The Punny Pals Kit comes with everything you need to make these 3x3 cards...instructions included.

A selection of samples from the kit
A tip for completing the triangle pattern and having it straight and square!!! but still triangles! The instructions suggest cutting the triangles so you have 4 pieces. If you leave 1 as the original square and add 2 triangles to the square it is easier to get the angles all square. I made many 'Hoppy Birthday' cards as I am a Hopper and I just need these.


One of my clever team members Britt made this really cute regular size card. They go with any other images as well. You just need this set for anything.

Add a Santa hat and you have so many critters for your Christmas cards


I am sure there will some amazing Christmas ideas as you move through this blog hop but this one is another cute idea made by a team member Heather. I will get better images that do it justice...but I am sure you can get a glimpse of the idea.

Be sure to purchase these products before they run out and be part of an event with your consultant

CTMH October "Christmas Tunes" SOTM Australasian Blog Hop

Hello and welcome aboard our 'Christmas Tunes' S1710 exclusive Stamp Of the Month, Australasian Close to My Heart Blog Hop. If you have arrived here from Vandra's Virtual CTMH Classroom 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.
  This hop is a circle so keep clicking the link at the end of each post.


October's 2017 Stamp of the Month S1710.....'Christmas Tunes'......  is available exclusively throughout October 2017 only.... for just $27 or for $7.50 when you spend $75. There are 6  individual stamps in this set with Christmas themed images that will create beautiful artwork. Are you ready to start your Christmas cards?  This stamp set has so many possibilities so check out all the posts for loads of ideas for cards and scrapbook pages.





The large images have lots of details and would look great as embossed images in Gold, Silver, white or what ever colour you fancy for Christmas. I went with simple stamping of the images but played with the sponges for a background. Using a sponge and white cardstock along with glacier ink and Sapphire ink....distress the background using the multipurpose mat and our sponges. I stamped the star from the tree in versa mark ink and clear embossing powder before sponging. Glacier ink was used to cover the whole card and then Sapphire ink to darken the top section and create a starry night. the wreath shape is stamped in Sapphire and cut out and the bow is stamped directly onto the card. The stamped piece is mounted on Silver glitter paper....difficult to see.....and the stars have clear shimmer pen on them so they shine.



Another sample using the Christmas Tree image


ENJOY!!

CTMH's wonderful products .....'Falling for You'......  are available exclusively throughout the duration of our Holiday Expressions Catalogue only or while supplies last....  The paper pack is beautiful with great colour combinations and beautiful patterns. There is a card kit, Scrapbooking kit and matching stamp sets too. I focused on the cardmaking stamp set with matching thincuts. I just love leaves and all the Autumn colours. We don't experience many autumn colours here in Perth Australia but I do love them.There are 

7 individual image stamps in this set and 7 accompanying sentiments.....so they are just wonderful and can be added to any project. This stamp set and paper has so many possibilities so check out all the posts for loads of ideas for cards and scrapbook pages.

Sample from the cardmaking kit


The basics fundamentals papers and inks were used to make a simple generic card with neutral tones and no sentiment....make it your own!

Just stamp and colour!

Stamping the images onto a masked section of white cardstock provided a great canvas to create. I stamped with Espresso ink and coloured in using the Shin Han markers. The artwork is mounted on black cardstock and then on the patterned leaf sheet from the 'Falling for you' paper pack. I like this!...even if I do say so myself.
