Christmas time is coming & this is a WONDERFUL month to start preparing...AND....our ADORABLE Stamp of the Month can help do that!! 

Take a look at the card I created for this month's blog hop....  

I wish you could see this in person...the sparkle & shine "make" the card!!  

When I think of Christmas cards, I often like to do something "non-traditional"...and that's what I chose to do today, with the Sapphire & Silver Foil cardstocks.  

Do you want to guess where the silver foil, dotted, background came from? 

I used our BRAND NEW Picture My Life (PML) - Silver & Gold collection!!  It's a BEAUTIFUL collection & comes with 18-4x6 and 18-4x3 cards where half of them are silver or gold foil decorated! 

I used the WHITE embossing powder for the wreath & O holy night & matted the Sapphire 3 1/4" square with our NEW silver foil paper, and then "popped" it all with our 3D foam tape.   

The sparkly & shiny Glitter gems on the banner, came from the "Beary Christmas Dots" collection & there is a touch of Silver Shimmer Trim near the bottom of the card.

October Stamp of the Month- Home for the Holidays

What a FUN stamp set we have to share with you this month!! 

Welcome to our MONTHLY Stamp of the Month (SOTM) Blog Hop!!

If you have come here from Dana Kessler's Blog and saw her BEAUTIFUL creations, you are on the right track!!

This month, we will be featuring the EXCLUSIVE October SOTM stamp set called “Home for the Holidays”.

This blog hop is a great big circle, so if you can start here & work your way around this circle!  If you get lost along the way, you’ll find a complete list of PARTICIPATING CONSULTANTS by clicking HERE…

This month we have OVER 70 Close To My Heart Consultants that will be sharing items they have created using this month’s stamp set!  So, sit back & enjoy your tour as you click on the link at the end of the post to see what EACH consultant has created!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here is the card I created this month.J

The polar bear was so adorable, I couldn't resist using him - even though he will be a popular one to use in this stamp set!!

For my first card, I chose to use the Snowhaven Paper pack from CTMH.  Take a look at these beautiful papers!!!

I used our Make It From Your Heart book #1, pattern 24 for my card designs.

I also decided to pull out my spray pen & some whisper re-inker mixed with water to add some “texture” to the background of this card.  I love the soft touch it gave this card!

I LOVE the fact that this stamp set IS Cricut Compatible!! 

Did you notice the images outlined in RED on the stamp set image?  Those RED lines tell us that those shapes coordinate with one of our

FOUR Exclusive Cricut Cartridges at CTMH!! 

I also pulled in another favorite winter stamp set of mine - Perfect Fit-Holidays for those “extra words” - WARMEST WISHES.

Isn’t this stamp set a PERFECT fit? LOL!!

I enjoy using our EMBOSSING FOLDERS…and this time I used the Striped folder!! 
But...there are no stripes!!  Did you notice??  I turned my paper in the folder, and instead of stripes I now have DIAGONAL!!!

As I was finishing up this card, I had another thought (dangerous, I know! J )…what would this card design look like if I traded out Snowhaven paper with the BRUSHED paper???  This is the result of that thought. 

I hope you enjoyed my card, and it has inspired YOU to get creating on your own!!  J 

Here is a list of Products I used on these cards in case you'd like to create one of your own!  

X7188B Snowhaven Paper

X7190B Brushed Paper

Cranberry Cardstock

Z1960 Honeycomb Embossing Folder 

Z1380 Spray Pen
