Slimline Celebration Blog Hop...

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 chose to make a card using the Slimline Sentiments, Fishy Greetings + Thin Cuts, and the Circle Cluster Thin Cuts (I foresee using these over and over and over again...even for Scrapbooking Layouts)...

--------------------------------------------------

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...

NEW Product Blog Hop - September/October Idea Book...

Welcome to the NEW September/October Catalog Blog Hop showing you products out of this catalog.

If you've come from Becca-Expressions, you're on the right track. Keep hopping around until you get back to where you started. If you're starting here, WELCOME!

We have LOTS of new products in this September/October Catalog but my FAVORITE has to be the Pumpkin Spice collection. Now, it's no secret I am NOT A PUMPKIN SPICE FLAVOR fan but this collection of paper, stamps, sequins, etc. has be wanting to start a fire, break out the scented candles and warm blankets...here's a card saying all the things I'm looking forward to...

------------------------------------------------------------

I literally used almost every pumpkin-related stamp set for this card and I'm not even sorry for it...lol. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------

For the leaves from the Autumn is Calling Stamp Set, I used Shortbread, Peach, Papaya, and Harbour Ink and used the "rock and roll" technique...

-------------------------------------------------------

And of course I had to finish off the inside with a super simple sentiment from the Pumpkin Spice - Cardmaking Stamp Set...

NEW Core Product Blog Hop...

Welcome to the NEW CORE CATALOG BLOG HOP where you will hop from blog to blog to see some NEW PRODUCTS and how we used them!

There are 14 CTMH Makers participating so it shouldn't take you long to be inspired! If you're coming from the VERY TALENTED Becca's Becca-Expressions Blog, you're on the right track...keep hopping around until you get back to where you started. If you're starting here, WELCOME!

The NEW hot trend in this Core Catalog is definitely SLIMLINE cards and THIN CUTS so I chose to marry the two and bring you this card. I used the As You Grow collection which is heavily baby-themed BUT as you can tell by this card, there's no baby theme in sight. And the flowers come from the NEW Layered Flowers Thin Cuts...I bet you'll will be seeing a LOT of this set in the coming year...

------------------------------------------------------

The tiny Wood Flowers are also from the Core Catalog so they'll be here for a FULL YEAR...and that "thank you" comes from the For All Occasions Stamp Set (it's FULL of sentiments 'for all occasions')

Thanks for stopping by! Head on over to Haley Dyer, The Inky-Scrapper for MORE inspiration!

Grateful for this Life SOTM Blog Hop...

HAPPY SEPTEMBER 1ST!!! As you are reading this, I am trying to enjoy the last bits of Summer before all things Pumpkin Spice take over (don't get me wrong...I love the COLORS but as far as flavor, I'm more of a Peppermint kind of gal).

I am joining some CTMH Makers to bring you a Blog Hop featuring nothing but the GRATEFUL FOR THIS LIFE Stamp of the Month (not sure what a SOTM is...check out this link to find out how to get for FREE). If you've come from the Becca's Expressions Blog, you're on the right track...keep hopping until you get back to where you started. If you're starting here, WELCOME!

If you haven't seen the NEW 2021-2022 Core Catalog, you are MISSING OUT!!! You can view it {here} and even get a FREE copy with your first order. 

The NEW Core Catalog has lots of Slimline cards so I decided to make one using the Pumpkin Spice collection. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Did you know that in our catalogs, CTMH offers tips and tricks for some of the artwork...that's where I got the idea to do an ombre of sorts using Peach and Papaya (NEW COLOR) Exclusive Inks...and how about those NEW Autumn Loose Sequins 💕

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I kept the inside simple by adding a couple of strips of the same patterned paper I used on the front and then stamped one of the SOTM sentiments using OUR NEW HARBOUR COLOR (my FAVORITE, I think)...
