Wild About Love - CTMH February Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Welcome to the February Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! 

This month I am following {Terry Ann Diack's Blog.}   We have over 50 Close to My Heart Consultants participating in this month’s Stamp of the Month Blog Hop.   If you lose your place while traveling through our blog hop, the complete list of participants can be found here.                                                                                                              

The February Stamp of the Month is entitled Wild About Love (S1402) (Set of 9). Here is a picture of this stamp set:

What a stinkin' cute stamp set!  A Valentine's Card for my dear husband came right to mind.  He has been so patient with me while I fix up my craft area and painted about half of the house in the past couple of months.

Here is my card:

This was such an easy card to put together.  The Wild Thing Banner was cut with the CTMH Cricut Art Philosophy, pg 36, , at 1.75".  Just a reminder - Did you know that when you use the Cricut to cut the shapes for our Stamp Sets that you always set the measurement at Real Dial On?

The "He Said/She Said" strips is actually from our new Lollydoodle Paper Pack (X7183B).  I love when the decorative zip strips off of our paper packs work so well in the artwork design.  

I used our Scallop Border Punch to cut a pretty scallop onto our Green Glitter Paper.  It cut just like butter.  

And I even decorated the inside of my card:

It's funny but even though this card is pink, I still think it will work for my husband.  I was so excited about using all of the new products in our soon to be released Spring/Summer Idea Book.  It comes out tomorrow and wait until you see it!   On the inside of the card, there is a piece of the new Lollydoodle Paper Pack.

Cloud 9 National Papercrafting Blog Hop

Welcome to our Close to My Heart National Papercrafting Month Cloud 9 Blog Hop!  We have 22 Close to My Heart Consultants in this blog hop.  Each of them is going to show what they did with this awesome Cloud 9 Cardmaking Kit that Close to My Heart released on January 1st.  I am next in line in the hop after the wonderful and very talented, Maria Myers.  If you get lost, you will find a complete list of bloggers here.

I love our very trendy Cloud 9 Cardmaking Kit that Close to My Heart is offering for National Papercrafting Month.  The card patterns are so easy to put together and give you such fun artwork.  With all of the extra supplies you have left, I decided to make one card as shown in the kit instructions and then change it up a bit so that you have 10 different cards.

Card #1 is made exactly as pictured in the kit.  Isn't it cute?

Now I changed it up a bit.  I turned it on its side, flipped the patterned papers so the swirly pattern is the smaller piece of paper, and added a scalloped piece of the teal shimmer trim to add a little pizzaz.  See what a little bit of changing around can do?  You get an entirely different card with almost the same paper and measurements.

Cards pictured side by side.

So how do you get a Cloud 9 Cardmaking Kit?
