Happy New Year! Welcome to another blog hop featuring Close To My Heart’s Stamp-of-the-Month. If you came here from Tammy’s blog, you’re on the right track. If you’re starting here, don’t worry this hop is one big circle, so you’ll end up back here. Curl up with a cup of tea or coffee and settle in to enjoy all the inspiration. This month’s set is called True Friends and it’s beautiful. It has lovely sentiments and frames, as well as the ever popular bracket and parenthesis.
I had fun working with this stamp set and some brand new products that are included in the Spring 2010 Idea Book.
This first card uses the new paper pack entitled Topstitch, our new Soft Suede Pinwheel flowers (that’s real stitching on them), new Bitty Sparkles (there’s now 100 of these cuties in their own package!) and chocolate cardstock, ink and brad. I inked the edges of all the paper, including the pinwheels.
