New Product Blog Hop!

Welcome to the 2014 New Product Blog Hop!  We will be featuring new products from the recently released Annual Inspirations Idea Book!  If you have came here from Kathleen's Blog, you are on the right path.  The blog hop is a great big circle, you can start here and work your way around.  If you get lost along the way, you can find a complete list of participating consultants here. My card was created with the fabulous new Seaside Paper line and the new Seaside Greetings Stamp Set.

My card is based on the great sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches.  I of course had to add a few layers...

Design Tip:Want your brads to line up perfectly? Simply pierce your holes with the Stitch Guide.  While the ruler is designed for stitching, the clear design allows for perfect placement of your brads as well.

Annual Inspirations New Product Blog Hop

I have joined in on the Annual Inspirations Blog Hop with other fellow Close To My Heart Consultants to showcase the great new products in the new Annual Inspirations Idea Book.  While I am not ready for summer to be over, I am in love with the fall papers found in the Pathfinding paper line.  The majority of my card was created with the Pathfinding Cardmaking Kit. While the cardmaking kit comes complete with instructions and supplies to create 15 cards, I have ventured out and created my card based on the sketch this week at Mojo Monday!

The Pathfinding Cardmaking Kit comes with an exclusive stamp set.  Even if you are not into making cards from a kit, the stamp set and contents are well worth purchasing for your own designs.  I stamped my own background paper using stamps from the kit.

 I added a few googly eyes from my stash to give the owl a little character.
