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

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

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

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!! 



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. 

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! 💓


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!💗

I hope you had as much fun as I did -- learning about all the GORGEOUS new CTMH products, as I had created it! Make sure to check in with your CTMH Consultant, as she can get your BOTH of these Brand New Idea Books for you! 💗💗

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

It's hot, sticky & SUMMERTIME & that means it's the PERFECT time to use our newest collection at Close To My Heart ---- Please help me welcome "Summer Vibes"!

If you have followed me in the past, you know how much I ADORE our Close To My Heart Workshop kits-- both cardmaking & scrapbooking! 

TODAY---I'm sharing an additional layout ---my "Krista's Crafty" fourth layout 😉 - I created with the "extras" of the G1207 Summer Vibes Scrapbooking Kit ... let's take a look. 😊


When creating these Workshop kits for my monthly classes, we add the Mix-In paper pack, that goes along with that current season (in this case it was X9017) and any extra sheets of cardstock for more bases. This kit -- we added 2 Black Cardstock for bases. 


Take a look at the BEAUTIFUL papers, that are included in the Summer Vibes Paper Collection. 

You can always choose to purchase this paper & coordinating 12x12 sticker sheet by itself --- or in addition to the Summer Vibes Scrapbooking workshop kit -- it's a  BEAUTY of a collection for sure! 💗



With each of the Workshop kits ---Close To My Heart teaches us a technique or we learn about a product we carry.  For this workshop---we pulled in the Cool Mint Stickles & used them in a variety of ways!! 

Stickles make the PERFECT center for flowers....

...or use STICKLES to accent the die-cut pieces, included in the Scrapbooking Workshop kit!  Look at those adorable flip - flops and how using the Stickles adds a fun touch to them!! 

It's AMAZING what a little "sparkle & shine" will do for your creations! 




The yellow hearts in this photo -- are part of the Summer Vibes Acrylic Shapes!  What FUN!! 

Did you know??? These acrylic shapes are made, right in our CTMH facility in Utah??  I love that we make a bunch of our own items!! 💗💗

Here is a look at the original 3 sets of layouts that you can create from this Summer Vibes Workshop kit.  
There are EXCLUSIVE papers & EXCLUSIVE die-cut images ---ONLY found in this workshop kit....fun, fun, FUN!! 🌴🌴



Check out the contents that are included with this LOVELY Scrapbooking kit! I love the VALUE you get with this kit too! 😊 

Talk to your consultant about getting this kit OR if you don't have a consultant, feel free to check out all of our current kits at this link here ...

Joyful Stars Blog Hop - Blue Skies balloon 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!!

If you have arrived from my friend Marie's blog you are right on track.

A new Idea book arrived at Close To My Heart on May 1st, so there are a LOT of new things to share! 

Here is the card I created for you today...



May is "National Scrapbooking Month"...and we LOVE to celebrate this occasion with an exclusive collection! 

This year, CTMH, has released the Blue Skies collection.  
Included in this collection are: 
12 sheet paper pack
12x12 sticker sheet
12 sheet UV coated cardstock
2 different stamp sets
Cut Above Scrapbooking kit
Pinwheel Thin Cuts 

AND if that wasn't enough ;) 
...you can choose to get many of these items listed above, in a DISCOUNTED BUNDLE!!! 

Make sure to check in with your consultant for ALL the details!

Let's take a closer look at the DETAILS of this card...



I decided to paper piece the hot air balloon with our BEAUTIFUL UV Coated Cardstock.  The pink flags were colored with our Tri-Blend alcohol markers. 

Take a look at the "Beautiful Day" stamp set and notice the images I used for this card. 


Now---take a look at the clouds. :) Do you see how my clouds look different than the stamp image?


TIP TO SHARE---try turning over your stamp & inking up the backside of the stamp!

I was EXCITED with the results when I inked the back side of my cloud stamp. Instead of the outline of the cloud being stamped, it gave me a soft, puffy cloud!  I used 2nd generation lagoon ink to get this look.

Now, let's take a close up look at the UV Coated cardstock.


Do you see how the cardstock as a clear embossed design already printed on the one side of it?? So NEAT!! I think this is my FAVORITE part of the "Blue Skies" collection!

I finished off my card, by using a sentiment from our May Stamp of the Month "Time to Celebrate".  As you can see, this stamp set is LOADED with fabulous words and sayings!

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope you enjoyed my card & were inspired to create some of your own. 




Happy Crafting & have a LOVELY evening!!!
