March Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Welcome to the March Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! If you arrived here from Haley's Blog you're on the right track. If this is your starting point, you're in for a real treat! This month we have over 70 talented consultants sharing their art and ideas with the March Stamp of the Month, A Little Everything (D1408).

I absolutely love this set! You can use it for cards, layouts, mini albums...really anything! It's perfect for that little extra sentiment...short and to the point!

This month I have a Year of Cards class, so I used this Stamp of the Month for the Easter card. The paper is from the Caboodle Paper pack.


It was also a perfect addition to a simple layout we are doing for our Crop 'till You Drop on March 20. Each cropper will receive the materials to complete the layout.

I also used the March Stamp of the Month on this little mini purse album I made for a friend. (Thanks for the idea, Val!)



I hope you enjoyed my projects. I'd love to hear your comments and suggestions! Now hop to Michelle's Blog to see what inspiring ideas she has for you! Have fun and happy hopping!! :)

Craft for a Cure - April 17

Join us! Let me know if you'd like to register or make a donation for our raffle!

Shower card

My mom is going to a shower for tomorrow for a friend who is having twins and she asked me to make her a card. The mommy-to-be already knows she's having a boy and a girl, and she's shared their names, so it was really fun to personalize this card!

We need your help!!! Craft for a Cure details...

Valentine Pop-up Accordian Card

I created this card for my parents for Valentine's Day. My parents mean so much to me and I know they love my handmade cards, so I thought I'd make them something special! I found the tutorial on splitcoaststampers and fell in love with the design!

Inside says "THANKS for everything you do" and "You are loved" (all stamped). The small piece on the bottom right was used for my little valentine message.

Card created with Topstitch Level 2 Papers, Baby Pink and Heavenly Blue Ink, March Stamp of the Month A Little Everything stamp set, Sweet Love stamp set, Charmed stamp set, and the Exclusive Stamp set included with the Topstitch Workshop on the Go.
