Stamp of the Month Blog Hop- You've Got a Friend

Welcome to the Close To My Heart Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for May 2014- You've Got a Friend

If you have come here from Krista's Blog , you're on the right path. This month we have over 50 amazing artists' blogs for you to visit.

This set of 5 sentiments is SO FUN! You'll be able to create all kinds of artwork with this one!

This weekend I started working with this set "You've Got a Friend" and got on a roll. I created several cards that I want to share with you :)

You Are the Best:
This first one is created using Lollydoodle papers and Flamingo dots.

This second one features Honey Triangle Washi Tape, Black Shimmer Trim, Red Washi tape & Metallic Bakers Twine.

Merci Beaucoup:
On this card, I used Ariana papers and Black Mini Medley. I stamped the sentiment once in white and trimmed, then again on Sorbet cardstock with black ink and trimmed out just the mustache.

This card also feautres the same Ariana paper, along with Ariana Grey cardstock that I embossed with the Damask Embossing Folder. I stamped the sentiment twice on this one again, cut out the second mustache and covered it with black shimmer trim.

You're the Apply of my Eye
These two cards are very similar! I used Ariana papers, Ariana Assortment bows, Silver Shimmer trim. I stamped the bottom of the card using sweet leaf ink and In the Background stamps. This card base was sweetleaf. The sentiment was stamped in Ruby ink on Sorbet cardstcock, then backed with white cardstock.

The card base on this one is White Daisy and the sentiment was stamped on White with Ruby ink.
*I can't wait to give these to the kids' teachers next week :)

You've Got a Friend in Me:
This last card again uses Ariana Grey cardstock embossed with the Damask Embossing Folder. I stamped the sentiment in Ruby on Sorbet cardstock. I added some Silver Shimmer trim. along with some Black & grey Epoxy Dots for some embellishing.

~~ Holiday Blog Hop ~~

Welcome to the Paper Secrets Holiday Blog Hop. I made a couple of things to share with you today. I created this lovely paper tree by punching a LOT of 1 1/4" circles of Mistletoe Paper, then used pearl floral pins to secure them in rows to a styrofoam cone. As I neared the top, I had to use some adhesive so that they did not flare out, but sit in the cone shape. At the top, I stamped 3 stars and adhered them to the top of the cone. Supplies: Styrofoam cone Pearl Floral Pins CTMH Mistletoe level 2 paper CTMH Mistletoe Creative Basics paper D1320 Shining Star Stamps I created a second paper tree using instructions from Tracey Mason . I created an accordion flower with a stamped sentiment for my topper on this one. Supplies: Styrofoam Cone CTMH Mistletoe Level 2 papers K& Co paper D1380 Just for the Holidays Stamps I created a total of four paper trees to sit upon my mantel! The "subway art" was a free printable from eighteen25 ....

April Showers Blog Hop

Thanks for joining me for another weekend of Blog Hoppin Fun! If you have come here from Tina's Blog , you are on the right path! Keep on hoppin until the end :) April Showers is our theme, and I went with the "shower" theme and made baby cards for baby showers! I am addicted to making these stacked present cards lately! I first saw one that my friend Jayma made, who found it on Vicki's blog. Recently, I saw a couple cute ones on Haley's blog too. I cut my paper strips at 1.25 tall x 3, 2.25 and 1.5 long. Add a ribbon down the center, or just a bow on top and you're set! I used the Sweet Baby stamp set and Polka Dot Alphabet for my sentiments. Now I'm all set for the next baby shower..... (though I don't know any preggos right now). This design is also great for Birthday Cards too!!!! I made two each of these cards and stamped Birthday sentiments on them :) Supplies: BOY: Miracle Level 2 Sweet Baby...

September Stamp of the Month- Family is Forever

Welcome to the September Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for Family is Forever If you have come here from Judy's Blog , you're on the right path. This month we have 80 amazing artists' blogs for you to visit. This stamp set is beautiful! Lately I have seen this fun and easy marker technique, so I decided to give it a try with the September Stamp of the Month. Using the ShinHan Twin Touch Markers : Leaf Green, Turquoise Blue, Vivid Green and Cerulean Blue Light, I colored diagonal streaks across the middle of my card. Then I used Archival Black Ink to Stamp Family is Forever. I stamped the little hearts in Lagoon ink and added some Blue and Green Sparkles to the bottom. I used the Die Cut Card , so I added a piece of the Lagoon Paper Fundamentals to the inside of the card. The September Stamp of the Month is available from September 1-30. It is only $5 with a $50 purchase on my webs...
