White Pines Blog Hop with Stampers with an Attitude


Welcome to November's Stampers with an Attitude Blog Hop.    Who is the Stampers with an Attitude?  It is the Close to My Heart team lead by my fabulous upline, Kimberly Moss. This month I am following  {Jen Patrick.}  

This month we are featuring our Christmas paper called White Pines.  Our blog hop is a circular hop.  You just click on the link to the next blog at the bottom of this post and go visit the next blog.  If you get lost, I have all of the participating blogs listed at the bottom of my post.  Hope you enjoy seeing what our team has made for you.

I am in the process of making my Christmas Cards.  I saw a card pattern on Pinterest that I loved and used the stamp in the White Pines Scrapbooking Workshop on the Go to make this card.  I also used our new Artistry Cricut Collection to cut out the shapes.  I added a little gold embossing powder to the stamped bow and voila.  Here is my card.




I want to thank you for visiting my blog.  The next very talented artist for you to visit on our blog hop is {Sheila Bennett}.

    Close to My Heart Simply Fundamental Blog Hop


    Welcome to the Close to My Heart 
    Simply Fundamental Blog Hop




    This hop I am following {Wendy Kessler's Blog.}   We have almost 30 Close to My Heart Consultants participating in our Close to My Heart Simply Fundamentals Blog Hop.   If you lose your place while traveling through our blog hop, the complete list of participants can be found here.    Thank you for hopping through our Blog Hop.

    Close to My Heart's November Promotion is called Simply Fundamentals.  Look at what you get:




    After you make the cute layouts that come in the Free Workshop Guide (pictured above), you will still have paper left.  I made the cute card pictured in our Annual Inspirations Catalog on page 45, but I used the cup of tea rather than the latte.  I also added a little pocket inside of the card so that could gift a favorite tea bag to go along with the card.

    I made the cards with two different mediums.  One was using our ShinHan markers.





    And the other was using our new watercolors.


    And for the inside I cut out the teapot and the cup from our new Cricut Artistry Collection.


    Thank you for visiting my blog.

    By the way, I would love for you to leave me a comment and then please go to our next artist, {Michelle Loncar's Blog.}

    Welcome to the November SOTM Blog Hop - Cheers, 2016!


    Welcome to the November Stamp of the Month 
    Blog Hop! 



                                                      
    This month I am following {Sheila Bennett's Blog.}   We have almost 40 Close to My Heart Consultants participating in this month’s Stamp of the Month Blog Hop.   If you lose your place while traveling through our blog hop, the complete list of participants can be found here.      

    The November Stamp of the Month is entitled Cheers, 2016! (S1511) (Set of 17).   Here is a picture of this stamp set:




    Fall has finally arrived in Memphis and I am ready for the beautiful colors and the cooler temperatures.  Close to My Heart has made a beautiful paper pack that brings all of the colors of Fall to your artwork.  It is called Sangria and I used it for my card.

    Here is my card.



    I used an old pattern for my card that I found at PageMaps.com in 2013.



    I am pretty true to the pattern.  I love this sentiment - "Dream Big".  I find it very inspirational and will be making quite a few pieces of artwork with it.  I used the Close to My Heart Artbooking and Art Philosophy Cricut Collections heavily and had fun making this card.  I will list all of the supplies below.

    Did you see that adorable heart tab?  It is from the Cricut Artbooking Cartridge.  Using Design Space for the Cricut Explore, I changed the size ratio for the tab and made it longer and slimmer so that it would fit on my card better.  The white "stitching" is made with a Signo pen and is not real stitching.  I like how it brightens up and "finishes" my card.

    In my supply list below I forgot to include my favorite "tool" that I have been using - our thin 3D Foam tape.  It adds a little dimension but allows you to still mail your card without additional postage.

    The Cheers, 2016! Stamp of the Month Stamp Set can be purchased for $17.95 or if you purchase $50 in CTMH products, you can add this stamp set to your order for an additional $5.  This stamp set is only available between November 1 – November 30, 2015. 

    Thank you for visiting my blog.  I would love for you to show me a little love by leaving me a comment and then please go to our next artist, {Catherine Nowak's Blog} and see what she has made with this adorable stamp set.

    You can purchase this stamp set as well as any of the supplies listed below on my website.
