Red, White and Blue - Use Your Stash Blog Hop!

Today at Use Your Stash Blog Hops we have a three color challenge - use any 3 colors plus the addition of Black and/or White to create your item. If you are coming here from Shirley's blog you are on the right track! 

The colors I chose are Smoothie, Crystal Blue and Gold with a wee dash of black and white. I wanted to make a card to use this awesome sentiment from our Operation Smile Happy Everything stamp set.

Triangles are a hot trend right now so I decided to add some glitter tape triangle confetti to give this card a bit more dash. I had to watch my fingers when trimming as our MicroTip Scissors are SHARP but I love the non-stick surface for cutting sticky items!

Now hop on over to my friend and Convention buddy Sheila's blog and see what she has created for us today from her stash!  I had so much fun hanging out with Sheila during Convention and playing at Disneyland with her my last morning there!

Happy Everything Blog Hop - Operation Smile Stamp!

Welcome to the Happy Everything Blog Hop!  Today we are showcasing our new Operation Smile stamp set Happy Everything.  If you've come here from Angela's Blog you are on the right track.  This hop is one big circle so eventually you'll come back here but if you do get lost along the way, the full listing of participating CTMH Consultants can be found HERE.

This stamp set is so versatile and fun that I had a hard time picking what kind of card I wanted to make!  In the end I decided to create a bright and cheery birthday card using our Shinhan Touch Twin markers.

I used the fine tip end to color in my balloons and some of our white enamel stars to match my color scheme.  I *love* that you can use our alcohol markers to color match accessories perfectly!  The balloon shine was created by using the Colorless Blender marker to remove just a bit of color from each balloon.

 I think this sweet sentiment will work great for teen cards and adult cards too!

I used the thicker end of the markers to color diagonal stripes of each color overlapping to make a rainbow.  A dash of Black Shimmer Trim behind it finishes off my Art Philosophy Cricut Cut shape.

Operation Smile is a wonderful charity you can read about HERE.  I'm so proud to work for a company that supports this group and directly impacts the life of so many children each year.  Each time you purchase one of our exclusive and adorable Operation Smile stamp sets $3 is given to this cause!
