i {heart} papers and Zva Creative Joint Blog Hop

  

Hello everyone!

Thanks so much for joining me today as I’m teaming up with some of my fellow design team members from Zva Creative and designers from i {heart} papers to share a new project using Zva’s beautiful crystals and fall patterned paper that is available at i {heart} papers.

We are celebrating a week-long event that is happening over at Paper Craft Planet. The Planet’s design team, the Super Novas, are hosting special fall challenges all week that feature both Zva Creative and paper from i {heart} papers. Be sure to stop by, see their lovely creations and be inspired to join in on the fun!

To join the hop at the beginning, please visit Zva Creative’s blog! You will also find a complete list of all the participating blogs there (in case there is a glitch along the way). 

All projects featured today were made using Carta Bella's All Hallow's Eve 6x6 Paper Pad.

Halloween Layout

My first project is a 12 x 12 layout using 6 x 6 papers from Carta Bella's All Hallow's Eve collection.  Using the patterned paper, I created three circles which I matted on orange cardstock.  I trimmed each circle using Fiskars scallop edge scissors.  I added pearls using my Viva Decor Pearl Pen in Black.

I used a fun halloween sticker from Anna Griffin to add a bit of whimsy to my layout.  I then die cut a pumpkin using Quickutz Pumpkin die.   

I used pretty Zva crystals (CRB-05CA-114 and CR-04CB-112) to add sparkle to my page. 

 

I love using Martha Stewart Crafts punches and the Iron Gate design is perfect for my halloween theme.

 

 

Halloween Cards

 

Again, I used Carta Bella's All Hallow's Eve 6x6 paper pad to create my halloween cards.  The first card features a design cut using Spellbinder's Labels 20 die.  I cut a border using my Martha Stewart Crafts Iron Gate punch.  I used Zva pearls (CRB-04CB-117) throughout my design.

For this card, I used a border and skeleton  with flourish from the patterned paper.  I then added a taupe rose and two small white roses accented with Zva Creative pearl flourishes.(CRW-05CB-143) 

The sentiment was also cut from patterned paper.
