Stamp of the Month

Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! We will be featuring February's SOTM, which is called "Friendship" a set of 8 stamps. If you have come here from Katherine Schmitt's Blog, 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 69 Close To My Heart Consultants sharing their creations using this month's SOTM 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!

This little card is easily pulled out to add a message to your card!

I'm really happy with the way this card turned out. I found a pattern on Scor-Pal's website called, "Criss Cross Pocket Card." I thought it was unique and something I have never done before. I added a belly band to dress up the outside of the card. For the inside of the card I made it pretty simple. I used all the matching papers from the Wings level 2 Paper Packet! Hope you enjoy!

Supplies used: All CTMH and available!

Paper: Wings

Stamps: Friendship

Inks: Black

Embellishments: Ribbon and Brads

Tools: Tape, Ribbon and Scor- Pal

Now "Hop" on over to Cecilia Marsh'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! Remember, the February SOTM is only available until the 28th of February! Contact your CTMH Consultant or click here to see how you can get this stamp set at a discount or even free!

CTMH Spring/Summer 2011 Blog Hop!

It's that time again- Close to my Heart is releasing a new Idea Book and a group of fabulous consultants are here to give you a sneak peak of some of the fabulous new products! Be sure to check out all the blogs below!

This card is pretty simple and I'm not for sure if I liked how it exactly turned out. I'm hoping to make more, but I have a 2 week old baby and have not had a lot of time to get out my new stuff and start playing. Hopefully pretty soon I will get more things posted!
