November SOTM Blog Hop- “It’s the Little Things”- Congratulations Card


Welcome to the Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! If you came here from
Donna’s Blog  you are on the right track!

We are featuring the bold  and graphic stamp set, “It’s the Little Things.”  This is a set of 15 stamps that has fun flowers and great sayings.  I was so excited when I saw the sentiment “Congratulations on your exciting news. This set is versatile and I can see using it for years to come.

THE PROJECT

I made card for a god friend of mine who just got engaged to her college sweetheart.  She had a rough first marriage and I couldn’t be happier for her
This card was designed as I went along. I knew I wanted something bold, colorful and some dimension and texture, but I wasn’t sure what it would look like.
Step #1.) I chose the heart flower and stamped several of them in a chain.
Step #2.) Colored flowers  in with our Shin Han Twin Markers.  The alcohol markers made such a bold rich tone.
Step #3.) I trimmed around just the bottom of the flowers.  This is when you want to use your micro tip scissors!
Step #4.) Used the little polka dot cluster stamp to add a background to the top of the flower border.

Step #5 I attached the cut out border to a card base that I had embossed with the chevron embossing folder.
Step #6 Cut around the embossing pattern and attached that.
Added black cardstock, black shimmer tape and the sentiment.

The finishing touches were the red enamel hearts, perfect for the occasion.
Just think! I have 12 more stamps I haven’t even used yet!  Make sure you add this set for just $5 when you spend $50 this month.
Hope you enjoyed!
