Close To My Heart May Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Welcome to the May stamp of the month blog hop.  If you are here from Dawn's blog you are in the right place!  I'm so glad you are here :)

This is a really fun stamp set this month.  You can get this set one of two ways and only in the month of May.

1.  Order directly from your CTMH consultant (my website here) or
2. Place a $50 order with your consultant (my website) and get this set for only $5

I decided to make a shaker/flip card for my husband (his birthday is on May 2nd) with this month's stamp set.   The stamp I used also reminds me of my dear friend who's father passed away - he used to say "I love you to the moon, stars and beyond"

The top of the card has two different kinds of CTMH washi tape (one of my favorite craft products ever!).

The flap/shaker is created using a flip flap sandwiched between two chipboard frames (these come with the Artbooking Cricut bundle and are also available separately).

Thanks for stopping by!  Your next stop on this hop is Pamela's blog.  Happy crafting,

Crazy About Cricut Bday Blogaversary Bash Hop

Welcome to the Crazy About Cricut Blog Hop!  I'm so excited for my friend Jenny and her FIVE year anniversary blogging about things she loves like paper crafting and the Cricut!  I'm a huge fan of hers and am also a tiny bit obsessed with my Cricut machine so I am thrilled to be on this hop celebrating her and her fabulous blog!  In addition we are celebrating her 37th birthday!  Happy Birthday Jenny!!

If you have arrived from Jessica's blog Craftin And Stampin you are in the right place! If not you can start at the very beginning on Jenny's blog Crazy About Cricut!

Today I've created a Robot themed birthday package including a favor (or birthday gift bag), favor bag topper (can be used as food tags on a food table as well), and a birthday card.  The list of supplies used is at the bottom of the post.

First up is the gift bag/favor bag.  I used my CTMH Artiste cartridge (love the CTMH cartridges!
Click here to find out how you can get yours FREE this month) to cut the bag out of this super cute chevron paper.  Then I added a birthday tag and a colored Robot from the
Robot Family stamp set.

The food tags/favor bag tags were very simple.  Just a 4X4 square of pattern paper from the Skylark paper pack folded in half.  I added a piece of white cardstock for the words and then a colored robot kit from the same stamp set.

   Finally the card.  I used a tutorial I found online for a super cute triple slider card that I thought I'd try. 

  Supplies used: Skylark Paper Pack White Cardstock Pear Cardstock Topiary Chevron Ribbon Robot Family Stamp Set Copic Markers Black Pigment Ink Fundamentals Cardstock (for the bag)

February Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Welcome to the February Stamp of the Month Blog Hop with Close To My Heart.  If you have arrived from  Michelle's blog you are in the right place!! While I am in love with this stamp set and so excited about all the new product being introduced this month I have yet to create with anything.  We just moved into a new home mid January and just got internet today!  I have been busy busy unpacking and organizing but have not had one moment to create anything yet which makes me a little sad.

Anyway, this adorable stamp set can be purchased from your consultant or on my website this month for $17.95 or for $5 with a $50 purchase.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the hop!  Your next stop is Traci!

Let It Snow Blog Hop

**Crafty Chicks Blog Hop post if you are looking for it***

Welcome to the Let It Snow Blog Hop!  You should have arrived from Carolyn's blog and this is the last stop on our hop.  You can go to Lisa's blog to start at the beginning :)

Our theme is snow and I created a snowy decoration for my home.  I used my Artbooking Cricut cartridge to cut out the Merry & Bright from glitter paper and a piece of the striped paper from my Sparkle & Shine paper pack.

The snowflakes were also cut with the same cartridge and strung with some cranberry baker's twine.  The frame was from the Dollar store and the sentiment was pasted onto a piece of Ruby red cardstock.

I hope you enjoyed the hop and have a very merry & bright holiday!  I'm giving away a sparkling prize package of Close To My Heart goodies for this hop.  Just visit my website and then come back and tell me your favorite item from the Holiday Gift Guide (I will pick a winner from the comments and announce here and on my facebook page next week December 14th)
