For the Love of Crafting - August Stamp of the Month

Welcome to this month's Stamp of the Month, "For the Love of Crafting" Blog Hop; a super fun stamp set for any crafter!


This stamp set comes with nine images you will see highlighted in the artwork as you make your way around the Hop. More importantly, you can get it for $5 with a purchase of at least $50. Details about this offer can be found through this LINK

If you are coming from Wendy's Blog, you are on the right track. You can find a complete list of participants by clicking here


I had fun using the images from the stamp set to make this Slider Card. It is really easy to make and not nearly as complicated as you might imagine. In fact, I have an Design Space file to share with you, through my VIP Group on Facebook, if you don't already have a Close To My Heart Consultant. It will make it easy for you to assemble one as well.

I will be highlighting it in the group this coming weekend. Follow the link to join me there, if you would like!

This is what the card looks like when it is open. You have to be strategic on the placement of the sentiment so you it is not exposed through the thumb pull and still allows a spot for you to sign the card. 

Here is a video on how it looks in action. (It did get stuck a bit as I was filming, of course - LOL, but it does work as intended.) You can made it in a way that you can include a gift card inside. What a fun way to receive a great card and goodie - all in one! 

Thank you so much for stopping by. Head on over to Gina's Blog where I would bet she has something GREAT to show you, as do the other participants in the Hop. We always love to hear what you think, so consider leaving me a comment before moving on.

Wishing you all the best this month!

Close To My Heart Christmas Card Blog Hop

Welcome to our Blog Hop where we are featuring handmade Christmas cards made with Close To My Heart products.

If you are coming from Brenda's Blog, you are on the right track. This hop is a circle so be sure to follow the link below to continue viewing our Christmas creations.
I decided to use this "Gingerbread Friends" stamp set. Isn't it adorable? Do you see all the fun little pieces and parts to dress up your friends? TOO FUN!
Many years ago I created a slider card for Christmas. It was fun and so I decided to bring it out again this year.  A banner, some red gems, and a bow and we have a cute card!
This is a very simple interactive card that just puts a different twist on Christmas cards. I can see putting a pocket inside that would hold a gift card. Hmmm... I might have to try that out.

If you want to know how to make this card, watch the video below which contains dimensions for recreation. And then...be sure to share what you create. I'd love to see it!
