Cloud 9 National Papercrafting Blog Hop

Welcome to our Close to My Heart National Papercrafting Month Cloud 9 Blog Hop!  We have 22 Close to My Heart Consultants in this blog hop.  Each of them is going to show what they did with this awesome Cloud 9 Cardmaking Kit that Close to My Heart released on January 1st.  I am next in line in the hop after the wonderful and very talented, Maria Myers.  If you get lost, you will find a complete list of bloggers here.

I love our very trendy Cloud 9 Cardmaking Kit that Close to My Heart is offering for National Papercrafting Month.  The card patterns are so easy to put together and give you such fun artwork.  With all of the extra supplies you have left, I decided to make one card as shown in the kit instructions and then change it up a bit so that you have 10 different cards.

Card #1 is made exactly as pictured in the kit.  Isn't it cute?

Now I changed it up a bit.  I turned it on its side, flipped the patterned papers so the swirly pattern is the smaller piece of paper, and added a scalloped piece of the teal shimmer trim to add a little pizzaz.  See what a little bit of changing around can do?  You get an entirely different card with almost the same paper and measurements.

So how do you get a Cloud 9 Cardmaking Kit?
