November Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Welcome to the November Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!  The stamp set featured this month is S1111 Cherish the Day!  This month we have 57 wonderful consultants participating and showing off their creations! This stamp set is great for invitations, occasions, saving dates and looks great on cards, tags, scrapbook pages, and 3-D projects!

If you have come from Melinda's Blog, then you are on the right track!

This month's stamp set is great for any occasion where you might need to remember a special date or day.  I came up with so many ideas for this stamp set but only had time to create a few things!

The first card is of course a holiday card using the Believe paper pack and some images cut using the CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge.  The second is a baby shower invitation for my sister-in-law who will be having a little boy in February!  This card also uses the Believe paper pack!

Holiday Wishes!

Starting now and continuing through Nov. 30th - you can get a great holiday stamp set for a great price! And even better - 4 of the 9 shapes match up with shapes that can be cut with the CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge!

When you place a minimum order of $25 in stamp sets between now and November 30th, you can add a new D-size Holiday Wishes stamp set for only $5! That’s a significant savings of $12.95. You may buy one Holiday Wishes stamp set for every $25 in qualifying stamp sets you purchase. As a creative bonus, many of the images in the set coordinate with our Cricut® Art Philosophy cartridge for added cutting and stamping fun!

This set would also be great to use with the Holiday Card workshop I am offering!!  Contact me today to see how you can get this stamp set and if you hurry, the October Stamp of the month with your workshop kit!

H2H challenge - Sentiment stamp only!

The H2H Challenge for this week is to use only a sentiment for stamping.  No other stamps can be used.  This is truly a challenge!  I did manage to accomplish this in a few of my Holiday cards that will also be made at my workshop coming up in November.

Yep, believe it or not, each of these cards only has a stamped sentiment.  It's awesome that several sheets of the Believe paper pack are busy patterns because they can stand alone nicely without too much additional embellishing.

Materials (all CTMH):
Believe Paper Pack
Holiday Red and Topiary Ink
White Daisy Cardstock
December 25th stamp set
Holiday Cheer stamp set

Now challenge yourself to limit your stamping to just a sentiment and check out what everyone else has created at the H2H challenges blog!
