Sweetheart + Friendship = A Perfect Combination

As promised yesterday…even MORE fun artwork using Friendship, the February Stamp of the Month set!

All of the fun cards I’m sharing today were created using the adorable Sweetheart My Reflections kit. Pink and black is such a classic color combo and CTMH has done it beautifully with Tulip, Cotton Candy, Baby Pink, and Black!

This fun little square card was created by my fun and spunky team member, Gayle Luker! It might not show up perfectly in the photo, but Gayle used Clear Embossing Powder on one of the damask images in the top left corner of the black cardstock. Those Sparkles show it off beautifully!

Fellow Consultant Elizabeth Hawley created this sweet card…simple, yet pretty! Just my style!

This 6x6 card from Consultant Lynn Hart uses the super cute Crochet Flowers found in the White Daisy Mini-Medley Collection – fun touch, don’t you think!

This next card, created by Consultant Jennifer Cox, showcases our new 2” Scalloped Circle Punch. I LOVE this punch!

Finally, Karen Barber’s cute 6x6 card…brads from the new Pink Collection and those two little Bitty Sparkles are so fun!

More Stamp of the Month Inspiration!

Did you check out the Stamp of the Month Blog Hop? If not, you don’t want to miss it – our talented consultants certainly out did themselves this month and shared some pretty incredible artwork in the hop!

Today I want to share a couple more pieces of artwork using the gorgeous February Stamp of the Month set, Friendship.

All of the cards shown below were created with that super cute Sophia kit – definitely my favorite in the new Idea Book!

This 6x6 card, created by fellow Consultant Janice Hodgkin just makes me smile! I love the damask images along the top creating a border, the bold Sweet Leaf ribbon, and the fun Clear Buttons!

This card was created by my talented team member, Kathy Wafer. I LOVE Kathy’s use of the damask image as a subtle background on the sentiment block. Nice touch! And of course, isn’t everything better with a little BLING? The three Sparkles along the bottom and the single Sparkle dotting the “I” add just the perfect finishing touch!

Finally, a card from my crafty team member Jill Belkin! Jill used the GORGEOUS new Bohemian Alphabet, lots of sponging and a sweet little knot to top it all off!

If you’ve enjoyed these cards, be sure to check back tomorrow as I will share even more ideas using the Friendship set.

February Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

The beginning of February means LOTS of great things where Close to My Heart is concerned...a new Idea Book, not one, but TWO AMAZING specials, and of course, the Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! I shared the great Studio J special yesterday and will share the other real soon, so stay tuned. Right now, it's time to get hoppin'!

If you've arrived here from Dawn's blog, you're on the right track. If this is your first stop just follow the link at the end of this post (and the links in the subsequent blogs) and you are sure to be inspired by over 65 talented CTMH Consultants! If you get lost along the way or find links that aren't working, you can find the entire list of participants at Helen's blog.

February is all about love and friendship, so what a better way to celebrate than with this pretty set appropriately named Friendship. Classic damask images and a beautiful sentiment about friendship make this a very versatile set.

I absolutely love the sentiment in the set as it reminds me of so many friends who have touched my heart, so I decided to let the sentiment be the focal point of this card. I used the brand new Sophia papers because like my friends, they just make me smile!

Other items used include CTMH Corner Rounder, White Daisy Grosgrain Ribbon and Brads from the new Pink Assortment.

Time to hop along to Angel's blog to see what she (and all the other talents ladies) have in store for us this month.

Be sure to check back over the next couple days for fun artwork from the brand new Spring/Summer 2011 Idea Book!
