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!

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-- 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....
