January 2012 Stamp of the Month

Little Reminder is the name of January's Stamp of the Month. It has 25 stamps including the numbers 0-9 in a nice large font. There is a large circle that has the months written around it that would be perfect to make into a tag to add to a birthday present. You can add the date to inside of the circle. Super cute. It also has the words, "Welcome little one". How perfect to use this stamp set to send out birth announcements.

This set is only available in January. You can purchase it for $17.95 or spend $50.00 and get it for $5.00.

December Stamp of the Month

Mad About You contains 14 stamps for $17.95 or spend $50.00 and get it for $5.00! Only available through the month of December.

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.

The card is made using die-cut cards that I distressed and sponged the edges in desert sand. The papers are from Wonderland and I embossed the sleigh's runners with silver embossing powder and stamped the sleigh in Twilight ink. I added some chocolate ribbon and twilight brads.

The layout features the October Stamp of the Month and a few other stamp sets, as well. It also includes stamps from the Believe Workshop on the Go, Holiday Commentary, Headline Alphabet, and Countdown Stamp set. The papers are Believe and I added the Believe Zip Strip, white daisy ribbon, waxy flax, foam tape, and CTMH scallop punch. Aren't the Christmas trees, with all their details, gorgeous!?

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, this stamp set!! It has 18 adorable stamps included in this set and contains stockings, trees, and a sleigh.

This is a card I made featuring the new "Wings" paperpack and several of the new embellishments coming out. The stamp set is the January Stamp of the Month, Find Your Style. The ribbon is the new Wings Level 2 Assortment and comes in 3 colors: Black, Juniper, and Vineyard Berry and is already folded and sewn for you! I just cut what I needed and glued it on! How easy is that!! The 3 button brads are from the new Black Mini-Medley Assortment.

I used foam tape to add dimension to the circle and the shoe and the second picture shows the dimension a little better.
