<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Math and measuring aren’t my
strong point … this card took some time to figure out, but I am very pleased
with the result. To figure out the key sizing, I started by measuring
the saw and hammer stamps. I had to add
some more length to the rectangle for the hammer to balance the design.</span></div>

They give you three two-page layouts that are beautiful and easy to assemble, as well as a bunch of card options. Or as the title implies, you can use the papers, complements and accessories from the kit to make things your own way.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once finished with a kit, hold on to the layout instructions for future use. You can change up the papers and accessories for brand new looks using the same layouts.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am currently working on a travel scrapbook using the Dreamin' Big papers. I am using existing layout designs (from other WYW kits and CTMH books) so that I can create lots of pages quickly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are two layouts I created using other WYW kits for inspiration:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Layout #1</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For this one, I used the Sugar Rush Workshop Your Way layout #1 design with Dreamin' Big papers. complements, sequins and coordinating cardstocks.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Dreamin' Big is a beautiful new paper collection from Close to my Heart. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Glacier, Poppy, Sorbet and Goldrush colours remind me of water, sun and sand. The corresponding Complements use words like explore, happy place and adventure which screams travel to me. This combination inspired me to make an album documenting a Caribbean trip. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My first attempt at the green and white colour challenge # 187 from <a href="http://colormyheartcolordare.blogspot.ca/">Color My Heart Dare</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was great timing because I have a friend who loves green and her birthday was fast approaching.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Alas, I messed up the stamping of the sentiment and had to re-stamp on the sentiment on separate cardstock, cut it out and place it over the mistake. As you can see in this image, the edges of this piece were quite visible, so I covered it over with more flowers and another strip of shimmer tape. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of the final card. (I liked this simple design best though!)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I had a blast making this style of card. There are so many extra surfaces to decorate that it allows a person to use most of the image and sentiment stamps from one stamp set. It stands up all on its own to allow the receiver to proudly display the handmade card you have so lovingly crafted for them. Best of all, it folds down to fit inside a standard envelope.</span><br />

successively 1” smaller than the previous circle.) </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Recommended sizes: Rear: 5”, Middle:
4” and Top: 3”.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

</span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
1. Press stamp into the
embossing ink. The ink is clear so make
sure the stamp gets covered completely with ink.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
2. Stamp the image on a piece of
cardstock.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
3. Pour embossing powder over
the stamped image. Gently shake the
cardstock to make sure that the powder covers the entire image. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
4. Shake the excess powder off
into the powder tray (or onto a scrap piece of paper). Tap the back of your stamped cardstock to get
the extra bits of powder off the cardstock.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
5. Using the powder tray or
scrap paper, pour the remaining powder back into the container.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
6. Heat the powdered image using
your crafter heater. Don’t hold the
heater too close to the paper. I suggest a distance of about 1”. (Some people recommend holding the heat to
the back side of the paper to avoid burning the image.)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
7. Heat the powder until it
melts. When fully melted, the powder
will look shiny. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
*This is the trickiest part of the process. If you don’t heat the
powder enough, it won’t set and will brush or shake off of the image. If you heat it too long, you can burn it.*</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
8. Let image cool.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

1. Complete steps 1 – 8 of the heat embossing
technique. Use clear embossing powder to
allow the white (or light <span style="text-indent: -36pt;">paper
colour) to show through.</span></div>

brayer).</span><span style="text-indent: -36pt;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -36pt;">For solid ink coverage use a

3.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The "complex" cascade card really isn't as complex as it seems. The key is precision when cutting and measuring. If this is done properly, the two halves of the card base slide together easily.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To make my cards, I followed the instructions and detailed diagrams found at:</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This cascade card is to celebrate the 50th wedding anniversary of my parents. I used a white and gold colour scheme to commemorate this golden anniversary. The cardstock is CTMH White Daisy. (All of the gold cardstock is non-CTMH). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The images on the card are a combination of diecuts using CTMH Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge and heat embossing using the gold embossing powder (Z2066) and the January 2016 Stamp of the Month: Beloved Bouquet (S1601).</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. Cut one piece of cardstock/patterned paper into two pieces measuring 5 ½” x 8 ½”. These will be
used for the accordion/folded part of the card.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. Cut one piece of cardstock/paper 5 ½” x 4 ¼” for
the back of the card.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. Score the two pieces of 5 ½” x 8 ½”
cardstock/paper at the following intervals: 2 1/8”, 4 1/4 ” and 6 3/8”. (Three
even pieces divided every 2 1/8”.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4. Place the top edge of the 2
1/8” score line at the edge of the cutting channel of your paper trimmer. Hold that end of the paper there while
angling the remaining paper 2” past the cutting channel. Cut the paper at that angle. Repeat for the other piece. (If you want a less severe angle, position
the paper 1” beyond the cutting channel.
This will give you a look like the card in the images below.)<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5. Fold the two pieces of cardstock on the
scored lines. Start with a valley fold,
followed by a mountain fold, followed by another valley fold. The paper should
look like a zigzag. Do the same for the other piece. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am working on a scrapbook about my European vacation this past summer. I have combined the CTMH <b><i>Wanderful </i></b>and <b><i>Laughing Lola</i></b> paper collections to get more variety in the book. The number of overlapping colours between the two collections is fantastic! Flaxen matches the Laughing Lola gold and Thistle is a close match to the Laughing Lola purple.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Inspiration is essential in any art form from painting to papercrafting
and it is a fundamental quality of Close to my Heart products from the exciting
papers to the beautiful ink colours.
With each new Idea Book, we are introduced to new sources of
creativity. I don’t know about you, but
I feel like it’s Christmas and I’m sneaking a peak at my presents when I get to
page through a new catalogue. I make my
wish list and can’t wait to buy all my new favourites. </span></div>

accessories and Workshop on the Go kit. (All of which are currently available
for purchase and will remain so until the end of August 2016.)</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Figuring out what to make this month was quite easy. I started with the <i><b>Zoe </b></i>paper and accessories,
along with my chosen photos. In need of inspiration and speed, I turned to the How-To
Foundation line of books. With seven
photos (six horizontal and one vertical), I turned to the “Easy Inspiration”
layout in the <b><i>Cherish</i></b> book (found on pages 106-107). It was a perfect fit for my photograph
requirements, plus a great chance to use multiple papers and patterns from the
new Zoe papers. </span><br />
