New Product Blog Hop: Huntington

Many thanks to Tresa Black for hosting this CTMH New Product Blog Hop!  Enjoy the amazing art you will see as you hop around consultants' blogs!

 For my entry I made two cards with CTMH's NEW Huntington Paper Pack.   Isn't this paper gorgeous?   This first card is made using the September Stamp of the Month, Poster Tidings.   I chose to stamp half of the image on one square of card stock, and half on the other for a different look.

Then I highlighted the word "gratitude" by stamping it on the Huntington Cashmere print, cutting it out and 3-D taping it on top of the original word.   I added our new Bronze Shimmer Trim (LOVE it!!!) and some self-adhesive bronze bling from our NEW Rosewood Mini Medley (beautiful mini medley!). Everything is inked in Cashmere.  Stamp pads used are Autumn Terracotta, Olive, Barn Red and Cashmere.

Here's another card made with Huntington and the Rosewood Mini Medley again.   This time there is no stamping, but I used a sentiment from the Huntington Stickease.  I distressed paper edges with our edge distresser, and popped up the stickease and it's Cocoa mat.  A simple, ten minute card!

A closer shot showing the details:

Thanks for looking at my cards -- enjoy the rest of the hop!
