It's a new month and we've got a great new Stamp of the Month here at Creative Accents! We're featuring a background stamp this month, one from the new collection of "Cling Pops" by Hero Arts! This cling mounted background stamp covers a full A2 sized card front (4.25x5.5") and features large dots of text, two of which POP out to be used separately- such a cool concept!
Our cards this month feature a paper collection by Fancy Pants called, "It's the Little Things"- hope you enjoy! (Because we LOVE our followers and the comments they leave... we'll be randomly selecting one person who leaves a comment on this post mentioning one 'little thing' about these cards that they love... to get a free stamp from Hero Arts!)
This month Sarah agreed to stamp along with me, and she's made two great cards with this background image. I'll be watching Sarah's blog in the coming weeks to see how/when she uses this stamp on a scrapbook page!
Here's a close up of Sarah's cards, you can read all about how she made them on her blog!
This first card features the SOTM on the background and as the focal point, with punched circles that are shiny with Glossy Accents:
Sarah's second card has the SOTM in the background with a cute pocket full of paper hearts as the focal point- love it!
Next up are the cards I made with our SOTM!
I stamped the SOTM onto patterned paper and tore the edge for my background layer, then stamped a popped out text circle onto the same patterned paper and punched it & layered it on black cardstock to be part of the cluster of images that is my focal point. The typewriter & sentiment stamps are also from Hero Arts, the kraft die cut shape is from Maya Road and my brads are by Basic Grey.
Here's a little close up of the typewriter, text circle & brads- I used glossy accents on the typewriter buttons for extra dimension.
For my final card, I stamped a row off the SOTM onto cardstock I had cut with a scallop edge (I was thrilled to find one that was a perfect fit! This one is from Lifestyle Crafts. I since my piece is larger than the stamp width, I used one of the individual 'pop out' stamps to complete my scallop row. I then cut pieces with the same edge using a variety of papers from my 6x6 paper pad, and crumpled them up for extra texture before adhering them together. The yummy flower on my card was cut from some of the new flower dies in the Wildflower Spring Gift Set from Lifestyle Crafts- I love it! We cut layers from paper and from foam packing material, which adds a funky texture. I finished it off with a brad from Basic Grey, silk ribbon and a sentiment stamp by CHF from my stash.
Here's a close up of those scalloped ruffles, you can also get a good look here at the mist of Perfect Pearls I sprayed over the entire card!
Hope you enjoyed our cards & are inspired to create something with this new SOTM yourself!
