Krista's Crafty Corner: Autumn is arriving, with the September Stamp of the Month- Blog Hop

Welcome to our monthly

Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!

Today we will be featuring September’s Stamp of the Month (SOTM), which is called “Poster Tidings”, a set of 2 BEAUTIFUL stamps.

I LOVE this stamp set, and I see SO MANY possibilities, even though there are only TWO stamps!! I can’t WAIT to see how the rest of these blog hoppers have used this stamp set! J

So, let’s get right to the Blog Hop…

If you have come here from Krista Ritske’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 here HERE…

This month we have over 55 Close To My Heart Consultants sharing their creations using this month's stamp set!!

So, sit back and enjoy your tour as you click on the link at the end of the post to see what EACH Consultant has created!!

I loved BOTH of these stamps in this set, but decided to share my fall card with you today. (You are welcome to come back to my blog later on this month, to see other cards I created with this set!) J

Here is my autumn card…

The Artbooking Cricut cartridge created some fabulous cuts on this card!

Here are the Artbooking keys I used-

The border was created using the F key…

The leaves were created using the B key…

I LOVE the effect the autumn leaves have by cutting the base of the leaf with our Glitter Paper, and then using cardstock for the leaf top!

I also love the look it is to use our PIGMENT inks to stamp on our NEW Jute Ribbon!

How did I get just the word FAMILY inked with our New England Ivy Pigment ink? Use a sponge dauber!!!

I was excited when I remembered a card fold I haven’t used in a while….so I used it on this card!!! Check it out!!

Look at all of the extra room to write something J, or I could have added some more leaves inside too!

I hope this has inspired you to try your own tri-fold card! Measurements for this card are 5 1/2” x 10 1/4”. Then you will score your card base at 4 1/4” and 7 1/4”…ta-da! J
