Stamp of the Month Blog Hop - Thoughtful Tidings

It is time for the February Stamp of the Month Blog Hop. There are so many creative and talented consultants along this hop. Grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and enjoy.

If you have come from Jill's blog, you are right on track. If starting here, just hop 'til you see me again and you will have seen them all.

Thoughtful Tidings is a stamp that is good for so much, cards, gift boxes and layouts. Eleven great stamp images and the great thing -- the stamp set is only $5 with a $50 purchase.

Did you notice all the red outlined images - Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge die cut coordinates! Another great reason to add this set to your stamp collection.

My first card is a Mojo Monday inspired design. I used the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge to cut the card base, the circle (double sided paper ROCKS), the heart, and the notched sentiment piece.

The zip strips (the little 1/2 inch strip across the top of the pattern paper) are great for adding as embellishment. I finished the card with a little Smokey Plum ribbon I had in my stash.

My next card uses a Milespot bracket and the swirl stamp images from the Sonoma Workshop on the Go exclusive stamp set. I added another Art Philosophy Cricut die cut image for the sentiment and cut the same diecut just a little larger to mat the sentiment. A little Designer Ribbon Cocoa collection finishes out this card.

The next card uses the beautiful paisley floral pattern paper, Colonial White waxy flax, pewter brads and more Art Philosophy die cut images. A little zip strip, Jeanette, CTMH founder and CEO, was totally rockin' when she did not want that little strip to just be thrown out. A great, green option for this little strip, one side holds all the information concerning the paper, My Reflections kit name, ink color, etc., and the other a great pattern for your embellishing use.

Add a little bling along the swirly stems found on the pattern paper finishes this 6"x6" card.

Last cards are quick and cute and ready to be mailed.
