Baroque Borders - August Stamp of the Month


Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!  This month we are featuring "Baroque Borders", a set of 5 stamps.  If you have come here from Carla'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 


We have over 50 consultants participating in the hop. Following the hop is easy, just click on the link at the end of the post and it will hop you right over to the next blog!

I created a card and altered a journal with this month's stamp.  Here is the card:



I stamped the images onto Olive and Indian Corn Blue cardstock to create my own pattern paper.  I used one of our new colors - Saddle (Z2171).   I used a card pattern from our new How To publication - Make it From Your Heart (9035).
Recipe:
Color Ready Seam Binding Ribbon (Z1732) with Saddle Ink
Floret Paper Shapes (Z1764) (new)
Antiqued Gold Mini Medley Accent Collection (Z1786) (new)
Sentiment - Words of Comfort (C1524) (new)

Next, I wanted to try out our new pigment inks!  I used Indian Corn Blue and Olive to stamp onto our new My Creations Canvas Journal (Z1774).   The journal was very easy to stamp on with our new pigment inks!  

Our pigment inks are 1x1 cubes and are packaged on towers of 10 colors.  I used Indian Corn Blue and Olive pigment inks on this journal.  They are in the Enchantment color tower. (Z2502)


Remember! This stamp is available ONLY during the month of August!  You can purchase it for just $5 when you purchase $50 in Close To My Heart products!

Now, hop on over to Angel's blog and see what she has created for you!

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...
