December SOTM - Candlelight Garden

Welcome to our MONTHLY

Stamp of the Month (SOTM) Blog Hop!!

This blog hop is a great big circle, so you can start here & work your way around to the many consultants on this "hop"!

This month we have over 33 Close To My Heart Consultants that will be sharing items they have created using this month’s stamp set! So, sit back & enjoy your tour as you click on the link at the end of the post to see what EACH consultant has created!!

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

Take a peek at this FUN, exclusive Stamp set only available in December!!!J

This stamp set has been one of my customers FAVORITE's ever since they saw the release of this Holiday Expression mini-book.  So we are ALL excited it is NOW available to purchase!! J 

I didn't have as much time as I wanted to play with this stamp set, so I created this simple card for my team meeting the other week.  

While I am ENJOYING learning to watercolor with my NEW watercolor paints from CTMH, I decided to pull out my "oldie but goodie" watercolor PENCILS & the Blending pen to complete this card! J 

I only used 3 colors (shown above)....but our entire set of Watercolor pencils comes in 2 different boxes - 12 in each box to create a set of 24!! 

Look at all those FABULOUS colors!!

I am AMAZED each time I use this blending pen & how SMOOTH the blending pen makes my coloring!  

Here's a close-up of my coloring....

 By using the blending pen, it not only smooths out my pencil lines, but allows me to do some shadowing as well!!  I love this option!! 

For the banner, I did choose to use our Watercolor Paints.  I stamped the "Thank You" with my Black Memento ink pad onto watercolor paper.  Then traced the banner with my black journaling pen.   J 

I also had to add in our NEW lavender enamel hearts. When you purchase this pack you will receive Plain enamel & GLITTER enamel hearts too!!  

I backed the stamped jar paper with a sheet of our Purple glitter paper. EACH of CTMH's 12 x 12 glitter packs, come with THREE different shades of that color.  That means I had 3 different shades of purple glitter paper to choose from for my mat!! 

I hope you are enjoying this blog hop & getting LOTS of ideas for when you have your OWN December Stamp of the Month (SOTM) stamp set in hand!  
Happy Crafting to EACH of you! J 

Now  its time to head over to Sarah Stone's Blog to see  what she has created using this stamp set!  J

My Acrylix Stamps–Did you know??

I thought this would be a GREAT opportunity to share with you WHY Close To My Heart’s acrylix stamp sets are the BEST! J 


With STAMPAGANZA in full swing…I’d love to share with you about WHY it will benefit YOU to use Close To My Heart’s clear acrylix stamp sets!!! 


All artwork shown below was created by our WONDERFUL team of CTMH art designers at CTMH.

Did you know?

• My Acrylix stamps are ready to use right out of the package—no cutting out, mounting, or applying stickers required. Just place the stamp on your block, apply ink, and you’re set!
• My Acrylix stamps and blocks are clear, making it easy to stamp in exactly the right spot.
  
• My Acrylix stamps can be used to create a variety of popular looks, including:
  • base and shade stamping
    
    
    
    
    
  • creating your own patterned paper
    
    
    
    
  • sponging on multiple inks for single-impression, multi-color images
• Many My Acrylix stamps coordinate with Cricut^® Art Philosophy cartridge shapes, giving you lots of creative possibilities!!!

Cut the shape on your Cricut^® machine, stamp the image on the shape, and attach to your project! In the Idea Book, the images outlined in red coordinate with Cricut^® shapes.

• My Acrylix stamps are super easy to maintain, store, and transport.

I’m sure you can see the benefits to using Close To My Heart’s AMAZING clear stamps!!! 


As you join us in this Stampaganza Celebration, a reminder for you, you can purchase stamps from the current Idea Book and the one preceding.  This gives you even MORE selection to choose from!
