Welcome to the November Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!

If you have found yourself here from Lisa Sargent's Blog, then you are in the right place. This month we have about 55 Close to My Heart Consultants for the November Stamp of the Month Blog Hop.


The November Stamp of the Month is entitled Cherish the Day (Set of 44). See some examples below showing what you can do with this stamp set.

And here are the stamps. Just think of all of the things that you can make with this stamp set!

I decided to combine the SOTM Blog Hop with the Heart 2 Heart Challenges Color Challenge this week. Here are the colors for this challenge.



Autumn Terracotta, Juniper and Bamboo. I like the look of these colors together but I found that I was having a hard time putting it all together. Here is my card.

I used a patterned paper from the retired paper pack, Game’s On, along with the Juniper patterned paper from the new paper pack, Typeset. I also stamped on our retired Twill ribbon the sentiment, It’s Your Birthday. I added some of our Bronze Glitter Gel to one of our arrow Milepost Shapes. I added Bitty Sparkles around the date to showcase it.


Actually I have more embellishments than I have paper. LOL I would have liked to add more bling but this card is for a male friend who is a manly man and I am sure would have been uncomfortable with more sparkly bling. I had to hide it in the card. Check out the star from the Milepost Shapes. It is painted with our Create-A-Shape Pearl Paint and Bamboo Reinker with a little juniper button attached. I used our Stipple Brush from the Texture Tools set to apply Cocoa Ink to the edges of the card.
