Here is a look at this month's BEAUTIFUL, EXCLUSIVE stamp set, that you can get for ONLY $5....with EVERY $50 CTMH purchase in January 2021. (or VIP's get it for FREE)

I was SO EXCITED to see this stamp set for January! Thank you cards are the kind of cards I create and hand out the most. I was THRILLED to have a BRAND NEW set of "thanks" words, in many different styles, to craft with!

Here is a look at the card I created for today's hop...

I wanted to use as MANY stamp images as possible on my card. To do that, I decided to create my own background for part of the card.

I also began a new technique series on my "Krista's Crafty Papercrafting Group" on Facebook, and we are learning ALL about Distress Oxide inks! I knew I wanted to use these inks in my card creation.

To create the tri-color background I...

...blended the 3 Distress Oxide inks above for the background, with the AMAZING Blending Tool.
...then spritzed the dried background with water --letting it dry. I LOVE how water reacts with the Distress Oxide inks!
...used Toffee Ink to stamp the many different thanks wordings.
The Final touch (see next photo) I splattered the background with our Gold Shimmer Brush.

I wish my photo would capture the beauty of this card! It was a rainy day here in PA, and not a good day for taking photos. The colors didn't show up as vibrant as they are in person. 😉

Our Stitched Thin Cuts (metal dies) are the BEST!

I used two of our Thin Cuts!! The Stitched Brackets Thin cuts as well as our Fancy Borders Thin Cuts for the heart border.

I knew I needed a "pop" of color on this card....and I thought of the NEW Sunbeam Holographic paper!

I paired that with the Heart Border cut from our Gorgeous Black Ore Paper.

For the bottom part of the card, I used our lovely NEW Mix-In Paper pack (X9023) from the BRAND NEW Jan/Feb Mini Idea Book!

I finished off the card with our lovely Gold Embellishing Thread
