"Choose Happy"...March Stamp Of The Month Blog Hop

Welcome to the March Stamp Of The Month Blog Hop! If you came from Donna's Blog, then you're in the right place. If you got lost along the way, then please check Melinda's Blog for the full list of hoppers.



I was a bit baffled on what to make for this month's stamp set, but after looking closely and tilting it from side to side...voila! I saw a quatrefoil, and I ended up making my own designer paper with it. I stamped the designs with a White Daisy Exclusive Inks Stamp Pad on Black Cardstock, and slightly smudged it to give it a chalk effect. I also used Cranberry, White Daisy, and Champagne Cardstock, and Champagne Paper Fundamental. To accessorize, I added Black Striped Twill Ribbon, Sequins Silver Assortment, White Shimmer Trim and Sparkles Black Flourishes Small.

Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge #131

We have another fun color challenge at Color My Heart Color Dare!


I decided to use the February Stamp Of The Month for this challenge since the fun flower patterns are reflective of the equally fun colors for this week.


I stamped the flowers in Outdoor Denim, Honey, Sunset and Olive Exclusives Ink Stamp Pads. The background paper is from Scaredy Cat, and I punched triangle borders with the Triangle Border Punch. I also added some Honey Triangles Washi Tape to make my white pennant wider.

Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge #130

This week's color inspiration at Color My Heart Color Dare are:
White Daisy and Silver (or Slate/Whisper)

I was thinking of Victorian tin ceilings when the colors came to mind, and I went with that inspiration for my card. I stamped on White Daisy Cardstock "U & I" from Baroque Alphabet (retired), using Versamark Ink Pad and embossed it with Ranger Silver Super Fine Embossing Powder. I dry embossed a piece of Slate Cardstock with Damask Embossing Folder for my background, and punched the edges with a Scalloped Border Punch. I added strips of White Shimmer Trim, Silver Shimmer Trim and a Silver Sequin at the center of the Slate Diagonal Stripe Ribbon bow for more sparkle.

Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge# 129

Valentine's Day is coming soon, but we at Color My Heart Color Dare are celebrating it a few days early with this week's inspirational colors from the Heartstrings paper packet:


I made a fast and easy card using the extras that I had from making my Heartstrings layouts. The "Love" was cut from Cricut Artbooking at 2 1/2" using Cranberry Cardstock. To add some interest in the card, I punched the border using the Scallop Border Punch and a chevron design at the bottom of the card using Chevron Border Punch. The sentiment was stamped using the January Stamp Of The Month. I added a button from Heartstrings Assortment and some Red Enamel Hearts as the card's accent pieces.

Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge #128

This week's color inspiration at Color My Heart Color Dare is:



I made a single page layout using my Cricut Artbooking Cartridge. The background is Kraft Cardstock, and the additional pieces for the layout were cut from Cranberry, Black, White Daisy and Flaxen Cardstock. For embellishments, I kept things simple with the Red Shimmer Trim and Black Arrow Washi Tape.
