Love so Sweet - April SOTM BH

Welcome to the April Stamp of the Month Blog hop. Each month, on the first of the month several CTMH consultants come together and share a project (or two or three) that we have created using the newest monthly Stamp of the Month. This is a great way to show the versatility of the stamp set, get ideas from consultants all over and see how we all use this stamp set. This stamp set is loaded with 26 super adorable stamps, so there is something for any type of project. I can see it used a lot on both cards and layouts!

 

If you are here you are either joining me from the amazing Wendy Kessler blog or starting here at my blog, either way, welcome, I am thrilled you are here! For my project, I have created a card with some random stamped flowers and butterflies from the Love So Sweet SOTM, I also fussy cut the flowers and some leaves and paired it with the So Much Happy paper. 

Products Used:

Paper:
- So Much Happy
- Mint and White Daisy card stock

Ink:
- Sapphire, Mint, Clover, and Lagoon 

Stamp:
- S1904 Love So Sweet

Thin Cuts:

For this one, I flipped the card on its side from what the sketch shows because I I cut the heart paper the wrong way...oppps! But happy mistake, it all works out in the end and shows how to switch things up, I still used the sketch but just changed it a bit!

Hip Hip Hooray - H2H Challenge

Hello! Today I have another fun challenge from the Heart 2 Heart Design team. The challenge for this week is a super easy and fun one, it is all about your favourtie tool...that it is it. What is your favourtie thing to use and no we do not mean scissors or paper trimmers, we all love those but what is one thing you find you reach for more than others?

For me it is kind of a tie between my cuttlebug and Thin Cuts versus my cutting machines...my Cricut and Silhouette. I chose to go with Thin Cuts and Cuttlebug because they are so super convenient for a quick project I dont need to get my computer out and and log in. I just grab my thin cut, the paper, cutting plates and away I go. So while I do love my electronic machines for bigger jobs, on a day to day go to...my Thin Cuts with the Cuttlebut always win out. 

So here is what I created:

Paper:

- So Much Happy

- White Daisy, Candy Apple, and Lemon card stock

Ink:

- Sapphire

Thin Cuts:

- Z3348 Scallop Border

- Z3345 Basic Banners

- Z4187 Stitched Ovals

- Z3328 Basic Ovals

Stamp:

- D1474 Card Chatter Birthday (retired)

Embellishments:

- Clear Sparkles

If you would like to play along with us at H2H challenges we would love that. The rules are simple, just upload a project that has the theme incorporated some how and has at least 1 Close to my Heart (CTMH) product in it, thats it. To link up, just click here!

Until next time, happy crafting!
