Love these people stamp – Crafty Concepts with Erin

We all have special people in our lives. Those of us that scrapbook and memory keep, we like to record these special people in our albums, while we cardmakers like to send happy mail to those special people. CTMH has just perfect collection to help record your memories. It is a new special called These Are My People and I thought it would be perfect to showcase this photo of my sister in law and my nieces and nephew.

I purchased the scrapbooking workshop option which includes materials to create four 12×12 layouts and five cards. You can get the collection with or without the coordinating stamp set. There is even a PRE-CUT option to create a 6×8 mini album. All you have to do is put the pieces together following step by step instructions. What a great gift idea for mother’s day right around the corner, don’t you think? I have included the YouTube tutorial below if you prefer to watch the process unfold.

In my video, I show how I created this stamped floral border along the bottom of my layout. I added a soft touch of color by sponging Ballerina ink to the flower centers with a sponge dauber.

I have created a visual embellishment cluster by layering different elements. I began with stamping then overlapped paper, tabs, and some floral stickers.

Below is a look at all the cards I created with leftovers. Two of the cards were pre-designed by CTMH while I designed the other three

I stamped the larger flower from the Love These People Stamp set using Intense Black Ink. I colored them in with the Pale Pink and Dull Green Spectrum Noir Triblend markers. Having three shades in one really takes the guesswork out of shading and coloring. I did add a touch of Almond cardstock from my scraps to create these two cards.

This card came together quickly. I embossed the Carolina Blue cardstock with a retired floral embossing folder to add some texture to the background. Using my middle Stitched Frame Die I die cut the striped paper. by turning the stitched frame portion over, I can highlight the Pink patterned paper on the opposite side. The majority of my sentiment came from the Say It In Style stamp set posted further down.

To create these two cards I simply followed the step by step instructions. Anyone can create beautiful artwork because CTMH makes it so simple. How fun it is to send a handmade card to brighten a friend’s day.

Along with all the goodies pictured, you get two digital cut files to incorporate into your projects. I have seen others cut these from vinyl and adhere to their album covers. You can also cut from paper and make a great page title.

This “Say It In Style” stamp set is from the core catalog. If you are building your stamp collection, or want a go-to set, this is perfect for cardmakers and scrapbookers alike. There is a sentiment for darn near every occasion!

Below is a look at the projects you can easily create with the scrapbooking workshop. CTMH gives you step by step instructions to put all these layouts together along with 5 beautiful and uplifting cards.

Springtime is here! The world seems a bit chaotic at the moment but I still find joy in my garden where the flowers continue to bloom dazzling us with their showy display of springtime cheer! I was inspired to bring this happy display of color into my craft room and create this card to share with you.

This lovable bunny stamp was a must-have for me. He is a handsome fellow and makes a lovely card or embellishment for my scrapbook layouts. I have created a few of these cards changing up the sentiments from “Happy Easter” to “Just Because”, “Thank You” or “Happy Birthday”.

If you have been watching my tutorials for a while, you know how much I love those Stitched Rectangle Frames. They are probably my most used die. In fact, I have a video coming out next week on how to utilize scraps featuring this very die. To see how I stamped and colored this beautiful frame in today’s project, you can watch the youtube tutorial below for a few tips and tricks.

I hope you are feeling inspired to create this cheerful Springtime card. Leave me a comment here or on my YouTube channel to say hello. Happy crafting my friends!
