If you came here from [Miss Carrie's Creations] you are in the right place. Now on to my project:

I created this layout using the workshop guide created by Deb Killian as inspiration. I had loved the idea of creating little portholes using our circle thin cuts! The title was created using our Block Alphabet thin cut set! Which, by the way is on sale for a GREAT deal! The regular price is 84$ but this month only you can get it in a bundle with the block numbers (that's where the @ came from) for only 1.50$ more!!!! What a deal!

To make the portholes I placed the smaller circle inside the larger circle and ran it through the Big Shot machine. I then used the middle circle as embellishments on the page. I really love this layout!

Make Waves Workshop Your Way
Block Alphabet Thin Cuts

If you came here from SHEILA'S STAMPING STUFF you are in the right place. Now on to my project: 

This is a very simple layout that came with the Dreamin' Big Workshop Your Way instructions. I thought it was perfect for my pictures. But of course the fox in the Some Kinda Wonderful Cardmaking stamp set was so darn cute I just had to add it. I love that CTMH has coordinating stamp set with a thin cuts package. Amazing. This layout was simple, quick and beautiful. 

I stamped the fox with our archival black ink and then used our amazing waterpaints and brushes to color it in. Then I just went over the outline of the fox with our journaling pen just to make the image a bit sharper. Hope you like it.

This set is so versatile you can add the cute little characters to pretty much everything. Love it. Don't forget you can get it at 25% off this month!

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

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!

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!

CTMH's Technique Blog Hop - Thin Cuts

Hello and welcome to CTMH's Technique Blog Hop. This week our featured technique is using the CTMH Thin Cuts. 

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 Melissa's Blog as she has the complete list. If you came here from CATSCRAPBOOKING you are in the right place. Now on to my project:

Our new thin cuts are fun, coordinate with a stamp set and easy to use it. So easy a baby could do it:

Sorry, I couldn't resist. When I first got my thin cuts I was testing them out and my one year old wanted to try lol.   

Ok so for my project I decided to use the "My Anchor" Stamp set and Thin Cuts. I didn't use much of the thin cuts on this particular project but I still had fun doing this page.The banner thin cut is especially useful to have as it is very versatile. You don't NEED to stamp the coordinating image, you can also write on there or leave it blank and use as an embellishment.

I prefer to stamp/emboss/paint/etc on my paper BEFORE cutting the image with my Big Shot. I had purchased a magnetic board so that cutting out the images is a piece of cake. They don't slide anywhere and center perfectly around my stamped image. It seems if I cut first and then stamp I have more of a chance to mess up or have it go crooked. In that sense you are also dealing with smaller pieces.

For this page I did some heat embossing. The stamped image at the bottom of the page I stamped the black part first with versamark ink. I put scotch tape over the love part when stamping and then removed it before stamping. Then I heated the powder. Then I repeated the process with the white part. Any questions I'll be happy to answer!

Next I decided to make a page using the Springtime Wishes Thin Cuts on a page. I used it to make the flowers on the page as embellishments. This shows you don't always need to pair up the thin cuts with their coordinating stamp sets.

 
Special Note: We have currently SOLD OUT of the Springtime Wishes Thin Cuts and are running low on the Spring Critters so hurry up and buy before it's too late!
