The details in this stamp are fine and clear. It totally lends itself to just being stamped and still being the hero. Choose a blend of colours. I chose Chocolate, Desert Sand and Bamboo Exclusive ink pads and a few stamping techniques and allowed the images to stand out. The card would not be complete with out a flower.....the small flower from "Happy Birds" C1600
1. Take the 2x2 Acrylic block and ink it with Bamboo ink.....stamp on blank colonial white card 4 times.....this gives the rustic background. 2. Using Chocolate Ink pad stamp the woodgrain frame over each of these rustic background squares. Using a cut out of the frame as a mask, random stamp the flowers with both 1st and 2nd generation stamping and Desert Sand ink pad. Stamp the caption from the SOTM stamp set at the base of the card.
Choose a different colour palette and make it look different.

We have these great mini albums that will make a great gift just as it is or filled with photos and encouraging words for a dear friend or family member......just a little decorated. They come in black or Kraft. I used this stamp set to decorate the front cover of the Kraft mini album. The best way to do this is to load the large 4x5 inch Acrylic block with multiple stamps....arrange as desired.
Choose an Exclusive ink stamp pad colour.....Ponderosa Pine and stamp images onto colonial white cardstock. My cardstock was mounted onto a 6x4 card from the Picture My Life Hopscotch pack. These cards are a great compliment to this album as they just slip into the sleeves included....quick and easy to decorate.
The 'love this' heart stamp was added after the large block was stamped and the masking technique was used to add the arrow to the image. Stamped with Sunset Exclusive ink stamp pad.
Using Smoothie striped Washi tape add the decorated cardstock to the cover of the mini album...the colour matches the Hopscotch palette perfectly.
Simple and effective, quick and easy too. The Hopscotch Al A Carte Hopscotch Picture My Life cards are a great addition to this album for quick decorating and the 3x4 Flip Flaps make it easy to add more photos or more journalling too.
Create great gifts for friends and family....better than a card.......reflect on 2014.....set your plans for 2015.....Go for it!!!

Today I would like to share with you a beautiful tag that substitutes well for a card and features November Stamp of the Month ....It's the Little Things http://wendyhopper.ctmh.com.au/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8219&ci=1760 available exclusively throughout November for $27 or for just $5 when you spend $75.

Sometimes we just want to express ourselves simply and this stamp set allows that......great wishes!.....'Just for you' and 'Congratulations' are often not heard enough. Spend a few minutes making some great little tags for those special moments. The combinations are endless!
This tag is cut from the CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge in whisper and slate......slate is cut .25 larger than the whisper tag. In order to design my flowers I cut assorted sizes of daisy white cardstock.....1.5 inch, 1.75 inch and 2 inch squares. I then stamped a variety of colours and different flower images onto these cards. Choose a colour palette you enjoy and stamp away.
Once you have a selection of flower images take your non stick micro tip scissors and sit with a cuppa and fussy cut them all out....it really is quite relaxing. If you don't have our CTMH non stick micro tip scissors then treat yourself to a wonderful Christmas gift and order some.....you wont be disappointed.
Take the cut tags and using Whisper ink and a dauber, distress the edges of the tag and any flowers that you would like to add depth and character to.
Arrange your flower images...stamp the wording and adhere to top tag....use some 3D foam adhesive to add depth as well. Decorate with Itty Bitty Sparkles and Red enamel hearts. Using the Slate Diagonal striped ribbon.....cut a 6 inch strip and loop through the hole at the top. Once your tag is all decorated and adhered then adhere the top tag to the base for a wonderful gift tag.
"It's the Little Things" Stamp of the Month is only available until 30th November from your CTMH consultant. I'd love you to leave a comment and follow my blog before heading off to the next stop, Shaunna's Blog.

Home for the Holidays S1410 : CTMH Stamp of the Month Australasian Blog Hop
Hello and welcome aboard our Stamp of the month Australasian Close to My Heart Blog Hop. If you have arrived here from Britt's page http://
Today I would like to share with you this set of tags and a peak-a-boo card that features October Stamp of the Month ....Home for the Holidays http://wendyhopper.ctmh.com.au/retail/category.aspx available exclusively throughout October for $27 or for just $5 when you spend $75.
When I looked at this stamp set I loved it but I struggled with an idea that would pass just the regular tag or baubles. This set is great for the Cricut lovers in that most of the images have a Cricut cut....just cut and stamp...so easy and saves time with fussy cutting. Check out the Art Philosophy Cricut collection exclusive to CTMH.
One of my greatest joys, right now, is a 17 month old grandson and one of his greatest joys are cards or books that have flaps or peak-a-boo's so check out my Peak a boo....flap gift card that is sure to delight all our little people.
One of our amazing products for both scrapbookers and card makers are 'Flip Flaps'.....they are clear pockets that have an adhesive strip that enables you to add additional photos or decorations. The little tag stamp that says....'Do not open until 25th December' was just great for a flip flap. When you lift the flap you see the cute polar bear all ready for Christmas.
This is the basic card stamped with Outdoor denim ink and mounted on Outdoor denim cardstock. Take a 2.25 x 2 inch piece of glacier cardstock and stamp the tag image onto it....place it in the smallest flip flap....stamp the polar bear on a piece of 2.5 x 2.5 glacier cardstock....this was precut on the Art Philosophy cartridge...details are listed on the stamp carrier sheet. Add the flip flap to the polar bear image...he is now hiding!!!.....then mount the whole piece on a 3x3 card base.
If you want to add a bit of sparkle then mount the flip flap onto white cardstock and using the red shimmer trim place a 3 inch piece on each edge...mitre the corners so it looks neater.
Silver shimmer trim also adds a sparkle on the ruby cardstock.....
As you will see there are some amazing projects that you can make using this Stamp of the Month so make sure you purchase $75 worth of products so you can get yours for $5.

Today I would like to share with you this card idea that features September Stamp of the Month Family is Forever available exclusively throughout September for $27 or for just $5 when you spend $75.
This is an amazing stamp set and so useful for many ideas as you will have seen from this blog hop. It was easy to see the large images and focus on them so I chose the smaller images of the heart and the 'sweet moments' sentiment. I used a few of my favourite products here. Our wonderful embossing folders add a great addition to any project and I chose the Quatrefoil embossing folder. The hero of this card is the adhesive red shimmer trim. I have never been a fan of glitter as I dont like mess but this has the sparkle without any mess....check it out in all 10 colours. The shimmer trim borders the card before the separate embossed piece is added to the card. The heart image is also embossed....wet embossing with clear embossing powder and the heat gun. This gives a gloss and shine with some clear definition. The cute little stamp hearts add a finishing touch and then the red enamel hearts.just give it that added pizzazz!
The stamped images are added to the card with the 3D foam tape..... With a few products and the blank card and envelope set from Close To My Heart, you can make amazing projects.....so have a go!
