What A Hoot SOTM Blog Hop - August/14



Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop featuring August's SOTM, What a Hoot, a set of 17 stamps.  This is the first hop featuring product from the newest Close To My Heart catalogue, Annual Inspirations. If you have come here from the creative Melinda's 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 here.

This month we have approximately 67 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've decided to use this stamp set to create treats for my kids classes for Halloween 'Owloween.  This fall I have 2 kids in school, and need to make twice as many goodies.  The treat tube was fun to put together, and I had some of the boxes from a previous campaign and scanned one and created my own file in Explore to cut the box out to hold the tube.  It is filled with purple and black jelly beans.  I used Black Pigment Ink to stamp all the images and heat set them before colouring.  I used the ShinHan Touch Twin Markers to colour them in.  The second treat is a bag topper, which is just a 3x5 piece of White Daisy CS scored at 2.5" and folded over and stapled to the bag.

Marker colours used:
Warm Grey WG7
Warm Grey WG4
Marigold YR24
G46 Vivid Green
P83 Lavender


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