January Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Happy New Year!!

 Welcome to my blog!  You are on the trail of the January Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!  If you have come from Maureen's blog, you are going to right way.  If you get lost along the way, here is a list of all the hoppers to get you back on track.

This month, we are showcasing Cross-Stitch Wishes (S1401).  A set of 13 stamps of hearts, sentiments and more.  

 I made two cards for this hop using several of the stamps found in the set.  Colors used are: Ruby, Lagoon and Honey.  I also used Baker's Twine for a little accent.  Easy Peasy!

Here is a look at the stamp set.  Can't you just imagine all of the things you can create with this set?  Now hop on over to Michelle's blog to see what she has created.  I'm wishing you a wonderful year ahead with a lot of crafting and great times with family and friends.

Frosted & the Christmas Village

I dug out the little Cuddlebug for the background on this card.  I have a snowflake folder, so I ran a piece of Colonial White CS through and then sponged on a bit of Desert Sand Ink.  This is the Frosted Paper Pack and I used the Frosted Grey Card Stock that only comes with this pack.  The "sweet shoppe" from Christmas Village (D1554) is colored with our Watercolor Pencils.  The building and sentiment are stamped with Desert Sand and a couple of Tan Sparkles are there too.

Thanks for visiting today,

Another Turkey

In exactly a week, I will be cooking a turkey and some of the fixin's that go with it.  I don't have to have the whole meal, but I am responsible for the star of the show.  Wish me luck, I am going to need it.
Supplies:
Sarita Paper Pack, Autumn Terracotta, Goldrush and Colonial White Card Stock, Autumn Terracotta Ink, Perfect Fit-Thanksgiving ((1427), Antiqued Gold Mini-Medleys, Wooden Mini Medleys (hemp baker's twine) Just Blooms Floret Paper Shapes, Cricut Artiste

Enjoy your turkey day!

Perfect Fit-Thanksgiving

I am trying to use colors that I don't normally use.  Because I am color challenged, I would not put a warm color like Barn Red with a cool color like Slate.  I know, I know...... but remember I stay with the "safe" stuff.  Or usually do.  Close To My Heart has broadened my view on things.  I get excited when I work with these colors.  Who knew!

Supplies:
Perfect Fit-Thanksgiving (B1427), Geometric Backgrounds (D1559), Whisper and Barn Red Ink, Barn Red, Slate, Black and Colonial White Card Stock, B&T (retired) and Bronze Shimmer Trim.  The turkey was cut out using the Cricut Artiste.

Make it with Heart!

Snow Much Fun

This little stamp set is so cute.  There are 3 adorable snowmen, who will really make you smile.  I used the Frosted Paper Pack here.  This paper is one of my favorites.  It was almost hard for me to use, because it is soooo pretty.  The colors remind me of a cloudy, snowy day....or the beach in winter.  I have never been to the beach in the winter, but this is what I imagine it looking like.  Anyway, this is great paper, love it!

Supplies:

Frosted Paper Pack, Flakey Friends (C1506), Slate Ink, Clear Sparkle 

and a snowflake punch (non CTMH)

A Trio of Cards

This poinsettia was made using the Cricut AP cartridge.  As with the other one, I reduced the size and layered.  The Happy Holidays sentiment is from Merry & Bright (C1510).  The bling in the middle is a retired clear flower.

 Merry & Bright here, with the ribbon and bird paper pieced.  I think it adds a bit extra, don't you think?

And finally, Santa Claus (C1567) with the presents, sleigh and Santa paper pieced.  The sentiment is popped up, to give even more dimension.  I hope this has given you a little bit of inspiration for your cards this year.

Spirit of Christmas

 Here is a card made using the Merry & Bright Stampset and the Sparkle and Shine Paper Pack. The designs for several of the cards I have been posting have come from Make It From Your Heart, Vol.1.  

The poinsettia was made using the Cricut Artiste, and gradually reducing the size of each layer.  There are 4 layers of the flower.  I used the Licorice Opaques for the center of the flower.

Thanks for looking,
Kim
