November 2010 CTMH Spotlight Blog Hop Featuring Christmas Stamps

Welcome to the November 2010 CTMH Spotlight Blog Hop.  This month we are featuring Christmas Stamps.  If you've just arrived from {Jenifer's} blog, you are on the right path.  If you are just starting here, simply click on the link at the end of the post to go to the next blog on our circular hop.

I am simply ADORING the cute little "A" stamp sets.  Firstly, the prices were recently reduced, and I can't resist a bargain!  But most importantly, they are fantastic little sets in a cute little package.  For this month's project, I used A Timber, which features a flourished Christmas tree, a few additional decorations, some flourishes, and the "Happy Holidays" sentiment.  I also broke out my package of Colonial White Circle Cards and the Mistletoe Creative Basics pack.  I stamped the cute flourished tree in New England Ivy on Garden Green cardstock, then cut it out.  The card front was covered with the patterned paper, the sentiment was stamped on a chipboard ribbon slide (which was sponged with Bamboo ink), and then the chipboard was slid onto the gold ribbon from the Creative basics pack.  Some 3-D Mounting foam to attach the tree to the card front, a few CTMH Sparkles, and there we have an adorable little card.  Little does NOT have to equal boring! 

I hope you're inspired to use one of your smaller stamp sets to create something fun!  Now hop on over to {Chris'} blog for some more Christmas project inspiration.
