Countdown To Autumn/Winter Idea Book- Day 10- STAMP OF THE MONTH Blog Hop

I hope you've enjoyed my 10 day countdown to the Autumn/Winter Idea Book! You'll be able to view the All New Autumn/Winter Idea Book on my website August 1st :)

I end today with the usual Stamp of the Month Blog Hop :)

Welcome to the Close To My Heart Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for August 2013- featuring A Chocolate Affair

 

If you have come here from my Canadian friend Carla's Blog you're on the right path.  If you get lost along the way, you'll find a complete hop list at Helen's Blog!

Today I'd like to share a couple of quick and easy 3x3 cards that I created with A Chocolate Affair.   This first card features Babycakes papers and the Chocolate Striped Grossgrain ribbon.  I stamped the cupcake in Chocolate on the scalloped circle, then on scratch paper stamped again in Buttercup and Sunset.  I cut and paper pieced the cupcake together- topped off with a red gem from the Pink & Red glitter gems.  
 


This next card features a paper from the Huntington paper pack and Red Shimmer Trim ( LOVE LOVE )
I stamped the cake image in chocolate on a bracket shape (From Art Philosophy).  Then using my texture tools, I stippled Cranberry and Creme Brule reinker onto the paper.  The inside has a Happy Birthday Stamp :)

A Chocolate Affair is perfect for small cards, just like these!


The next amazing CTMH Consultant on our hop list is LUCY!  Take a look at what she's created for us this month!

CTMH- Everything ABC's Blog Hop- E is for Easter

Welcome to the Everything ABC's Blog Hop! For this hop we will be featuring the letter E. This may be the name of a paper, a stamp set or an embellishment. Whatever the crafter has chosen as their E element will be featured in their post. If you have just hopped onto my blog, you can start at the beginning at Amber's blog ~ Scrapper's Therapy  If you came from Shelly ~ Just One Piece then you're on the right track! E is for EASTER You may recall a few months ago, I posted a couple layouts from the baby album I am making for my niece.... well she's now 3 months old and I only finished through 4 months!  I have some work to do..... Today I created an Easter Layout using THIS layout as my inspiration.  The Chantilly paper pack is perfectly girly and springy!  I cut two strips of the green pattern, then sliced it up to make it look like grass.  Using Art Philosophy, I cut out a bunch of different eggs in 1 1/2", 1 3/4" and ...

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 :)
