April 2015 Stamp of the Month Bloghop

Welcome to this month's Stamp of the Month Bloghop featuring, "Typed Note".

Prepare to see some wonderful projects using this versatile stamp set. This month there are 67 CTMH consultants participating in this bloghop. In each post there will be links to the before and after blogs. So you may have come to mine via Stefani Ewing's Blog. When you are ready, just click on Gina Brandstetter's Blog to go to the next one following me. Should you have a problem during this hop you can visit Melinda Everett's Blog for a complete list of the bloghop order.

I have created a birthday card appropriate for a guy. It was so easy to make. I stamped the vintage typewriter image on White Daisy cardstock using Sunset Ink Pad and stamped the sentiment with Glacier Ink Pad. I used the Sunset colored B&T from the new, Blossom Paper Packet and did second generation stamping in Lagoon Ink of the pointed index finger image to make a different pattern. I stamped the same image with Lagoon Ink Pad in regular stamping on White Daisy. After I fussy cut it out, I attached a bow from Glacier Extra Thick Twine with a mini Glue Dot. The whole image was adhered with 3-D tape. Everything else was attached with EZ Dots tape runner. I applied our blue sequins from a retired WOTG, but our Lagoon Dots would work nicely. The base is 4.25" x 5.5" regular card from our Value Pack of cards and envelopes.

The "Typed Note" Stamp set is available only in April of 2015. You may qualify to purchase it for $5 or pay $17.95 outright on my retail site nancysheart2heart.ctmh.com. Your own consultant will offer it, too.

Enjoy the rest of the SOTM Bloghop and thanks for stopping by! Nancy

Stamp of the Month Bloghop for March 2015

Welcome to the March 2015 Stamp of the Month Bloghop featuring "Choose Happy"!

You are visiting a bloghop of over 70 participating, CTMH consultants this month. You'll jump from blog to blog by clicking on the provided links. You may have just been checking out Alyson Mayo's Blog. After looking at mine, you will click on Pamela Ellison's Blog. For a complete list of the bloggers visit ifyoublingit.blogspot.com.

I decided to change it up a bit this month and decorated our cupcake box. I wanted to do a concept of a memento guests could take with them following an Easter Brunch. This would be something they could add pictures or do journaling to later. Instead of a cupcake, there would be something lasting inside the box.

I wanted to do something crafty inside the box, but didn't have time to get it together. But here is a magazine view from an advertisement in "Parent Magazine" of my plans.

The actual supplies I used for the decorated cupcake box are:

Designer Creations Cupcake Box
Brushed Paper Pack
Brushed Assortment
Sparkles Black Flourishes
White Daisy Card Stock
Exclusive Ink - Pear, Black
Retired Marker - Sunny, Cranberry
Silver Metallic Pen (not ours)
Black Journaling Pens (retired)
3-D Foam Tape
Bonding Memories Glue Pen
Adhesive Tape Runner
Topiary Mini Chevron Ribbon

I believe that's what I used!

Remember that "Choose Happy" is only available in March 2015. You can click here to order yours or connect with your consultant.

Enjoy the rest of the bloghop!

Card Kits for April 2014

Hello Again!

I am super excited to show you my new card kits this April! They have a "shabby chic" feel which I find all over my house. I might have to frame some. Any of these could be changed into a Mother's Day card if you are planning for May already.

When you order a kit, you get precut papers, embellishments and ribbons to make five cards. I will prestamp them, too if you chose. You will be able to select whether "I stamp for you" or "You do your own stamping" when you place your order. If you want to stamp your own, then the price includes the necessary stamp sets plus a mini, black, pigment ink pad. I will send full assembly directions.

Here are the card kits:

SOTM Bloghop for April 2014

Welcome to the SOTM Bloghop for April 2014! We are excited to have you onboard!

This bloghop features the stamp set, "Balloon Talk" which has 24 stamps.

You are going to see some amazing art by the 54 participating CTMH consultants! The bloghop is a big circle so you can start at any place and then just chose the next blog to keep going. Or you can go backwards around the loop! So the blog before mine, which you may have seen then hopped to me is Dawn Ross' Blog. When you are finished with mine, click on Susan Brooks' Blog to hop to the next. If you get lost along the way, there is a list of bloggers at http://ifyoublingit.blogspot.com/p/stamp-of-month-blog-hop-list.html. When you are done, you'll want to get started crafting right away!! Here is a link to my retail site so you can get your hands on stuff you see!

I chose to make a greeting card (back to my comfort zone from my departure last month)! Initially I did not know what to do with the "balloons". Then I decided to pair them with a stamp from another set. I chose "Pick-A-Posey" from our current Idea Book. But I had to come up with an idea that didn't need very much B&T since I'd already used so much in the March Bloghop. So I found a layout in the Idea Book which I just altered a bit. Here is what I did:

The products I used are:

April SOTM
Pick-a-Posey stamp set
Ariana paper pack
White Daisy cardstock
Sorbet ink pad
Olive ink pad
Crystal Blue ink pad
Slate ink pad
Ariana Assortment (the bow)
Neutral Metallic Baker's Twine (Slate)
Microtip scissors
Tombow, 3-D Foam Tape
Cardbase 5.5 x 4.25

I like how it turned out, but it was a struggle! I was so tired when I started that I actually made so many mistakes. Don't look closely because you will see them!! Lesson learned: Don't try to create something from scratch when I am exhausted already because I was frazzled by the time I finished!

The April SOTM is only available from April 1 to April 30. Don't miss the opportunity to get it because it is so versatile. Click here to order yours! With a $50 order you can get it for $5! Or just order it for $17.95.

Now click on Susan Brooks' Blog to see what fantastic art she has created!
