August Stamp of the Month: Wicked

Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! We will be featuring August's SOTM, which is Wicked, a set of 9 stamps. If you have come here from Lisa's Blog, you are on the right path! The blog hop is a great big circle, so you can start here and work your way all around. If you get lost along the way, you’ll find the complete list of participating consultants here.

This month we have over 60 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:

I wanted to do something different with this stamp set.  I'll have plenty of Halloween artwork to show with our wonderful new paper pack, Mischief, later in the month.  But I wanted to do something a little more out of the box for this project.  When I looked at the stamp set, the octagons reminded me of honeycombs and also of some pictures from a long ago trip to the Children's Museum atYunker Farm.  So here is the layout that I created from the Illusion layout in Magic (one of our terrific how-to books):

Right page:

Left page:

Products Used (all CTMH):

Paper:  Lucky paper pack (olive), Honey CS, Black CS, Olive CS, Kraft CS, White Daisy CS (for stamping the bee)

Inks: Honey, Archival Black, Black, Desert Sand, Cocoa

Stamps: Wicked (Aug SOTM), Universal Backgrounds (wood grain), Bee Happy (bee)

Font: Cricut Art Philosophy (NEW)

Accesories: Honey Mini Medley (NEW), Black Mini Medley, Black Hemp, Decor Journaling Spots (NEW)

Other: Magic, Liquid Glass, Waterbrush, Piercing Tool, Texture Tools, 3D Foam Tape 

I did use cocoa ink and my stipple brush over the top of the Kraft CS once I stamped the woodgrain image in Desert Sand.  This further distressed it to give it the look of wood.

I distressed the edges of the paper in black ink.

I stamped the bee image twice in archival black ink.  Once on my layout and once on the White Daisy CS.

I used my waterbrush to color in the bee image on the White Daisy.

I then cut out that image and attached it with the 3D foam tape.

The title is cut on my Cricut with CTMH's new exclusive cartridge: Art Philosophy!

I hope you enjoyed my project.

Now "Hop" on over to Melinda's Blog to see her work! Be sure to visit all the Consultants at their Blogs to get some great crafting ideas and other fun ideas! Remember, the August SOTM is only available until August 31! Contact your CTMH Consultant (or click here) to see how you can get this stamp set at a discount or even free!

Happy Mail

I found this beautiful pendent in my mail today from Close to My Heart.

It is for my 5 year anniversary as a Close to My Heart Independent Consultant.

What a thoughtful surprise from a company that I love to be a part of!

Another card for Summer Card Camp 2011

I used my Paper Smooches Vegtastic Stamp Set and Close to My Heart cardstock on this card.

I still used the Week 2 Color Combo from Summer Card Camp.

Inside of card:

Supplies used:

Cardstock: CTMH Kraft, Tulip, Creme Brulee, Sunset, Pear, Clover Meadow (retired)

Inks: CTMH Black

Stamps: Paper Smooches Vegtastic

Other: Black Pen

Happy 4th of July and a Ribbon Carousel Challenge

I want to wish all my American bloggers a very Happy 4th of July!  Celebrate safe today!

I created this card for the 4th and also for the Ribbon Carousel Challenge.  For this challenge, we were to create a 4th of July project and as always, use ribbon on our project.

I random stamped the background on the front of the card.

I used Stitched Together, Circle Together and Jubilation stamp sets on that background.

The twine came from the Ribbon Carousel.

Supplies used (All CTMH unless noted):

Cardstock: Cranberry, Moonstruck, White Daisy

Inks: Cranberry, Moonstruck

Stamp Sets: Stitched Together, Circle Together, Jubilation (June SOTM), A Little Everything

Other: Divine Twist-Blueberry, Divine Twist-Cherry (both from Ribbon Carousel)

 

Week 2 of Summer Card Camp 2011

Here is my card with the Week 2 Color Combo:

For this card, I cut circles out of the front of the card.  I stamped the colored circles on another scrap of white daisy cardstock with the Hit the Spot stamp set and the Circle Together Stamp Set.

I cut those out and attached them to the back of the circle cut outs.

I then stamped the Stitched Together over the circles on the outside of the card.

Supplies Used (All CTMH unless noted):

Cardstock: White Daisy

Inks: Black, Creme Brulee, Sunset, Tulip, Pear and Clover Meadow (retired)

Stamp Sets: Circle Together, A Little Everything, Stiched Together and Hit the Spot

Other: Circle Cutter (CM)

Online Card Classes: Summer Card Camp 2011

For the first card, I used 2nd generation stamping with the Hit the Spot Stamp Set circles and then stamped the outside of the circles.

I deliberately chose to not line up the circles with the border to acheive a sloppy look.

I then chose the chipboard Irresistibles Eclectic Alphabet

and applied black ink with a sponge.

The colors that I chose for this color challenge were gypsy, cotton candy, sky and sunset.

Supplies used (All CTMH):

Cardstock: White Daisy, Black

Inks: Gypsy, Cotton Candy, Sky, Sunset, Black

Stamp Sets: Hit the Spot

Other: Irresistibles Eclectic Alphabet, sponge

Same colors used here.

I used the Aspiration stamp set to create the background paper, as well as for the big focal flowers.

I random stamped on the background paper and then heat embossed in white.

I then ran a sponge dauber over the embossed flowers in a circular motion.

For the focal flowers, I also embossed them in white embossing powder.

I  used my markers to create the coloring on the flowers and buffed the flower with a cloth to remove any ink from my marker from the white embossing.

I cut out the focal flowers and attached to the card.

I used the Kanji Phrases stamp set for the sentiment.

I based this pattern off of a sketch from class.

Supplies used (All CTMH):

Cardstock: Gypsy, White Daisy, Black

Inks: Gypsy, Cotton Candy, Sky, Sunset

Stamp Sets: Aspiration, Kanji Phrases

Markers: Gypsy, Cotton Candy, Sky, Sunset

Embossing: White Daisy

Other: Heat Gun, Micro Tip Scissors, sponge daubers

On this last card, I used an additional color combo that we were given.

It removed the sunset and added pear in it's place.

I used the Fill in the Blank Stamp Set for the clouds

and heat embossed them in white.

I stamped the hot air balloons in pear, cotton candy and gypsy

and then heat embossed them with clear embossing powder.

I cut them out and added them to the card with

3D foam tape.

Supplies used (All CTMH)

Cardstock: Sky

Inks: Black, Pear, Gypsy, Cotton Candy, Versamark (for embossing clouds)

Stamp Sets: Fill in the Blank (for cloud squish the scallop circle stamp...the beauty of acrylic stamps),

Over the Rainbow (could also use this stamp set for clouds)

Embossing Powder: White Daisy, Clear

Other: Micro tip scissors, 3D foam tape, Heat Gun
