~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is this months EXCLUSIVE stamp set, that you can get for ONLY $5 with your $50 CTMH purchase in March 2018.
I chose to use a NEW card design pattern, from our Make It From Your Heart, vol 4 How-To-Book. I used pattern #3. If you enjoy creating cards - you'll want to make SURE to check out this wonderful NEW sketch book!! CLICK HERE to check it out :)
I also chose to use the beautiful new paper - "Make Waves". This paper pack is so pretty & I'm finding myself using it quite often! I don't have use for the "mermaids" in this kit....but because our papers are SO VERSATILE, I know I'll be able to use these beautifully designed papers for so many other projects!!
Another NEW product I used on this card...who has been wondering WHERE I found that scroll, border stamp? :)
Did you know there is a collection of stamp sets that are ONLY available online?
YES...these are our "International" stamp sets - and you can view them by clicking HERE!!
This is one of my favorite stamps sets, called "Island Patterns". You may want to make sure to add it to your cart during your next CTMH purchase! I adore the variety of borders in this stamp set! :)
A few FUN tips when I created this card....
The RIBBON...take a peek!!
This ribbon is our Cream Ribbon, that was released in January this year. Yes - just plain cream ribbon....so I decided to stamp some stripes on it, to create a STRIPED RIBBON! :)
The stamp set I used to do this is an EXCLUSIVE stamp set, only available for our Close To My Heart hostesses!!
You'll want to MAKE SURE to chat with your CTMH Consultant so you can get this beautiful stamp set when you host an in home, catalog or facebook party of your own! :) (hurry- these stamps are only available until April 30, 2018!)
I ADORE the NEW Bashful Shimmer Brush and you can hopefully see the "shimmer of pink"behind the "hooray for you" wording inside the circle! It's always so fun to add just a touch of sparkle & shine.
The circle mat (under the sentiment) was cut from the Bashful Glitter paper. Have you tried cutting our glitter paper using your Cricut machine or Die-Cut machine? If not, I encourage you to give it a try!! This paper doesn't "shed" glitter & it cuts like butter! :)
One more FUN technique I did on this card....the watercolor paint splatter effect. :)
I didn't like my light colored background - it needed a little more....so out came my watercolor brush, my watercolor paints, and my piece of Bashful CS....and we got to splattering! :)
.
To finish off the card, I drew traced outside of circle with black journaling pan & used the Make Waves glitter gems embellishments.
