Jubilation: June Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!

Welcome to the CTMH Stamp of the Month Blog Hop. You may have found your way here from Jill's blog.

The June SOTM is Jubilation. It is a great assortment of 24 stamps covering lots of holidays or celebrations. To demonstrate the variety, I created one SIMPLE sketch and used it multiple ways. Each design uses a 3 color scheme to form a 8 x 3.5" card. If you are challenged in finding color combinations that you like, use the CTMH idea book as each section is based on a 3-4 color grouping.

Colors for card 1: Olive, Outdoor Denim and Sunset. This is 100% cardstock but the colors come from the Lucky Paper Pack. A few bitty sparkles to embelish the simplicity.

Colors for card 2: Cranberry, Pacifica and Sky from the Fanfare Paper Pack.

Colors for card 3: Lagoon, Pacifica and Sky . This is 100% cardstock but the colors come from the Magnifique Paper Pack. Embellishments are from the Lagoon Mini-Medley Accents.

Gift Card Card!

This is a fun card that holds a gift card. The base of the card is an envelope. Here is a design using the CTMH Stamp Set Tulip and papers from the Wings paper pack. The shading technique on the tulip is created by applying a light shade of ink to the stamp and then add a darker ink directly to the stamp using a sponge dauber. This example used blush and vinyard berry inks for the flower and sweat leaf and olive for the stem/leaves. Card inside with flap closed: Card inside with flap open:
