Hello Seasonal Expressions 2 Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Close to My Heart 
Seasonal Expressions 2 Blog Hop

I am following {Maureen O'Sullivan's Blog.}   We have almost 40 Close to My Heart Consultants participating in our Close to My Heart Seasonal Expression 2 Blog Hop.   If you lose your place while traveling through our blog hop, the complete list of participants can be found here.    

Did you know that Close to My Heart released a new mini catalog called Seasonal Expressions 2?  It went live on April 1st and you can order from it until July 31st.  I love, love, love all of the new products!  We have 2 new paper lines - Blossom and Jackson.  Now, who doesn't love new patterned paper?

Thank you for hopping through our Blog Hop.  

In the Seasonal Expressions 2, the Workshop on the Go for Blossom is a Card Workshop.  It is super cute.  It has an exclusive stamp set that is one that you have to have.  Great for all ages!  And it makes 15 cards.  

I decided to make the Blossom Workshop on the Go cards as designed and then on a second set changed the paper pack to the Jackson paper pack to show you how versatile the stamp set and the card design is.  Close to My Heart includes 3 original card designs in this Workshop on the Go and who is to say that you cannot use the pattern for different paper packs?

So, on to my cards.  

           

The card on the left is the card using the Blossom Paper Pack.  It is so bright and Fun!  The one on the right is the one I made using the Jackson Paper Pack.  I think it is pretty fun as well!

Here is a close up of my card again using the Blossom Paper Pack.

And here is a close up of my card using the Jackson Paper Pack.  I think it worked pretty well.  What do you think?

The Blossom Workshop on the Go calls for you to adhere a piece of the Juniper Thick Twine to the card and then cut a second piece, knot it and fray the edge and adhere it near the first piece of twine.  Here is another way to do it.

Take a 5" piece of Thick Twine.  You can either loop the twine once around a pencil and tie a knot or just tie a knot leaving a loop near one end, but leaving enough left that you will get the placement shown in the directions.

Then cut the loop so that you have two even pieces above the knot.  Fray the edges just by unraveling the twine above the knot.  Now adhere with a very thin line of Liquid Glass.

Thank you for visiting my blog.
