CTMH Stamp of the Month Blog Hop - October

Welcome to the CTMH Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for October.  This month we are featuring the  stamp set "Very Merry Christmas".  

Hope you'll join us by hopping along with me & a very creative group of CTMH consultants who have created a multitude of great projects using this stamp set!     If you've come here from Michelle's blog, you are on the right path.  If this is your first stop on the hop, that will work too!   Just keep blog hopping until you get back here again!

To continue on the hop, just follow the link at the end of each post to go to the next site.   We hope that following the hop will give you lots of inspiration & ideas for creating with this month's featured stamp set, along with the many other great CTMH products you'll see in each post.

My creation for you today is a holiday card, measuring 5" x 7".  I like to make my Christmas cards large enough to tuck a photo inside for the recipient.    I have used the brand new Christmas paper from CTMH called Pear & Partridge.  Love the classic & traditional feel of this great collection.

The Very Merry Christmas stamp set coordinates with the CTMH Cricut cartridge "Artiste", so if you so choose, many of the stamped images can be cut using the Cricut (including the holiday ornament you see here on my card).    I added a little extra dimension to my ornament by popping it up with foam tape and by adding some bitty pearls to the front of it.   

The card design for this card is from the new CTMH publication 'Make it from your Heart, Vol. 1', a collection of great sketches for both layouts & cards.

The October stamp of the month is available from your CTMH consultant (or me!) from October 1st to 31st.   It can be purchased for $17.95, or get it for just $5 with every purchase of $50 or more during the month of October.   A must have stamp set for your holiday stamping!   

If you would like to continue on the hop for more holiday inspiration using this stamp set "Very Merry Christmas", continue on to Kami's blog to see what she has created!
