April Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!  We will be featuring April's SOTM, which is You Are..., a set of 15 stamps.  If you have come here from Alissa Chilton's Blog, Rocky Mountain Paper Crafts, you are on the right path! The blog hop is a great big circle, so you can start here and work your way all around.  If you get lost along the way, you’ll find the complete list of participating consultants here.

This month we have over 50 Close To My Heart Consultants sharing their creations using You Are... and other great CTMH products on their blogs. This is simple to do - just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move to the next one! Here we go!

 

 I used both the SOTM You Are... and the Quick Cards Butterfly stamp.  The colors are Lagoon, Pacifica, and Creme Brulee.  I ran the Lagoon Square on the front thru my Cuttlebug to give it some added dimension.  Then I used the rock-n-roll technique on the butterfly with Lagoon as the main color, and Pacifica on the edges.  I love that color combination.  Then I added some bitty sparkles for some extra bling.

The inside of the card was done using the "You Are" Stamp set.  The photo doesn't show it very clearly (sorry) but it says "You Are Truly AMAZING!"  I love the versatility of this stamp set in that you can mix-n-match any of the tops with any of the bottoms, including the colors.  I also used the straight lines to make a Creme Brulee background to match the Creme Brulee baker's twine.  All in all, a nice affect.  Thanks for looking.  Be sure to leave a comment.

Now "Hop" on over to Judy Faye's Blog, to see her work! Be sure to visit all the Consultants at their Blogs to get some great crafting ideas and other fun ideas!

Using the Art Philosophy cartridge, these triangles are cut at 3".  We are using a retired Sensational Seasons Stamp set for the bunny and basket and the colors are Sweet Leaf and Blush.

A Butterfly

I am loving these little A-size stamps!  I just made some quick Thank you cards using the quick cards butterfly stamp (only $6.95) and the "spring fold" that I've been seeing on several blogs lately, not sure who to give the credit to because there are several out there, but it's a cute idea that I'm going to be working into my next card workshop.  These cards are only 3" squares though instead of the regular 6" ones.  I think they came out adorable!

I used lagoon and pacifica on the butterfly, I love that color combination.
