Welcome to our Stamptacular Blog Hop! We will be featuring all the stamps and some stamp + thin cut bundles that are on sale this month. If you have come here from Kathy Burrows‘ 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.  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!

When this stamp set came out, I knew these pictures were the perfect reason to use it! The penguins are so cute and that the one in the glasses really has personality. The Simple Serif Alphabet is another favorite of mine. There are so many options with uppercase and lowercase, and both available as thin cuts. You can stamp, just use the thin cuts, or use both together!
Products used are all Close to My Heart: Happiness Lives Here Paper + Sticker Sheet, Jan/Feb Mix-in Paper Packet, Winter Penguins Stamp + Thin Cuts, Simple Serif Uppercase Stamp Set, Simple Serif Uppercase Thin Cuts, (the Simple Serif is also available in a bundle), Light Yellow Blend TriBlend Marker, Tan Blend TriBlend Marker, and Paprika Ink, Gold Loose Sequins, Stitched Hexagons Thin Cut.
Now “Hop” on over to Cat Nowak’s Blog to see her work! Be sure to visit all the consultants at their blogs to get some great crafting ideas!

This penguin was perfect for documenting this. I love these alphabet sets too. Great layout, thanks for sharing it.

I love that the penguin reflected the layout so well. I never looked at the Simple Serif bundle before – will need to check it out. Even as a cardmaker, I often times find I could use an alphabet stamp set with thin cuts. Thank you!

Yes, that stamp set would work great on cards as well!

LOVE that font/thin cut and I have the penguins but haven’t inked them up yet. LOVE this layout!
Wendy · 04/14/2021 at 4:07 pm
Funny thing, I started this layout and then realized I didn’t have the penguins so I had to buy them!
