SOTM Blog Hop for June 2013

Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!  This month we are featuring, A Flowering Bunch, a set of 10 stamps.

 

If you have come here from Judy Faye's Blog, you are on the right path!  The blog hop is one big circle, so you can start here and make your way around.  If you get lost along the way, find a complete list of participating consultants at http://hookedonstamping.com.

 

 

This month over 60 Close to My Heart Consultants are sharing their creations using this June's SOTM and other CTMH product on their blogs.  Visiting their blogs is easy - just click on the link at the bottom of each blog and you will hop right over to the next one!  Let's get started!

 

 

I made a Thank You card using, A Flowering Bunch.

 



 

 

I cut the flower from our Cricut Artiste cartridge at 2" on White Daisy Cardstock (CS) and 2.25" on Honey CS. I cut the leaf from the same cartridge at .75" on White Daisy CS and 1" on New England Ivy CS.  I stamped the petals in Honey ink on the white flower and glued it to the Honey CS flower for emphasis. I also did the inking of the leaf in New England Ivy ink and glued it to the matching CS.  The daisy in the center, which is a retired product, is sponged in Honey ink.  I stuck it to the CS with a glue dot.  To cap off the flower, I tied a sparkle button from the Black and White Button Assortment with Black Waxy Flax and glued it in the center of the daisy with a glue dot.

 

 

The card base is Honey CS and measures 5.50" x 4.25".  I cut four rectangles from the "For Always" paper pack using four different B&T's.  The column on the right is slightly larger than the column on the left. I used a zip strip from the paper pack to cover my edges.  Believe me, it was difficult to measure the four rectangles and get them to line up evenly!  Hopefully not for you!!

 

 

Before I glued all the rectangles down, I stamped the phrase, "Thanks A BUNCH" on my lightest B&T.  All the B&T pieces were glued in place using Tombow adhesive.  The final touch was glueing on my flower and leaf.

Card Kits for June 2013

Wedding Season is here!!  I don't know about you, but I am preparing to be invited to many weddings this summer!  So I have created three card kits around this theme.  I also am offering a classy, birthday card, a charming, "thinking of you" card, and a trendy, thank you card all by way of kits.  Each of the kits have the Close to My Heart paper pack, "For Always" incorporated in them by either patterned paper, cardstock, or textiles.

In case you don't know, all my kits come with precut papers, ribbons, and all the embellishments.  I will also prestamp if you prefer.  Or if you are adding stamps to your collection, you can buy the designated stamp set and a mini, black, pigment stamp pad and do all your own stamping.  Either way, papers will be precut, including all the cricut cut shapes!  I will include complete directions for assembly.

Come take a look at the six, new kits...
