I decided to create a gift bag for a wine bottle.
I used what I had - really wished I had the Bloom With Grace, I love that paper.! Though the "Mix In" is so versatile, I think it worked great.  I just cut the paper to fit around the bottle creating a cylinder.  I  also cut a circle about a good quarter inch larger than the circumference so I could cut small tabs (1/4 inch or smaller) around the circle to glue inside the bottom of the cylinder.  The top of the card is Kraft paper and embossed it with the new Wood Panel Embossing Folder. found in the core products catalog pg.   I also used Oh, Hay There (18 stamps), the cute little Mini Envelope TC a combination of the new Operation Smile stamp set Every Bit of Wonderful (19 stamps) and $7 goes to help provide surgeries to repair cleft lips and palates for children around the world. 
The card pattern is found on pg. 6 of "Make if From your Heart" Vol 4" pattern # 1 in the how-to book.

September SOTM Blog Hop - Here for the Memories

We will be featuring September's SOTM, which is "Here for the Memories", an amazing set of 13 stamps!!  It will be fun to see the crafting inspiration found on this hop.  
If you came here from Haley Dyer's blog you are on the right path!  The blog hop is a complete circle, so you can start here and work your way all around.  If you get lost along the way, you'll find the list of participating consultants on Melinda's Blog: HERE

Here we go!
Since my crafting focus has been mostly paper crafting, home decor, and cards this stamp set was a big challenge.  I really wanted to try out my new die-cut - for the waterfall card. However, at first, I didn't think it was going to be possible with these scrapbooking stamps. Though with some masking of the word "scrapbooking",  I think this card works great to celebrate my grandson's 9th birthday. 






Paper used:  Wood Grain Paper Pack
#9 die-cut Block Numbers
with Tri-Blend markers: Light Green (Medium)
Earth Brown (Dark).
Stamps: Every Bit of Wonderful: "You make my heart happy."
I found the Sentiments "Happy Birthday" and "It's you Special Day" on the "You Own Kind of Wonderful" stamp set pictured on the CTMH website for the Seasons and Nature Stamps, though apparently are no longer available. 
Now "Hop" on over to Miss Carrie's Creations to see her inspiring work!  Be sure to visit all the consultants at their blogs to get some great crafting ideas!  Please leave a comment, we love your encouragement.  Remember, the September SOTM is only available until September 30!  You can get this set for only $5 with a qualifying order. Contact your CTMH Consultant (or click here) for more information.
