This month we have approximately 18 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!



For my project I decided that I wanted to create a background paper using the majority of the stamps from the collection.  I paired it with the Mix In Collection and colours from the Mix In Papers.
I used the scallop stitched circle thin cut, the stitched circle thin cut and the rectangle stitched thin cuts on these cards.  I was able to teach this random stamping technique to my customers during a recent virtual crop.  It was well received, and they were so happy to learn about the triangle stamping when creating random stamped backgrounds.


Now "Hop" on over to Michelle Loncar's Blog 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 August SOTM is only available until August 31st!  Contact your CTMH Consultant (or click here) to see how you can get this stamp set at a discount!
