Thank you for joining us for December's Technique Blog Hop where we are featuring ACCENTS OF WHITE! If you know me, you KNOW how much I love our White Gel Pens so you'll be seeing a little bit of those from me. BUT FIRST, let's take a look at where you're at and where you're going.
If you have come here from Haley's Blog, you're on the right track...keep hopping around until you've seen all eight blogs. If you're starting here, WELCOME!
I have a comparison of sorts to share with you to show you just how much our White Gel Pens make an impact! This is a card I made for a blog hop a few weeks ago featuring the Deck the Palms Special.
-----------------------------------------------
Now...look at it with the accents of White Gel Pen drawn along some of the borders of the leaves...quite a difference, don't you think!?!
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you are inspired!
Your next stop is Tamara's Blog...hop on over and see what she has to share!

Here's a look at my teeny-tiny 3x3 card. I used one of the patterns from the Deck the Palms Paper Pack and then stamped one of the owls front and center of the card. The inside reads "you're a hoot"...
Thanks for stopping by! Don't forget that you can only get this stamp set during the month of December AND you can get it for FREE with a qualifying purchase if you're one of my VIPs...find out more HERE!
For the majority of December, I will be playing along with some COAPA cutfiles and documenting the process over on my YouTube Channel.

A handmade, heartfelt card can brighten anyone’s day no matter the occasion (or lack thereof ) and we’ve got three for you today, all made from the same pattern!
Making its original debut in our Laughing Lola Workshops on the Go® cardmaking guide years ago, we paired this timeless pattern with several different paper designs and stamp sets to create multiple unique cards, each with their own distinct look and flair!
For our last card, we paired the flat pattern with the Candid Moments paper packet and Cardmaking stamp and Thin Cuts to create an “any occasion,” “any time,” card that will still dazzle its recipient. This card uses the same flat pattern as the previous two, we just changed it up a bit by rotated it 90 degrees!
With most card patterns, it’s possible to get an entirely different look simply by rotating them. When you throw different paper designs and color palettes in the mix, the possibilities for creativity increase exponentially!
Cards made from this Laughing Lola pattern are incredibly easy to put together, come together quickly, and still look great! Not only is this card pattern easy to put together and customize, but it’s also a great pattern to use if you’re looking to make a lot of cards in one sitting.
For even more timeless cardmaking patterns, check out our cardmaking how-to book, Make It from Your Heart™ volume 4. If you love the free patterns on the blog, you’re sure to be blown away by the beautiful, one-of-a-kind, patterns in this book!

Thank you for joining us on this lovely Thursday evening. We have a LOT of NEW Product to show you from the Nov-Dec 2021 Catalog from CTMH.
If you are coming here from Show and Tell with Michelle, you're on the right track! Keep hopping around until you've seen all nine CTMH Makers. If you're starting here, WELCOME!
If you know me and my family then you could've guessed that I would be using Candid Moments since my babies are featured on Page 9 of the Nov-Dec Catalog. In fact...I made that layout (tweaked just a bit) and also used the Candid Moments Scrapbooking Workshop Kit to make three more two-page layouts to feature more photos from our beach trip a couple of years ago.
and...here are the layouts from the Candid Moments Scrapbooking Kit (tweaked a little as well)...if you love the patterned paper I used for the Layout base on this one, it's an EXCLUSIVE to the Candid Moments Scrapbooking Workshop Kit (that's one of the reasons I always buy the kits - to get the EXCLUSIVES...lol)
This layout was inspired by a fellow-Maker Brenda Rose - I love the circle stencil from Stencil Pack 2 in the top left and bottom right. I also added some Sundance Shimmer Brush splatters to add some shimmer and shine to this layout.
Thank you so much for stopping by! You will now head on over the Haley Dyer, the Inky Scrapper Blog to see what NEW PRODUCT she is sharing!
Remember that this catalog is good through the end of December and we've been selling out of fan-favorites lately so hurry and grab what you want before it's all gone!
Thank you for visiting my blog on this GLORIOUS Monday evening...the Monday before the Monday before Thanksgiving to be exact.

