Blog Hop.







Welcome to the New Fall/Winter Idea Book Blog Hop!




All items used are CTMH.  
new! Hooligans Paper Pack
new! Opaques Licorice
new!  Sunset Ink
Black Ink
Clear Card Scallop Circle
Rustic Numbers Stamp Set
Noted Backgrounds Stamp Set 
Wishes How-to Cardmaking book.


To create the 16, I used a fun little technique I picked up from fellow CTMH Consultant, Tresa Black.  She is seriously talented (as you will see if you continue on this blog hop) and featured this technique, Stamp Kissing, on her blog a while ago.

1.  Ink up your number stamp with Sunset Ink.
2.  Ink up the line stamp from the Noted Backgrounds set.  (looks like journaling lines)
3.  Take each stamp in each of your hands and Kiss or press them together.
4.  Now, gently turn both of your stamps, still in the air, pressed together, in opposite directions.
5.  This will remove some of the ink and create the animal, tiger striped look.

Love it!  I have used this technique with the same stamp set with hot pink instead of the Sunset.  Too cute!!!

Next up on the Blog Hop is Carla.   Click here to go to Carla's blog.

Happy Hopping!

Welcome to the Blog Hop. . .

So glad you joined in on the fun!!! If you are just starting out. . .here is how the Blog Hop works. . .

Several Close to My Heart Consultants joined together to put on a Blog Hop! They have been working hard creating beautiful artwork showcasing some of the brand new products you will find in the Summer Idea Book!!! Once you browse through the artwork I have posted, then Click on the link at the bottom of this post. This will take you on to the next blog and to see more artwork!!! Keep clicking the links and browsing around! If you ever get lost. . .I am posting the participating blogs at the very bottom of the page! Just come back here and find a new blog to hop on to!!!! Now for the fun stuff. . .

Here are some of the things I have been working on. . .


Here is a view of the 3x3 1/2 card up close. I used the Robot Power Stamp Set, Field Trip Alphabet, Tinkerin Scrapbooking Kit, Clear Buttons, Tulip Ink, Clover Meadow ink, Sunny Yellow ink, and Twilight ink for this card. Sorry the picture is a bit blurry!


Here is the gift box I made. I used one sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 paper. I found the directions for this off of Split Coast Stampers, but I would be happy to share with you!! Products used were the Tinkerin Kit, Happy Birthday Stamp Set, Red Craft Button, White Daisy Grosgrain RIbbon, Black ink.

I decided to go ahead and share this with you even though it is a work in progress. I have wanted to do a mini-album about all of the cute things my little guy says. He is 4 and loves to invent his own way of saying things. I believe he gets this trait from my Mother, because she is always calling things by the wrong name. ANYWAY. . .I was so excited when I saw the new 3 ring mini-albums from CTMH!! I knew it would be perfect! So far, I have documented Canmote=remote. . .condrections=directions, goad rader=road grader, increbidle=incredible, and hopicopter=helicopter. I plan on sharing this album in its entirety just as soon as I get it finished!!!

Here is another gift box. . . this one is using Crystal Blue Cardstock, the Tickled Pink Stamp set, Say it in Style Stamp set, Black ink, Blush ink, and Crystal Blue ink. This is one of the projects my Sunday Scrappers Club completed at their last meeting!



Another card. . . I used paper from the Unforgettable Kit (new in the Spring Idea Book) but I just had to share! This one was actually made by one of my Club members. She accidentally picked mine up and took it home. . . but they look very similar! I really don't know how she could tell!!! Anyway, I found this pattern on Split Coast Stampers as well. I used Unforgettable Kit, Aspiration Stamp Set, Sorbet ink, Blush ink, and Chocolate ink. The flowers pull out to reveal a place to write your message!


And another Club Card. . . I used the Stamp set from the Tickled Pink kit, white daisy cardstock, crystal blue cardstock, crystal blue ink, Blush ink, and white daisy ribbon. The measurements are 5 x12. Score at the 4 inch and 8 inch mark. Cut the outside panels in half. Adhere paper to front. Fold and adhere sides in. Make a card for center!!! Done! Very easy to do and this can be used so many different ways!!! Let me know if you need further instructions!!!



This is another Card my Club completed at their last meeting. I used the Money holder template from the Originals book, Sonata Paper Pack, Liquid Glass, Prisma Glitter, Chocolate ink, For every occasion stamp set.


I hope you have enjoyed your hop on my blog!!

Tinkerin Artwork . .



This is some of the beautiful artwork done with the featured kit for May: TInkerin! I just LOVE this kit!! It is so summery and fun! There are two robots that come on the sticker sheet, but other than that it is a very universal kit!!

I had a GREAT time yesterday, playing with this Kit! I finished up all 6 of the layouts for May's workshop (minus a little stamping, because I ordered the wrong stamp set. . . not the first time and I am sure not the last!) I also made a little treat bag, that I hope to post soon. . . . and I am working on a little mini-album. . . similar to the one in the picture, called Bradyisms. . . kids say the funniest things and as Brady is outgrowing some of his funny mispronunciations, I hope to remember some, so we can revisit them in the future! I hope to get time to finish it up today. We are working in the greenhouse today, so it probably won't be until this evening!!!!

I have added several new things to the right side of my blog. . . if you click on most of the pictures, it will take you to my website!

Also, soon. . I will be participating in a BLOG HOP. . . several Close to My Heart Consultants have decided to do this. . .each of us is creating some fun new artwork with some of the brand new Summer Products. . .we will link another Consultant's blog under our artwork. . .so you should be able to hop around from blog to blog and see some fabulous new stuff!! More information to come soon!!!

Have a good day!
