May–June 2021 New Product Blog Hop

Welcome to the Close To My Heart May–June New Product Blog Hop. This hop is 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 May–June 2021 catalog.

We have just shy of 20 CTMH Makers sharing their creations on this May–June New Product Blog Hop. If you just happened upon my post, hop with us by clicking the link to the next blog (often found near the bottom of the page) until you come back to my page.

CTMH New Product Blog Hop - cover May–June 2021 Catalog

You should have arrived here from ***Michelle Stewart***. If you get lost along the way, Melinda also keeps a list of all blog hop participants on her blog at If You Bling It.

For our May–June Blog Hop I created this card.

card created with Hillside Garden & Hillside Garden Cardmaking Workshop Stamp Set

I recently needed a sympathy card and I thought this is a sweet paper collection to create with and the bouquet and sentiment from the Hillside Cottage Cardmaking Workshop were great options for the card. It is hard to see in the photo, but the two strips of Paprika framing the Flamingo cardstock were covered with Clear Shimmer Brush to create a glitter-like paper embellishment. I used the rock and roll technique on most of the stamps.

I carried the Paprika cardstock to the inside to frame the sentiment.

When a new catalog is released, the home office has an event for Makers to showcase the art in the catalog and has projects Makers can create with staff from the home office. Below are the cards from our recent event. On the left are the cards exactly as created from the guide and on the right are some changes I made, though some are very simple changes.
