CTMH-- July Stamp of the Month Blog Hop- Live Out Loud!

Welcome to the Close To My Heart Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for July  2012, featuring Live out Loud!


 
All artwork on the hop will feature Live out Loud!  This is a set of 8 stamps, featuring wonderful sentiments!  It is a must have :)  If you have come here from Beth's blog you are on the right path.

How fun is this set of stamps!  "Imagine the Possibilities"!!!


Today I have taken inspiration from a couple different cards that I've seen lately.  I love the black and white with pop of color that I found in Wendy's card on Pinterest.  I saw another consultant sponge color on little strips of our Color Ready Seam Binding Ribbon on Pinterest as well. 

For my card- I combined both of those- I used a White Daisy card base, stamped my sentiment "Imagine the possibilities" in black.  I used some markers to color in a couple of the letters. 
I then used a sponge dauber to color strips of the Color Ready Seam Binding in Tulip, Sorbet, Creme Brule, Pear, Lagoon, Pacifica and Gypsy.  I cut the tails of my ribbons to a pennant and placed them under a strip of black cardstock. 
Very simple and easy- yet so fun!  







The July Stamp of the Month- Live Out Loud is available July 1-31.  With any $50 purchase, this set is yours for $5.

CTMH- Washi Tape Card

Do you WASHI???   Washi Tape is one of the new and super trendy products being used.  I'm not afraid to jump on the bandwagon :)  CTMH now has a Slate Polka-Dot Washi Tape (and I HOPE there are lots more to come!!!)  I also have picked up a couple others at Michaels recently. This weeks Color My Heart Color Dare is JUNIPER.  I decided to use Juniper as the accent color for my card today. I used the black banner stamp set from Artiste Kudos , CTMH's Slate Washi Tape , CTMH's Silver Shimmer Trim and a black arrow washi tape.  The sentiment is from Artiste Birthday , stamped in Juniper, then popped on foam tape. A simple card like this, called for some dressing up of the inside too.  I stamped Happy Birthday from Perfect Fit Birthday and added some Slate Washi Tape to the bottom. Head over to Color My Heart to check out the other color dare entries :)

CTMH-- September Stamp of the Month- Fall Favori

Welcome to the Close To My Heart Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for September 2012, featuring Fall Favorites   All artwork on the hop will feature Fall Favorites!  This is a set of 11 stamps and it's really making me want FALL---- NOW!!!  How cute is this set!?  If you have come here from  Susan's Blog y ou are on the right path. For my card today, I used the new Clementine paper pack, which is so versatile!  I cut the tag from Art Philosophy and stamped Fall Favorites in Brown Staz-on ink, then colored the pumpkin and leaves with my new markers.  I found that they don't blend and shade terribly well on Kraft cardstock- but the color showed up.  I added some of my favorite Burlap Ribbon to the card :) Do you think I like pumpkin pie???  Just a little bit ;) The September Stamp of the Month- Fall Favorites is available September 1-30th.  With any $50 purchase, this set is yours for $5....
