July Stamp of the Month - Circus Alphabet

Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! This month we are featuring Circus Alphabet, a set of 68 stamps. If you have come here from Dana Kessler'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 40 consultants participating in the blog! I know that I can't wait to see what fabulous projects everyone has to share! Following the hop is easy- just click on the link at the bottom of each post and it will take you to the next blog!

What a fun alphabet! This is a set that will stay in my collection for along time to come!  I love alphabet stamps and the cuter they are the better!  This one just happens to be adorably cute! I created a Birthday Card with this stamp.


I used the embedded embossing technique for this card.  I will be teaching this technique in my next Technique Tuesday class.  See my upcoming events page for more information on date, time and cost.

The background paper is from Lollydoodle.  The balloons were cut from the Artiste Cricut Cartridge and stamped with the balloons that come with the collection.  I stamped the balloons in Pear and Crystal Blue.  To color the "HAPPY" I used my watercolor pencils and blending pen to get a faded effect.  I added a paper butterfly from my stash that I sponged with Crystal Blue Ink. (I'm trying to use up more of my older stash items).  Two sparkles finished the touch.

Remember, you can get this stamp set ONLY during the month of June for $5 with a $50 purchase! Visit your consultant's website to order. If you don't have a consultant you can place your order with me! Go to www.stampinheaven.ctmh.com to place your order!

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

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
