CHF Release Blog Hop

Hello!

Welcome to Cornish Heritage Farms blog hop! Come join us as the Cornish Heritage Farms Design Team take you on a journey discovering all sorts of CHF goodness! If you didn’t start at the beginning of this hop, you might want to head on over to the Cornish Heritage Farms Blog so that you don’t miss out on anything.

This month we have 17 backgrounders, 3 ATC Sets, 2 individual Rummage Bin Stamps and 3 Rummage Bin Stamp sets being released.

"First 24 Special" - receive 15% off all orders that are placed within the first 24 hours of the release.
Be sure to leave a comment on everyone’s blog as you travel from blog to blog for your change to win some Cornish Heritage Farms blog candy. Three of our CHF Design Team members will be given away blog candy, but who they are is a secret! They will be giving away one new CHF stamp to a random person who leaves a comment on their blog!

So with all the business out of the way, are you ready for my projects?  Today, I opted to create two projects for our hop, highlighting the amazing and versatile Backgrounder!


Text Me

Seriously... how simple is that?  I love patterned paper.  Love might not be a strong enough emotion... addiction perhaps?  So, using a backgrounder is a perfect way to achieve a patterned paper effect.  You can stamp backgrounders in any color to coordinate with your project.  Pair with patterned paper or use alone.

Personally, I thought it was slightly ironic that I made a card that says "text me".  I wonder if my teenager even knows how to mail a card!  Hah!

This is my FAVORITE of all my release projects, even though it's super simple.  And here's why... I've been hoarding the wood grain paper in my Splendid (by Authentique) paper pad.  It's so unique, with its golden hue and highlights of teal blue and pink.  It's just perfect.  So, when I was pulling all my supplies together for my release projects and realized I could make a piece of my own golden wood grain paper... instant happiness!!!!  Here's a side-by-side comparison for you:

The paper on the left is the original paper from Authentique.  The paper on the right is my version.  And while I'm confessing things to you, I honestly love my version more!  I stamped the Wood Grain backgrounder with Scattered Straw (a golden yellow) on Antique Gold Parchment paper.  Then, I added highlights of pink, yellow and blue to my paper.  I just LOVE it!

So... now that I have you all hyper about your own custom patterned paper (I know!!  I'm still bouncing!!), I'd like to send you on your way to the next stop in your hop:
