Holiday Expressions New Product Blog Hop



If you came from Brandi Robinson's blog you are in the right place on the CTMH New Product Blog hop.

Please enjoy my creations using the new Decorative Border & Fancy tags dies. When you are finished continue this fantastic Blog Hop by heading over to Brenda Lapp's blog and enjoy her creative use of new products from the new Seasonal Expression Idea book. Of course you can start at the beginning of the hop by heading to Melinda Everitt's blog and see all the consultants participating.

The new die cut set Fancy Tags has a lot of fun shapes that can be added to projects.


The Border Set is great to add shapes and/or dimension to your cards or layouts. Here I am adding a sliced border to create texture in the card. I repeated it in two directions of the card.
,



The outside of the pocket card is made with the Boutique paper pack.  Below you can see where I scored the 6.5" x 10" pocket base before it was decorated with a die cut tag and stamped with Meant to Be.




Here is a pocket card I made using the Boutique paper pack and a scallop circle die cut and used the Meant to Be stamp set.




Next I used the Border Dies to decorate a simple layout from the new How To Book:  Love of Color, p.36 using a pattern from Volume 1 Make It From Your Heart and a Scallop Circle from the Fancy Tag dies.


Foam tape gives dimension to your layouts and cards by adding a bit of a shadow and height. 
I absolutely love the new dies but they are a little pricey. Remember you can book a gathering or on-line party and earn any item in the catalog for half price with a level 3 party. Contact me at Alayneswillinghands@gmail.com to set it up!
Now it is time to head over to Brenda's blog and she what she loves in the new Idea book!
Always, Alayne
