Pieces and Patterns - The Crafty Carrot Co. Blog Hop

Pieces and Patterns - love at first sight! Those little animals and generic phrases are perfect for everyday cards with a young, fresh vibe. SO it goes without saying, I'm thrilled the gals all agreed on making it our Crafty Carrot Co. product focus for JULY.

I often say your skills and what you learn through our Crafty Carrot Co. tutorials are totally transferable between cards, traditional layouts and even pocket memory keeping. Keep scrolling to see how I've applied pretty much the same detailing to all three forms. Easy concept right? You can totally nail it too!

Note - our Crafty Carrot shopping list does not include the Pick A Pattern Designer Series Paper. More details on that below but it's an optional extra k?

Supplies Used:
Stamps: Pieces and Patterns, (plus Number of Years on 12x12 Layout)
Inks: Basic Black Archival, Powder Pink, Crushed Curry, Pool Party, Night of Navy
Papers: Pool Party, Whisper White, Powder Pink, Crushed Curry, Shimmery White, Gold Foil Paper
Accessories/Tools: Aqua Painter, Rhinestone Basic Jewels, Layering Circles Dies, 1" Circle Punch, Gold Metallic Thread, Very Vanilla Solid Baker's Twine
