Stargazer Collection

Today I'm here to tell you all about the Stargazer Collection! I love these papers and stamp sets, and I think they're perfect for both boys and girls.


I do like it when a paper collection comes out that doesn't quite have so much pink and flowers in it because I have a son and like to scrapbook his pictures with papers he doesn't think are too girly! :-) But this paper really works for both, and even if you don't have any space-themed pictures, it's perfect for fun birthday cards. It would also work well for those solar eclipse pictures you might have!

The Stargazer Paper Packet also has some wonderful coordinating products!

Stargazer Coordinating Cardstock


Stargazer Complements


Stargazer Dots


Light Grey Ribbon


Stargazer Cardmaking Stamp Set & Thin Cuts (available as stamp set only as well)


Stargazer Scrapbooking Stamp Set


There are also two kits available as part of the Stargazer Collection.

Stargazer Scrapbooking Kit


A Slice of Happy Cardmaking Kit


Here's another stamp set that's not part of the Stargazer Collection, but I think it coordinates well and would make some great cards!

A New Adventure


Here are a few projects featured in the Seasonal Expressions 1 idea book that have been made with products from the Stargazer collection.







Thanks for checking out all of these great products, and don't forget about the specials going on this month!

March Stamping Workshop

  • Tuesday, March 13
  • 6:30-8:30
  • $8.00 per kit


During this workshop you can make cards or a scrapbooking layout - or both! For only $8 you can make four cards (two each of two designs) or one two-page scrapbooking layout.

This workshop is perfect for both beginners and more advanced crafters, and it's a great opportunity to bring friends. In fact, if you bring a friend with you (who hasn't been to one of my workshops before), you will both receive a free pack of embellishments or a roll of ribbon from me!

Stargazer is the featured paper collection for March, so we'll be using that in this month's workshop. These papers and designs are good for both boys and girls, which is helpful because I'm always running low on cards for boys!

Here are the two stamp sets we'll be using at this workshop.

Stargazer Cardmaking Stamp Set


Stargazer Scrapbooking Stamp Set


Here are pictures of the two card designs for February.

And here are pictures of the scrapbooking layout.





You must purchase your kit(s) in advance to reserve your place; to purchase, click on the links below. If you can't pay online and would prefer to pay with cash or check in person, please contact me.

Feel free to look at the other kits I have for sale in my shop. If there are other cards or layouts you would like to complete in addition to the Stargazer kits, feel free to purchase and make those too!

You can also find all this information and RSVP on the Facebook event page.

You can bring your own adhesive, or I can provide it for $5.00. The sign-up deadline is Sunday, March 11th - or until kits sell out!

If you have any questions, please feel free to call, email, or text me. I hope to see you in March!

Thanks,
Bethany Rielage

February Stamp of the Month

Today I'm sharing some information about the February stamp of the month set - Sunny Thoughts. I know it's late in the month, but it's not too late to get this beautiful and versatile stamp set!



I love when a stamp set includes so many useful sentiments, and they are perfectly sized for a card. I also love the little flower images that can add just the right finishing touch to your project.




I have seen some great artwork online using this stamp set. If you're interested in seeing some of this artwork, search the hashtags #ctmhsunnythoughts, #ctmhsotm, #stampofthemonth, or #ctmhstampofthemonth on social media. Those should get you some good ideas!

Here are a few cards I've made using the Sunny Thoughts stamp set.




This stamp of the month is only available in February! You can buy it at the full retail price of $17.95 or get it for only $5 with a $50 order.

Click on the link below to learn more and to get your own Sunny Thoughts stamp set:

CTS 259 - Something Magical

I'm back with another card for you based on a sketch from the CAS(E) this Sketch blog!




And here's my card:



When I saw this sketch, I immediately thought of the stamp set from the Something Magical Cardmaking Kit. The circle would be perfect for this card!


When I first got this kit and started using the stamp set, I went ahead and cut out a bunch of circles from White Daisy cardstock. I know whenever I use this set, I'm going to want a circle, so I just keep extra blank ones in the envelope with the stamp set. Then they're ready for me when I want them!

The patterned paper for my card comes from the Make Waves paper packet, and I also used some Make Waves Shimmer Trim. The bow is made out of ribbon from the Whimsy Ribbon Pack, and I stamped the sentiment with Peacock ink.



If you have any questions about any of the products I used today, please feel free to contact me. And don't forget about the great deals happening this month. You can find out more at the links below!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
