July Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!
We will be featuring July's SOTM, which is
"Happy Forever."

If you have come here from Judy's Blog, you are on the right path!
If a link is broken or you get lost go to Helen's Blog and continue on your journey with the link listed there. 

This month we have 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!

This clear card was made with the Wishes "Down the Middle" pattern on pg. 35.  It uses the Twitterpated Paper Pack, Sorbet, Chocolate, Colonial White Cardstock, Sorbet & Chocolate Ink, Versa Mark Ink pad, Autumn Soft Chalks and Liquid glass.

For the porcupine I did the technique of Chalk popping.  I stamped this cute little guy with Versa Mark and then used my chalks in the Autumn set of chalks to color him in.   I used the Liquid Glass on the butterfly to give it some dimension. 

This 2nd card is also another clear card.  I used the Originals "Pretty Simple" pattern on pg. 116 to make this card.  I used the Veranda Creative Basics Paper pack, Garden Green & Juniper Cardstock, Juniper Ink, Versa Mark, Autumn Soft chalks and Liquid glass.

For this card I also did the Chalk Popping Technique.  I used the Versa Mark pad to stamp the porcupine and balloons and then used the chalks to color them in.  I used the Liquid glass around the balloons and on the hearts on the sentiment.

Now "Hop" on over to Brae's Blog to see her work! Be sure to visit all the Consultants at their Blogs to get some great crafting ideas and other fun ideas!

Father's Day Cards

Here are a couple more Father's Day cards that I made.

This card I made using the Passages Creative Basics Paper.  It also has Cocoa, Garden Green and Barn Red Cardstock.  I stamped the Dad in Garden Green and then distressed it with Barn Red ink.  The watch was embossed with Cocoa embossing powder.  This is using the June Stamp of the Month.

This next card I gave to my hubby for Father's Day from the the kids and I.  I thought that it turned out pretty well considering that I had limited time to make it in.

I used the Passaged Creative Basics Paper.  I used Garden Green for my base and also used Desert Sand and Colonial white cardstock.  I used the Family Ties- Adult and Kids stamp sets.  I used Copic Markers to color in the images.  This has to be one of my favorite cards that I have made.  I love the colors and the stamp sets.

Enjoy!

Manly Birthday Card

I made this card for my dad to celebrate a special milestone birthday.  I love this stamp set and can't wait to have some time to create a lot more with it. 

I used a clear card and then covered the inside of the card with Desert Sand cardstock.  I then used Twilight and Creme Brulee' cardstock on the front.  I used Cocoa and cut the letters and numbers on my Cricut.  The stamp set is: Beary Busy #C1409.  I used Copic markers to color the truck and the bear in.
