Thank You card Using CTMH Brushed Paper and CTMH Sept Stamp of The Month "Family Is Forever"

Hello fellow crafters.  I hope you are doing well.  I decided to create Thank you cards this week; so I created a clean and simple card using CTMH Brushed Paper and CTMH September Stamp of The Month "Family Is Forever".  I love this paper and the tree stamp.  My daughter sketched and painted a similar tree with owls; on her youngest daughters wall for her birthday.  It is gorgeous and it is huge.  Everything turned out so cute.  She seems to be the gifted one for drawing in our family.

One of the great things about this stamp set is you can get it for only $5 with a purchase of $50 for the month of September only.  Be sure to check out the September special down below as well.  It is a free set of 30 stamps for FREE with a purchase of $30 in stamps from the current Idea book.

Birthday Card Using Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge and AP Celebration Stamp Set With CTMH Markers

Good morning to all my fellow bloggers/creators.  It remains fairly warm here in Southern California; but it is cooler than it was a few weeks ago.  It is hard to believe it is fall when the weather is this warm; but the leaves are changing so it must be fall.

 

I am very excited to share my card with you that I created for Tammy's Scrapin Corner .  I was chosen to be a Guest Designer on her blog using a fall theme.  I feel honored to be a part of such a creative team; even for just one day.  Be sure to check out all the wonderful creations from the rest of the team and enter your project as well. 

 

I used a digital stamp from QKR Stampede; one of the sponsors this week.  Drop by and check out their cute digi and rubber stamps.  You will find this one under Autumn and Scarecrow.  I am in love with scarecrows right now; as many other people.  They are everywhere -  in the stores, in yards, on cards and all kinds of other projects.  I am planning on giving this card to one of my grandsons on his birthday.  I think he will love it!!

 

I used CTMH new markers and I love them!!  They are so easy to use.  I had to use a few Copic markers for my browns and skin tones; as CTMH Basic colors are not available at this time.  I can't wait to have the complete set.  I love how they coordinate with the ink, cardstock and paper packets.  There are two in a pack with one either lighter or darker than the regular color.  You can see them on page 9 of our Autumn/Winter Idea Book with the cardstock and ink pads.

Birthday Card for Male Using Cricut Artiste

Hello everyone.  We finally got a little rain last Thursday; but not enough.  I never heard any thunder; which I was looking forward to.  It is sunny and getting warm again in Southern California.  I am ready for fall weather.  I like the cooler weather; but not cold.  I hope everyone is enjoying whatever your temperatures are right now.  It is a lovely time of the year no matter where you are.  I love the changing of the leaves.  Nature is so awesome!! 

 

I have been wanting to try the new CTMH alcohol based markers and finally got my chance.  I fell in love with this September Stamp of the Month; so I finally got mine and found time to use it.  I used the new markers and I love them.  They are so easy to work with and such pretty colors.  I love that I can match the marker colors to the ink and to the cardstock where everything coordinates so well together.  I was very happy with the way this turned out.  I made this for my brother-in-law; so I hope he likes it.  I hope you enjoy it as well.

I used a card created by Brenda Rose, a CTMH consultant as my guide for creating and coloring this card.  Thanks so much Brenda for the inspiration.
