Welcome to the November Stamp of the Month blog hop. We have over 20 fabulous consultants who are excited to inspire you using the “You Warm My Heart” November Stamp of the month. This awesome stamp will only be available until November 30th. You can get it for just $5 with a purchase of $50. After you see all of the lovely work in this hop, you won’t be able to resist this stamp!

If you are coming from Becca’s blog, you are on the right path. This blog is a big circle and you will be able to hop on from each page. If you get lost, there is a full list of all participants on Melinda’s blog.

Let’s have some fun!

This card was so much fun to make. I had to get creative when I discovered that I forgot to buy pattern paper from the new catalog! Don’t worry, I have some on it’s way now and I will show that off in future blog posts 🙂 I do love this set. The title sentiment, “You Warm My Heart,” is perfect for winter and Christmas cards, and all the rest are fun too. I can’t wait to create more with this stamp set!

Now on to the card. . . I cut a piece of White Daisy that would fully cover the card, so I could easily stamp the border and have the option of starting over if I needed (who hasn’t had to turn the page over and stamp again at least once!). I used the little flower (that matches the mug) to stamp in Scarlet around the edge of my cover piece. Then I added Blue Belle to make a mat for the Scarlet paper.

I stamped the mug in Scarlet and used the little oval stamp to add almond for the coffee inside. It’s so cute! Then I used my basic and stitched circle dies to cut the White Daisy and Blue Bell circles.
Finally, I used Micro-Tip non-stick scissors to cut out the mug.

My fiance suggested putting the sentiment inside the mug, so I used a craft knife to make a slit in the stamp so I could slide the sentiment down a bit to look like it was in the cup. I think that was the perfect finishing touch.

I hope you enjoyed your visit. I’d love for you to leave a comment before you “Hop” on over to Kathy’s blog and check out her work.

Here is an assembly video for this card!

Happy Hopping!
