National Stamping Month - You Are My Happy

September is National Stamping Month and Close To My Heart has a stamping good deal for you! When you purchase $50 in Close To My Heart Products you can add this EXCLUSIVE You Are My Happy three set stampset for $10!  These are all D-size stamps and is a $47.90 value!  Stamps include a whimsical upper and lower case alphabet (includes numbers!), 9 wonderful sentiments and 13 icons (6 coordinate with the Art Philosophy cricut cartridge!)  I say WOWZA!!!

Today we are showcasing this fun new stamp in a National Stamping Month Blog Hop! We have just over 20 consultants participating in this hop.  If you came from my good friend Krista's blog you are on the right track!  The hop is a big circle so when you get back to me, you will know you have completed the hop!

So far I have created three cards with this set!  I can't wait to get back to my scraproom to create more! I'm sharing one card today and will share the others later this week.  For this card I used paper from the Babycakes Paper Pack.   This is one of my favorite new packs even though I have done nothing 'baby' with it!



I read the verse and just couldn't wait to show the friendship between the hedgehog and bunny rabbit.  I stamped the hedgehog right onto the shape.  The bunny rabbit was stamped onto a piece of scrap paper and cut out.  I stamped the flower and cut it out on the flower portion.  Before I adhered the flower I stamped the flower where I wanted the bloom to be and added the bloom right on top. (Beats cutting out the stem!).

I used Whisper, Creme Brulee' and Cotton Candy Alcohol markers to color the cute little animals.  The sentiment is stamped in Slate Ink.  I used one of the zip strips from the Babycakes paper across the bottom of the card and wrapped a piece of White Bakers Twine around the card.  The button is from the Slate Mini Medley Accents.

I will be sharing more from this wonderful set throughout the month so be sure to stop back by! For more creative ideas today hop on over to Joy's blog!

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 measurement to 2".               To re
