Second page to the "Cute" layout

As promised here is the right page to the previous post titled "Cute"
It uses the same Cherry-O Workshop Kit. I just love working with these papers. Especially for Summer pictures. Enjoy page two.

This page has a couple of fun techniques. The buttons have been threaded with  the Tulip ribbon from the Tulip Mini Medley. It is a fun way to add buttons and in this case to make them look even more like cherries. Also the title "so sweet" was made using a product called Irresistibles Lot's of Dots. It is a cardstock adhesive backed alphabet printed with a polka dot resist image. You can ink them with any color to fit your project and the dots appear after inking. They add a lot to your project and are easy to make them. There are also a little bling with the Bitty Sparkles. I hope you enjoy this layout.

"Head over Heels" Layout

Here is another Cherry-O layout called "head over Heels". It is loaded with technique and some fun products. It uses all CTMH products which I will list at the end.

I will talk about this layouts in sections. We start with a Colonial White Card stock base and dry emboss a line 1/4" in on all 4 sides. The cherry grid paper has stitching all around the page following the line one square in using 3 strands of embroidery floss from CTMH. Next the decorative strip across the page was made. Can you guess what stamp was used to make this strip? I'll give you a hint. It comes form the "You're Sweet" stamp set. Look closely can you see it now? It is the pear stamp!!! You use just the bottom portion of the pear and stamp so that you are touching the side from the stamp before all the way across a 1 x 12 strip. Then just cut around the bottom and ink the edge after cutting.

In this section there are two fun products shown. The flowers are called Irresistibles Pizzazz Dimensional Elements. This product is so cool!! Irresistibles have a resist pattern that when covered with ink, chalk, markers or watercolors show through. The scallop circle stamp under the flower is from the Tasty Treats stamp set. Then the Title "Smile" was made from Dimensional Elements Monograms inked with Tulip ink.

In this section there is a combination of some more stitching, Irresistibles Pizzazz flowers, The Tasty Treats stamp set along with the Cocktail alphabet and Tiny Typewriter alphabet and Love Letters Rub Ons. It is a fun layout to make.

Cherry-O Cards

Here I have 3 cards made with the Cherry-O Workshop Kit. The colors used are Tulip, Sweet Leaf, and Chocolate. They are all 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 cards.

Cherry-O

One of the paper packs in the current Idea Book is called Cherry-O. It is a fun summer paper that can be used in a number of ways. I have a double page layout for you here and have other examples I will be adding in the days to come. I hope you enjoy.
I used Chocolate, Tulip and Sweet Leaf inks. The title was made with the Field Trip e-size alphabet. The Tulip Mini Medley and Colonial White Designer Brads added the embellishments and the technique of second generation in some of the stamping.

There area couple of quick but effective techniques to add to a page. Notice the photo clip on the first page. That has the word "sweet" cut out from the stamped piece and added to the photo clip. Another different but easy technique to jazz up a page a little is on the second page. The 3 stamped cherry sections across the top of the page. By using the corner rounder on opposite sides top and bottom gives a different but interesting shape. Also the corner rounder was used to make the scalloped trim. You take the wings off and punch along a strip side by side leaving you a scalloped trim.
