Welcome to the Stamp of
the Month Blog Hop! This time around we're featuring the February set
Thoughtful Tidings (S1202) which includes 10 stamps. If you have come here
from Kristine's
blog,
you are on the right path. The Blog Hop is a great big circle so you can start
here and work your way around. If you get lost along the way, you’ll find a complete
list of participating consultants here.
There are over 50 Close To
My Heart Consultants sharing their creations using the February Stamp of the
Month and other great CTMH products on their blogs. This month is especially
exciting because all of the projects include new product! The Spring/Summer
2012 Idea Book became available February 1st!
Here is the
Stamp of the Month. Such a versatile set!
I hadn't made a swap card
with Elemental yet so it was the perfect choice for this month's card. (As part
of my swap group assignment I had to choose a paper pack that carried over from
the Fall/Winter Idea Book, so that’s why I didn’t use new paper.) I wanted to
cut my card base using the Art Philosophy cartridge and decided to go with the
same shape as the stamp image I wanted to use. I thought the little
pop of blue (Pacifica) was a nice finishing touch.
The photo didn’t
really capture how I did the sentiment very well. I actually stamped it in
Olive on the coordinating shape, and then I stamped just the “thank” in
Chocolate on a 1/2” x 1 1/2” piece. I used a piece of 3-D Foam Tape to pop it
up.

The first weekend in February was a very snowy one here in Colorado, so we were unable to have our monthly unit meeting. We all mailed our cards to each other, and I took photos, but then I forgot to add them to my post until now. Sorry for the delay!
We have two separate
groups participating in our Stamp of the Month swap, but the cards are all so
great that we want to share them all.
Now "Hop" on over to Kathleen's blog to see her work, and be sure to visit each consultant's blog to get some great crafting inspiration and other fun ideas! Don't forget, this exclusive stamp set is only available until February 29th! Contact me to get yours today!
