Welcome to the April Stamp of the
Month Blog Hop! We will be featuring April’s Stamp of the Month, My Sunshine, a set of 8 stamps. If you have came here from Lori’s Blog,
you are on the right path. The blog hop is a great big circle, you can
start here and work your way around. If you get lost along the way,
you can find a complete list of participating consultants here.
The April Stamp of the Month coordinates with the Cricut Artiste Collection. All of my shapes were cut with the Artiste cartridge and stamped with a coordinating image. I cut all of my images on White Daisy cardstock. My sun was stamped with Honey ink and then sponged with honey ink to add a two tone look.
I used an extra cloud die cut to use as a stencil to make my cloud background. For the texture on my balloon baskets…I stamped with the bird feather that is included in the set. I stamped each basket twice to form the pattern and then sponged on Desert Sand Ink.
The April Stamp of the Month can be
yours for only $5 with a qualifying Close To My Heart purchase. You can
see all the details on my Current Specials page!
All of the images with the red outline have a coordinating shape on the Cricut Artiste cartridge. The summer words image fits perfectly inside the sun shape as well! Super cute versatile set that is only available in the month of April!
