CTMH Blossom Scrapbook Layout with Springtime Wishes Thincut Dies

**This post contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links.


Working on layouts right now using up retired CTMH cardstock from 2015.

This layout uses the Blossom paper pack from last year's Seasonal Expressions 2 Idea Book and I got my inspiration from the cover of the 2016 Seasonal Expressions 1 Idea Book.   I love the new Thin Cuts metal dies that CTMH introduced in this Idea Book back in January.  




I also used a pattern from the Regatta Workshops Your Way Guide.  The Workshops Your Way program was also introduced in the SE1 Idea Book - the layouts for these workshop kits are available to download for free right off my CTMH website.   Each guide is only available until that Idea Book retires so make sure you download the current layouts and then check back in September for the Holiday WYW layouts - each guide features card and scrapbooking layouts.  




My son, the clown...




Springtime Wishes Flower on Blossom patterned cardstock with Lagoon and Pear die cut accents.  Embellished with Coral Reef Sequins and Bitty Sparkles.





Large cluster of Springtime Wishes Flowers using the cover of the SE1 as inspiration.   Embellished with Bitty Sparkles.  I cut the title and date pieces with my Cricut and sponged the edges of the Sunset and Glacier Cardstock with the coordinating inks.  

 I used a Ranger Clear Embossing Pen in my Cricut Explore to write the words out, then heat embossed with Ranger Super Fine While Embossing Powder.

CTMH Paper Bird Hostess Set with Blossom Paper Pack

Here's another card using the scraps from my CTMH Blossom WOTG Cardmaking Kit - That's 18 cards I've made now and I still have some scraps left.  I should be able to get a few more out of it.


My card design is from CTMH Make It From Your Heart Volume 2 - Pattern 20

I used the Butterfly and "so nice of you" stamps from the CTMH Paper Bird Hostess Stamp set from the Seasonal Expressions 2 catalogue.  This exclusive hostess stamp set is available for $5 this month only to all customers who place an order of $25 or more of My Acrylix stamps (or you can get the Stamp of the Month for FREE).

I stamped the Butterfly in CTMH Smoothie Exclusive Ink and popped it up with foam tape.

I used my CTMH Edge Distresser along the sides of the piece of Lagoon cardstock.  Close To My Hearts White Core cardstock is perfect for distressing or inking.

The floral background and striped piece are both leftover from the Blossom WOTG. I used my CTMH Corner Rounder to round out the two opposite corners of the floral piece.

The card front is Glacier cardstock with a layer of Kraft cardstock over that.   I stamped my sentiment on a scrap of Kraft cardstock and trimmed the ends.  I cut a very thin strip of foam tape and popped it up from the Lagoon piece.

I embellished the card with CTMH Coral Reef Sequins and CTMH Black Sparkle Flourish.
