November Stamp of the Month and Artwork!

Wow! November already! Well, with a new month, comes a new Stamp of the Month from Close To My Heart - and coincidentally, the next installment of Open House Artwork was done with the November SOTM! The Stamp of the Month is available for this month only, and is called "Cherish the Day". It is a set of 44 (yes, forty-four!) images that also, incidentally, coordinate beautifully with several different cuts on the CTMH exclusive "Art Philosophy" Cricut Cartridge! Here is a picture of the images you'll get:







I created (or re-created) the featured artwork that comes with the stamp set. With every SOTM, you will receive a project sheet that will direct you to the CTMH website for a product list and instructions for creating several different items with that stamp set. They are a lot of fun! And this stamp set was easy and versatile. Check out the artwork:

The patterned paper used is from the "Dreamin'" paper pack. What's cool about these cards is that they originally call for the use of "Milepost Shapes" (item #Z1464), which are corrugated chipboard shapes. I, however, did not have those, so I used Desert Sand cardstock, cut the shapes from the Cricut "Art Philosophy" cartridge, ran them through my corrugator, then inked the ridges with Desert Sand ink (the only exception is the blue stars which were Pacifica CS and ink). So feel free to use what you have to create these fun projects!





Everything on this cute take-out box (including the box!) was cut from the "Art Philosophy" cartridge. I tell you, I had so much fun using that cartridge!

And you will have so much fun with this stamp set! Use it to mark any occasion! It's only $17.95 or $5.00 with a $50.00 purchase! Have fun!
