For the Core Catalog 2021–2022 Blog Hop I created two cards.

My first card was inspired by a card on page 48. I did not plan to make it quite so similar; I was planning to use the blue/green plaid, but I could not decide other colors to use (there are so many pretty choices) so I went with the inspiration in the catalog. I used Desert Rose on the left and right sides. I used second generation Desert Rose behind the sentiment. I was so anxious to use the new Card Front Stencils, that I did not look through my papers to create the banners. The larger banner was created from White Daisy Cardstock. I first applied Tattered Rose Distress Oxide™ Ink and then used the stencil with Vintage Photo. For the second banner I dabbed a little Vintage Photo, Seedless Preserves and Tattered Rose on my craft mat, misted with water, mixed and applied with a paint brush. When it was dry, I stamped with Tattered Rose. To add some sparkle, I used Mocha Glitter Paper, Wild Berry Loose Sequins and Gold Embellishing Thread.

My second card was created with a As You Grow Picture My Life™ Card.

I used part of this PML card for a CTMH product launch event and I thought it was just waiting to be made into a card. I trimmed ⅛" from the left and right sides to make it 3¾" wide (it was already 5¼" high) then layered it on Harbour cardstock. I stamped and embossed on the lighter side of Harbour, cut a fish aka dove tail and attached the sentiment with Thin 3-D Foam Tape.
