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

The "These Are My People" special, includes SO many BEAUTIFUL items!

Make sure you check in with your CTMH consultant, to learn about all EIGHT of them! 
TODAY --- I'll be focusing on the "These Are My People" (TAMP) Workshop kit. Let's take a look...

I ADORE when CTMH has these monthly specials because it USUALLY means they have a workshop kit created for us!! 

The other PERK of the Workshop kits...is that if you purchase the ENTIRE kit...you get a DISCOUNTED price!! Woohoo!! Who doesn't love a good deal?!? 

This kit is a beauty, and you can see the projects in this kit (created by the CTMH art department)  in this photo here.

However, I extended this kit to go EVEN farther than what it was intended for!! Yay!! 
I added a few sheets of cardstock to create an additional 2 - 12x12 page (to coordinate with the single pages in the kit) ---PLUS--- the additional CARDS that I'll share with you today! 

Let's take a peek at these beautiful card designs. 

All 4 of these card patterns came from our Make It From Your Heart, vol 1 How-To Book.  If you have read any of my other posts, you probably already know -- that I USE these How-To books ---- ALL ----THE----TIME!!!   
I used Card Pattern #'s --- 21, 27, 28 and 29

I LOVE the time it saves me to use these sketch patterns!
I used my Tri-Blend Alcohol Markers for the coloring of the flowers. 

I also used a Shimmer Brush on top of some of the flowers, after I colored them with the alcohol markers. 

I hadn't stamped words on a background in a while...and so, I used my Ballerina ink to stamp words, while stamping the black stem of leaves on top of the words!! What a fun way to create a background! 

I ADORE our Cardstock at CTMH too!!
 (and there is a MAJOR SALE happening on our Cardstock this month!! ) 
Check out how BEAUTIFUL you can stamp a tone-on-tone background, using the same color INK as Cardstock color!  In this case, I used the Color Smoothie. 

Two of my FAVORITE parts about the "These Are My People" collection, are the...
1) Stamp set
2) Paper pack

The colors in this kit are SO BEAUTIFUL together!!

In creating these cards, I did add in a few extra stamps & embellishments :)
-Black & Soft Pink Shimmer Trim
- Black & White Dots
-D1919 With Heartfelt Sympathy stamp set
- C1835 Sentiments & Stitches stamp set

 So YES --- I DID create ALL of these cards above (PLUS 2 more 12x12 pages) out of the ONE workshop kit! :)  You will have extra papers to create these beautiful cards!!

You can purchase the TAMP paper pack on it's own...HOWEVER...the BEST deal is when you purchase the Workshop Bundle....and SAVE 20%!! Don't miss out on this FABULOUS deal. THESE ARE MY PEOPLE is only available until April 30, 2020 OR While supplies last! 

Make sure you check in with your CTMH Consultant for all the details!! 

I hope you enjoyed my card creations & that you were INSPIRED today!! :) 

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

Here we go!

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

So – let’s start off by taking a peek at this BEAUTIFUL Taste of Summerpaper collection!! 

If you like bright & happy – this paper pack is for you!!!

I always appreciate the SPECIALS that  

Close To My Heart  releases with a special event….and they really did a FABULOUS job this time!!!  J 

This paper packet is FULL of color, and while the fruit designs are adorable...I LOVE the back papers and the designs they have...GORGEOUS!!  

Close To My Heart ALSO created a coordinating STAMP SET for these Taste of Summer papers!!  

This stamp set is a D-size stamp set and can be purchased ONLY during May 2015 for $17.95.  Isn't this stamp set ADORABLE???

I decided to create two cards....both cards have the same design, but I used 2 different fruits for the cards....here they are.  

I pulled out my handy SPRAY PEN and added Whisper re-inker to add some "texture" to the bottom left side of my card.  

I thought I'd show you a close up of the bottom right of the card...

Did you notice the addition of the liquid glass?  What a FUN element to add to your creations!!!  

Here is a close up of the berry card. 
This berry card IS different than the one shown in the picture above....

...I chose to use the pink dotted paper vs. the red plus design to create the berry card too - and decided to add the liquid glass to the top part of the card as well. 

This Taste of Summer stamp set IS Cricut compatible with our Artiste Cartridge - so it makes it VERY easy to stamp this "yummy" banner.

Items used to create this card.... 
Taste of Summer paper pack
Taste of Summer stamp set
Artiste Cricut Cartridge
Pear cardstock
Spray Pen
Whisper re-inker
Striped Embossing Folder
