Blog Hops with Heart - Hopping with Sangria and Gratitude



I am so grateful to join in on this great blog hop with such talented CTMH consultants!

Here's our blog hop list:

Amie Kiger 
Kelly Janes 
Becca Whitham 
Shelly Nemitz   
Stephanie Davis 
Amy McVey (you're here!)

You should have come here from Stephanie's blog.

On to my project:

I loved the Sangria paper pack from the moment that I saw it.
It's gorgeous colors and designs caught my attention right away!



Supplies used:
Gold thread and my sewing machine (not CTMH)

When making this card, I used one of the card designs from Make It From Your Heart Vol. 1 How-To Program for inspriration.
I stitched the first background paper onto my card base with gold thread and my sewing machine.

I cut out and inked the edges of the chevron pattern paper in Cocoa ink.
I put my desert sand CS piece through my Cuttlebug machine with my Vine Embossing Folder and then swiped the top of the embossed piece with Cocoa ink.

I attached my chevron piece down and then my Gold Shimmer Trim.
I then layered my embossed piece on top.

Finally, I used the rock and roll technique on my pumpkin stamp.
I first inked the stamp up in Sunset ink and then rocked the edges with New England Ivy ink.  I also gently tapped it down once in the New England Ivy ink to pick up a little more green on the inside of the pumpkin.
I then fussy cut out my stamped image and placed it on the top.

I hope you enjoyed my peek at Sangria and Gratitude!
