January Stamp of the Month - This Moment


Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! This month we are featuring This Moment, a set of 12 fun stamps. If you have come here from Teresa Scriven's Blog you are on the right path! The blog hop is a great big circle, so you can start here and work your way around. If you get lost along the way, you'll find the complete list of participating consultant's HERE.


I created a card for my next Technique Tuesday class using this set using one of our new embossing the folders - Heart (Z3018) and a fun technqiue called Inked Embossing.


I felt like my card had too much 'white space' even with the inked embossed hearts so I stamped a black arrow in between the embossed hearts.  Another technique I used on this card is the masking technique.  I tried stamping the sentiment on top of the multiple circles but I didn't like the way it looked.  That is where the masking came in.   I used the technique on the sentiment so that the lines of the circle stops at the sentiment.   

If you are local to me, and want to come and make this card, be sure to check out the class details on my Upcoming Events tab and email me to reserve your spot!

Remember!  You can get this stamp during the month of January for just $5 with a $50 purchase! Contact your consultant to order your stamp today!  If you don't have a consultant you can order directly from my website at www.stampinheaven.ctmh.com  

Now it is time to hop on over to Alyson Mayo's blog and see what she has created!
