February 2015 CTMH SOTM Blog Hop – A Happy Hello

On: 01/31/2015

Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! We will be featuring the February SOTM, which is A Happy Hello, a set of 15 stamps.

If you have come here from Tina Lovell’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 on Melinda’s Blog. This month we have over 60 Close To My Heart Consultants sharing their creations using this month’s SOTM and other great Close to My Heart products on their blogs. To visit each blog for some great ideas just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move to the next one! Here we go!

Supplies used are all Close to My Heart: Snowhaven Paper Packet, Honeycomb Embossing Folder, A Happy Hello Stamp Set, Inks (Cranberry, Glacier, and Whisper), Heartstrings Complements, Marvy Uchida LePen Journaling Pen, 3-D Foam Tape, Sparkles Clear Flourishes – Small, and Junebug Puffies.

One of the great things about acrylic stamps is the ability to “shape” them in new ways as you can see from my scalloped border. I stretched out the stamp before attaching it to my acrylic block to create the elongated shape that I wanted. I also cut the teardrop puffy shape to create the circles used in the center of some of the flowers. This layout involved a lot of fussy-cutting but I don’t mind that.

Now “Hop” on over to Justine Hovey’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, A Happy Hello Stamp Set is only available through the end of February!

This set is available on my website for only $5 with a $50 purchase. Shop now!

Welcome to the Everything ABC’s Blog Hop! For this hop we will be featuring the letter C. This may be the name of a paper, a stamp set or an embellishment. Whatever the crafter has chosen as their C element will be featured in their post.

If you have just hopped onto my blog, please start at the beginning at Linda Norman- Scrappy Therapy. If you came from Denise Elliott – Inspired By D then you’re on the right track!

For the letter C, I CHANGED up the CONFETTI Wishes papers to create new CARDS. You can view the other cards I made and download the workshop guide on this post.
