June Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Welcome to the June Stamp of the Month blog hop! This is a fantastic hop where almost 70 consultants are sharing their inspiration and ideas using the June Stamp of the Month, Wonderful Friend! I hope you enjoy hopping from blog to blog! If you arrived here from Kristie's blog, you're on the right track. It's a circle, so if this is your first stop, you'll end right back here when you're done!

This month's SOM is a cute set especially for dads! I just love it! I created a Father's Day card for my dad, as well as embellished on a layout of my son and husband. This Wonderful Friend is perfect for both cards and layouts.

For this shirt and tie card, I used Desert Sand Ink and White Daisy cardstock. The buttons are pewter conchos and the tie is stamped on the darker side of the blue/desert sand B&T from Animal Cookies, then cut out.

Here is the card all put together.
I plan to write on the tie note card before slipping it into the shirt envelope. Might even slip a gift card in there, too. He'd love that and this would be a great way to "wrap" it.

I love how the pictures look with this stamp set on the layout. I printed the quote using our fantastic CTMH Font CD. All the ink is desert sand, which gives it a distressed look. I used the same B&T from Animal Cookies because I thought it looked great with the neutrals.

Product Spotlight Blog Hop

Welcome to my post for this month's product spotlight blog hop! (If you arrived here from Amy's blog, you're on the right track.) This month we're featuring a card from our fantastic Wishes Card Confidence Program. The City Scape pattern is so cute and perfect for any occasion. I created two simple cards using this pattern.

The horizontal card was made with the new A Little Buzz stamp set, Sarsaparilla B&T, and Juniper cardstock. I curved the "greetings" around the back side of the little bug.

The vertical card was made with the Smiles stamp set, A Little Buzz stamp set, Perfect Day B&T, tulip and juniper cardstock.

Now, hop on over to Karen's blog to check out her versions of this card pattern! It's a circle, so after you check out all the great ideas you'll end up back here! Have fun on the hop! :)
