Time for MORE Splendid Things!

I just LOVE the large flower in the August Stamp of the Month, Something Splendid, don't you?

I've already shared a couple of my own creations using the Something Splendid set and that beautiful large flower, but today I'd like to share the work of some other talented CTMH Consultants! It's always fun to see how given the same stamp set, we all come up with such different creation. The possibilities truly are endless!

This first card, a fun tri-fold design, was created by Gayle Luker, a member of my team. Of course, I LOVE the Cherry-O paper with the big pink flower, but the design is so cool! I can't wait to create some tri-fold cards on my own.



This next card, was created by Consultant Amy Raimy using the Passages paper. Amy is so clever - who would have thought to use a pretty flower with the rich and earthy tones of Passages. Amy's card is a 6x6 design. Gorgeous, don't you think?


Karen Barber's card using the Splendor papers is just cheery and fun - a great card for summer! Did you notice the Splendor Designer Brad in the corner? These fabric covered brads are quite cute!


Finally, don't have enough of the B&T you want to make a card? Look at what Donna was able to create with just a little cardstock, stamps and ink! Simply GORGEOUS! Donna added a touch of Liquid Glass to the center of the flower.

I hope you've loved these cards as much as I do! Head on over to my website to order your Something Splendid set TODAY. Remember, it's only available through August!

More Something Splendid cards to share next week. Have a SPLENDID weekend!

August Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Wow! With all the Convention excitement, July simply flew by! I can't wait to share all of the new goodies with you, but for now, it's time to get hoppin'! That's right, it's time for another Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!

This month we are featuring Something Splendid - a GORGEOUS set of 13 stamps!

The large flower is perfect for the Base and Shade technique I used on this card - and My Acrylix makes it so easy to line up those images PERFECTLY! The base flower was stamped using Blush ink and the shade image was stamped right over the top using Tulip ink, but truly, the color combos are infinite with a set like this one.

This 6x6 card uses the new Cherry-O Creative Basics along with a little Colonial White Ric Rac and a button from the Winter Cozy Craft Buttons collection. The flower is popped up with Foam Tape for a little added dimension!
