New Product Blog Hop!

I had so much fun making this layout of my granddaughter. The photos were taken last October when she was only 3 months old. She's now 1 year old! Kids have a way of growing up fast, don't they!

I've used some of our newest products in this layout! Look at that lacy border on the upper right. That's one of the 700 images from our Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge! The message layers were also cut from the cartridge. Not only is it FUN having all these images at my fingertips....it's EASY to cut and add them to my projects! In the Cricut Art Philosophy Collection you get the cartridge with 700 images plus 3 exclusive stamp sets and 3 Dimensional Elements packs that all compliment the images from the cartridge!

I used two stamp sets on the layout. Wicked is the August Stamp of the Month and the other set is called All Hallows Eve. The little bats are 3-D'd...is that a word?...with a bit of foam tape under one wing. The paper is from our new Mischief paper pack and it's SO cool! Great for Halloween but also neutral enough for any time of year! Did you know our new B&T papers are now cardstock weight and have two different patterns on each side? Very versatile!

There is also distressing going on here, too. I sanded the cardstock strips and the frame. To make the frame....after you cut out the center for your photo, fold the corners to get a crease. Lightly sand the folded corner, inside and outside edges of the frame. You can also sand the rest of the frame to complete the distressed look.

During the  month of August you can get the Stamp of the Month: Wicked, for only $5 with a $50 purchase! As a special gift this month you can also get a FREE stamp set called A Typeface! See the flyer below for details!

August Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for August! What a fun stamp set we have this month! I love, love, LOVE it! If you've come from Melissa Laverty's blog you're on the right track. Don't you love her ideas! Let me show you some more!

Here's a cute card with a bit of a "split negative" effect. The pattern is the #2 card from the standard size card workshop in our How To book: Wishes. The accent color is sunset and the B&T is from our new kit called Mischief. These papers are great for Halloween projects but also have great patterns for year round use! I like to stamp a little extra on the inside, too. A 2nd generation image behind the message is a nice accent!

This is an 8" x 3 1/2" card made with papers from the Mischief paper kit. The pattern is Puzzle Backdrop from our How To Book: Originals. It's hard to see in the photo, but I used some of our new Silver Glitz Glitter Gel to accent along images stamped on the top and left of the broom layer. I also brushed a bit onto the broom. 

Now this is a standard size card showing another of the patterns in the Mischief paper kit. the pattern is Sweet & Simple, again from our Originals How To Book. A really great detail about these new B&T papers is that they are now cardstock weight and have this really cool Zip Strip along one edge. One side of the Zip Strip tells you details about the kit. The other side has a pattern. You just cut the Zip Strip off and use it as an accent in your projects! Look in the bottom left of the card above. The 1/2" x 1 1/2" piece is from a Zip Strip! I layered it and added some Licorice Pearls for accent. You are going to LOVE the Zip Strips!

All of our stamp set prices have DROPPED and it's even easier now to get the Stamp of the Month! You can buy it at at the new full price of $17.95 or you can get the Stamp of the Month for only $5 with a purchase of $50 or more! What a deal!
