October Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Pin It

Welcome to the October Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! Over 60 consultants post different ideas using the stamp set and you can hop from blog to blog viewing these terrific ideas. You can start here or on any of the participating blogs and eventually you loop around to them all. If you came here from Beth Naumann's blog then you are on the right track. Let's get started! Here the little gifty item I made using one piece of 6x6 Pear & Partridge paper. It is so easy!



You simply take one piece of 6x6 cardstock (I love how Close to My Heart's cardstock is printed!)
  1. Place the cardstock diagnolly in front of you
  2. Put a chocolate candy in the center
  3. Use the candy as a guide and fold the left and right corners in toward the center
  4. Glue/tape your top corner over the other flap to hold it in place
  5. Flip it over and fold the whole thing in half
Thanks for looking! Now please leave a comment if you'd like and then  hop on over to Jen Patrick's Blog for more! Pin It

CTMH National Stamping Month Card

Pin It
Here is another card using the National Stamping Month: "It's Your Day" Stamp Set. My new downline, Julianne, and I got together today to go over what we would show at her first gathering and this is what we came up with. We used the beautiful Avonlea Workshop on the Go Kit that came in her consultant kit along with the National Stamping Month Special. The butterfly is stamped in Slate ink onto a scrap piece of Colonial White Cardstock and a Mocha Pearl Adhesive Gem is added at the top. It is cut out and a piece of foam tape makes it pop up from the card. The little swish stamp is from the stamp set that comes with the WOTG kit and it also stamped with Slate ink. We inked it up, stamped on our scratch paper, then onto the card to create a "2nd generation" lighter effect. The saying is stamped with Chocolate ink toward the bottom/right.  Love it!

Cricut Halloween Bag

Pin It
 

We made this fun Halloween bag at my team meeting on Monday. The Artiste Cricut Cartridge cut out the bag from black cardstock and it was really easy to put together. After the bag was cut with the Cricut, I used the sanding block to distress the edges. Then I used the stamp set that comes with the Moonlight Workshop on the Go kit to stamp onto the coordinating papers and then topped it off by adding the sparkles to the scallops. 

Ingredients
3 1/8" x 4 1/8" Slate Cardstock
3" x 4" Green/Purple B&T (the orange owl pattern is on the other side)
3/4" x 1 1/2" Goldrush Cardstock
Acrylic Blocks
Black Ink Pad
Smoky Plum Ink Pad
Sponge Dauber
6" Black Waxy Flax
Foam Tape
Sanding Block
Sparkles from WOTG
Piercing Tool
Liquid Glass
Tombow Adhesive
Bone Folder
1/8" hole punch
Corner Rounder
12" Black Tulle Ribbon
