August Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

 

Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! We will be featuring August's SOTM,  "What A Hoot". If you have come here from Angela Garcia'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 HERE.

This month we have 67 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! Here we go!

I decided to go in a different direction - rather than making a Halloween-themed project, I used this set for a birthday card.  And of course, I chose our new paper collection, Confetti Wishes.  This happy happy paper features bright colors, including two of our new colors: Thistle and Canary.  And the stamp set is perfect for paper piecing - I stamped the owl image on the diagonal stripe paper, then on the confetti design, cut each piece out and glued.  Then I stamped the party hat and paper-pieced the stripes.  I created a banner by trimming the hat image.  Those pieces were colored using our blending pen.  I created background paper by random stamping 'what a hoot' tone-on-tone in Crystal Blue.  Here is a closer look:
