CTMH Australasian These Are My People Blog Hop


Hi & welcome to our CTMH Australasian These Are My People Blog Hop! If you arrived from Shaunna's blog, you are on the right track. If you arrived by accident, I hope you will continue to hop around with us!

At Close To My Heart, we strive to help you preserve the moments that matter most, with the people that matter most. The These Are My People collection is designed to help you commemorate and celebrate treasured moments with your favourite folks. This collection features the These Are My People 6″ × 8″ Cut Above® Kit, along with the These Are My People Workshop Kit.  Available in this collection is the paper pack, coordinating cardstock and an exclusive stamp set! This collection is available from your consultant till the end of April. If you don't have a consultant, (and live in Australia) you can find all the details on my website!

For my layout, I used the These Are My People paper pack along with White Daisy, Black, Carolina, Green Apple & Peach cardstock; Everyday Moments Cricut Collection; CC3205 - Love These People stamp set; Intense Black ink pad; Watercolour Pencils; Silver Embellishing Thread; Thin 3D Foam Tape; Black Shimmer Pen; Peach Shimmer Pen. The splatters on the page were created using the Black & Peach Shimmer Pens - I just squeezed the liquid down into the barrel, then tapped the brush end on my finger to get the splatters - there are a couple of extra large splatters, but that doesn't worry me. 

This card was created using White Daisy & Wisteria cardstock along with the CC3205 - Love These People stamp set - with the images stamped using Intense Black ink pad. I used the retired Stitched Circles Embossing Folder to add some interest to the White Daisy cardstock background. The flowers were coloured with Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend Markers. The tags were cut using the Fancy Tags Thin Cuts (retired) and the circle under the flower from the Stitched Circles Thin Cuts. I added some White & Gold Ribbon & Gold Embellishing Thread. I added dimension using 3D Foam Tape.

This card was Pinterest Inspired & created using White Daisy cardstock, These Are My People paper pack, A1244 - A Little Sentiment stamp set, Sapphire ink pad, Sapphire Crochet Thread, 3D Foam Tape and my my Cricut Explore and Design Space. 


I hope you will leave a comment before continuing on our blog hop to see what Maz has created.

S2003 - Family Legacy CTMH Australasian Stamp of the Month Blog Hop


Hi & welcome to our S2003 - Family Heritage CTMH Australasian Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! If you arrived from Shaunna's blog, you are on the right track. If you arrived by accident, I hope you will hop around to see what everyone has created!

This stamp set pairs beautifully with the featured paper collection for this month - Yesterday and Tomorrow! If you have heritage photos you want to get into your albums, then this collection is perfect! But it can also be used for much more!

My page features a photo (which I need to print a little larger) taken in December last year! (And it is similar to the one created by the art department at CTMH and was the inspiration for my page). I used Espresso, French Vanilla & Peach cardstock, Yesterday & Tomorrow paper pack, S2003 - Family Legacy stamp set, Espresso ink pad & Watercolour Pencils to create my page. 


My card was created using French Vanilla cardstock, Yesterday & Tomorrow paper pack, S2003 - Family Legacy stamp set, C1828 - Yesterday & Today stamp set, Espresso ink pad & White Burlap Ribbon. 

The S2003 - Family Legacy Stamp of the Month is only available this month - 31st March 2020 for $34.00 or for just $9.00 with a qualifying order of $80.00. Get yours today from your consultant, or if you don't have a consultant and live in Australia, you can find all the details on my website under the 'Special's tab.

I would love you to leave a comment before you continue on the blog hop. Your next stop is Doris. Check out projects she has to share with us!

Come back soon to see what is NEW and what I have been creating.
