Pivot Slider Card with Zoe

I stumbled across a picture of a pivot slider card this morning (see Paula Knall's card here) and thought it was such a cute idea I had to make one today!  I pulled out my Zoe paper pack and had some fun putting this new-to-me style card together.  The butterfly and flowers are all cut from our Cricut carts.  I used some retired Prisma glitter on the butterfly - then I remembered why I don't use it so much - it is now all over my craft area!

You can see the pivot post the butterfly is attached to - there is an a semi-circle cut out of the card front so the butterfly can swoop through the flowers!

 The sentiment is a sneak peek from an upcoming set called "A Bunch of Love" that I'll link after it goes live on Monday!

Zoe is one of the packs from the annual book so it's still orderable through July.  April 30th is the last day for Regatta, Penelope or Charlotte so don't delay if you want any of those!  I loved them all but I'm very excited to get 3 new paper packs to show you starting on Monday!

Stay crafty my friends!

Heart2Heart Challenges - Sketch Challenge

Today at Heart2Heart we are having a sketch challenge!  I love sketch challenges because it always amazes me how one pattern can look so different depending on the papers, stamps and embellishments that you use.  Our sketch today is brought to us by Brandi Robinson - a fellow DT member and all around fabulous sketch creator! 

Here is the sketch we were given to inspire us.  This one is so cute I know it will become a go-to pattern for me!

I used a piece of Zoe paper and embossed it with our Hearts Embossing folder.  I then colored the raised hearts in with Shinhan marker to customize the paper. 

The rosette is from our Artiste cartridge.  I added a line of Limeaid washi tape to it before I glued the two pieces together and then highlighted the edges with marker to give it some pop.

Here is a close up of the darling frog from the Spring Critters stamp set.  This stamp set is retiring on April 31st so if you haven't picked this one up yet you should hurry!  I colored him with our Shinhan Markers and used the colorless blending pen to remove some color and create spots.

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope you'll "hop" on over to Heart2Heart Challenges and create something fun with this adorable sketch!  Remember you have all month to play along and you just have to use some CTMH product on your finished project!

Stay crafty my friends!

Heart2Heart Challenges - Two/Second Challenge

This card was created for the Heart2Heart Challenges "Two" Challenge this week.  My interpretation of this challenge is two objects, in this case two foxes plus two initials.  This one is my first Valentine for this year and obviously created for my husband Mark!

This kind of scene card where you take pieces from several patterned papers and bring them all together is one of my very favorite kinds of cards to create.  The orange fur comes from our Sangria collection, the tree bark overlay is from Urban, the blue herringbone sky is from Zoe and the leaves on the tree come from Kaleidoscope!  Plus I used Topiary, Kraft, White and Creme Brulee (retired) cardstock!  I always feel like I'm painting with the different colors and patterns of papers when I create on like this.

I hope you'll join us at Heart2Heart Challenges this week with your own interpretation of our "Two" challenge!
