June Stamp of the Month Blog Hop: Kaboom

Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop. We do this the first of every month and it's SO much fun! It's a big circle so you can jump on anywhere. Just keep clicking on the link for the next post. If you've come from Dana's blog you're on the right track. Now let's get started!

There are so many great images in this set that are perfect for celebrating. I decided to go a bit outside the box and create something a bit less obvious. I've actually used the two small bursts to create flowers that look like Dandelion's. But as I look at it again, they could also be Sparklers. 

The background shape was cut from our Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge. I then cut it into sections. This was an inspiration I found and I'm sorry to say forgot who shared the idea. 

The left section is textured with our Dots embossing folder. There is also a Bitty Sparkle in the middle of each flower. Take a look at all the images in this set! It's only available from June 1-30, 2014. Click here to get yours now!

Our stamp set this month is called You've Got a Friend. There are 5 delightful images I know you'll have a lot of fun creating with! Check out this cute card I made pairing up the stamp set with the Balloon Ride paper pack. I dry embossed stripes on the B & T paper in the middle of the card for some added texture. A couple other details: scalloped punch on the outside borders, corner rounded two corners of the message layer, a few Bitty Sparkles on the stars and a Cricut cut bow from our Artiste cartridge!
