Stamp of the Month Blog Hop- Circus Alphabet

Welcome to the Close To My Heart Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for July- CIRCUS ALPHABET



If you have come here from Maria's Blogyou're on the right path.  This month we have over 40amazing artists' blogs for you to visit.

I just love the fun and whimsical Alphabet set this month!

Today I have a card to show you.  I was inspired by Pinterest once again, and decided to make a cardstock only card to showcase this fun set.  I used the Artiste cartridge to cut some clouds and the Artbooking cartridge to cut the sun.  I sponged some Whisper ink around the edges of the clouds.  Using Black Archival ink (for a thick, sharp stamped image), I stamped all the letters.  On the sun I sneaked a brand new product- a gold sequin, with a bitty sparkle in the center.  


The July  Stamp of the Month is available from July 1-31.  It is only $5 with a $50 purchase on my website!

The next blogger in our hop is Kami I know you will see amazing artwork there.  

Happy Hopping!!!

Very fun Card! Interesting to note that we both used the "sun" and yet our layouts are totally different.

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 :)
