Words to Stamp By

That is what I think of when I look at January 2109's Stamp of the Month, Card Captions (S1901).

The lovely sentiments and different fonts make this a MUST HAVE for the cardmakers!

And just a few images thrown in give you options for the inside and envelopes for those beautiful cards you will create.

My first project used the leftovers from the butterfly stencil I created for a card shared a few months ago. I used the butterfly cutouts to create a cascade of movement with a few sparkles added, cause you can never have enough sparkle.

The sentiment was stamped in White Daisy Pigment ink and embossed with clear embossing powder.

What else goes with cascading butterflies? Of course, sunshine and rainbows. Add a few flowers along the edge of envelope, yes this stamp set has everything you will need.

And you can get it for $5 with a qualifying purchase!! Check out the new Seasonal Expression 1 Idea Book, goes live today, January 1st, and your copy of the Idea Book will be added to your order FREE!

FREE with your first 2019 order!

Put a little HEART in your ART!

Love of Color - CTMH Technique Blog Hop

How do know you what colors go together? Would you love to have a guide? This month our technique use the Love of Color (9045) how to book.

If you have hopped from Katy's blog, you are on the right track.

My favorite color is pink so I began to search through the many pink colors we carry. I loved the ballerina, Heather, Black, and Pewter option shown here. I loved the card so much, I created it using the Bestie Therapy Cardmaking Workshop Your Way stamp set. Any stamp set with a coffee mug is my favorite.

Using this how to book, Love of Color (9045), makes creating so much EASIER!! 

Now to hop on over to Lauren's blog to see what she has in store for us!!

I like to grab a few stamps from my stash and a Oh What Fun paper pack (X7238B) letting me create a variation on the two card designs.

Tis The Season Blog Hop

It is time for another Close To My Heart featured paper pack blog hop. This month we are featuring Tis The Season with it's traditional Christmas color theme!

If you have hopped over from Haley's blog, you are on the right path!

This month I am sharing 'how to use up' those Tis The Season scraps.

I used the new Thin Cuts - Fancy Tags (Z4305) to create Christmas tags. I used scraps of Tis The Season and kept it in the coordinating colors of Candy Apple, Fern, New England Ivy with Black as a neutral. A little Cricut snowflake tag finished off these tags.

Now head on over to Kathleen's blog to see what wonderful Tis The Season project she has in store for us!

Shake Things Up! - CTMH Technique Blog Hop

November is all about Shaker FUN! If you have joined me from Katy's blog, you are on the right path! 

This month I thought why not Shake Up one of the Craft With Heart subscription layouts. The layout's preprinted base page looked like tags and scraps of pattern paper. It looked perfect to add a little shaker! Using the Shaker Thin Cuts, I cut a circle out of Linen and the frame and stars out of Candy Apple. The '25' is a sticker that comes with this month's subscription. The Shaker is filled using the Gold Sequin shaker pack and the Candy Apple stars.

The '25' sticker was going to be placed on the corner of the photo, so that is where I placed the Shaker.

What FUN this added to layout!

If you like what you see and have questions, please ask in the comments. If you don't have a consultant, I would love to serve you. Click HERE for my website.
