This month we have approximately 40 Close To My Heart Consultants sharing their creations using the new products from the CTMH Seasonal Expression 2 Idea Book on their blogs. This is simple to do - just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move to the next one! Here we go!

One of the new paper packs in the Seasonal Expressions 2 Idea Book is Blossom.

 I love, love, love this versatile paper pack 

and have already seen some amazing art created with this paper pack. 

Come back soon to my blog, I'm about to create many more projects with this paper.

Here's a small sample using the paper to create a basic card.

BLOSSOM

Blossom Paper Packet - X7196B

Cricut Cartridge Atists Z1790

Z2641Glacier Ink 

Z3041 Ocean side 

 Z3042Coral Reef sequins

Z1752 Sparkles Clear 

Shin Han marker (Z2465) to color the sparkles blue.

JACKSON PAPER PACK

I've always enjoyed the gate fold card and saw one made using tabs on each side of the gates. I also love the new "Jackson" paper found in our new Seasonal Expressions 2 Idea Book, so combining the gate fold card with this paper pack, I think I have a perfect combination.

To create this card, I started with a traditional gate fold and then added chevron tabs on the top and bottom, adhered to the right "gate" and a rectangle tab on the left "gate".   This card could easily be a Fathers's Day card or masculine birthday card.
