December SOTM Blog Hop

Welcome to the December Stamp of the Month blog hop! If you have come here from Deb's blog you are on the right path.

Once again, we have over 60 consultants sharing their incredible artwork. Be sure and make the entire circle, because you won't want to miss any of it.

This month's featured set is "Notice the Details". It is a set of 41 stamps. I think this is a great set for scrapbook pages and calendars, however I wanted to do something different with it. It was a challenge, but this is what I came up with. I used the binder clip and bracket stamps to make the flower. The paper is from the "Twitterpated" paper pack.

Now hop on over to Jamia's blog and take a look at what she has designed. This is a circle hop so keep going until you get back here. If you get lost or want to complete the circle at another time you can see the entire list of participants in my post below.

Happy Hopping!

December Stamp of the Month Blog Hop Coming!

The December Stamp of the Month blog hop will be starting soon. Aren't you excited? I am! We will be going live at 9 pm. (Eastern Time) on November 30th. This set was a challenge for me, so I can't wait to see all the incredible artwork that my fellow consultants have in store for us.

Here is the list of participating consultants, in case you get lost along the way or want to continue the circle at another time.

A Quick Thanksgiving Card

Thanksgiving is fast approaching so here is a quick Thanksgiving card for you. I used B & T paper from the "Twitterpated" paper packet. The stamps are all from the "Grateful Hearts" set. Hope you like it!


Happy Wednesday everyone!

Flourished Blessings

This is a card that I made with my stamp club ladies this month. It is 6 x 6, and made with paper from CTMH's "Grace" paper pack. I love the beautiful autumn colors in this paper.

The stamp set used is "Flourished Blessings". We also embellished with Just Blooms paper flowers and buttons from the "Basic" craft buttons.

Better Late than Never...My take on this Week's Mojo Monday

This is my card based on this week's Mojo Monday sketch. It features Close to my Heart's stamp set "Ring in the Year". This cute set is retiring the end of this year. Paper used is also CTMH; "Aspen" whose featured colors are, Twilight, Outdoor Denim, Bamboo and Creme Brulee.

I used this cute set to make a Thanks for your hospitality card. The house is paper pieced and pop dotted. The alphabet used on the front is "Homestead", which retires the end of this year. Inside the card is lined with paper from the "Grace" paper pack. On the left is a stamp from the "Solo T" stamp set.
