American Celebration - July Stamp of the Month

Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!  We will be featuring July's SOTM, American Celebration, a set of 12 stamps.  If you have come here from DEBBIE'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 all around.  If you get lost along the way, you’ll find the complete list of participating consultants here .

This month we have 65 Close To My Heart Consultants sharing their creations using this month's SOTM and other great CTMH products on their blogs. Following the blog hop is simple to do - just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move to the next one! Here we go!


I decided I would make a few party decorations for a July 4th picnic. I made place cards with the American flag using 2nd generation stamping and the masking technique to use 2 different colors.   (The names were stamped with The Works Alphabet).   Next I made napkin rings with Outdoor Denim and White Daisy cardstock.  I stamped the rocket and shooting stars to attach to the napkin ring.    My paper lantern completes the table.  

This set is a lot of fun and doesn't have to be used ONLY for July 4th!  I've already seen some great artwork for other occasions with this set.   So hop on through the Blog Hop and check it out!  You can hop onto Lisa Schaefer's Blog to get started (or keep moving!).    

Remember! You can get this stamp set ONLY during the month of July.   You can purchase it through my website at http://www.stampinheaven.myctmh.com/ or email/call me to place the order for you!

Now, I want to share with a cute way to make a gift card holder!  I used the Artiste Cricut Cartridge to make this holder.  It was very simple!  The Cricut cuts the card and it folds so that you can slip a gift card inside! I set the cricut to cut at 5".  I recycled an old gift card so my card is a little thick. This size worked well.   If inserting a regular card you can use 4 3/4" measurement.  "Merry Christmas" is also cut using the Artiste Cricut Cartridge.  I set the measureme...
