The blog hop makes a circle so if you are starting here just continue until you make your way back and you will have made it through them all. If you have already started and are coming from Sheila Bennett’s blog, “Sheila’s Stamping Stuff”, then you are on the right track.
My first card was inspired by this week’s challenge over at CASE Study Challenge (Challenge #75) and the color combo at The Play Date Cafe (#PDCC116) of plum, pear and….moldy cheese? I skipped the moldy cheese and used Indian Corn Blue instead. 😉
The sentiment “Consider Yourself Hugged” kept calling me. It brought to mind how people use parenthesis around the word “hug” to convey a digital embrace, like in an email or message board. So inspired by the clean and simple design at CASE Study, I decided to try one myself. Here’s what I came up with. What do you think?
Inks: Black, Smokey Plum, Garden Green, Indian Corn Blue
Embellishments: Bitty Sparkles
Other: 3D Foam Tape, Paper Trimmer, Bone Folder, Tape Runner (3M – ATG)
Inks: Grey Wool
Embellishments: Grey Wool Baker’s Twine, Bitty Sparkles, Just Blooms Flutter Paper Shapes (Butterfly)
Other: Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge, 3D Foam Tape, Paper Trimmer, Micro-tip Scissors, Bone Folder, Corner Rounder, Glue Dots, Tape Runner (3M – ATG)
Remember, if you love what you’ve seen so far along your SOTM Blog Hop journey, and you want your own “Thoughful Tidings” stamp set or want to get it for the amazingly low price of $5, be sure to contact your Close To My Heart Independent Consultant. If you don’t already have a consultant, I’d love to be yours. You can find details on the “Stamp of the Month” here on my blog, or by clicking on the “Stamp of the Month” tab at the top of the page or by clicking on the “Shop with Me” link near the top right. Of course, if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
If you have time, take a moment or two to check out the rest of my blog.
