September Stamp of the Month - Thriller

Welcome and thanks for joining us this month for the September Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!! 

This month we have close to 70 Close To My Heart Consultants sharing their creations using this month's SOTM and other great CTMH products on their blogs. This is simple to do - just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move to the next one!

If you have come here from Pamela's Blog, you are on the right path if not that is ok.  The Blog hop does make a full circle and you can start from here.


If a link is broken or you get lost go to Helen's Blog and continue on your journey with the link listed there.   She has a list of all the participants on her blog.


Here we go!

This 4 1/2" circle card was made using the Wishes pattern "Simple Statement" found on pg. 11.  I used black cardstock and swiped it across my White Daisy ink.  I did heat set the white ink.  I used Liquid Glass on the bird, pumpkin and the bats. 



Now "Hop" on over to Shannon's Blog to see her work!
Be sure to visit all the Consultants at their Blogs to get some great crafting ideas and other fun ideas!

Happy Birthday!!

Here is a card that I made for my sister in laws birthday.  I hope that she likes it.

I used the Originals pattern "Background Bar" on pg. 75.  I used a paper from the Topstitch paper pack.  I used Crystal Blue and Chocolate Cardstock.  The image is a digital image from the Greeting Farm.  This is Cupcake Anya.  I thought that she would be perfect for this card.  The ribbon is Hollyhock twill ribbon.  I colored Anya in with my Copic Markers.  I love how you can blend with these markers.



Enjoy!

Congratulations

I made these cards to send to my Sister & Brother in Law who went to South Korea to pick up their new son.  I am so happy for them.  They are bringing their little boy home in a few days.

Here is the card I made for the new mom!

I used the Wishes pattern on pg. 35 called Down the Middle.  I made this a clear card.  I used the stamp set Ms. On the Go.  The polka dotted paper is from the Jingle pagper pack.  I used Juniper and blush cardstock.  I colored the image in with my copic markers.  The stroller was colored with Close to my Heart's Juniper marker.   The Congratulations is stamped with black Staz-On.




Here is the card that I am sending to the new dad!

I used the Wishes pattern Collage on pg. 97.  I used a retired paper pack so I am not even going to mention the name.  The stamp sets are Family Ties-Adult and Family Ties-Children.  I used my Copic markers to color in the images.




Then lastly I made this card for the newest member of the family to welcome him!!
I made this card using the Wishes pattern Long Layers on pg. 81.  I used Desert Sand, Indian Corn Blue and Cocoa Cardstock.  I stamped the Welcome Home in Cocoa and then stamped over it with with my embossing ink and used a clear embossing powder to bring out the stamped color.  The stamp set and the striped paper are retired.  I used 3-d foam tape to pop the bear and the heart off the page.  I used my Copic Markers to color in the bear and heart.




Happy Stampin'!
