Adore You January 2017 Blog Hop

Welcome to the January 2017 SOTM Blog Hop. This month there are over 20 bloggers sharing projects they created with the CTMH Stamp Of The Month. If blog hopping is new to you, we try to keep it easy: just keep clicking on the link to the next blog (typically near the bottom of the post) to visit the next stop. Our blog hop is circular so visiting the next blog will take you back to where you started.

The Stamp Of The Month for January 2017 is Adore You and is a set of 12 stamps.

You should have arrived here from ***jd designs by Jennifer Dykstra***. If you get lost along the way, Melinda Everitt keeps a list of participants on her blog at If You Bling It.

My niece got married yesterday and I thought this stamp set would be the perfect start to create a wedding card for her and her new husband. I worked with my mother to create this card she would give to them.

I made my own 5" x 7" card base from White Daisy cardstock. The heart floral stamp was stamped on the white decorative layer and then I used a craft knife to cut out the inside of the heart. So the layer was not so stark white, I stamped Adore in second generation Pixie ink. I strategically cut the Whimsy Fundamentals so the word "love" would appear through the heart. I added the white decorative layer to the card using 3-D Foam Tape. The fussy cut floral spray and the sentiment were added with Thin 3-D Foam Tape.

Before you head to ***Michelle Loncar's Show and Tell, with Michelle***, the supplies I used to create my project are listed below.
