A Flowering Bunch - June Stamp of the Month

Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!  This month we are featuring A Flowering Bunch a set of 10 stamps.  Four of these stamps coordinate with the Artiste Cricut Cartridge!  If you have come here from Helen'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 60 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 two cards with this set.



Card Size - 8 x 3 1/2
For my first card, I stamped the flowers, stem and leaves with Outdoor Denim ink.  Then I used our Alcohol Markers to color!
I used Sorbet for the flowers and Olive for the stem and leaves.

I wrapped Outdoor Denim Baker's Twine around the card and tied it in a nice little bow.














Card Size - 5 x 4 1/2
My second card was really simple. Again, I used Outdoor Denim ink to stamp the bunch of flowers and the sentiment.
I used various colors of  Close To My Heart's Alcohol markers to color my flowers.

The sorbet ribbon is from my stash of retired ribbons.  I thought it matched perfectly.   I added some clear sparkles for a little bit of bling!  Because the alcohol markers bleed through, I used a slightly smaller size piece of White Daisy cardstock to color on and adhered it to front of my card base.









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

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

    The Denim blue really adds a richness to the first card! And your placement of images/bling/ribbon on the second card makes it look so crisp and clean! Love these!

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...
