CTMH Australasian Blog Hop - S1609 Blessed Beyond Measure SOTM


Hello and welcome aboard our Close To My Heart September 2016 Blessed Beyond Measure Stamp of the Month Australasian Blog Hop. If you have arrived here from Shaunna Richards' Passionate About Pages, you are in the right place. If you landed here by accident, no problem, please join in by following the link at the end of this post.

Today, I would like to share with you a few simple card projects that I have created featuring the September Stamp of the Month, Blessed Beyond Measure. This stamp set is available only in September 2016 for $27, or for just $7.50 when you spend $75 or more.
I combined the "Thankful" and "for you" sentiments from the Stamp of the Month and created these 3 super-quick and easy cards using up some of my leftovers from the Workshops Your Way Swan Lake Scrapbooking Kit (after I had made the gorgeous layouts from this kit). Swan Lake is one of the four new Creative Collections featured in our NEW Holiday Expressions Idea Book which launched TODAY! 


The first card is a very simple design where the gorgeous patterned paper is the hero.  The sentiment is stamped in Peacock and Poppy on White Daisy Cardstock and a small heart from the Swan Lake Complements is used to complete the grouping of three. 

Ingredients: (you can find all of these products in my online shop)

The second card is a variation on the first card design, featuring more patterned paper from the Swan Lake Paper Packet.

The final card features even more gorgeous patterned paper from the Swan Lake Paper Packet.  When you use patterned paper to decorate cards, they really don't need very much added to them in the way of stamping or extra decoration.  In fact, a sentiment and a few embellishments is all they need.
