CANDLE LIGHT GARDEN - December 2015 Stamp of the Month Blog Hop


YES, I am amazed that it's already December!! How about you? Before you get too wrapped up in your December activities, NOW is a great time to take a look at the Stamp Of The Month and get your order placed so you don't forget. The Rose Blossoms are creating beautiful ideas for you to make when your stamp set arrives. If you're starting at my blog just read through and click on the link to the next blog. It's also possible that you came from Lynn Darda's amazing blog. Wasn't it spectacular?

This is Cyber Week at CTMH. You have until 4pm Mountain Time to order 39 different items (while supplies last). Each item is 25% off. I'm pretty sure that a lot of people would agree that one of the top items by far is the Artfully Sent Cricut Cartridge. So I decided to run some paper through my Cricut and show you how easy it is to create some adorable cards with just a little stamping using this terrific SOTM. All of these cards were cut quickly and stamped on even faster.

Just a touch of water color paint ... they say less is more and this makes the case.

This is by far my favorite sentiment in the set. I have other plans for using this stamp but since we're just playing with Artfully Sent cards I can't show you that right now!!

This took no time to cut, minimal time to stamp and then slightly longer to paint. I'm still working on my watercolor skills but this bouquet really begs to be colored. I will definitely need to work with larger spaces to get good at this, but I'm not afraid to show you my first stab at this bouquet. Everyone has to start somewhere. 

 Thank you for visiting my blog. Now click HERE to see what Kim Hill has for you over at Violets and Sunshine. I'm sure you'll love it because Kim has been excited to play with this set.
