Here is a look at this month's EXCLUSIVE stamp set!!
Look at all those FUN borders!! 💗

Yes...these cards are basically the same---with two differences we'll talk about below.
1. The first difference😊 --- the outer black frame of the card.
For the card on the left, I used my Stitched Rectangle Thin Cut to cut out the black cardstock. After adhering it to the card front, I then coated the frame with our Clear Shimmer Brush. It's so pretty in person.
2. The second difference -- Majestic Holographic paper. I chose to center the stamped background on the right card, and the LEFT card, you can see a bit MORE of this GORGEOUS, holographic paper. It always AMAZES me how this paper changes color, according to what colors you place with it.
See the "orange/pink" color around the outside?? So, so fun, when you turn the card in the light! It changes color!!😊
It's always a "challenge" to myself, to use as MANY stamp images as possible on my project. 😉
To do that with this stamp of the month, I had this idea ---I'll create my OWN background!!
Out came my white embossing powder, my anti-static pouch, Versamark ink & my heat tool. These stamps are a bit "shorter" than I liked for an entire background, but I was determined to make it work!
After my heat embossing was complete, I then pulled in some of our LOVELY Distress Oxide inks! I used 3 different colors --- Peacock Feathers, Mowed Lawn & Chipped Sapphire.
It is SO NEAT that CTMH created coordinating Shaker frames & acetate sheets to coordinate with our Rectangle & Square Stitched Frame Thin cuts!! It makes it a BREEZE to turn ANY card into a Shaker! Our NEWEST confetti is the Iridescent Flower sequins---aren't they BEAUTIFUL??
I really liked the small, stitched banner in this set too --and was determined to use it! LOL!! I was even able to add the heart image too! The Green Apple banner was one I cut myself & used my journaling pen to draw an outline.

I ADORE our Winter Penguin stamp/thin cut bundle we currently carry!! These guys are SO Popular & I won't be surprised when they sell out early! 💗 How CUTE are they??
I pulled in my Intense Black ink, along with my Tri-Blend Spectrum Noir alcohol markers to give this guy some color.
Take notice of the "love" stamped inside the balloon --- can you find this image on the February Stamp of the Month stamp set? 😉😁 After coloring in the balloon, I used some Icicle Stickles Glitter Glue to give it a bit of sparkle & shine.
I decided to finish the INSIDE of my card, but stamping the CUTE wording...and then using 2nd generation stamping with Green Apple & Lagoon inks for the images.
