January–February 2021 New Product Blog Hop

Welcome to the Close To My Heart New Product Blog Hop brought to you from same the group of CTMH Makers who bring you the Stamp Of The Month Blog Hop. Today we are featuring projects created with products found in the new CTMH January–February 2021 catalog.

We have just shy of 20 CTMH Makers sharing their creations on this hop. If you just happened upon my post, clicking the link to the next blog (often found near the bottom of the page) will take you full circle.

I needed a few more Thank You cards, so I used items from the Happiness Lives Here collection with the January 2021 SOTM Every Thank You.

With a stamp from the January 2021 SOTM, I stamped on Blue Belle cardstock using Blue Belle ink to create a background. After applying the Blue Belle piece to the card front, I framed it with a skinny strip (⅛ inch) of Blue Belle Shimmer Paper. I used another strip (about ¼ inch wide) of Peach cardstock and stamped it with one of the border stamps in Happiness Lives Here—Cardmaking to create a faux Zip Strip.

On this card I created a background using a stamp from the January 2021 SOTM stamping with VersaMark™ Ink and embossing with Clear Super Fine Embossing Powder. Again I created a faux Zip Strip using Peach cardstock and ink and a border stamp from Happiness Lives Here—Cardmaking.

Here's a close-up of the clear embossed background stamping and the stamped strip.

I've always thought blue and yellow look great together so I came up with this card.

I stamped Blue Belle cardstock using White Daisy Pigment ink and embossed with White Super Fine Embossing Powder. I added strips of the Happiness Lives Here Canary paper to the edges.
