January 2014 Stamp of the month Blog Hop- Cross Stitch Wishes

Welcome to the Close To My Heart Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for January 2014- featuring Cross Stitch Wishes




If you have come here from Tamytha's blog you're on the right path. 

Cross Stitch Wishes is perfect for getting a jump start on your Valentines projects!  It coordinates with Cricut Artiste to cut the hearts out perfectly!  


Today I want to show you how I used this set on TWO different Calendar projects!  I will be showcasing both calendars in the next few days, but here's a peek!

EVENT CALENDAR

I just love these event calendars!  I created several of them for a crafty gift exchange party, and they were a huge hit.  

On the February page, I used Cross Stitch Wishes to stamp the heart and to add some stamped accents down the page.



I used the retiring For Always paper pack, black Shimmer Trim, Art Philosophy and Artiste to cut out the images.  

STUDIO J CALENDAR
This is one of my favorite projects of the year!  I can't wait to show you the whole thing :)

For my February page, I created the layout in Studio J, attached it to the 12x12 calendar, then stamped calendar portion.  I actually write in all the numbers, then stamp the month and accents.  I used Cross Stitch Wishes (xo) to add some accent to the page. 

 I used the For Always paper kit in Studio J, Love Life Stamps, Bohemian Alphabet (retired).

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 ...
