January SOTM - Sweet Little Things Blog Hop



 Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! I hope you will hop along with us and check out all of the amazing artwork created using the January SOTM, called Sweet Little Things it is a set of  10 stamps.


 
This set is only available for the month of January.  It is $25.75 or you can get it for $6.75 with a $60 order.  Or for free with a $60 order if you are a VIP customer.)


If you arrived here from My Heartfelt Sentiments, then you are in the right spot.  The blog hop is a big circle, so you can start here and work your way around.  If you get lost along the way, Melinda's Blog has a complete list of all the participating consultants.  

 This month we have around 11 Close To My Heart Makers/Consultants sharing their creations using this month's SOTM and other great CTMH products on their blogs. 

Can you believe that today is the beginning of a new year?  Well with a new year, I have set some creative goals and one of them is to get photos onto my layouts and to get all these photos that I have printed scrapbooked.  So, what started out to be a card turned into a double page layout of my oldest.  This stamp set is perfect for so many things and 1 of those things is recognizing the special people or moments in life.  I will be adding my journaling of these special things to the squares with the flower border.  My almost 15 year old would appreciate not everyone seeing it.  LOL.


I used the new Sweet as Honey paper collection as well as the Sweet as Honey Digital Art collection to create this layout.  I cut the hexagons & the stencil for the inked background with the Digital Art collection.  So, if you have a machine that can cut SVGs you are good to go with this collection.  I love to use our how to books and used pattern 4 from the Make It From Your Heart Vol. 1 book.


I stamped the cute little mouse in Intense Black ink and then used Avocado, Sundance, Mink ink pads and a water brush to colour with.  I stenciled on Mink Cardstock & inked the edges with the Mink ink pad and added doodle lines with the .03 black journaling pen.  The sentiments were stamped in the Sundance ink.  I love the strips of the Black Ore paper.  The title is cut in black cardstock using the New Slim Alphabet Thin cuts.  I also added some bitty sparkles and clear sparkles. 

Here is the Process video for how I created this layout.




I hope you enjoyed this layout and I would love to hear what you think of it.

Now "Hop" on over to Haley Dyer's Blog  to see what she has created! Be sure to visit all the Consultants at their Blogs to get some great crafting ideas and other fun ideas! Remember, the January SOTM is only available until the 31th!  Contact your CTMH Consultant (or click here) to see how you can get this stamp set at a discount!  If you are in Canada and don't have a consultant I would be happy to help you.

Blessings,  Kim

    1. Thank you. I love to try to show the SOTM in a way that the idea book doesn't. Sometimes people get it stuck in their head that they can only use it for cards but it is great for both.
