CTMH Australasian Blog Hop - S1612 Thoughful Flowers SOTM

Hello and welcome aboard our December 2016 Thoughtful Flowers Stamp of the Month Australasian Blog Hop. If you have arrived here from Maz Wood: aMAZing Close TO My Heart Creations then you are in the right place. If you landed here by accident, no problem, please join in by following the link at the end of this post.

I would like to share with you some cards I have created featuring the December Stamp of the Month, Thoughtful Flowers S1612. This stamp set is available during this month only, for $27 or for just $7.50 when you spend $75 or more. 

Now I'm predominately a scrapbooker but when I saw this stamp set I had a picture in my mind and I just had to make some cards. I will also reproduce them onto page layouts so it's a win for me!

Don't forget to pin photos to Pinterest!

For this card I did random stamping onto Black Cardstock using White Daisy Pigment Ink. I stamped over the top of two of the flowers with Versamark Ink and then heat embossed before adding the Gold Foil Tape and gems. Next I stamped the sentiment in Black Ink on a scrap of White Daisy, dovetailed the end and adhered it with 3D-Foam Tape.  

This next card was a little hard to photograph well. Again I random stamped the Black Cardstock but this time I used coloured Mini Pigment Inks and then heat embossed the lot. I used a piece of lace ribbon from the Rustic Home ribbon pack and Bitty Sparkles to embellish. I also used 3D-Foam Tape to adhere the cute little sentiment: You're a whole lot of wonderful. 

With my third card I stamped in coloured Pigment Inks on White Daisy Cardstock, masking some of the flowers to overlap them. I adhered it to a black mat and added Gold Shimmer Trim along the top edge. I stamped another flower and fussy cut it out, cutting off the leaves and tucking one back under it when I adhered it to the card with 3D-foam Tape. This time I used the Best Wishes sentiment in Black ink, adhered it with foam tape and added gems.

The flowers that I stamped on White Daisy cardstock, I just fussy cut out with my Non-stick Micro Tip Scissors. They are fabulous for cutting finer details. I raised one of each with 3D Foam tape and stamped the leaves directly onto the page with Black Exclusive Ink.

I used a different Stamp Set for the banner - D1648  Snapshot  Memories and daubed around the edge with Black Ink. I then added some Clear Sparkles for bling! Cardstock colours used are Sunset, Eggplant, Pear and Black.

Today I would like to share with you a double page layout which features September 2015 Stamp of the Month

Paper Garden S1509 

available exclusively throughout September for $7.50 when you spend $75. Or just pay rrp of $27 for the SOTM if you don't need to order $75 worth this month. 

I really wanted to try background stamping with these stamps and as you can see, I went a little crazy with colour! I chose Cashmere, Sorbet and the new Pomegranate Inks and Cardstocks.

I started with the Cashmere Ink and randomly stamped different flowers on the White Daisy Cardstock. I then stamped in Sorbet and finished with Pomegranate. I chose Sorbet Cardstock to mat the photos and roughed up the edges with our Edge Distresser to show the white core of the cardstock.

I daubed the edges of the white journal box with Pomegranate and stamped another flower image.

I added a strip of Cashmere Cardstock along the top of the Sorbet photo mats. The Thick Twine down the sides is also our new colour Poppy Z3094.

I added a couple of Pomegranate Cardstock accents, some bling and our new Coral Shimmer Trim Z3088 along the bottom.

Framed S1508 - August 2015 SOTM

This month is exciting because we have released a NEW My Reflections Paper Pack, Complements, Assortment and Workshop on the Go Kit

 called ZOE! It is available NOW.

I have made a pretty birthday card using the new Zoe Papers(X7197B) and Complements(X7197C) combined with August SOTM-Framed S1508 available exclusively throughout August for just $5 when you spend $75. Or you can just buy it for the rrp of $27.

The top section of the card has a piece of Sorbet cardstock which I embossed using the Dot Embossing Folder (Z1924) on the Cuttlebug.

The bottom section has a piece of new Zoe B&T duos with a cute spotty design and a smaller piece of Glacier Cardstock on top.

Through the centre is our gorgeous NEW Coral Shimmer Trim (Z3088). 

I stamped the Framed image in Glacier Ink (Z2641) on a scrap of White Daisy Cardstock and cut it out with my Micro Tip Scissors. I then stamped Happy Birthday in Sorbet Ink (Z2164) and used 3D Foam tape to adhere it to the card.

Next I chose some of the sweet little flowers and leaves from the Zoe Complements to adhere onto the Glacier piece then added Bitty Sparkles for some bling! 

Here are a couple more designs from CTMH.
