One of the things I love about being a CTMH Consultant is the ability to make a difference in the life of a child. For just $240 Operation Smile provides life changing clef palette and clef lip surgeries. A portion of every CTMH stamp set sold goes to Operation Smile. Imgaine giving a mother the gift of her child's smile - so rewarding!

CTMH Pair-a-Phrase Blog Hop
By Helen | August 14, 2011
With National Stamping Month starting…a group of CTMH Consultants joined together to bring you a blog hop of wonderful ideas for using this fabulous stamp set that you can get FREE! When you get $75 worth of CTMH products…can be anything on your wish list or from the While Supplies Last section…you get this stamp set free! It’s two D-size stamp sets packaged in one convenient stamp envelope.
Grab a cup of your favorite beverage, sit back and join us on a journey of amazing things you can do with this stamp set. There are over 40 CTMH Consultants joining in on the fun…that’s a LOT of ideas that YOU can take and duplicate with this fun stamp set. If you arrived here from Wendy’s blog you’re on the right path.
I wanted to show how you can use this for a quick & easy card.
- Cut a 4.25″ x 5.5″ piece of patterned paper from the Sonoma paper pack.
- Cut a 2.5″ x 2.5″ piece of Olive cardstock.
- Cut a 2″ x 2″ piece of Colonial White cardstock.
- Stamp the owl using Cocoa ink.
- Using the Watercolor Pencils and Blending Pen, color in the owl. I used the Chocolate, Brown Bag, Autumn Terracotta and Olive colors. Tip: Color the image putting more color where there are shadows. It’s easy to go back in and add more color if needed.
- Stamp the sentiment using Cocoa ink on a scrap of Bamboo cardstock. Trim close.
- Using Cocoa ink and the Sea Sponge Texture Tool, distress the edges of all papers.
- Assemble as shown.
- Add the ribbon. Tip: The ribbon knot is glued on top of the ribbon across the card. Since this is a quick, easy card, I trimmed the ribbon at the edges instead of wrapping behind the patterned paper.
Materials:
- CTMH Pair-A-Phrase stamp set, the National Stamping Month Campaign
- CTMH Sonoma Level 2 Paper Pack X7143B
- CTMH Cocoa Ink
- CTMH Watercolor Pencils 3505
