Honey Bunny Digital Files = amazing flowers!

The Honey Bunny digital file collection from Close To My Heart has captured my heart ever so completely.  This collection features a layout and then additional images.  The simplicity of the flowers combined with the colors of the collection and an adorable pair.  I recently used these images in my monthly card class and wanted to share them here.   The beauty of a collection like this is once you have paired, and selected the colors, the embellishments, the images and concepts together for a layout or card set, you can use the same elements to create the opposite: either layout or card set - as the coordination part is already done!

And here are two additional art collections that I created using the same Honey Bunny digital files.  Like I said, I just can't get enough of their simplicity and loveliness.

First, is the Bloom & Grow Layout.  This has very few alterations from the original file.  For this layout, I used the beautiful Pink Glitter paper for the lattice overlay.  My goodness does it pop!  I found that this particular glitter paper was a little more challenging to work with and cut then CTMH's regular glitter paper so a few Cricut mishaps were made...where the full overlay didn't cut, or because it was a 45 minute cut, if the internet went out momentarily then the full cut stopped and couldn't be re-started.  However, this turned out to be inspiring as I didn't want to waste the partial lattice's!  I then incorporated the "oops" pieces into the 5" x 7" shaker cards that you will see later in this post.

This pre-cut layout is now available in my shop and the details can be found by clicking here.  

And these are the 5" x 7" shaker cards that I created with those extra lattice pieces and where I incorporated the Oval Shaker rims.

Floral 5" x 7" Shaker Card Set

This card set of 6: 2 each, of three designs, is also available in my shop and can be found using this link.

Supplies used in these projects are all from CTMH:  Toffee cs, Ballerina cs, Flamingo cs, Sage cs, Honey Butter cs, Seabrook cs, White Daisy cs, Honey Bunny patterned paper, Toffee Exclusive Ink Pad, White Word Die Cut Tags, Oval Shaker foam and acetate windows, Silver & Gold Glitter Gems, Pink Glitter Paper, Mini Glue Dots, Thin Foam Tape, Adhesive of choice, Red Line Adhesive, Fine Tip non-stick scissors, 5" x 7" card bases & envelopes, Value Cards & Envelopes, Oval Shaker Thin Cuts.

The supplies used are from Close to My Heart which is no longer in business.  You can contact me at: inallsassiness@gmail.com to see if I still have the items in my inventory or I can help advise you with an alternative color or product that I either have in my inventory, or a suggestion of a Stampin’ Up! Product that would compliment the project as I am now a Demonstrator with Stampin’ Up.  My website there is:  www.tonyasheridan.stampinup.net.

Cardstock Carnival - Tag layout

 It has been a little while!!  Life has been busy! But today, I have a layout to share that was inspired by the art department at Close To My Heart during their cardstock carnival celebration in March.  The layout could be easily re-created using border cuts from Cricut or other sources.  

The original art work was a cute little accordion book, however when I first saw it all I could think of was Shamrock right??  So this was the project for those who attended my "no-perks" day on Shamrock Thursday.  I really am not very good at following my own "no perks" rules  as participants still receive a project and supplies just not me teaching them.

Isn't this book just adorable?

So from here, I opted to make this into a 2-page 12" x 12" layout.  I used White Daisy as my base and used Limeaide, Clover and Evergreen for the shades of green.  The die cuts were pre-cut from CTMH and the string was a generic string that I had in my stash.  I sized, and cut, all of the tags on my Cricut.  For the Evergreen tag, I stamped the rainbow image from the current Operation Smile stamp set in Evergreen Exclusive Ink.  For the final touch, I added the Limeaide Enamel Dots from the Hunny Bunny Dot collection and some hand stitching using a White Gel Pen.  I, for one, am quite delighted with how the layout came together, and furthermore turned out.  

Here is the finished layout, as well as some close-ups.

The sentiment was stamped with a rock-and-roll technique of Limeaide and Clover Exclusive Inks.  The hearts are stamped with Limeaide Exclusive Ink and the cloud is stamped with Clover Exclusive Ink.

The rainbow was stamped with Evergreen Exclusive Ink.

Supplies used:  (X6030) Evergreen cs, (X6040) Clover cs, (X6075) Limeaide cs, (Z6512) Evergreen Exclusive Ink Pad, (Z6575) Limeaide Exclusive Ink Pad, (Z6507) Clover Exclusive Ink Pad, (1385) White Daisy cs, (X7302D) Hunny Bunny Enamel Dots, (D2190) Your Smile Operation Smile Stamp Set.  Additionally,  Thin Foam Tape, white string.  Current items are available on my website at: www.tonyasheridan.ctmh.com.

Have a Sassy Day!

Sassy 25 Layouts of Christmas - 2023. Layout 4. Tis The Season (Silver Bells)

Welcome to my Sassy 25 Layouts of Christmas 2023!  I will be celebrating the art of scrapbooking during the next 25 days leading up to Christmas and I invite you to join me!

