Pair-A-Phrase Blog Hop!

This is a new hop for the August Special!

A group of us consultants decided to show off this great Free Stamp SetS!  (yes, that's 2 in one pouch!)

You should be coming from Lisa's Blog, if not, keep hopping and you will do a complete circle!

Here's the stamp sets:

Here is a few 3x3 cards that I want to use for thank you cards for orders and other things:

 I used our markers to color all of these cards. I think if you click the photos you can see the 2 colors on the flowers giving them more color.

 I used 2 different color blues to create a shading on the ribbon.

I have tiny Sparkles on some of the snowflakes.

Thanks for looking, now hop over to Lori's Blog for more great ideas for these stamps!

August Stamp Of The Month - Wicked Blog Hop!

Can you Believe it's August???

This month's Stamp of the Month Blog Hop is Wicked! I love the stamp set!  The lady witch is neat and all the other stamps as well!  You should be coming from Sheila's Blog, if not, you can keep hopping and you will do a complete circle.

My cards are very simple because my stamps came late due to Convention - but that's totally worth it!

 

here She is!  I added some Citrus Leaf lines to fill in and as some color.

A nice fuzzy close up!

The left inside - that is a broom stamp that I added a few lines with our markers!

I added the boxes to add text later to and the little kitty - the cat's eye are green like my kitty!

The next card I used the octagon pattern to create the green edge on the bottom.
I then stamped the lines over it the pattern.

Gypsy paper, Choco ink for the colors. 

The hat I cut out because the stamp has swirls all around it.

July Stamp of the Month - American Celebration

July - Already!

Can't believe it's that far into the SUMMER!

You should be hopping over from Nicole's blog, if you are starting here, keep hopping and you will do a complete circle - please leave comments often - we love comments :) !

This month we have American Celebration Stamp Set (D1458)

Great for the holiday!

This first card I did was simple and with lots of stars. 

 I used a sponge dobber to create circles by making small soft circles.  I then stamped the flag and cut out the pieces and glued them onto the stars.

My second card was a little more, but still lots of stars! 

I did the fire crackers on the bottom and then added the baby stars above. I sponged a little blue from the fire cracker to the stars and around the stars - made it look softer.  The stars are in two colors Crystal blue with Pacifica dobbed here and there on the stamp prior to stamping.  Followed up with some Glitter Glue to make them sparkle - Click the photo to see it bigger! 

Then the red stars where added and I cut out a few of them and used foam squares to make them pop off the card. The celebrate is done the same way.  Glitter Glue is all over the big red stars - the bled a litttle - they still look good once they fully dried.

Now, head over to Carl's Blog to see her great work with this stamp set!

Forgotten Post - Cards from CTMH Meeting

In May we had a Consultant Meeting and we did something a little different.  Instead of a card swap we all did a make and take!  So at the meeting we ended up finishing 4 cards!  Here are those cards:

 This slides out of the top of the card to show the message.

 The grapes are 2 shades of purple and the boarder below is our Kraft Boarders

 We put glitter on the back sticky side and then glued the front to the card.

 Fun flowers we made - this was my card that I demontrated.

 White embossing powder on white makes it a great card for a wedding.
