November SOTM Blog Post- Family Time

Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!



We will be featuring November's SOTM, which is Family Time, a set of 18 stamps.



If you have come here from Darlys' Blog, you are on the right path! The blog hop is a great big circle, so you can start here and work your way all around.

 If you get lost along the way, you’ll find the complete list of participating consultants on Melinda’s Blog.

 This month we have 21 Close To My Heart Consultants sharing their creations using this month's SOTM and other great CTMH products on their blogs. This is simple to do - just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move to the next one! Here we go!

I decided to create a layout that could be used for a variety of different themes. Using the Mix In Papers, this layout could be used for the beach, family photos, Christmas holidays or anything else where I can count my blessings!

This layout is created only using cardstock, the Mix In paper packet and the Stamp of the Month.


I created a banner from Toffee and Sage cardstock, and added the heart accent from the stamp set.



The sentiment was directly stamped from one of the sentiments in Toffee ink, and I added a Sage stamped branch. The polka dot strip is from the Mix In Zip Strip- isn't it cute?



I added a border on the Toffee cardstock by using the stamp set, and the last embellishment was to stamp the flower with Saffron ink with Sage leaves and add some gold embossing powder to accent.



Now "Hop" on over to Miss Carrie's Creations to see her work! Be sure to visit all the Consultants at their Blogs to get some great crafting ideas and other fun ideas!

Remember, the SOTM is only available until the end of November!

Sending you Hugs

I love the new Seasons Mix In paper for adding to the core paper packets, but they are also great for a stand alone patterned paper option.

As soon as I saw the Monochromatic Green Color Dare Challenge and the Foliage Seize The Birthday Challenge I remembered the beautiful Seasons Mix In paper and got to work.

My friend is having her birthday tomorrow and she is having a rough time, so I created this card using her favourite colour- Green. I hope she likes it!



I sponged the sentiment circle so that the contrast wasn't as stark, and added some second generation stamped leaves to the 3D flower.

I matted the entire piece of patterned paper on green cardstock to also add to the soft look of the card with minimal contrast, so that the sentiment would really stand out.

I created the sentiment by masking off parts of a large sentiment stamp and stamping the words I wanted in New England Ivy Ink.

Thank you for stopping by today!
