Spread the Love

Welcome to our Spread The Love Blog Hop, brought to you by the same ladies who participate in the monthly Stamp-of-the-Month Blog Hop. Close To My Heart has created this special stamp set so you can "spread the love" and help support Operation Smile. CTMH will donate $7 of the proceeds from each Share The Love stamp set sold to Operation Smile. This organization provides surgeries to repair cleft lips and palates for children all over the world.

If you arrived here from Priscilla's Paperie, you are hopping through our circle of Close To My Heart consultants sharing their projects.

Isn't she cute? This sweet little girl is from the True Love stamp set and was colored by daubing ink with a cotton swab. Three different papers with geometric shapes from the Jeepers Creepers packet were used to create this simple card. The card sketch is a rotated version of pattern #22 from Make It From Your Heart volume 1.

Please visit Jen's Jewel Box to continue along our Spread The Love Blog Hop.

If you get lost along the way, the complete list of participants is available on Melinda's 'If You Bling It' blog.

All papers and stamps are from Close To My Heart (CTMH).

Handmade Card = Paper Hug

Since the Heart 2 Heart Challenges blog is featuring the Florence paper pack this month, I was inspired to create a card using images from the True Love stamp set. This is the new Close To My Heart special stamp set to benefit Operation Smile. With every True Love stamp set sold, CTMH will donate $7 of the process to Operation Smile, a non-profit organization that provides surgeries to repair cleft lips and palates in children.

Three different papers from the Florence kit were used along with two new ribbons from the Rustic Home Ribbon Pack. The new Shimmer Brush was used to add a bit of shimmer around the outline of the sentiment, and also to the heart-shaped balloons. Card design is based on Sketch #25 in Make It From Your Heart Volume 2.
