Joyful Stars blog Hop - 40th Birthday Card

Welcome to our monthly hop!

We're excited to share our creativity with you using PRODUCTS

from Close To My Heart!!

Come on in and see what BEAUTIFUL projects my crafty friends have creating using the AMAZING products from Close To My Heart!!

 This blog hop is easy to do…just click on the link at the end of the post to go to the next creation!!  If you get lost along the way, CLICK HERE to see the list of this month’s hoppers! 

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

If you have arrived from Joyce's blog you are right on track.

In case you HAVEN'T heard, you'll want to check with your Close To My Heart Consultant ...because the NEWEST release of our "B-I-G" Idea Book was released on August 1st!!  

It's BEAUTIFUL, & has loads of NEW PRODUCTS! :) :) If you click on the photo of the Idea Book, you can view the online version of this fabulous book! :) 


Today I created a card that uses soon-to-be-retired product as well as brand NEW goodies too! :)  

I had the honor of making my baby brother a 40th birthday card this week, and I was EXCITED to use this new stamp set called "Hunting for Words" .  What a GREAT outdoors/nature Stamp set!!!  LOVE this new set! :) 

Ok...now that we saw this beauty, let's take a peek at the card I created!  
  

A simple card, but perfect for my brother who is a big outdoors-man. :)   

I used our FABULOUS How-To-Book, Make It From Your Heart, vol 1, pattern #26 for my inspiration of this card design.  However, if you have this book, and take a look at the pattern, it will look a bit different than this card.  I used the patterns as my "starting point" & LOVE that by doing this, it SAVES me so much TIME!! :)

I chose NOT to color this "big guy" in....but instead I used our NEW stamp set - "Splash of Color" & added some background images with a NEW COLOR - Mink.    

I then used another NEW product....eekkkk...all these FUN, new goodies! :) 
We have MORE "Thin Cuts" (metal dies for those that aren't familiar with CTMH language ;) ) 

We have LOTS of new dies, but in this case I used our "Basic Banners - Thin Cuts".  
Then, I used the "Marker Alphabet" stamp set, and stamped the 40.  
The word "happy" came from the "Hunting for Words" stamp set - and I handwrote the "th" with my black journaling pen. :)    

What about the paper?  Which paper pack did I use for this card?  
Do you want to guess?? :) 

This is our "handsome" Jack paper collection!  AND...this is the item that is RETIRING soon!!  This paper collection will be retiring on August 31, 2017, so make sure you have enough of this to last a lifetime! :) 

  That's all for today....thanks for stopping by, and I hope you were inspired to go CREATE something on your own! :) 

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

Now it’s time to Hop on over to my friendBetty's  blog and see what beautiful, crafty item she has to share with us!

Happy Hopping and we’ll see you on the 9th next month, when the Joyful Stars team members will be sharing more artwork using Close To My Heart products!    

Blessings to you for BEAUTIFUL day!!!

August SOTM Blog Hop - School Year

Welcome to our monthly Stamp of the Month (SOTM) Blog Hop!!!

If you have come here from Ellen's Blog, you are on the right track!!

This month, we will be featuring the EXCLUSIVE August SOTM stamp set called "School Year".

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

Here is this months EXCLUSIVE stamp set, that you can get for ONLY $5 with your $50 CTMH purchase in August!!

What a perfect stamp set, as we will be beginning school shortly!!  

While this stamp set may lend itself to scrapbook pages, of course...I HAD to try and create a card! It was accomplished!!  

Take a look at the CARD I ended up creating with this "scrapbooking" stamp set! :) (I hope a lot of other friends chose to create cards too!) 

This fun, card came to "life" as I looked at our How-To-Books sketches.  This pattern began from pattern #24, Make It From Your Heart, volume 2....however, I didn't really end up looking like that pattern at all! LOL! :) 

I choose to use CTMH's Jack paper collection to create with this card.   
This entire collection will be retiring at the end of this month on August 31, 2017 on a While Supplies Last basis!

Here are the pictures of the Jack paper collection...what a "handsome" paper pack!
Click HERE to view the entire Jack collection!

Let's talk a few more details about this card....

I decided to white emboss the words, to make it look like chalk...so out came my Heat tool & I heat embossed those "first day of school" words, on top of the Juniper cardstock! :) 

I also wanted to use a few NEW products, that were just released today!!  

Can you find these new products???  

The set of scallops on the left side of the card, were cut using our NEW scallop Border THIN CUTS!! (yup, that's the name for our metal dies ;) ) 

I also pulled out my Cuttlebug machine, and used our NEW 5x7 Alphabet embossing folder!!  Wahoo!!

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

I hope you are enjoying this blog hop & are getting LOTS of ideas for when you create with your OWN Stamp of the month stamp set. Happy Crafting to each of you!
