Live Out Loud (July SOTM Blog Hop)

Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop which features the Live Out Loud stamp set from Close To My Heart.  This SOTM has a nice variety of sentiments with interesting fonts and phrases.  

If you have come here from Sarita's 'Blessed Scrapper' blog, you are on the right path!  With over 50 Close To My Heart Consultants sharing their creations, there will be a nice variety of different colors, papers, and creative ideas.  Blog Hopping is simple to do - just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move to the next one!

For this standard-sized card, an image from the Live Out Loud set was stamped using Black ink, and then color was added to the words using colored pencils.  Layering bright colored card stock with black and white card stock gives a fun, teen-age feel to this card.  A bit of bling was added using CTMH's self-adhesive colored Sparkles in different shapes and sizes. The layered starbursts were cut using the Art Philosophy cartridge for the Cricut machine.

Now "Hop" on over to Adeline's 'Welcome to My Creative Space' blog to see her work!  Be sure to visit all the Consultants at their blogs to get some great crafting inspiration and other fun ideas!  Remember, the Live Out Loud stamp set is only available during the month of July 2012.  The regular price is $17.95, or you can purchase it for only $5 with a minimum order of $50 in other CTMH products.

If you get lost on the Blog Hop or find links that aren't working, there is a complete list of all participating blogs on Helen's 'Hooked on Stamping' blog.
