This is a video demonstrating base and shade stamping using the So Grateful stamp set. So cute and simple!

November Stamp of the Month

This stamp set is only available during the month of November. It is called, Cherish the Day, and has 44 stamps! There is a stamp for each month that looks like a ticket and the numbers 1-31. There is a place on each month's ticket to add a date to it. This would really personalize birthday, anniversary, baby shower, and wedding cards. It would also be a super neat way to accent a layout. For example, if your layout was about the day your child took his or her first steps, you could add this "ticket" stamp with the actual month and date that that happened.

You always think you are going to remember things like that....but you never do. (at least, I don't)

You can purchase this stamp set in November for $17.95 or spend $50.00 and get it for $5.00.
