May 2015 Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! We will be featuring May's SOTM, which is Just Sayin', a set of 14 stamps.  This is a great set for scrapbooking, journaling and even cards.

If you have come here from Michelle Loncar's Blog, you are on the right path!  This month we have close to 70 Close To My Heart Consultants sharing their creations using this month's SOTM and other great CTMH products on their blogs. This is simple to do - just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move to the next one! Here we go.....

Here is what I made:

I was a bit uncertain about what to do with this set and then I sat down a looked at the the shapes and knew I had to make my own background.  I am also really into doodle lined borders lately!!!  I put Liquid glass on the sentiment of the bottom card so it looks like a vinyl sticker.  Once I got started I really had fun with this set:)

I used the following products:
S1505 Just Saying SOTM
Z2640 Thistle Stamp Pad
Z2642 Flaxen Stamp Pad
Z2641 Glacier Stamp Pad
Z2105 Black Stamp Pad
1388 Daisy White Cardstock

Treats of Friendship

Okay..can I just say I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Treats of Friendship stamp set and the Blossom and Jackson Papers from the Seasonal Expressions 2 Idea Book!!

I met with my friends and fellow cult members for our monthly play day. These a some of the cards I made....

I love donuts...especially Krispy Kreme Glazed!!!!  These donuts turned out so cute and yummy.  They are colored with my ShinHan markers and I applied Liquid Glass to the sprinkles.  I stamped the background with the Assorted Edges Stamps set. I also had to add the doodle border....lovin these borders lately!!  Below are cards I made by paper piecing the cups, adding my doodle borders and then adding different details to each.  

I had so much fun making these!!!

Seasonal Expressions 2 Bloghop

Oh boy....I am so excited about the Seasonal Expression 2 Catalog ...there are so many beautiful new products. 

There are over 40 of us Close to My Heart consultants that are taking part in this hop show so off the new products.  So grab some coffee and hop along.  If you came here from Priscilla Gotham's Blog you are on the right track.

Here is what I made using some of the new products...

I used the Blossom Paper Pack, and the Treats of Friendship Stamp set (LOVE this set).  I paper pieced the cup and colored the coffee and the heart with my Shinhan markers.  I used the Marvy Uchida LePen to make a whimsical frame around my stamped image.  

On this card I used one the Hostess Exclusive Stamp sets called Paper Bird, it is a beautiful set with a bird, butterfly and heart in text.  I stamped the butterfly with VersaMark and embossed with our clear embossing powder and then sponged on Crystal Blue ink and edged it with Smoothie ink.  I embossed the sentiment with white powder and used the Blossom Assortment Butterfly.  I used a Signo Uniball pen to draw the trail of the butterfly.  Below are the insides of the cards.