So how does this work? For the next 25 days, I will share a layout here on my blog, in my In All Sassiness Scrapbooking Facebook Group and in my In All Sassiness Shop.  The layout will be available in kit form and quantities will be while supplies last.  Because many of the layouts are created with retired product, the quantities will vary from day to day so if you see one that you want, you will want to order it sooner verses later.  Additionally, there will be a product special that will compliment the Layout which will just be available for 24 hours. Grab, and order, the kits, and product deals that you love, select pick up at check out and then the items will be collectively at conclusion of the 25 days! Which saves you on individual shipping cost AND gives you a very happy box to open!!  A special note:  due to the roll-a-coaster ride of CTMH's inventory last December, I will be very pro-active and will placing one collective order at the end of each day to ensure I can get the product ordered. And of course, if you are one of VIP's you will receive VIP credit for all specials and layout kits that you order.

So with all of that being said, here is day four!!!

---------------------------------------------------------------

My fourth layout sports a new technique that I absolutely love: mosaics with acetate!  The technique was originally shared by Laura Beacham, from Australia, I find fun to create, and once done, it creates a wow-factor!  If you take note of the 1/2" strip of little squares towards the top of the layout, you will see the technique that I am speaking about.

This layout is created with the new Silver Bells paper suite which is a current collection.  My absolutely favorite part of this collection is the sweet Thin Cut set that comes in the Silver Bells Card Making workshop.  While I adore how the Thin Cuts were used in the cards, those Thin Cuts are amazing and are perfect for layouts as well!!

Additionally, for the title, I used the Tis The Season stand alone Thin Cut set.  This little Thin Cut set has quite the wow factor!  As I didn't want the title to get lost within the patterns of the papers, I adhered it to White Daisy, popped the title pieces up and adorned the spaces between the words with the silver enamel glitter dots from the Silver Bells collection.

This layout can now be ordered in my shop by clicking here.

Today's product special will be shared in a separate post.

Have a sassy day!

My third layout partners the beloved retired and new product all in one layout!  The two compliment each other so much that you would have thought they were created at the same time instead of several years apart.

I adore the softness of the Freshly Baked Dots and there are several colors, sizes, and sparkabilty to choose from!  Additionally, in this layout, I used the beautiful Papaya Shimmer Trim which is truly one of my favorite all time Shimmer Trims!  There is just something about it that pop, pop, pops!!!!  Here is pops the colors from the Claire papers so well.

Because the wood grain titles include multiple different titles, you could change the title to work with your own photos if desired.

My second layout also partners the beloved retired and new product all in one layout!  The two compliment each other so much that you would have thought they were created at the same time instead of several years apart.

This layout, "the best memories" was created with the Make Waves Suite.   I then added the current Teal Enamel Dots and the Teal Acrylic Titles to compliment the paper. I love how using the enamel dots between the diamond-squares - they certainly "pops".  The paper collection was originally featuring a mermaid and sea theme but with the way I used the papers, you would never know.  Not that I don't love mermaids, but I think it fascinating to create with a paper collection in an entirely different direction that how it was originally created.

Because the acrylic titles include multiple different titles, you could change the title to work with your own photos if desired.

Glitter Bethlethem Card

As we have now "officially" entered the Christmas season, I wanted to share a card that I created that I just adore! Simple.  Elegant. And made with glitter!

This is the stamp set and Thin Cut set that includes the Thin Cut for Bethlehem.  

How to create the card:

1.  Cut a piece of Sage cs to 3 1/2" x 8 1/2".

2.  Cut a piece of Pine cs to 3 1/4" x 8 1/4".

3.  Splatter the Pine cs with the Gold Shimmer Brush.  Allow a few minutes to dry.

4.  Center, and adhere, the Pine cs to the Sage cs.  

5.  Adhere a piece of Seabrook Shimmer Trim to card front. This extends across the horizontal width to the card and is about 1/2" to 3/4" above the bottom edge of the card.  Trim the edges of the shimmer trim off where it exceeds the card.

6.  Adhere a piece of Pine Shimmer Trim to the card front.  This extends across the horizontal width to the card and is approximately 1/4" above the Seabrook Shimmer Trim.

7.  Adhere the gold glitter cut of Bethlehem to the base.  This is just right of centered and is 1/8" above the top of the Pine Shimmer Trim.  This piece is quite fragile so adhere with care. I found the CTMH Adhesive Runner worked the best for not tearing the cut.

8.  Using a hand held hole punch, cut out circles from the Pine and Seabrook Glitter Paper.

9.  Arrange the glitter circles in a half-circle from the left side of Bethlehem, around and over, the piece, to the right side of the of Bethlehem.  Alternate the two colors and adhere with Mini Glue Dots.

10.  Adhere the card front to a Slimline Card.

Supplies used:  (Z7093) Nativity Scene Stamp & Thin Cuts, (Z4659) Pine Shimmer Trim, (Z4660) Seabrook Shimmer Trim, (Z4610) Pine Glitter Paper, (Z4611) Seabrook Glitter Paper, (Z3316) Gold Shimmer Brush, (X6070) Pine cs, (X6045) Sage cs, (Z3238) Gold Glitter Paper, (X257) Slimline Cards & Envelopes, (retired) Mini Glue Dots, (Z7010) CTMH Adhesive Runner.  Current items can be ordered on my Close To My Heart website at:  www.tonyasheridan.ctmh.com.

For those who would prefer For those who would prefer a pre-cut, & pre-stamped set of this card, I have added it to my card buffet.  You can order the cards for $2.50 each or 7/$15.  (click on the quantities for the associated links) I will also be hosting a few pop-up card buffets over the next few weeks so be on look-out for those as well.

Create with sass,
