Welcome to the Close To My Heart Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for November, featuring Cherish the Day


HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!

All artwork on the hop will feature Cherish the Day!  This is a set of 44 stamps!   If you have come here from Elizabeth's blog you are on the right path.




This month we have  over 60 CTMH Consultants sharing their SOTM creations, and other great CTMH artwork. Hopping along is fun and simple to do - just click the link at the end of each blogger's post to move to the next one!  Be sure to leave some love (comments) along the way :)
 
Today I have three cards for you!
This Halloween card is my favorite of the season!  I used Mischief Level 2 papers, along with Kraft cardstock.  I cut a tag and ticket shapes using Art Philosophy.  I used the August SOTM Wicked to create the black pattern on the tag.  Then this month's SOTM Cherish the Day on the ticket. 
This is a simple birthday card I created for my husband's birthday this week!  I used Art Philosophy to cut a card in the postage stamp shape.  The patterned paper is retired Stardust, and again a ticket shape with the November SOTM image. 

And now my favorite card of the bunch :)

This is an Anniversary card for my hubby :)  I cut the card shape and papers in the bracket shape with Art Philosophy.  I stamped the November SOTM image in Grey Wool ink in first and second generation, then the number for the date (and years!!) in Tulip.  I pleated a strip of Tulip cardstock and put one of our fabulous Rhinestone Designer Brads in the center.  And the bottom is patterned paper from Mischeif- pretty :)

I almost don't want to give it to him.....

This Stamp Of The Month set:  Cherish the Day, can be yours two ways:
Purchase it for $17.95 OR
Spend $50 and get it for only $5
Make sure you get this fabulous set before 11/30!

I just know you are going to see some amazing, and very versatile projects along this hop!!!! Now hop on over to DAWN'S BLOG  to see what she has created for you!

CTMH---- Adorable Owl Artwork!

When I first saw these displayed at CTMH Convention, I fell in LOOOOVE!!!!!  Whoooo would not love these???  Take a look at what CTMH corporate office has created, and how they created it :) 

Home décor just took on a whole new level of cuteness! These quick and easy owl-themed projects are a great way to bring a smile to the faces of all who see them.

The Elemental Paper pack is just the right choice for these projects! 

Canvas Wall Hanging
Create this paper-pieced owl—isn’t he a cutie?—then attach it to a 12" x 12" canvas (available at your local craft store). Here are some tips:
  • Cut the pieces freehand or print some clip art from the Internet for a pattern. We used the flower stamp from My Acrylix® Fill in the Blank (D1465) as a template for the feet, and used the
    1 1/4" circle punch (Z1311) to punch the eyes from Cocoa cardstock.
  • We wanted to add Juniper to the artwork, so we added the Typeset Juniper damask B&T Duos® paper to the Sorbet, Crème Brulee, and Olive B&T papers from Elemental.
  • For the background, score a piece of 12” x 12” cardstock at
    1 1/4" intervals. Turn the paper over and lightly sand the ridges using a sanding block.
    • If the Sorbet background doesn’t match your particular color scheme, substitute Olive, Juniper, Desert Sand, Crème Brulee, or Cocoa cardstock for it.
  • Attach the eyes, beak, wings, and belly to the body, using 3-D foam tape on the wings and beak. Be sure to outline the entire wings and beak with foam tape and add some in the middle to make sure it’s sturdy.
  • Attach the finished owl body to the cardstock base then attach the whole thing to the canvas using Liquid Glass or Mod Podge.

