May 2016 Stamp of the Month Bloghop

Welcome to the May 2016 Stamp of the Month Bloghop!  I am one of 33, CTMH Consultants eager to share with you how they used "Celebrate with Cake", the featured stamp.

You may have jumped to my page from Sarah Stone's Blog by clicking on her link to me.  When you are ready you will simply click on my link to Jeanie Burch's Blog.  Keep clicking on the links within each person's posts and you will make your way back to where you started.  And do enjoy all the stops along the way!  We all hope you are inspired!

I have made a simple birthday card because sometimes we want to send a homemade card to a friend, but don't want to spend a ton of time on it.  I focused on the slice of cake to do something different using the cake platters.

Whisper Cardstock

Watercolor Paper

Confetti Embossing Folder

Waterbrush (now in Seasonal Expressions 2)
