Family Tree ~ Family is Forever

Hi & welcome!! 

Today I want to share some cards using September’s Stamp of the Month stamp set. 

If you recall, this stamp set is called Family is Forever…

it is Cricut Compatible (the red shaped heart can be cut from our Artiste cartridge)

and can be yours for ONLY $5 with a $50 CTMH purchase!

This stamp set is adorable, & I can’t wait to share some cards with you today - using this stamp set!!

I participate in a card swap each month.  So these ADORABLE cards are created by my fellow consultants.

Take a peek….
How simple, but elegant!!  She used Whisper ink, and a touch of red…how BEAUTIFUL!!



Look at the touch of sparkle she used too….bitty sparkles & a large clear sparkle too.

Take a look at this design - a TOTALLY different card, without using the tree at all!!

See the dry embossing on the Whisper cardstock?

Notice the details…

The white embossed hearts

The silver embossed “Love”

Silver Shimmer Trim

Just BEAUTIFUL!!!

Here is a 5 1/2” x 4 1/4” standard size card, and I think Sarah did a GREAT job!!  I really like how she focused on the wording…but yet still used that beautiful tree as part of the background!! 

I hope this has inspired you, and given you some great ideas for your September Stamp of the Month stamp set!!

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I really like the images on this stamp set, but wasn’t sure how to use them at first. J

 

So, off to my Handy-Dandy Wishes How-To book to decide on a pattern!

I looked at the “Medallion” pattern in the 5x7 section & decided to to go with that to give myself a bit more room in creating with this larger stamped image. 

Take a peek at my card I created…

As I thought of Family - I think of Heritage…and therefore brought in the neutral colors with a touch of color.

I used TWO different paper packs - Snowhaven & Yuletide,both winter/Christmas paper packs,  for the designer papers. 

I also wanted to add dimension to the card, so I used the hearts as accents &
popped them up with our fabulous 3D Foam tape - now available in 2 different thicknesses!

Here is a close up shot…

I really enjoy our NEW embossing folders, and because our folders are the 5x7 size - it was PERFECT to add to the bottom of the card!! 

The embossed honeycomb shape was a perfect compliment for this piece.I inked the edges in Champagne ink…just to give it a touch of color. 

In the new Idea Book (Annual Inspirations) you will see that we have added another 4 designs to our 5x7 embossing folder collection!!

I hope this has inspired you & allows you to see ANOTHER way this EXCLUSIVE stamp set can be used!!   J
