CTMH Bring Back My Pack — Blossom Blog Hop

Welcome to the Bring Back My Pack—Blossom Blog Hop featuring anything from the Blossom Collection. This is a special hop from the group of CTMH Makers who bring you the SOTM Blog Hops. On our Blossom blog hop we have over 15 participating bloggers. If you just happened upon my post, clicking the link to the next blog (typically found near the bottom of the page) will take you full circle.

If you are arriving from ***Catherine Nowak's CatScrapbooking*** then you are on the right track; a complete list of participants can be found at Melinda Everitt's If You Bling It.

The Blossom collection was originally in Seasonal Expressions 2 (and was available from April 1, 2015 through August 31, 2015). The color palette for the collection then was Glacier, Lagoon, Pear, Smoothie, Sunset, and White Daisy; the current color palette is Glacier, Lagoon, Green Apple, Smoothie, Nectarine, and White Daisy.

I had some of the hero paper left over from the original Blossom collection. I also recently found a One Sheet Wonder pattern in a private Facebook group that I wanted to try, so the two came together to help me create nine cards.

On my first card (above), in addition to Blossom, I used White Daisy and Nectarine cardstock, Sunbeam Holographic Paper and Stitched Simple Brackets. The sentiment is from Every Bit of Wonderful.

In addition to Blossom, the above card has White Daisy and Nectarine cardstock, and Sunbeam Holographic Paper. The die cuts were created with Stitched Scalloped Brackets. The stamp is from Treasured Memories.

The banner behind the top sentiment is from Party Banners Thin Cuts and the die cuts under the bottom stamping are from Stitched Brackets Thin Cuts. The sentiment is from the stamp set exclusive to the Bloom with Grace Cardmaking Workshop Kit.

My final card uses Blossom, White Daisy and Nectarine cardstock and Sunbeam Holographic Paper. The pattern I was following suggested using the Zip Strip, but I was not in love with the diagonal stripes with the Floral so I stamped a "Zip Strip" using Happiness Lives Here—Cardmaking and Sentiments & Stitches. The die cuts are from Scalloped Circle and Basic Circles Thin Cuts. The sentiment is from In Your Time of Need.
