Bring Back My Pack—Chantilly

Welcome to the Bring Back My Pack—Chantilly Blog Hop. The BBMY—Chantilly Blog Hop is brought to you by the same CTMH Makers who put on the Stamp Of The Month Blog Hops.

We have just over five Makers sharing their creations with the Chantilly collection. If you just happened upon my post, you can complete the hop by clicking the link to the next blog (often found near the bottom of the page) until you come back to my page.

You should have arrived here from ***ScrappyChicks***. If you get lost along the way, Melinda Everitt keeps a list of blog hop participants on her blog at If You Bling It.

For the Chantilly hop I created this birthday card (click any image if you would like a better look).

I started by using the Dots Slimline Thin Cuts to cut the light side of Green Apple (save the inside dots for a future shaker card). I layered that on the darker side of Lemonade. I die cut a partial piece of Scarlet cardstock using a scallop rectangle and a piece of White Daisy using the companion straight edge rectangle. I stamped the card with White Daisy Pigment Ink and heat embossed with White Super Fine Embossing Powder. Once I knew how long I wanted the White Daisy piece, I used a paper trimmer to cut off the "excess". That helped me determine how long to cut the scallop rectangle; I used low tack tape to hold the previously cut piece in place and just ran the end though the die cutting machine.

I colored the cake with a Waterbrush and ink "smooshed" to the top of the stamp pad. I stamped the banners in various colors on White Daisy and fussy cut. To create the "string" for the banners, I die cut just the top of the Season's Greeting Thin Cut then trimmed off the bottom. I stamped the happy birthday banners, flower and leaf on White Daisy and fussy cut each.

I carried the colors inside the card for the sentiment. I used the same technique as on the front, I cut a partial scallop rectangle and once I determined the size, I used low tack tape to hold the cardstock in place while I trimmed off and scallped the end (let me know in the comments if this written description does not make sense and I will write a post with more photos).

I also created this Thank You card.

This time I used the Dots Slimline Thin Cut on the darker side of Lagoon cardstock and layered it on top of Lemonade. I used the scallop rectangle and coordinating straight edge rectangle at full size on Ballerina Glitter Paper and Scarlet cardstock. I cut the Simple Serif letters from White Daisy then stamped in a variety of colors with stamps from the Scrapbooking Workshop. I stamped flowers, leaves and vines on White Daisy then fussy cut.

I hope you like the cards I shared today. Your next stop on the hop is ***Kim Loewen***. Before you leave, the supplies I used to create the cards are listed below:

All supplies are from Close To My Heart except where noted:

If you do not have a CTMH Maker, you may purchase the supplies I used at my eCommerce website.

If you have a few moments, I would love to know what you think about my slimline cards. Thank you for hopping with us!
