November Stamp of the Month Blog Hop- Illuminate

Welcome to the Close To My Heart Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for November 2013- featuring Illuminate



If you have come here from Susan's Blog you're on the right path. 

How cute is this stamp set??  It shines bright, sparkles & shines.  The possibilities are endless :)
Today I have created a card using the Sparkle & Shine papers, Black Shimmer Trim & Illuminate!
To create this card, I stamped the Lightpost image with black pigment ink on the Juniper cardstock.  Then I stamped the lantern on a white piece of cardstock, colored it with Cranberry Marker, and used foam tape to pop it up.  I punched the black shimmer trim with our new Scallop Border Punch.  The sentiment is from a former stamp of the month along with Sparkle & Shine from Illuminate. 
On one side of the Circle- I stamped the dove image in Ruby.

My ladies created this card at last night's Holiday Card Class :)

The next amazing CTMH Consultant on our hop list is Sheila's Blog. Take a look at what she's created for us this month!

~*~ Holiday Blog Hop ~*~

Welcome to the Paper Secrets Holiday Blog Hop. I made a couple of things to share with you today. I created this lovely paper tree by punching a LOT of 1 1/4" circles of Mistletoe Paper, then used pearl floral pins to secure them in rows to a styrofoam cone.  As I neared the top, I had to use some adhesive so that they did not flare out, but sit in the cone shape.  At the top, I stamped 3 stars and adhered them to the top of the cone.  Supplies: Styrofoam cone Pearl Floral Pins CTMH Mistletoe level 2 paper CTMH Mistletoe Creative Basics paper D1320 Shining Star Stamps I created a second paper tree using instructions from Tracey Mason .  I created an accordion flower with a stamped sentiment for my topper on this one.   Supplies: Styrofoam Cone CTMH Mistletoe Level 2 papers K& Co paper D1380 Just for the Holidays Stamps I created a total of four paper trees to sit upon my mantel!  The "subway art" was a free printable from eighteen25 ....

April Showers Blog Hop

Thanks for joining me for another weekend of Blog Hoppin Fun!   If you have come here from Tina's Blog , you are on the right path!  Keep on hoppin until the end :) April Showers is our theme, and I went with the "shower" theme and made baby cards for baby showers!  I am addicted to making these stacked present cards lately!  I first saw one that my friend Jayma made, who found it on Vicki's blog.  Recently, I saw a couple cute ones on Haley's blog too.   I cut my paper strips at 1.25 tall x 3, 2.25 and 1.5 long.  Add a ribbon down the center, or just a bow on top and you're set!  I used the Sweet Baby stamp set and Polka Dot Alphabet for my sentiments.   Now I'm all set for the next baby shower..... (though I don't know any preggos right now).   This design is also great for Birthday Cards too!!!!  I made two each of these cards and stamped Birthday sentiments on them :) Supplies: BOY: Miracle Level 2 Sweet Baby...

Welcome to the September Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for Family is Forever If you have come here from   Judy's Blog ,  you're on the right path.  This month we have 80 amazing artists' blogs for you to visit. This stamp set is beautiful!  Lately I have seen this fun and easy marker technique, so I decided to give it a try with the September Stamp of the Month.    Using the ShinHan Twin Touch Markers : Leaf Green, Turquoise Blue, Vivid Green and Cerulean Blue Light, I colored diagonal streaks across the middle of my card.  Then I used Archival Black Ink to Stamp Family is Forever.  I stamped the little hearts in Lagoon ink and added some Blue and Green Sparkles to the bottom.  I used the Die Cut Card , so I added a piece of the Lagoon Paper Fundamentals to the inside of the card.   The September Stamp of the Month is available from September 1-30.  It is only $5 with a $50 purchase on  my webs...
