Welcome to April’s stamp of the month blog hop!

This month there are 60 consultants participating in this blog hop! “My Sunshine” has such fun stamps in it! Perfect for some spring time cards! If you are following the blog hop, you should have come from Elizabeth’s blog. If you started here, that’s great too! The hop is a big round circle, so you shouldn’t get lost along the way. However, if you do happen to get lost, Helen has a list on her blog of all of the participants.

Every month there is a new exclusive stamp set that you can only get during that month. It is available at full price ($17.95) or for just $5 with a $50 order!

Today I have a fun little treat bag to share with you.

These stamps fit together so nicely! I stamped the sun rays in buttercup and the words in Chocolate Ink. I used the bird’s wing to stamp the background banner, also in buttercup. You’re tweet is super sweet in Chocolate ink. I even used some buttercup ink on the cute little birdie Wooden piece!

Would you like to get this stamp free? And what about 3 more? In April, if you sign up to be a consultant, you will get April through July’s Stamps of the Month FOR FREE! The kit is just $49, and you get $155 worth of wonderful creative items, and now, with the stamps, it’s another $70 of free crafting stuffs! How sweet is that?

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today! Your next stop in the fun hop is the lovely Lalia!

Have a fantastically fabulous crafty day!

Welcome to our March Art Philosophy/Artiste Blog Hop! As you know, both the Artiste and the Art Philosophy cartridges are available exclusively through a Close to My Heart consultant. If you don’t already have a Consultant that you are currently working with, please contact one the Consultants in our hop with any questions you have!

If you have just hopped onto my blog, please start at the beginning at Lucy’s blog – Love 2 Create. If you came from Penny ~ It Makes Total Cents then you are in the right place!

Our challenge this month features not only one of these amazing cartridges but also a “BINGO” card!

Here is the BINGO card that our Consultants were given:

The Consultants were told they could make anything they wanted using the Artiste OR Art Philosophy cartridge AND you work off the BINGO card posted above. Basically, you make a “BINGO” by going across, down, or diagonally and you have to use everything in that bingo line.

I made this fun card with the bingo card, and I hope you like it! I used the fun April Stamp of the Month, “My Sunshine”.

First I stamped the sun ray image on my card with Buttercup ink, keeping it close to the top. Then I used the Art Philosophy cartridge for the ‘label’ type shape, and stamped it with the circle of words, also in Buttercup Ink. Next I stamped the sentiment in Chocolate Ink on a scrap of White Daisy cardstock, and notched it into a banner shape.

I used one of the buttons from the Surfs Up Assortment, and attached an itty bitty butterfly from the Trinkets Wooden Shapes with a dab of liquid glass. It is so cute and adorable and tiny!
