December Stamp of the Month Blog Hop - A Little Bit of Pun

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

If you have come here from Darlys' Blog, you are on the right track!!

This month, we will be featuring the EXCLUSIVE December SOTM stamp set called "A Little Bit of Pun". 

This blog hop is a great big circle, so you can START HERE & work your way around to the many consultants on this “hop”! If you get lost along the way, you’ll find a complete list of PARTICIPATING CONSULTANTS by clicking HERE…

This month we have 20 Close To My Heart Consultants that will be sharing items using this month’s stamp set.  So, sit back & enjoy your tour as you click on the link at the end of each post to see what EVERY consultant has created.

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

Here is this months EXCLUSIVE stamp set, that you can get for ONLY $5 with your $50 CTMH purchase in December.

This stamp set is being released....just in time for the upcoming Valentine's celebration - however...these cute icons can be used for OTHER fun creations too!!  

Here is the card I created for today. 

I used our BEAUTIFUL Basics Fundamentals paper collection & some of our "Color of the Year" - Bashful cardstock. 

Is this card design familiar to you? It's from one of our current WYW Cardmaking kits in our Holiday Expression mini-book.  

I used 2 sets of Thin Cuts for this card...our Banner Thin Cuts & Circle Thin Cuts.  Love how easy it makes this! 
And take note of the left side of the card - I embossed the Bashful Cardstock with our 5x7 Buffalo Plaid Embossing Folder. I just adore the dimension embossing folders bring to our cards! 

  

Take a look at the scallop edging that is stamped on the circle.  This stamp comes from the Kind Thoughts WYW Cardmaking kit. This stamp set can ONLY be purchased with the entire kit....and it's a beautiful stamp that I know I'll use quite often!  

For the stamped white hearts, I used our White Daisy pigment ink to make them "pop" on the card, and then added some gold glitter gems to tie it all together. 

Here is a close up of the cupcake...yes, it's "fussy cut" (using a scissors & cutting around the cupcake by hand)....but take notice of the FUN shimmer on the cupcake.  Our Shimmer Brush adds so much sparkle, shine & design to our creations!!  If you haven't used these amazing brushes, talk to you your CTMH consultant! :)   

 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This month we have  20 Close To My Heart Consultants sharing items they created using these FABULOUS items.   This hop is simple to do - just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move to the next one! Wahoo!! 

Here we go!

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

Today lets take a look at this layout ...

I chose to use our Basics Fundamentals papers and pair it with our "Color of the Year"....Bashful :)  (see details on the Fundamentals SALE below) 

I also used the fabulous You Are Here Cricut collection...if you haven't heard the news....Provo Craft has decided to DISCONTINUE all physical Cricut cartridges!!  So that means from now on - ONLY digital cartridges...and that means our Exclusive, CTMH cartridges are on a while supplies last basis.  Learn more by clicking HERE!

Let's take a closer look at this layout....

The "Rest & Relax" wording were found on page 19 of this cartridge book & the feathers were from page 42.  If you'd like to view ALL 700 images of this cartridge - CLICK HERE...it is an AMAZING collection once again!!

For the title, I cut it out in Black Cardstock & then was able to cut just the "Relax" in our Bashful GLITTER paper...such a beautiful touch!!

You can see this page is VERY simple...but pretty.  The basics Fundamentals have that effect...so subtle, yet BEAUTIFUL!!  

Here's a close up of just the words....

On the other side of the page, I cut some simple images again (book- pg. 42...coffee cup- page 47) 

Did you notice the CLEAR overlays?? These are made for your pocket scrapbooking - however, they are GREAT for regular scrapbook pages (or even card fronts) too!!  This clear "transparency" with the rose design will be an extra touch to a photo that is placed behind it. :) 

To finish up this layout, I added a few of our Bashful colored pearls, & the beautiful gray/gold ribbon from the Basic Fundamentals Ribbon collection. 

---------------------------------------------------------------
So..that SALE I mentioned earlier...you won't WANT to miss out!!
ALL of our FUNDAMENTALS collections are on SALE!!  Whether you decide to get a 30% discount on individual items OR...when you choose the BUNDLE of items - you will get a whopping 40% off!!!  Wahooo!!!!

  Make sure to talk with your CTMH Consultant to get all the details!!  If you don't have a current consultant - feel free to contact me by clicking here.  

That's all for today....thanks for stopping by, and I hope you were inspired to go CREATE something on your own! :)
