CTMH Team Blog Hop - Autumn Beauty

The Pineapple Paper Artists are showing off all the beautiful new paper packs, stamp sets, and embellishments of Annual Inspirations with a great new blog hop.  Whether you are just beginning your journey or you came here from Scrappy Sandra's Custom Creations, I hope you will continue on until you are inspired by everyone's autumn-themed artwork.

The new Artfully Sent Cricut Collection (Z3017) is full of beautiful card creations. But I like to shake things up a bit, so I spend a lot of time searching through all the different elements available to see how I can use them in different ways to create unique projects.

• I started with a Barn Red (X5637) card.  I used my Scallop Border Punch (Z1851) down the right side of both layers of the card.
• I shrunk the Artfully Sent interior pop-up card to fit as a panel on the front of a card.  I cut it out of Goldrush (1243) cardstock, layered it on a piece of Colonial White (1388) cardstock, and attached it to the card with 3D Foam Tape (Z1151).  
• I stamped "Amazing" from the Love This (B1432) stamp set in Barn Red (Z2104) ink on a piece of Colonial White (1388) cardstock, cut it into a banner shape, and attached it to the card.
• I added a banner-cut strip of Bronze Shimmer Trim (Z1849) below the other banner.
• I cut out one of the Artfully Sent pocket cards from Honey (X5668) cardstock, layered it on a piece of Colonial White (1388) cardstock, and attached it to the inside of the card.
• I cut the same pocket card from Barn Red (X5637) cardstock and put it aside for another project.  I took all the Honey and Barn Red flower cut-outs to decorate the the front of the card.
• On the Goldrush (from the front panel) and Honey flowers, I stamped the swirly vine image from the Love This (B1432) stamp set with Barn Red (Z2104) ink.  I created layered flowers on the card with 3D Foam Tape (Z1151)

I hope you enjoy this Amazing Autumn!  Next, hop on over to Amy, the Pineapple Paper Artist, to see another beautiful project!
