American Celebration


This month I made a little gift for the hostess of a party we have been invited to on the 4th.  I made a silverware caddy and matching toothpicks/holder.  I also made a card to use as a thank you card for her.  I used the stamp set to random stamp a 12 X 12 piece of cardstock and used that on both the caddy and the card.



Here is a another picture of the card. The card pattern is based on "File Pocket" from "Wishes".

June Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Wow, here we are knocking on summer's door!  Can you believe it is the beginning of June already?  The school year is almost over and I think I am more excited than the kids.  No school, means more time to be creative and hopefully be able to share more often.  I am so glad that I have been able to participate in this blog hop, as it has forced me to post at least once a month.  I hope to improve upon that soon. 

Now on to the blog hop....
There are over 50 CTMH consultants joining in the fun this month. So, whether you've come from Cindy's blog or are just starting here, you are in for some great inspiration. This month we are featuring "Jubilation", a set of 24 stamps.

I have some cards to show you this month.  Anyone in need of a new wardrobe?



The card on the left uses B&T paper from the "Miracle" paper packet and the one on the right is from "Magnifique" packet. I used two of the smaller stamps on these cards; even using one on our new canvas badge buttons.

Here is one more card I made using some more of the stamp set. This uses paper from "Olivia". I punched holes in the front to give it a peek-a-boo look.









Now hop along to Shirley's blog to enjoy more projects featuring this versatile stamp set.  Don't forget "Jubilation" will only be available for the month of June. Contact your consultant or go here to order yours before it's too late.
