A Little Bit of Pun CTMH SOTM Blog Hop

Welcome to the December 2017 SOTM Blog Hop featuring the stamp set A Little Bit of Pun. I am sorry that we are a couple of days later than usual; we encountered some technical difficulties that were out of our control. This month there are several 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.

You should have arrived here from ***Stampin' Maui by Jean McNulty***. If you get lost along the way, Melinda Everitt keeps a list of participants on her blog at If You Bling It.

I think this stamp set and 3" x 3" cards and envelopes are the perfect combination to create Valentine's Day cards for exchanging at school.

You cannot see it because of the stamped cupcake, but I stamped a "ribbon" strip using the larger hearts.

Before you head to ***Gina Brandstetter's Gina's Little Corner of StampinHeaven***, the supplies I used to create my project are listed below.

All supplies are from Close To My Heart except where noted:

• My Acrylix™ Stamp Set: December 2017 SOTM: A Little Bit of Pun (S1712)
• 3" x 3" cards and envelopes - Share a Smile Card Bases & Envelopes (CC1343) from the Going Soon! section or create them from White Daisy cardstock

If you are not already working with a CTMH Independent Consultant, you may purchase all of the supplies I used at my Consultant website.

Before you leave I would be delighted if you left me a comment letting me know what you think of my cards. I hope you are finding many fun ideas for how you might use the December SOTM. Thank you for hopping with us!
