Boutique Featured Paper Blog Hop

Welcome to our First Featured Paper Blog from the  Close to my Heart Holiday 2018 Idea book!

We are showcasing items from our Boutique Paper Pack with various projects created by talented Close to my Heart Consultants. I am so excited to share our fantastic creations!
If you are visiting from  Shirley Ross’s blog then you are on the right track, if not please start at the beginning with our hostess Carol Loftus. See below for your next stop!
In this pack, we have Featured colors: Sugarplum, Peach, Ballerina, Saffron, Peacock, Glacier, Charcoal, Linen, White Daisy. Do you see some new colors? Yes, Close to my Heart has updated our color pallet with some really pretty colors! I am very happy with the soft colors of this Boutique paper pack.

 

My Creation is a notebook or to do list.

This idea was gleaned from a Close to my Heart convention many years ago. I wish I could remember who to give credit to.
Terri Howard my Sister consultant showed how to personalize the pen at one of our unit meetings.
In our household, we use these as the grocery lists. I add magnets to the back so it might stick to the fridge.
You can see from the photo I also created a very cute pen/pencil clip to keep that pen handy I also added the Boutique papers to the pen for an extra touch. I found directions from a Pinterest. I will send a link in another post and show the pen how to at that time.

To do list

For this project I used: a 5×8 notepad from Staples I ask the copy center to slice down the middle these are sold in packs of 12 so I end up with 24 pads

These are the colors I used in the Boutique paper pack.

Ballerina Cardstock
X5994

product imageThis pretty floral from the  Boutique packet.
I have created a file for you in design space if you use the Cricut explore or the Maker. see here:  https://design.cricut.com/#/design/108309457
If not I cut the Charcoal cardstock 3×9.5 inches. Then score at 1-1/8th inch again at 1-3/8 inch. See photo:
Next, I glued pad using Close to my Heart Liquid Glass 
Adding strips of Ballerina and floral to top of Pad adds the pop of color after gluing the strips I wrapped  Mink Twine. I then place the oval cut-outs provided in the file. You can also use our oval thin cuts. Oops I almost forgot to mention the stamp set I used!!
My favorite item is  3d foam tape.  I like to pop those words and call attention to the stamp.
Here you go it is finished
 I hope you enjoyed my latest creation I plan on making more of these and selling at a local craft fair. I am super excited! Be sure to check back soon for more fun creations! If you would like to have fun join our group of consultants take a look here!
