pen, Stamping Starter Kit), Cedar & Pine Paper Packet and Cardstock, White Card Value Pack, White Daisy New England Ivy and Kraft Exclusive Cardstocks, Silver Glitter Paper, Lace Border Basic Circles Stitched Circles and Be Merry* Thin Cuts, Liquid Glass and Fine Tip Applicator, Clear Sparkles, Cream Ribbon* and Green Enamel Triangles*, Candy Apple New England Ivy and Espresso Exclusive Inks, Make It from Your Heart™ Volume 3 and Volume 4, S1405 You've Got A Friend* D1557 Candyland* B1455 Be Jolly* and Angel Policy stampsets. *Retired/discounted/WSL items

I'd love it if you'd leave a comment below and pin my projects. Pop over to see what Maz has made with Cedar & Pine!
