Birthday Wallet

Here is the birthday card I made for my FIL last month - thanks to Dannie Graves for her tutorial with measurements and instructions found HERE. This was super fun and easy and I can't wait to make more now!
The girls created their artwork pieces on gift card sized pieces of CS so they fit right in the wallet.
And instead of cash, there were coupons for hugs and kisses and fun quotes and thoughts about grandpas.
Products Used (all CTMH): Desert Sand CS, Cocoa stamp pad, It's Your Day stamp set, Piercing Tool, Cocoa Marker, Pewter Brads, Corner Rounder.

Thanks for looking!

September Word Puzzle

Here is this month's workshop - I used the *NEW* Twitterpated paper pack along with the September Word Puzzle, August SOTM It's Your Day, and EXCLUSIVE Hello There stamp set - available only in the Workshop Kit. I have included a picture below of the Workshop Kit - they are such a great deal!
***
You can click on the pictures to view them larger.
12x12 Option - Those who select the Basic Option will only create the right page, but anyone who selects the Deluxe, Super Deluxe, or Exclusive will also get the option to create the left page.
6x6 Option
Card Option - Those who select the Exclusive Workshop Options will get to make at least 6 of these cards - with lots of paper left over!


Workshop Kit:
These kits are amazing - this kit includes a B-size stamp set that is not available for purchase separately! In the Twitterpated Kit that I am featuring this month, you’ll get the following:
***Twitterpated Level 2 Paper Pack
***Exclusive B-size Stamp Set - Hello There
***Chocolate Designer Ribbon Rounds
***Full-color brochure with a new scrapbook layout pattern designed by CTMH’s founder & CEO Jeanette Lynton. This brochure is amazing! It contains the cutting diagrams and instructions for creating the featured layout plus cutting diagrams and instructions for creating cards as well. Even after you've created the layouts and/or cards, there are still more papers left over to do more!
The kit's retail value is $35.85 but you pay only $29.95 (plus tax and shipping) - but if you sign up for my Word Puzzle Workshop and choose the Exclusive Option to get this kit, I'll pay your tax and shipping!

SOTM Blog Hop!

Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! We will be featuring August's SOTM, which is called It's Your Day, a set of 26 stamps.
***
This is the beginning of the hop - I hope you'll check out each of the participating blogs - this month we have 64 Close To My Heart Consultants sharing their creations using this month's SOTM and other great CTMH products on their blogs. This is simple to do - just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move to the next one! Here we go!
***
Since I'm always making birthday cards, this was the perfect stamp set to play with - I have three samples to share with you today!

***
Wishes Pattern - Gallery

I made the following card for my nephew who just turned 8 in July - I used one of Jeanette's Color Me Monday challenges, I just left out the color Bamboo. I used the cake layers to create a frame around the sentiment. Colors used: Clover Meadow, White Daisy, Heavenly Blue




Wishes Pattern - Lower Layers

I made this one for my mom's husband who also had a birthday in July. I struggle with masculine cards but I was pleased with how this one turned out - I love those Back Country papers!




I made the following card for a friend back in May for her birthday - I used two challenges for this card, a kwernerdesign color challenge and a Mojo Monday sketch challenge. I did a lot of dry embossing and sanding on this card - I stamped the bow stamp on the back of the Hollyhock paper, then traced with a stylus and sanded the front to create the starburst look. I added punched circles of Sunflower to the centers. Colors used: Hollyhock, Sunflower, Chocolate

Pre-Hop Post!

I’m so excited about the upcoming August Stamp of the Month Blog Hop. There are 64 (!!!) CTMH Consultants participating! Check back here on August 1st - this will be the starting point for the blog hop, but don't worry, if you start somewhere else, you'll still make it all the way around!


In order to make the hop run smoothly, I’m testing out links to Kristie's Blog, she’ll be the one that you’ll jump to after mine. You'll be coming from Jody's blog to make a full circle in the hop. I can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with - I hope you'll hop with us!

If you missed our past SOTM Blog Hops, you can check them out starting at the following links.
