CTMH-- November Stamp of the Month Blog Hop- Capture the Date

 Welcome to the Close To My Heart Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for November 2012 featuring Capture the Date



Capture the Date features 72 stamps full of Numbers and the Months!  Perfect for all kinds of projects!  If you have come here from Lori's Blog you are on the right path.


Today I have created a birthday card for my little man who is turning 7 this month!  I was going for something big-boy and thought I'd play with the numbers on Capture the Date a little bit.  I used some scraps from the Dakota paper pack and Slate cardstock for my base.  I arranged the numbers on a block, then stamped tone on tone in slate.  I added the number 7 from the Irresistibles Houndstooth Alphabet set and placed it on top of a chipboard die cut from the Artiste Collection.  I added some Outdoor Denim twill ribbon and Durables Round Studs for accents :)






The November Stamp of the Month is available November 1-30.  With any $50 purchase, this set is yours for $5.  Head over to my website to start shopping :  http://roxybonds.ctmh.com/

Baby Shower Creations with CTMH

My brother and his lovely wife are finally making me an AUNT!!!!  I'm over the moon excited!  I love babies, but I am DONE creating my own.  I cannot wait to love on, squeeze, kiss, snuggle and SPOIL their baby!  They are having a baby girl too :) 

My mom and I threw them a couples/family shower and it was my job to create decorations for the shower.  I took it upon myself to create some gifts as well. 

The theme we went with was Baby Carriages, in their colors:  Grey, Pink and White.

JOURNAL:  I used an older CTMH Journal, Dotty For You papers, Sweet Leaf Ribbon, Friendship Alphabet and Polka Dot Alphabet.


EMILY BANNER:  I cut the Baby Carriages  with the Graphically Speaking Cricut Cartridge.  I used Posterboard Alphabet for the letters.

EMILY BLOCKS:  This is by far my favorite of all the things I created!  I used the CTMH 3x3 My Creations chipboard blocks and created the fronts using a variety of CTMH papers. The letters are the Eclectic Alphabet.  I added some bling and a couple of rolled roses.  I glued them all side by side and wrapped the Slate Satin ribbon around.  I created a bow with the Slate Ribbon and some other Pink Ribbon for the top!  


BUTTERFLY FRAMES:  These were used on the game table.  I took a nice white frame I picked up at Michaels, and altered it by adding layered butterflies glued onto the frame. The butterflies were cut in 3 colors, from the Art Philosophy Collection.  I made 2 of these for them to use in her room :) I love this one too, and plan to make some more to sell!!  


MONOGRAMS:  This was one of the guessing games, I stamped the decorative frame with  Perfect Fit Frames and then stamped with the Monogram E

MONOGRAM NOTECARDS:  Finally, I created 36 notecards for them to use as Thank You's.  I used a variety of CTMH and other papers (La Belle Vie, Lucy), stamped the decorative frame with  Perfect Fit Frames and then stamped with the Monogram E


I am now feeling quite guilty that my unborn niece has such amazing hand-made personalized items.... I need to create some more fun stuff for my daughter!

Here are some more of the party decorations:

Baby Carriages with flowers on each table

Patio of tables with baby clothesline

Cake & Desserts table

Baby Pictures strung on the mantle

The cute mommy and daddy to be!

CTMH-- Spellbound Cards


CTMH has a super cute Workshop Kit that was created especially to coordinate with the new Artiste Cricut CollectionSPELLBOUND! 

I love the papers that came in this kit!  They are the traditional Orange (Sunset), Black, Grey (Slate) and White.  I used the spellbound kit to create the banner, several cupcake wrappers, a couple of treat bags and used the leftovers for these 6 cards:


I even have some more leftover to create a layout or two.... :)

http://roxybonds.ctmh.com/CTMH/Content.aspx?id=%2fen%2fsitecore%2fcontent%2fOBA%2fProducts%2fStudio_J.aspx

Here's what's super cool!  You are now a part of my exclusive STUDIO J CLUB!!!  Each time you place your STUDIO J order (whenever that may be), the first thing it will ask you is if you want your order to attach to an open party on my website.  Click on STUDIO J- October (or whatever month we are in).  All orders then qualify to earn HOSTESS REWARDS--- which I will pass on each month to YOU! 

GET TRICKY.... 
Even though Studio J® is fast and easy to use, it is helpful to know some great tricks that can make customizing your layouts even more exciting. Here are some Studio J tricks straight from our professional Close To My Heart artists:
1. Customize your background and texture paper. You can change the color and intensity of the background and texture paper included in whichever kit you choose. Simply select the piece of background and texture paper, change the color in the color selection tool, and increase or decrease the intensity of the color in that same popup box.
2. Crop My Stickease® quotes, titles, and tags. The cropping feature on the My Stickease images allows you to select a section of a quote, title, or tag to use as a border or other embellishment.
3. Create a customized My Stickease image. If you have a specific image in mind to use as an embellishment on your page, you can create a customized My Stickease to fit your theme perfectly. Simply add a text box, photo hanger, ribbon, ribbon slides, and Stickease to create the little suitcase! So easy! Be sure to crop or send elements behind other elements when necessary, and add several elements together for a unique look!

4. Select more than one element at a time. If you want to move several elements of your layout at once, simply click and drag your mouse around the elements you would like to select. Let’s take buttons, for example. After the buttons have been selected, you can click the icons in the popup box to choose to align the buttons vertically or horizontally if you desire.
5. Make faux washi tape with vellum text boxes. To create the look of a piece of clear washi tape, make a small rectangular text box, filled with vellum background (this is the default color for text boxes). You can make the tape strips as large or small as you want, or even layer them for more emphasis.

6. Stretch one photo across multiple photo wells. If you have fewer photos than photo wells, instead of deleting the excess wells, try scaling the picture to a larger size and then copying the picture to other photo wells and matching the photos up until they align with an almost seamless image. This trick works best with photo wells that are adjacent to each other.
7. Create ruffled ribbon. Select “Ribbons” in the drop-down menu under the Embellishments toolset. Choose ribbon tab and rotate the tab so that it is vertical on the page. Then layer several tabs on top of one another, sending every other one to the back to create a ruffled look.

8. Create a jagged border with text boxes. You can create a jagged border simply by rotating multiple text boxes about 45 degrees and making them the same color as the background. Put these boxes on top of a long, rectangular box of another color, and you’ve got a jagged border!

9. Change the background of your layout. Sometimes you may like the photo and journal arrangement in a layout, and yet want to change the background colors. Because photos sit on top of everything else, this is easy to do. Simply pull a journaling box over the space you want for a different background and fill it with a color from the color selection tool or a patterned paper from the Papers toolset. Then, send it backwards until the photo wells are on top of your new background.
Bonus Trick! Use keyboard keys to make embellishments. Did you know that some of the best tools for creating custom embellishments are the basic keys on your keyboard? It’s as simple as typing into a journaling box with no background color. Use periods to make a polka dot pattern, angle brackets to create a trendy Chevron look, overlapping pound signs to make burlap, question marks to make rope, and so much more!



Get started with Studio J today!!!!
