February SOTM Blog Hop - Sunny Thoughts

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

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

This month, we will be featuring the EXCLUSIVE February SOTM stamp set called "Sunny Thoughts".

This month we have 25 Close To My Heart Consultants that will be sharing items using this month’s stamp set.  So, sit back & enjoy your tour as you click on the link at the end of each post to see what EVERY consultant has created.

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

Here is this months EXCLUSIVE stamp set, that you can get for ONLY $5 with your $50 CTMH purchase in February 2018.

This stamp set caught my eye immediately when I first paged through our Seasonal Expression 1 mini-book.  LOOK at those words, look at the font....the flowers & vines - OH MY! :)   

Let's take a look at the card I created using this stamp set.... 

I chose to use a NEW card design pattern, from our Make It From Your Heart, vol 4 How-To-Book.  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 - "Gimme Some Sugar".  This paper pack is so pretty!! 

Take a look....one part of this card "looks like" paper, but it's not....it's paper I stamped to make it look like paper!! :)  
Did you find it??  Yes...you got it!!! That striped background was created using one of the borders in this stamp set!   

 Let's take another closer look, this time, at the circle where I stamped my sentiment.  
I ADORE the NEW Bashful Glitter Brush and try and use it whenever I can.  I traced the outside of the circle with the Bashful Glitter Brush!!  I love how the brush added just a little sparkle to the outside of the circle.  It was hard to capture on camera...but look closely, and I think you'll be able to see the shimmer. 

To finish off the card, I used some of our NEW Peacock Stitched Ribbon & the black shimmer dots come from the Chelsea Gardens Dots & Gems. 

Have a wonderful SUNNY day! :)

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!

Here we go!

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

We have some BEAUTIFUL, new papers in the NEW Seasonal Expressions 1 (SE1) book & today I chose to use the Make Waves paper collection in this card.  

Take a look....

I loved the color combo of the Make Waves paper collection, and chose to use this with TWO new stamp sets that are in the SE1 book too!!
  
I used the Gimme Some Sugar - Scrapbooking stamp set & the NEW Notes of Inspiration stamp....take a look at these FUN stamp sets!! 

 

My focus on creating this card was to use the NEW Thin Cuts- Basic Circle Tags.  Can you see where I used it on this card design? 

As I cut the Circle Tag from Bashful Glitter Paper...I realized I needed a circle mat for the inside of the circle to stamp the sentiment on.  Imagine MY DELIGHT when I learned that our Basic Circle Shape Thin Cuts fit PERFECTLY inside!! Yay!! 



 For my card design, I pulled out another BRAND NEW PRODUCT (one that I've been waiting to be released for a while!) ...the Make It From Your Heart, vol 4 CARDMAKING How-To-Book!! Wahoo!!  

I LOVE this new book & while there are fabulous card sketches inside - CTMH has made it even BETTER with the tips & techniques scattered throughout this book too!!  It's perfect! :) 

I used the Pansy Pigment ink, clear embossing powder & my heat tool  to make the wording "pop". :)  AND...do you see one more FUN, BEAUTIFUL, NEW product I used??

We now have a BASHFUL Shimmer Brush!!!!!  WAHOOOO!!!!

Notice the sparkle on the flower...and I colored the background of the word "Sparkly" with the Bashful Shimmer Brush too!! What FUN!!

Here is a list of ALL the products I used to create this fun card!

Joyful Stars Blog Hop - Chelsea Gardens WYW 4th layout

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 my friend, Joyce's blog you are right on track.

  Did you know that CTMH released a BRAND NEW Seasonal Expression mini-book on Jan 1, 2018?  

Oh my...it's FILLED with beautiful products!!

Today, let's take a look at this layout I created from leftover scraps. :)  ....let's check it out! 

This layout design was taken from our Make It From Your Heart, vol 3 book - and is pattern #25. :) 

I was putting together the Chelsea Gardens WYW kit for my upcoming class, and wanted to create a 4th layout - with my leftover paper.  





Here is the layout that came from those "leftover" papers...

(you can click on the photo to enlarge it to see details. ;) ) 
...a few things to note...

1. Please keep in mind, my ladies do NOT want to create the cards that are included in the WYW kits. So that means we don't cut the card pieces from the cutting guide.  Instead, we may choose to use that "extra" paper to create more layouts. :) 

2. We will often use White Daisy CS as our base page, not the B&T papers that CTMH suggests in the WYW instructions. 

Here are a few close ups...

The NEW CREAM ribbon is BEAUTIFUL...

...and did you notice the "marbelized" gems that coordinate with the Chelsea Gardens collection? 

 These embellishments are all LEFTOVER pieces from the Workshop Your Way (WYW) kit!!  I think our stickers from the Complements pack are SO pretty...you can hardly tell they are stickers!!

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!!!
