I have been in a crafty mood! I wanted to share a post of the display tray I made. I love the way it turned out! I kept it fairly simple to show that you don't have to go super elaborate.
You could create your own display tray using any paper collection. It took me about 20 mins start to finish. I really had no idea what I was going to put in it, but if you plan it out then it will take less time to put it together.
We also have have a 5" x 7" Hinged Display Tray if you don't want something that's 12" x 12" or hanging on the wall.
Hope you enjoyed this post and thanks for stopping by :)

I absolutely love Halloween! I love the colors, the weather, pumpkin picking and of course, last but NOT least, ALL of the papers in our Nevermore collection!
Nevermore is the perfect paper to create Halloween gifts and layouts. One of the best things about these papers is there versatility! You can use these papers to create gifts, cards and layouts that are NOT Halloween themed specific!
A couple of months ago our team did a layout swap to prepare for the release of our new Annual Inspirations and Holiday Expressions. I choose to do Nevermore (can you guess why?)! It would have been easy to create some Halloween themed layouts BUT where's the challenge in that! Besides some of my teammates wouldn't have a use for Halloween themed layouts!

September was a huge month! Not only did we release our new Annual Inspirations AND Holiday Expressions catalogs but it was also National Stamping Month! Close To My Heart offered 3 different C-size stamp sets. Each stamp set was designed to fit with a specific type of paper-crafting,
whether that’s scrapbooking, cardmaking, or pocket scrapbooking. All the stamp sets coordinate with each other and can be used
together to create dynamic artwork. These stamp sets also coordinate
with shapes from the new Cricut® Artistry collection! I choose to use all 3 stamp sets in my layout! Can you tell me how many stamps I used from the 3 sets?
I created a "matching" second layout, cause hey why not right! I made my layouts Birthday Themed but some what generic (and left off any titles) so that they could be used for any age Birthday or even Halloween if the recipient really wanted to (that's why I stuck with the Nevermore color palette). I wanted to give the recipient a chance to add their own personal touches as well.
I attended a Reveal Retreat for CTMH Consultants in July. One of the projects we made was a Birthday Cake flip flap layout. I used this layout with some modifications for my Birthday Flip Flap layout.
Flip flaps are closed in the above picture. The 'cake stand' is a cut from the New Artistry Cricut Collection.
Here you can see they are all 'open' showing the rest of the layout. I wasn't sure if I wanted a title on the steampunk paper or a picture so I left the embellishments off the page.
I kept this page pretty simple as well. I used some Green Shimmer Trim {Z3087}, Silver Foil Tape {Z3130} and Whisper Thick Twine {Z3095}. The balloons are a cricut cut from the Artiste Collection. Once I decide what pictures I want to use I can then further embellish the layout.
Here is a video from Close To My Heart. You can see all the artwork created that is Halloween themed as well as all the wonderful cards and layouts that are NOT Halloween themed!
Fall is here! I love fall, the colors, the smells ... and what better way to kick off Fall then with these great promotions!!! (Even though I am a little late posting!)

I was wasting time on Pinterest the other day when I came across a cute Father's Day card that Laurie Varner had created. She used one of my favorite stamp sets, C1571 You're the Best (retired).
Here is my take on Laurie's card. I used CTMH Artiste Cricut Cartridge to cut the shirt, tie, pocket and banner. I cut the shirt in half to get two pieces for two cards. I did use retired paper, Timberline, but our NEW Jackson paper would look just as good if not better! I stamped the first tool (the hand drill) with Desert Sand ink. The second tool (a hand saw) with Chocolate ink.I kept the card rather simple compared to Laurie's. She had more embellishments and another Cricut Cut. Her card was very lovely but I was going for a "less is more" kind of card.
I used CTMH Thin 3-D Foam Tape(Z2060) to pop up the collar, tie and pocket.
I used the same foam tape to pop up the banner, but this time I used two pieces stacked on each other on the ends. This raised the ends of the banner making it look more wavy.
I used this same shirt cut out to make more cards (in the shape of a shirt!) Will post more about that another day with pictures. I used the Jackson paper {X7195B} for those cards!