Paper Mobile
Crafting this lightweight mobile is a cinch when you use two packages of Dimensional Element On Target (Z1226) chipboard circles, a 1 1/4" circle punch (Z1311), and the My Acrylix® Hot Diggity (C1407) stamp set.
  • Stamp owl five times each in Crème Brulee, Sorbet, and Juniper on Colonial White cardstock; trim. Turn cut-out image over and stamp on the blank side.
  • Punch 10 pairs of circles each from Elemental (Crème Brulee and Sorbet) and Typeset (Juniper) B&T Duos papers. Attach pairs of matching circles together to hide back of B&T.
  • Leaving space between each element, use a sewing machine to stitch through centers of circles or owls. Be sure to leave extra thread at the top.
  • Take the largest scallop circle from each Dimensional Elements package and sponge surface with Sorbet ink. Sponge edges with Cocoa ink, if desired.
  • Create the top of the mobile as follows:
    • Flip one of the scallop circles upside down so the sponged surface is facing away from you.
    • Tie bow in ribbon and secure ends with Liquid Glass to the white side of the Dimensional Element scallop circle. We used the dotted ribbon from the Designer Ribbon Colonial White collection (Z1126).
    • Use piercing tool to punch nine evenly spaced holes on the same white side of the Dimensional Elements scallop circle. Pull thread through each hole, starting under the circle on the sponged side; knot to secure.
    • Use Liquid Glass to attach second Dimensional Elements circle to first, placing white sides together and sandwiching thread ends and ribbon.
  • Alternate idea: If you’d like to use more of your Dimensional Elements circles, simply incorporate them in the mobile by switching out some of the punched circles or stamped owls. All you’ll do is match up sizes from each package, sponge or cover them with B&T paper, attach thread to center of one on white side, and then attach the white sides together. Simple! 
Shop Online for all these products to create your own owls too!  ctmh.com/roxybonds

CTMH- Halloween Ribbon Wreath with Art Philosophy Flowers

I am now finally finished with my Halloween decoration projects for this year. 

I created a wreath using ribbon and rolled flowers cut from my Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge.
I wrapped the black and white ribbon around the foam wreath.  Then I added a ribbon hanger to the back.  I cut one flower at 5 1/2 " out of Sunset cardstock, and two at 4 1/2 " out of Gypsy cardstock.  I added some sweet leaf ribbon under the flowers to give the look of "leaves".



Very fun and easy to create :)

Stamping 101 with my 3 year old!

I have people tell me all the time "I can't stamp".  Well I'm here to tell you, if my 3-year old can do it, ANYONE CAN! 

My kids absolutely LOVE to come in my craft room with me to "cut" but really they always want to "stamp".  Today my daughter was using my princess stamps from CTMH and created a stamped collage.  I told her how to ink up her stamps and she went to work.  She kept saying "tap, tap, twist, twist, tap, tap". 

TURN YOUR VOLUME UP



This is her collage:


And then my son created this card.  


See..... ANYONE can do it :) 

This video is brought to you by my future Close To My Heart downline, and my lovely daughter, Allison!

Halloween Trick or Treat Blog Hop Day 2

Welcome to DAY TWO of the Fabulous Halloween Trick or Treat Blog Hop!!!!!

You should have arrived from Denise's Blog  The hop begins on Kathryn's blog if you'd like to start at the top. 


Make sure you check out my DAY ONE post, if you missed it:  CLICK HERE!

Today I'm proud to show you the adorable treat bags that I'm making for my kid's friends for Halloween :) 


I used the CTMH Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge to cut everything on this treat bag.  I set it at 5 1/2" for the bag itself (So I could get 2 treat bags per 12x12 sheet). 
I created the candy corn image by cutting the pennant shape in white, orange and yellow cardstock.  I then cut the colors to make a candy corn, and of course flipped the pennant to be a triangle! 
The candy corn was stamped with "Trick or Treat" from the Close to my Heart stamp set Thriller (2010).
Finally I cut a tag in white and used some OLD Sassy Strands to attach it to the handle. 

VERY simple and easy!  I know the kids are going to love them!  (Well the candy that will be inside anyways)

YOU can pick up your very own Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge!!!!  Order yours by 10/31 and I'll send you an Idea Book PLUS a treat for FREE!!!!!  CLICK HERE to order!

This Witch wall hanging was super easy to create!  I took a 9x9 canvas and Mod Podged some newspaper clippings right onto it.  Then I painted the edges black.  I used the "A Child's Year" cricut cartridge to cut the witch out at 7".  I Mod Podged that on top and voila!  30 minute project!!

9x9 Canvas
Newspaper
CTMH Black Cardstock
Mod Podge
