Candy Cane Alphabet CTMH SOTM Blog Hop

Welcome to the December 2018 SOTM Blog Hop featuring the stamp set Candy Cane Alphabet. This month there are approximately 15 Consultants sharing projects they created with the CTMH Stamp Of The Month. We try to keep our blog hop easy: just keep clicking on the link to the next blog (typically near the bottom of the post) to visit the next post. Our blog hop is a circle so visiting the next blog will take you back to where you started.

You should have arrived here from ***Snips, Snaps, and Scraps by Kathy Burrows***. If you get lost along the way, Melinda Everitt keeps a list of participants on her blog at If You Bling It.

Because it is getting closer to the time to mail Christmas cards, I kept my card simple so it could quickly be reproduced. It would be even faster with a second SOTM set so you would not have to go back to stamp the "R" a second time. I stamped directly on the card base, but you could cut a 4¼" × 1¼" strip of White Daisy. I brushed the Clear Shimmer Brush on the die cut word Christmas and added Silver Glitter Gems.

Before you head to ***Judy Faye Garner's Judy Faye's Place***, the supplies I used to create my project are listed below.

All supplies are from Close To My Heart except where noted:

• My Acrylix™ Stamp Sets: Candy Cane Alphabet — December Stamp of the Month (S1812)
• Paper: 'Tis the Season (X7239B)
• Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pads: New England Ivy (Z2835)
• White Cards & Envelopes Value Pack (X254)
• Cricut® Collection: Flower Market Digital Collection/no cartridge (Z3501)
• Merry Christmas – #MD7AF2A – width set to 4" (which makes the height 1.433") – page 45 – Title <Holly>
• embellishments: Shimmer Brush—Clear (Z3293); Silver Glitter Gems (Z4191) 
• Cricut® Explore Air™ 2 (available at Level 3 of Hostess Rewards; see page 4 of Annual Inspirations 2017-2018) 
• Supplies not from Close To My Heart: Tim Holtz Stamp Platform

While I only used my Cricut® Explore Air™ 2 and Design Space to cut "Christmas", I used Design Space to create a sketch for my card.

If you are not already working with a CTMH Independent Consultant, you may purchase all of the supplies I used at my Consultant website.

I love to hear what folks think about the items I create. If you have a little time, please leave a comment letting me know what you think of this idea. I hope you are enjoying the projects created with Candy Cane Alphabet — the December Stamp of the Month. Thank you for hopping with us!
