September Stamp of the Month

Paper Garden is the September Stamp of the Month and I've had so much fun making a set of classy cards with it. The card bases are from Kraft cardstock, the flowers are stamped with Cocoa and Desert Sand inks, the ink blots are stamped with Champagne ink, the sentiment and border are stamped with Poppy ink and the background stripes are cut from Eggplant and Pomegranate cardstock. These colors are from the Enchantment palette and featured in the Sangria paper pack.

I've also entered this card over at the Color Dare Challenge. Thanks for stopping by!

Hollyhock, Goldrush & Colonial White

Hello! I've been busy working on projects for my BIG Reveal Party this Saturday, but stopped long enough to make this card for the Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge (my first entry in this challenge).

This card utilizes the Hollyhock ink, Goldrush ink, Balloon Wishes stamp set (get it free when you purchase the Marker Roll Up during August), and Hello Life Cardmaking stamp set (a sneak peek at something fun coming in September). 

Hello Zoe!

It's time to welcome a new girl to the block! Hello Zoe! She is Close To My Heart's newest paper pack - a pre-release from the 2015-2016 Annual Inspirations book that comes out September 1st. Let me just say that Zoe is a perfect sampling of many wonderful things to come! Here are a couple of things I made at our last play date:

This card was SO SIMPLE! Not only does it use the playful Zoe paper, but also the newest Cricut cartridge Artistry, and Framed, the August Stamp of the Month.

This layout is for our sweet black lab who passed away last week after being a member of our family for 13 years. It also uses the Zoe paper and features the Artistry Cricut cartridge for the sweet little dog, lettering and paw background. The "sweet & happy" stickers are part of the Zoe compliments pack.

I can't wait for you to play with these papers at my Reveal party on August 29th, or you can see it sooner at the August 21st crop night.
