CTMH Australasian May Stamp of the Month S1605 "Celebrate with Cake" Blog Hop

May Stamp of the Month - S1605 "Celebrate with Cake" 
S1605 Celebrate with Cake
Hello and welcome aboard our CTMH Australasian May Stamp of the Month S1605 "Celebrate with Cake" Blog Hop

If you have arrived here from Georgia O’Shea - Georgia Creates then you are in the right place. 

If you landed here by accident, no problem, please join in by following the link at the end of this post. 

Today I would like to share with you cards created using S1605 Celebrate with Cake, as you will see they really do suit any occasion. The cake, platter, and banner have been stamped using Memento Black Ink, allowed to dry, then coloured using a combination of the Watercolour paints and Watercolour pencils.




 The black cardstock has been cut at 5.25" x 4" and the white cardstock has been cut at 5" x 3.75". When cutting the black or white, I cut the whole sheet into these sizes, saving time in the future when making cards and also it uses up that piece of cardstock, rather than having bits cut out of it.

 As you can see I do double for the black and white per card, preferring to have an insert on the inside of the card, similar to the front.

 Products used to create these cards
Black Cardstock
White Cardstock
Memento Ink
Watercolour Paints
Paint Brushes
Watercolour Pencils
3D Foam Tape
EZ Dot Tape Runner
12" Paper Trimmer
Scissors
All of these products are available to purchase online at Mez's Craft Room Online Shop

 This exclusive Stamp of the Month - S1605 Celebrate with Cake is only available during May.  It can be yours for just $7.50 with a qualifying order of $75 or for $27 if ordered separately from your CTMH consultant.  Contact your CTMH consultant to place an order.



If you do not have a consultant please contact me or place an order here Mez's Craft Room Online Shop

CTMH Australasian Seasonal Expressions 1 Last Chance Blog Hop

CTMH Australasian Seasonal Expressions 1 Last Chance Blog Hop
Hello and welcome aboard our "Seasonal Expressions 1 Last Chance" Australasian Close to My Heart Blog Hop. 

If you have arrived here from Shaunna Richards Passionate About Pages then you are in the right place. 

If you landed here by accident, no problem, please join in by following the link at the end of this post. 

With May just around the corner, and the launch of the new Seasonal Expressions, I wanted to let you know, there are 10 days remaining for you to shop for the beautiful products in the retiring Seasonal Expressions 1

The product I'd like to share is  - C1640 Friend in Me Stamp set [page 18]
Such a lovely stamp set with lovely quotes and beautiful flowers!
The flowers can be stamped onto a Scrapbooking layout as background stamping

or stamped onto white cardstock, coloured using our Watercolour Pencils or Paints and as you will see in my example, the flowers look stunning!
This card I created for a monthly Trading Card Group!
[Trading cards are generally 3.5" x 2.4"]
Love the quote "SISTERS for life, friends forever."

When creating the Trading Cards I begin by doing a couple of different designs until I'm happy with the end result. These are then shared with up to 10 fellow Trading Card peeps.
With the extra card, I mounted it onto a card with black and white base.
 
As the card measures 5.5" x 4.25" the black cardstock is cut 1/4" smaller. 
Black cut at 5.25" x 4"
White cut at 5" x 3.75"

When cutting the black, then white cardstock for the card base, I do a second set, to add to the inside of the card. 
Love how it reflects the front!

All products included in Seasonal Expressions 1 will retire at the end of April. Be sure to contact your CTMH consultant to place an order or visit their Online Shop.

Hello and welcome aboard the
CTMH Australasian "Stampaganza 2016" Blog Hop. 


If you have arrived here from Creating with Kara Davies then you are in the right place. 

If you landed here by accident, no problem, please join in by following the link at the end of this post. 

Today I would like to share with you a creation which features Close To My Heart’s "Stampaganza" Constant Campaign

"Stampaganza 2016" is a great way to stock up on your faourite stamp sets. Buy any two My Acrylix stamp sets at full retail price and get the third stamp set of equal or lesser value FREE! This offer is only available during March, so start submitting your stamp orders as soon as possible and let your Stampaganza 2016 begin!

With so many stamps to choose, I decided on Love Life stamp set D1482 Love Life - $27

Using White Cardstock cut at 5" x 3 3/4" I stamped the swirl starting at the top and centering it on the card, using Memento Black Ink. One of my favorite inks! Using Cranberry Ink, I stamped "happiness lives here" onto the bottom of the card [as well as the stamp number D1482]. 
Using the red hearts to embellish the swirl. Mounted onto black cardstock cut at 5 1/4" x 4", it fits perfectly onto a white daisy card blank from the value pack!
