CTMH-- July Stamp of the Month Blog Hop- Live Out Loud!

Welcome to the Close To My Heart Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for July  2012, featuring Live out Loud!


 
All artwork on the hop will feature Live out Loud!  This is a set of 8 stamps, featuring wonderful sentiments!  It is a must have :)  If you have come here from Beth's blog you are on the right path.

How fun is this set of stamps!  "Imagine the Possibilities"!!!


Today I have taken inspiration from a couple different cards that I've seen lately.  I love the black and white with pop of color that I found in Wendy's card on Pinterest.  I saw another consultant sponge color on little strips of our Color Ready Seam Binding Ribbon on Pinterest as well. 

For my card- I combined both of those- I used a White Daisy card base, stamped my sentiment "Imagine the possibilities" in black.  I used some markers to color in a couple of the letters. 
I then used a sponge dauber to color strips of the Color Ready Seam Binding in Tulip, Sorbet, Creme Brule, Pear, Lagoon, Pacifica and Gypsy.  I cut the tails of my ribbons to a pennant and placed them under a strip of black cardstock. 
Very simple and easy- yet so fun!  







The July Stamp of the Month- Live Out Loud is available July 1-31.  With any $50 purchase, this set is yours for $5.  

Don't forget July's Perfect Pairings special!  Spend $75 on my website during the month and you'll get an added bonus to your order (based on the date you place your order).  Be sure to check out all the details HERE!  And then SHOP HERE!

CTMH- Studio J Layouts

Now that I've showed you some of CTMH's latest Studio J videos- how about I show you some of MY recent layouts???

CTMH was super generous to convention goers this year- they gave us a Studio J 5-pack code and some instructions for creating 5 layouts.  They will print them and give them to us at convention next month. 

Here are my layouts (along with a couple notes)

At the Zoo:  Magic Moments Paper.  Used some of the stickease to create a scalloped circle border.  


 Dance layout:  Lucy Paper.  LOVE the banners on this one- put brads in between the pennants. 

Kindergarten:  Victory Kit.  The pleated look came from layering ribbon (ribbon tab) all the way across, then stitching on top of it. 


Birthday:  Mischief Paper.  Did you know you can change the color of the papers- who knew this was a Halloween kit!


Fresno State Farm:  Lucky Kit.  Mix fonts, colors and sizes in your title!

What's a Studio J 5-pack---- You can purchase 5 Studio J layouts (shipping and page protectors included) for $55!  This is a great option for non-members or those who just want to try Studio J out.  When you purchase a 5-pack (HERE) you are emailed a code that you then use when you purchase your 5 layouts.

CTMH--- Victory Thank You Cards

Once again my husband was in need of some cards- this time Thank You cards for his coaches.  11 cards to be exact.  I don't exactly have a bunch of "manly" cards laying around...

I chose the Victory Kit once again to create some Thank You cards for the guys. Both cards are patterns from the bonus project in the Victory Workshop on the Go Kit.  I used the Victory Stamp set, Thank You and Thoughtful Tidings.  These were very easy to mass produce :)

CTMH-- Graduation Cards with Victory

This year, we have needed quite a few graduation cards for my husband's baseball players.  I had a couple on hand, but needed to make up a few more. 

I really liked the Victory Kit from CTMH for "manly" cards!  I used the Victory Level 2 paper pack, Victory WOTG stamp set, You and Me stamp set and some minor embellishments to create these cards:
