November Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

November has arrived and I am so happy!  I love the thought that Thanksgiving is coming.  It is my favorite holiday!  The time spent with family and the reminder of how truly blessed we are is precious. And then there is the anticipation of the approaching holiday season; a busy but, wonderful time. So welcome, as we kick off November with a new stamp of the month. The set is aptly named "Cherish the Day" and is a set of 44 stamps. This is truly a set that you could use every single day of the year. Now I hope you enjoy all the inspiration you will find on this hop.  If you are coming from Georgia's  blog, you are on the right track. It's okay if you are starting here; just be sure to complete the circle so you don't miss any of the wonderful projects my fellow consultants have created.

For November's project I made favor boxes for our Thanksgiving dinner.  To make this I used the wonderful new Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge. It has been one of my favorite items introduced in the Autumn/Winter Idea Book. I used it to cut the box, leaves, acorn and the tag; making a cut intensive project quick and easy.  In addition to the stamp of the month, I also used "Harvest Happiness" and "Salutation Seals".

Here is a closeup of the tag made with the stamp of the month:

October Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

October is upon us, can you believe it? That means the holidays are right around the corner!  Good thing you have joined us for this month's blog hop as it features a really cute set for Christmas. The name of the set is "Holiday Magic" and it is a set of 18 stamps. I am proud to be part of this group of wonderfully talented consultants. So sit back and prepare to be inspired.  If you are coming from Shannon's  blog, you are on the right track. It's okay if you are starting here; just be sure to complete the circle so you don't miss any of the wonderful projects my fellow consultants have created.

This month I have made a card using the new kraft die-cut cards as my base. The only other paper was colonial white cardstock. The trees are stamped in Garden Green and New England Ivy, and the sleigh is done using Cranberry and silver embossing powder. After stamping I stippled the background using Desert Sand. I added Glitz glitter gel in red for that little bling that just lends itself to the holidays.

On the inside of the card I used one of the small stamps from the set to make a wreath around the sentiment. I love these sets that have two part sentiments so you can put something on the outside and inside of the card.  I added a little bling to that too.
