Hello and welcome aboard our Nature themed Australasian Close to My Heart Blog Hop. 

If you have arrived here from Doris’ Creative Inspiriations then 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 soem card creations which features the April Stamp of The Month, a sneak of the May Stamp of the Month and some of my other fav products from Close To My Heart.

The April Stamp of the Month (S2304) – Sweet Tweets is a cutie. The birds and darling sentiments really do lend themselves to cards. And I’ve seen some beautiful examples from my crafty friends that have some beautiful colouring of the birds, however I feel that in this instance leaving them black and white makes them pop off the colours in the background papers. The background glacier print paper and the strip of arrows are from my stash of treasures. The wood grain and hesian look paper is one of the new double sided papers from the April-June Mix in Paper collection X9048. This paper has some great neutral pattern and texture papers that compliment not only the papers in the April-June Seasonal Expression Catalogue, but many other papers in our previous ranges. The stars and hearts are from a packet of enamel dots that I the coloured with Metallic Paint Markers.

Using up more of my treasures and the woodgrain/hessian paper again – this is a sneak peak at the May Stamp of the Month S2305 – Little Stinkers.

And this card is using the same papers, Melon Flowers (Z4642) with a Bitty Sparkle (Z1263) in the centre. And some stamps from my stash.

The April (or May next month) Stamp of the Month can be yours for just $9 with a qualifying order of $80 or for $35.50 if ordered separately from your CTMH Maker.  Or of you are a VIP you can get it FREE with a qualifying order. Not a VIP? Ask your Maker or click here.
