July Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

It's time for our July Stamp of the Month Blog Hop featuring the cutest stamp set, Happy Forever! If you're arriving here from Sheila's Blog, you're on the right track! If this is your first stop, enjoy the hop! It's a circle, so you'll end back here when you're done. There are almost 70 consultants participating in the blog hop this month, so you're sure to see some fantastic projects along the way!

I created two simple projects using this adorable stamp set. The first is a bookmark I made for a friend using textured cardstock and B&T paper from the Emporium paper pack. There is a pewter bitty brad for the little hedgehog's nose. I used white daisy organdy ribbon at the top.

I also made a card with this set, perfect for an Anniversary or a happy event in someone's life. The paper is from the Cherry-O paper pack. Again, the nose of the hedgehog is a pewter bitty brad. I colored the butterfly with hollyhock marker. Simple, yet thoughtful! :)

Now, hop on to Jill's Blog to see what fun projects she's created with this cute set! Don't forget to leave a comment before you go! One lucky commenter will receive BLOG CANDY! Comment before July 7 to qualify for the drawing! Happy Hopping! :)

June and July SOM cards

I made a couple cards tonight using the June Stamp of the Month (left) and the July Stamp of the Month (right).

I think the June Stamp of the Month is perfect for Father's Day cards! I used the Aspen paper pack for a masculine flair. In the right corner are two white daisy bitty brads.

Isn't that little hedgehog adorable? I think I'm going to give my husband that card for our anniversary next week! The papers used on that card are from the Cherry-O paper pack. There is a pewter bitty brad as the hedgehog's nose, too.

I'd love to know what you think...leave a comment if you can! Thanks!! :)

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.

Thanks for visiting! Don't forget to leave a comment before you go. I would love to know what you think of my projects! Now, on to the next stop . . . Traci's blog! Have fun! :)
