I used the stamp of the month to create my ‘you and me’ card below.  I used re-inker in one of our spray pens to add some texture to my white cardstock- I kept all my colours in the teal and orange family (I love the look this gave the card).  For my pennants I used a mix of patterned papers from Skylark, cardstock and some of our current background and texture stamps to stamp a pattern.  I finished it off with some bakers twine and a sparkle- LOVE it!

Spring/Summer CTMH Idea Book Reveal: Day 15

Welcome to the last day! Today I get to sit back and wait to see how much hostess rewards we have to give away to our Grand Prize winner! I cannot wait- be sure to check back tomorrow to see who it is!

Today I wanted to showcase a card and a stamp set- CTMH has some of the cutest stamps!  The paper is one you have seen before – maybe it is my actual favourite pack since I seem to use it so much- Skylark! I actually have mixed in two stamp sets on this card- one which is an upcoming stamp of the month (the word bubble) and the ‘Owls’ stamp set.  To create my colourful owl I stamped the branch and the owl on a variety of papers (they are from a few different paper packs).  I then cut out the pieces I wanted and pieced them together- paper piecing! I love how it all turned out in the end.

To start the fun I want to share a project I initially created for an upcoming blog hop- I wasn’t sure if my new site would be up and running in time so I am not participating this month but still want to share my project with you!  February’s stamp of the month is a set called Wild Thing- the moment I saw it I fell in LOVE! My kid’s did too! They have been singing ‘What does the Fox say?’ for months and this was just perfect!

With this cute stamp in hand (and a small sampling of NEW Spring/Summer Idea book papers) I set out to create a Flip Stand Album.

I used washi tape (who doesn’t love washi) to add some pizzazz to my pages and of course cricut cuts- this cartridge coordinates with our Art Philosophy cartridge.  The theme of love also allowed me to use up some of the red accessories I had leftover from all my Christmas crafting!
