December Stamp of the Month - Candlelight Garden


Welcome to the December Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! This month we are featuring Candlelight Garden. This is a set of 10 stamps! If you have come here from Melissa Robinson'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.



This stamp gave me the opportunity to really play with my watercolor paints! Before I started painting, I stamped the jar and flowers on my watercolor paper with Versamark ink and heat set it with Gold Embossing Powder.  Then I painted away!  I also stamped and embossed "Thank You" and the heart on Champagne Cardstock.  I just painted a swoosh across the heart.  The champagne shape is cut from the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge. My background paper is from the White Pines Paper Pack.   Yep - that Christmas themed paper can be used for things other than Christmas!   For my final touch, I tied some Fern Thick Twine around the jar.

This stamp is just $5 when you spend $50 in Close to My Heart products 
during the month of December!

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
