September - Stamp of the Month

Each month, CTMH releases a special stamp set available for that month only. You can purchase the (Stamp of the Month) SOTM for only $6 when you place an order of $50 or more in Close To My Heart products. Alternatively you may order one or more of this stamp for $21.25.

The September 2016 Stamp of the Month is Blessed Beyond Measure. It has a whopping 19 stamps.

See the red outline around the pumpkin and the maple leaf? It means that those images can be cut by a CTMH Cricut cartridge - specifically Artbooking.

Here is some autumnal artwork prepared by CTMH head office using the stamp set !

Color Dare #116 - Thistle and Sunset

This week at Color My Heart Challenge Blog, the Color Dare #116  is Thistle and Sunset - two of the colours featured in the Scaredy Cat paper pack.

I was invited over to give a Halloween-themed workshop on the weekend and was asked to make it "cheerful". That was a challenge - but these colours and the Scaredy Cat paper is perfect for that!

So we made this card.

Scaredy Cat Pumpkin

For the front

I stamped the pumpkin stamp from the August of SOTM onto a Colonial paper circle, distressed in thistle ink and put on a scalloped circle in Sunset. Underneath, I put the zip strip with bats from the Scaredy Cat paper across. I then matted a rectangular piece of Scaredy Cat paper onto Thistle.
