Poster Tidings - September's Stamp of the Month

Welcome to September's Stamp of the Month blog hop! This month we are showcasing "Poster Tidings" a set of  2 stamps. If you are coming from Vicki's blog, you are on the right track. It's okay if you are starting here; just be sure to complete the circle so you don't miss any of the wonderful projects my fellow consultants have created.

What a great stamp set this is for the upcoming holiday season. Use them whole or stamp and cut the image apart; either way, I am sure you will use this set over and over.
I chose to use the whole image, but then created my sentiment by highlighting some of the text with embossing powder. The B&T paper is from the "Huntington" paper pack.
I thought this would make a great card to send to someone who has been a blessing in your life, or as a thank you for sharing a Thanksgiving meal.

February Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Welcome! I'm so happy you have joined us in this month's blog hop. Whether you have come from Cindy's blog or are just starting here, you are in for a treat! We are featuring "Piece of Cake" a set of 10 stamps. There are over 70 very talented Close to my Heart consultants ready to show you how versatile this stamp set is. Be sure to make the complete circle; you won't want to miss any of it.

This is the card I made this month:












I stamped all the different cake images on the card front in Grey Wool. The sentiment on the front is embossed in White Daisy as is the cake on the multicolored piece. That is White Daisy CS that was colored with chalk and matted with Citrus Leaf. The sparkles are our clear ones; just colored with my Sharpies (that has been a great money saving trick I've used for a long time...don't ever have to worry about having the wrong color). Inside, I masked off the cake plate and doubled stamped the sentiment in Grey Wool and Citrus Leaf. Then I added a little prisma glitter to give it some bling.

I hope you like what I've shown you. Now hop on over to Nona's blog...I'm sure she has something amazing to show you next! If you get lost along the way, you can see the entire list of blogs in my previous post. And, don't forget this stamp set is only available for the month of February, so order yours today!

Something Masculine for a Change

For this week's Mojo Monday sketch, I decided to change gears from all the feminine looking projects I've been doing. I took this card in a more masculine direction using a brown and blue color scheme. I have been on a real embossing kick lately and this card is no exception. The belt buckle, star and sentiment are all embossed. All supplies are CTMH, although both the paper and stamp set (belt and buckle) are retired. The sentiment and star are from D1333 Wishing Star. Colors are Bamboo, Cocoa and Indian Corn Blue.

Unscripted Sketches #38

Here is my take on this week's Unscripted sketch #38. Lots of sparkle on this one. I embossed the cupcake cup and sprinkles, and the sentiment. Added glitter, pearl paint to the flower, sparkles and even a glitter brad.

Now I have to just find a sparkly, girly gift to go with it!

A Little Halloween Fun

I just received some of my new Close to my Heart products and just couldn't wait to use them. One of the stamp sets I got, is a new Halloween set called "Spellbound". For this weeks Unscripted Sketches 19 design, I used the Spellbound set, except for the moon. Even though Spellbound has one, I used the one from October Word Puzzle which is bigger. The tree, (which I love) bats and moon were all embossed. Other products used are: patterned paper, Pinecone Press and embossing powder from Sparkle and Sprinkle.

Well, the summer is over for me. Tomorrow I head back to work, so I won't get to play with the rest of my goodies for awhile. Oh well, that's what weekends are for I guess. : )
