Okay so I totally forgot I was taking part in this blog hop until 8pm the night before lol. SOOOOOO I just went back to find some projects I have made recently. Did you know we recently got some new thin cuts to go with some stamp sets from our annual catalog? We got thin cuts for the A1193 Wreath, C1664 Swirly Seashells, D1706 School Kids and B1532 Sweet Birthday.

In this page I used the School Kids stamp set before the thin cuts came out and had to fussy cut these little characters. I am so pumped that the thin cuts came out for this set.

 

Ahhhh love these Swirly Shells! I used Archival black ink first and then painted with the water paints and then I ran them through the Big Shot. I always stamp first and then cut as I have a magnetic board and love the precise cuts!

School Kids Stamp Set & Thin Cuts
Swirly Shells Stamp Set & Thin Cuts
Enchantment Fundamental Paper Pack

It has been awhile since I have participated in a Blog Hop. I've been just way too busy lately. I originally planned on making a beautiful scrapbook page but in the end I once again had no time. :( 

Oh well. Here is a card I made using the SOTM. I stamped with archival ink and used the waterbrush to paint in the flowers. I know the lighting in the picture is pretty bad but it is honestly beautiful up close. I did a lot of layering and used 3D tape. I plan on painting up a whole sheet of flowers and making a gorgeous layout using the technique. I can't wait to have the TIME! lol.

Did you know we now have Pocket Plus page protectors? It's awesome. They are 1/3 or 1/2 page memory protectors that allow you to add extra photos but still use it as part of your layout. I decided to test them out and absolutely love how it turned out. Something different and unique to add to the pages.

 And here is a closer look at the Pocket Plus pages. As you can see I put the embellishments on the outside of the plastic. Again, something different. I also made tabs for even more fun.

So there are quite a lot of new products in the Annual Inspirations. At a first glance you might feel underwhelmed but fear not! CTMH has a plan! There are are actually lots of possibilities with the new lines and this catalog is meant to be a basic reference book. All the paper in here can be used for year long themes and different varieties of occasions. The new Holiday Expressions that will go live September 1st will have your themed paper packs. :) 

Anyways I started playing a bit with our products and new colors. Before I got my new paper I made this page to showcase the new Adventure palette by using our watercolor paints and mixing to try and get the new colors.

Next I tried out the new Enchantment fundamentals and our new French stamps. Yes, We now carry some translation stamps! It's so exciting!

Here are a couple layouts I made using a wide mix of product to test out the beautiful new heart thin cuts! I absolutely LOVE these hearts! Notice that beautiful blue-green color? It's our color of the year, called Sea Glass. It is a stand alone color that doesn't fit into any palette but is beautiful on it's own!