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!! I'm excited to be 8 hours away from a be in my loungewear all day-type of weekend...what about you guys 😍
During the month of November, CTMH is having a special featuring the DECK THE PALMS Collection. This Collection is full of tropic patterns, stamps and embellishments AND ALSO has an option for Christmas-themed Tropics. I don't know about you but sometimes TEXAS in December can mimic the tropics 😂
Not only can you purchase this collection (as a bundle and save money or ala carte) BUT you can also get the PAPER BUNDLE FREE!!! That means that if you sign up to be a CTMH Maker as part of my Stamp, Paper, Scissors Team, you will get the GORGEOUS Patterned Paper + Sticker Sheet AND the FABULOUS Cardstock with that UV Coating!
Let's celebrate National Vanilla Cupcake Day with a CALORIE-FREE cupcake that is SUPER CUTE!
...
We have the CUTEST new Thin Cut that can be found in the Core Catalog...Cupcake Card Thin Cut...AND since it's in the Core Catalog, that means it's around for longer than 2 months (hoping it won't sell out and it will make it all the way around the calendar until August 2022)...
Here's a closeup of that Mocha Glitter Paper I used for the frosting and the Shimmer Trim I used for the sprinkles (if you're wondering an easy way to do that, my process video can be found below)...
Don't you just LOVE all the dimension in the cupcake wrapper - I used the Mix-Ins (Nov-Dec) and the light side of Papaya Cardstock for the 'ridges'...let me tell you - our NEW Adhesive Sheets made this SUPER EASY to adhere down (watch my YouTube video below to see how it's done)...
Can you guys believe that!?!? Well, if you haven't already started your Christmas cards, let us help! I am joining eleven other CTMH Makers to bring you a blog hop featuring Holiday Cards. If you've come from Stefani's Blog, you're on the right track...keep hopping around until you get back to where you started. If you're starting here, WELCOME!
I love the natural feel adding some jute from my stash gives this card. As far as the pops of red from the Patterned Paper - you can see I used zip strips then strategically cut strips from the word B&T and adhered to the back of the open slits I wanted the words to show through...
Thanks for stopping by! This is the end of the hop but if you started somewhere in the middle, you'll want to continue on to the CatScrapbooking Blog to see them all.
Repeat after me...I CANNOT BELIEVE IT'S NOVEMBER...truly!
But...that means HOPEFULLY cooler weather (you're never promised that in Texas) and THIS ADORABLE SOTM from CTMH!
I am joining 10 other CTMH Makers to bring you ideas for the November SOTM - Created to Shine. If you're coming from my friend, Haley Dyer, the Inky Scrapper, you're on the right track. If you're starting here, WELCOME! You'll hop all the way around until you get back to where you started and if you get lost along the way, you can find a complete list at the bottom of this post.
I decided to play on the lightbulb aspect of this card and I pulled out my Distress Oxides to make a watercolor look for the lightbulb "lights"...
Thank you so much for stopping by for the Thin Cuts Blog Hop featuring the lovely Thin Cuts from CTMH.
We have eleven CTMH Makers joining us for this hop so it won't take you long to hop through all the blogs and be inspired! If you're coming from Haley Dyer, the Inky Scrapper's Blog, you're on the right track...keep hopping around until you get back to where you started. If you're starting here, WELCOME!
I chose to use a few Thin Cuts...definitely FAVORITES of mine. I also used the Pumpkin Spice collection.
The inside of the card includes the colors from the front and the "&" from the Slim Alpha Thin Cuts...I then coupled it with the "warm blankets" from the We Love Fall stamp set (a MUST-HAVE if you ask me)...
Thanks so much for stopping by! Your next stop is the lovely Gina Brandstetter! Hop on over to see what she has to share!
It's time to showcase one of my FAVORITE new trends with the NEW CTMH Core Catalog (and you can even find them in the Sept/Oct 2021 Catalog as well)...SLIMLINE CARDS!
I am joining nine other CTMH Makers to bring you a blog hop featuring the SLIMLINE CELEBRATION SPECIAL (going on now through the month of October). It's a short hop so it won't take you long to hop around and leave some love along the way, letting each Maker know what you enjoy about their projects.
If you've come from Gina's Blog, you're on the right track...keep hopping around until you get back to where you started. If you're starting here, WELCOME!
I stacked several layers (7 to be exact) of the Cluster Circle Thin Cuts. Using our NEW ADHESIVE SHEETS made gluing them together SUPER EASY! If you want to know how they work, you can check out THIS VIDEO...if you don't want to watch the whole video, you can skip to minute 8:41...
You can see the dimension here of the circles and that allowed me to add some Lagoon Loose Gems to some of the bubbles, using Liquid Glass. Using my Tri-Blend Markers made coloring these fish super easy too...
And because I believe in decorating the inside of my cards, I used the Slimline Sentiments and some of the small fish images on this tiny strip of Glacier Cardstock that ties the front of the card to the inside...
Thank you for stopping by! Your next stop is Haley Dyer, the Inky Scrapper - head on over and see what she has to share.
) and we’ve got three for you today, all made from the same pattern!
