~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Have you taken a look at the BEAUTIFUL, new Nov/Dec mini book?  It's filled with GORGEOUS, new products!

  

Today, I wanted to create with one of my FAVORITE paper packs in this book & it's one that I know I'll be purchasing multiple paper packs of!
This card I created below uses the SERENITY paper collection!! 

 Let's chat about this card design! 

I used TWO stamp sets with this card ---

1. Elegant Snowflakes

2. November Stamp of the Month - You Warm My Heart

The colors of Blue Belle & Sapphire have been my go-to lately...and I'm loving these tones together! 😊

I ADORE our stamp/thin Cut collection.....and this ELEGANT Snowflakes was one of the first ones from this NEW book, that I "needed" to add to my collection. 

You can choose to get it with OR without the Thin Cuts (metal dies).  It's totally up to you!  

I cut the snowflakes on my card using our Thin Cut from our Blue Belle Cardstock (this is our "color of the year"!) and then stamped with Blue Belle ink. 

Do you see the BORDER of snowflakes from this stamp set, tucked behind the Stitched Hexagon Shape? 

Another FAVORITE stamp set in this mini book is ONLY available during Nov 2020!! 

This stamp set is our Stamp of the Month for November, called "You Warm My Heart".  

Talk to you CTMH Consultant right away and learn how you can get this stamp set for the DISCOUNTED price of $5 OR for FREE!!

I ADORE the words that are included in the Elegant Snowflakes stamp set...and wanted to use "warm winter wishes".   To add this to my card front, I chose to use White Embossing powder and heat set these words in the top right corner. 

Take a look at the bottom of this card design --and the FUN products I used here!!

---> I used TWO new Glitter paper colors --- Sapphire & Blue Belle

It's AMAZING how thin strips of glitter paper add the perfect sparkle & shine!

---> I also used the "Spring Blossoms" 5x7 Embossing folder and impressed that design onto the dark side of Sapphire CS. 

I LOVE the detail this brings to this card!! 

Here is a look at the pretty parts of the Serenity Collection---you'll want to make SURE to ask your consultant about this BEAUTY!

For the final touch of this card, I added the shiny, iridescent loose sequins in Blue Belle color.

I also used Platinum Stickles for some sparkle & shine on the whipped cream.  When doing this -- make SURE to use Intense Black ink when stamping your image! (don't ask me how I know--LOL!!) 

Now it's time to "Hop" on over to Alyson's Blog to see her beautiful creation!

This stamp set is ADORABLE & perfect for the upcoming season!! I have a feeling this is going to a POPULAR one this month! 😍 Yay!! 

Check out my card for today! 

The NEW Nov/Dec 2020 Mini Idea book was just RELEASED today --so there are ALL sorts of new goodies to "play" with!! I chose to use the "Jingle Joy" paper suite...as these non-traditional Christmas colors were calling my name! 

Let's take a look at one of my FAVORITE new Thin Cut collections.  "Thin Cuts" are what we call our metal dies, here at Close To My Heart ---and they are AMAZING, and cut like butter on our cardstock, designer paper, AND our glitter paper too!! 

These Thin cuts are 6" long AND take notice of the single light bulb thin cut---you create bulbs in whatever color design you'd like!! 

I used the border thin cut that "matched" the coffee cup design!! How NEAT is that?!?

I used Evergreen Cardstock for the die cut, and then stuck a strip of Ballerina Glitter Paper behind it, to give it some sparkle & shine. 

I decided to also use our Z3687 Stitched Simple Bracket Thin Cut to stamp my words onto. Recently I've noticed a lot of CTMH's artwork, where they take a Stitched bracket, stamp their sentiment, and then cut off the rest of the bracket & I LOVE it! 

The SHINY look behind the sentiment is some of our HOLOGRAPHIC paper---I used the new Twinkle Toes color!! 

After stamping my flower image with Intense Black ink...I pulled out THREE Tri-Blend markers to color in the flower. 💓(Pale Pink Blend, Pale Pink Shades & Light Green Blend)

If you look closely, you'll see the "finishing touch" of a clear shimmer brush over top of the flower petals. 

The Silver Loose Sequins were the final touch...I ADORE those iridescent ones included in the silver set. 

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

I hope you are enjoying this blog hop & are getting a lot of creative inspiration for when you create with your OWN Stamp of the month stamp set.

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 September 2020. 

This stamp set IS a Scrapbooking stamp set,😉 and even though I really enjoy making cards, I thought I'd create a layout for this Blog hop. Well, things changed...as it just wasn't coming together! Then...I had an idea...what about using a couple of the stamps, and creating a card instead. Yay!! and you can see my final result below. 😍 

Today, September 1st, was the day we released TWO, NEW Idea Books here at CTMH!! So yes -- today has basically been "Christmas" to all of us in the CTMH world!🌎 

Let's check out ALL of the new products on this CARD I created!! 

1. Embossing Folders

As of today -- we have FOUR new embossing folders with gorgeous impressed designs!  This particular design is called "Floral Lace" Embossing folder and will be used often by me. 

2. NEW Color!

The color I embossed in is NEW too!!  Please help me welcome the BRAND NEW Color of the Year --- BLUE BELLE!

What a GORGEOUS color to have as our Color of the Year! 

3. Shaker Windows -- 2 NEW designs

I was THRILLED when I received the new catalog & saw that we now have STARS, HEARTS, SQUARES and RECTANGLES in our Shaker Window collection!!  I can't love this enough!

....and LOOK at the fun confetti these dies create!! 

One has solid hearts...and the other has frames & solid hearts! 💓

4.New Embellishments & beads!

What's a Shaker window...without some BEAUTIFUL embellishments?!

We now have a Blue Belle Loose Sequin pack, as well as a variety of colors of seed beads!

5. SIX, NEW colors of Glitter paper --- Blue Belle shown here

A little bit of sparkle & shine go a LONG way on a project!  I love how much more the touch of a tiny strip of glitter paper adds to this card. 

6. The FINAL New item I used on this card---Blue Belle ink!

You'll LOVE the 8 new colors we have released in this NEWEST catalog ---each of them are GORGEOUS and you'll want to check them out right away!💗
