December SOTM Blog Hop - Thoughtful Flowers

Hello and welcome to CTMH's Stamp of the Month Blog Hop. This week our featured Stamp of the Month is called Thoughtful Flowers.

If you have just joined us you can start here and continue on, as this is a circular hop or if you get lost along the way you can start at the beginning with Melinda's Blog as she has the complete list. If you came here from GINA'S LITTLE CORNER OF STAMPINHEAVEN you are in the right place. Now on to my project: 

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.

Here is a look at all the stamps offered in this set:

New Products Blog Hop - Annual Inspirations

Hello and welcome to CTMH's New Products Blog Hop. This week we are featuring our awesome new Annual Inspirations.

If you have just joined us you can start here and continue on, as this is a circular hop or if you get lost along the way you can start at the beginning with Melinda's Blog as she has the complete list. If you came here from MY CREATIONS WITH MICHELLE you are in the right place. Now on to my project: 

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!
