Cricut Flower Market Blog Hop

Welcome to the Cricut Flower Market Blog Hop!

If you came from visiting Gina Brandstetter, then you are in the right place.  If you just happened upon my little corner of the blog world, simply start here and continue hopping until you return here -- our fun hop is one big loop for your viewing pleasure. 

CTMH released its 6th exclusive Cricut collection -- Flower Market -- in August, and it is FABULOUS!  The SOTM blog hop team has come together for this hop to provide you with endless inspiration for this great new cartridge.

Personally, I fell in love with Flower Market when I saw all the non-floral cuts on the cartridge.  I mean, with a name like Flower Market, great floral cuts are a given, but leave it to CTMH to add lots of non-floral cuts to make a well-rounded collection for papercrafters of all styles!

The inspiration for my project that I am sharing today came from a layout I recently saw online from one of my other favorite papercrafting companies -- after Close to My Heart, of course.  They shared a similar layout using one of their new lines, and I knew I wanted to scraplift it using Oh Deer!.  And the winter-themed cuts on the Flower Market "A" key created a perfect title and accents for the layout.

Supplies used:

*Flower Market Cricut collection
*Oh Deer! paper packet
*12" × 12" Cocoa Cardstock
*12" × 12" Ruby Cardstock
*Sea Glass glitter paper
*White glitter paper
*Scallop border punch (retired)
*Clear sparkles
*Bitty Sparkles
