August 2015 Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Welcome to my blog. This Blog Hop is a circle of around 50 consultants.  You probably arrived here from Lori's blog.    Isn't everyone's work amazing?  I love it.

I  used the August SOTM "Framed" as the finishing touch on my first attempts at the Bokeh technique.  This is done by putting watercolors onto White watercolor paper. (Coming in new Idea Book Sept. 1).  Once they dry, you add circles using White Daisy Pigment Ink (Z2163).  I made a stencil by cutting a variety of circles into cardstock and then rubbing the ink through them.  [There are many videos on this technique on YouTube.]   After dry, I cut them down to 5"x3.75".  They are matted onto New England Ivy Cardstock (1282),  Lagoon Cardstock (X5635), and Gypsy Cardstock (X 5757).  The mats are all centered on 4.25"x5.5" White Daisy Cards and Envelopes Value Pack (X254).

The Sentiments on each card were cut from the newest CTMH Cricut Cartridge called Artistry. There are images that match our stamps exactly.  You can tell which stamps have corresponding cuts by the red outline on the stamp image in the idea book.

 

Now please hop on over to Jean's blog and see what she has in store for you. This Blog Hop is a circle, so as you move from blog to blog, you'll see some nice artwork and eventually end up back where you began.

Artbooking in August - Week 2

 


Welcome to Week 2 of the Artbooking in August Blog Hop.  Here you will be inspired to use the newest CTMH Artbooking Cricut Bundle to create some awesome artwork.  You should have hopped over from Kimberly's Blog. 

For my second project, I made this adorable layout.  It was made using the Laughling Lola paper pack, compliments, and embellishments.  When I put these pages into my Album, I'm going to put the owl on the outside of the page protector using a spring wobble. This way when someone looks through the album, when they get to this page, the owl will dance.  

Now, "Hop" on over to Deb's Blog and see what amazing artwork she has created to inspire you.

Remember to come back next week for the next project we have created for you to enjoy.

CTMH Artbooking Cricut Cartridge

Have you heard all about this new cartridge?  It is awesome.  It has features that can cut pieces to coordinate on a scrapbook layout. You don't have to worry about sizes to make all your pieces coordinate and have a layout that is visually balanced.  Just use your relative dial size and all pieces will work together.

Like mini albums?  There are so many different kinds of mini album pages on this cartridge you'll never make the same book twice.

There are phrases galore and an exclusive font.
