This week at Heart2Heart Challenges , we are starting with a new group of Design Team members.  I am proud to be continuing on the Design Team for another term :) The theme this week is "Up, up and away".  Focus on something up in the air (plane, helicopter, hot air balloon, butterfly, bird, etc.) For this week's challenge, I decided to go through my Picture My Life Skylark kit and pull out my favorite cards with birds & butterflies on them.  I then turned them into greeting cards :) In addition to the Picture My Life cards , I used the Skylark Assortment , Silver Shimmer Trim, Lagoon Zipper Lace, Burlap Ribbon , Sparkles Flourishes, White Enamel Shapes , Quatrefoil Embossing Folder,   Chevron Embossing Folder , Dots Embossing folder & Striped Embossing Folder.  I stamped various words using the July Stamp of the Month- Circus Alphabet , and used the Dreamer stamp set as well. Join us for this week's challenge--- CLIC...

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 Blog ,  you'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 !
