Feel So Blessed with Falling For You Paper

This month the CTMH Corporate Artists created some wonderful projects using the SOTM, Feel So Blessed, and the featured paper, Falling For You.

This artwork is in addition the artwork published in Holiday Expressions. The Corporate Artists created a layout, journal and card.

If you would like to create something similar, the needed supplies are:

Please click on the image if it is too small to read; if you would like a PDF of the recipes, you will find it here. I was inspired by the card.

I did not have any of the Fern zip strip remaining so I created my own with Fern cardstock and the Leaves embossing folder. I used a nail file to sand the raised images to expose the white core of the cardstock. I also choose to not fussy cut leaves from the patterned paper and instead used the Falling for You Cardmaking Bundle. The recipe does not list what was used to color the images so I choose the ShinHan™ Touch Twin™ Markers.

All supplies I used to create this card are from Close To My Heart:

• My Acrylix™ stamp sets: September 2017 SOTM Feel So Blessed Stamp Set (S1709)
• Falling For You Paper Packet (X7223B)
• 12" X 12" Cardstock: White Daisy (1385), Fern (X5960), Pebble (X5955)
• 5½" × 4¼" White Cards & Envelopes, Value Pack (X254)
• Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pads: Fern (Z2850), Pebble (Z2833), Charcoal (Z2831)
• Black Memento™ Ink Pad (Z899)

• Supplies not from Close To My Heart: Scotch Quick-Dry Adhesive, nail file, glass cutting mat and craft knife

I started to create a Gratitude Journal, but the reality is that it probably will not be finished before the end of the month, so I am sharing my Cricut® Design Space file in case you have some free time and would like to create the journal. You will need the Cricut® Artbooking Collection physical cartridge (Z3169) linked to your Cricut® account. The Cricut® cuts are:

• Small Page Cutout ― #M4607A ― page 38 ― height 5″ ― Shift+PhotoMat2 <!> ― I used the slice, weld and hide contour features in Design Space to make the binding holes closer together and move them to the other end of the page and to add a score line
• Circle ― #M46F6E ― page 38 ― height 1¼″ ― Shift+Border <TeamWork>

If you create a Gratitude Journal, please share photographs. I hope you enjoy these additional projects.
