Damask Divas Valentine's Day Blog Hop

Welcome to Damask Divas Valentine's Day Blog Hop!

My name is Traci Williams and I am an Independent Consultant with Close to my Heart.

If you just came from Jessica Wilson's Craftin' and Stampin', you are in the right place.  If you are just arriving, be sure to visit Damask Divas page for all entries by clicking HERE.

For Valentine's Day, everyone should get a card and a special treat!  As you can see, I did just that!

The card was made using Stamp of the Month "This Moment".  I used a page from Brushed B&T papers as the background and then I cut a 3 x 4 label from White Daisy.  Using the new Pixie Double Thick Twine, I knotted one side and cut it then unraveled at edges before adding to the 3 x 4 label.  I used Pixie Exclusive Inks™ for the sentiment and cut out hearts from Art Philosophy cartridge with our Pink Glitter paper.

For the treat box, I used a 12 x 12 Cranberry card stock for the box twhich was made using a box shape from Cricut Design Space.  Most of the remaining cuts were from Close to my Heart's Art Philosophy and Artiste Cricut Collections.  So fun to create!

Damask Divas Pathfinding Blog Hop

Welcome to Damask Divas Pathfinding Blog Hop!

My name is Traci Williams and I am an Independent Consultant with Close to my Heart.

If you just stopped in from Jennifer Dykstra's page, you are in the right place!  If you just came across the blog hop, be sure to see all the wonderful entries by visiting Damask Divas by clicking HERE.

For my project, I wanted something simple but yet rustic.  Pathfinding B&T Papers are so beautiful and provide a modern rustic appeal.  The papers are so versatile through any project you want to do!!

This A2 card base is Colonial White with Pathfinding and Yuletide B&T Papers.  I had a Herringbone embossing folder that I wanted to use to give a dimensional look to the Yuletide paper in the background with the bottom layer of Champagne cardstock.  I then used coordinating colors with Pathfinding, Colonial White and Barn Red, I cut out 2 "Autumn" sentiments (same size) and attached them to create a shadow.  The acorn cut was cut using one B&T paper, the acorns and leaf fill was one side and the other side was the top layers of acorn and outer edging of cut.  I added a burlap bow in the upper corner along with rust colored Stickles too add a little bling to my acorn cut.

It is simple, clean and cute!

Damask Divas Scaredy Cat Blog Hop

Welcome to Damask Divas Scaredy Cat Blog Hop!

If you just came from Jessica Wilson's page, you are in the right place.  If you are just joining the hop here, please visit Damask Divas website to see the entire list of consultants!

My name is Traci Williams and I am an Independent Consultant with Close to my Heart and my project features a mini photo album with pocket pages.

Here is the project I made with the Scaredy Cat B&T Paper from Close to my Heart.

I received this mini album from a friend of mine and what a great time to decorate it up!
I also used previous Halloween papers from Close to my Heart...just to show that after a couple of years, you can still mix and match!

Scaredy Cat is a beautiful paper pack, it can work as a stand alone paper without incorporating Halloween into the mix...I also love the new color Close to my Heart added to this paper pack..it is called "Thistle"...Click--->>HERE to see the entire Thistle collection.

I measured every page of this album, that is one important thing to do!  Not every page is the same size on certain albums.  I penciled in the measurements on the specific page where I would cover with B&T papers and/or cardstock.

I also made cuts from the Artbooking Cricut Collection from Close to my Heart.

The Chevron Embossing Folder can be purchased with Close to my Heart.  Click here to see all the embossing folders Close to my Heart has by clicking--->>HERE.  For the BOO embossed page, I distressed around the word "BOO" and used sponge dauber along with Sunset Exclusive Ink Pad to add color to the embossed image.

Thank you for stopping by!  Next on the hop is Felicia Tortorici's page.  iF you are just joining the hop here, please visit Damask Divas website to see the entire list of consultants!
