Wood Grains With....

Rustic Home Fundamentals

The Rustic Home Fundamentals wood grains and the sketch

from Atlantic Hearts bring this cards to you at Heart 2 Heart.

Love the old fashioned vintage look of these papers with a

Christmas tree from Cozy Christmas and a touch of a burlap bow.

Using this sketch from Atlantic Hearts I switched the square

sentiment block for an oval to give it a more vintage look with

the rustic papers. Be sure to check out the Rustic Home Fundamentals

for that rustic nature look to your projects. Be sure to share at Heart 2 Heart.

Random Stamping

National Stamping Month

Happy STAMPtember all month. National Stamping Month is 

a great time to just play with your stamps and create just to relax.

Random stamping is a fun way to play and create your own personal

background and texture papers with your own choice of colors and stamps.

I used the stamp sets With You  and Shower Flowers for my CTMH stamping 

project at Heart 2 Heart and my random stamped project to share at

 Between the Folds. This stamp set is extra fun because it uses two step stamping 

for the flowers and the flowers are also cut on the Cricut Flower Market cartridge. 

I am also including a short tutorial for random stamping with a pop.

Cut a piece of White Daisy for your random stamping. Stamp one flower on it.

Stamp a second flower in a triangle format around the first flower.

Add leaves to each flower with first and second generation stamping.

Fill in the empty spaces with the small stamps from Shower Flowers.

Stamp your sentiment and mount on coordinating CS.

With this stamp set you can pop up the first stamped flower

by stamping the two step flower on the cricut cut out and popping it up.

Have fun in STAMPtember all month. Come back and share at Heart 2 Heart.
