Hello, National Stamping Month! Hello, Life!

Happy National Stamping Month! We're celebrating all month long at Close to My Heart with not just one great stamp set, but three exclusive stamp sets that are so fun and work together so well, you'll definitely want to get all three!

My fellow consultants and I are adding to the celebration with another great blog hop, and we're so glad you've joined us! If you've arrived from Jen's blog you are in the right spot. If this is your first stop along the way, following along is simple. Just click the links provided at the end of each blog post to be directed to the next blog in the hop. By the time you arrive back here (or your original starting point), you will have a plethora of ideas using this amazing trio of stamp sets! If you get lost along the way, or find links not working, you can find the complete list of hoppers HERE!

The Hello, Life stamp sets include three sets designed for all your crafting needs.

The Hello, Life-Carmaking set is perfect for celebrations or just a simple hello!

The Hello, Life-Pocket Scrapbooking set has images and words to help create your own pocket scrapbooking cards for any season in a flash! 

The Hello, Life-Scrapbooking set contains images and words for all of your scrapbooking needs!

There is so much I love about all three sets, I couldn't choose just one or two, so my cards feature elements from all three Hello, Life stamp sets! Both of my cards feature B&T paper from the new La Vie En Rose collection - the neutral black and white color palette of La Vie En Rose collection is sure to find its way into many of my crating projects this year!! I also used a little Silver Shimmer Trim and Clear Sparkles on each card.

Colors: Lagoon, Pear, Cotton Candy & Honey

Colors: Cotton Candy, Gypsy, Sunset & Lagoon

September SOTM: Paper Garden

It's the first of September and there is so much going on around the world of Close to My Heart, but let's get it all started with the Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! If you've arrived here from Jen's blog you are on the right track.

If you get lost along the way or find links not working, you can find the complete list of hoppers HERE. We've got almost 40 talented consultants sharing this month!

The September Stamp of the Month, Paper Garden (S1509) is a beautiful set of 10 stamps with a pretty wildflower theme.

This quick and easy 5x7 card features our new Georgie paper collection and Canary cardstock and ink. I simply love the chevron print of the Georgie collection. The Hello is one of my favorite stamps from our Hello, Life stamp set (National Stamping Month promotion - more details and another blog hop coming soon).  A little bit of Extra Thick Twine in slate adds some texture while our brand new Silver Foil Tape add a little shine! Such a happy little hello, I think!

Time to hop along and check out Melissa's blog! I'm sure she has something fabulous to share!
