Jen's Scrappy Pages: September SOTM - Blessed Beyond Measure

Hello!! Happy September 1st!! Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop. We will be featuring September's Stamp of the Month, "Blessed Beyond Measure". I just love the sayings in this set!! If you have come here from Alyson Mayo's Blog, you are on the right path! The blog hop is a great big circle, so you can start here and work your way all around. If you get lost along the way, you’ll find the complete list of participating consultants on Melinda’s Blog.

This month we have 31 Close To My Heart Consultants sharing their creations using this month's SOTM and other great CTMH products on their blogs!! This is simple to do - just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move to the next one! Ready, Set, GO!!

A little bit about my card. I volunteered last month to create a project for my Upline's team meeting, using this stamp set. Little did I know I had signed up for the next team meeting which was only 2 weeks away and my upline needed the supply list a week before the team meeting! SO I got busy creating and this took NO time at all to come up with!

I used the color palette from the NEW Swan Lake paper pack as inspiration for the colors in this card. I used Fern, Poppy and Goldrush. I cut the leaf from the coordinating Cricut Artbooking Cartridge, but cut it 1/4" larger than it calls for. Then using Poppy, Goldrush and Fern inks, I sponged color onto the leaf, stamped the image with Fern Ink and added liquid glass on top to brighten it up and make it pop! The "wood grain" was made with CTMH's new Wood Grain embossing folder, then using a rubber brayer, inking over the top with Fern Ink, just to make it stand out a bit.

Don't you just LOVE this saying?? It doesn't even need to be on a "fall" like card! Makes you sit back and think about not always wanting for more than we have and to be grateful for the things we do have.

OK!! Now "Hop" on over to Haley Dyer's blog to see her work! Be sure to visit ALL the Consultants at their Blogs to get some great crafting ideas and other fun ideas!
