♥ MME stampy love ♥

good morning!  how was your weekend?  did you enjoy all things card making?  what a fun, and wonderful holiday.  i can't wait to get started checking out all the amazing creations this week.


 i am up on the MME blog with the new OCTOBER CHALLENGE.

 this month's challenge: is to incorporate stamping into your project. It can be a layout, a card, a mini album, an altered piece...the sky is the limit. 


i chose to use the MME The Sweetest Thing Stamps on the cards i created for this challenge.   These stamps are some of my favorites ever.  I love how crisp the images are and how beautiful the images and sentiments work together.  while stamps can seem intimidating at first, if you start with a background or block of card stock, it can make the process so much fun and rewarding.

i created a little stamping tutorial to go along with the challenge today.  i am going to share with you a step by step process for creating a card using the hexagon stamp in the The Sweetest Thing Happiness Stamps

Here is the card I created 

you are so wonderful card

step 1:  stamp hexagons onto white card stock

I also created another card using the gorgeous doily stamps in the MME The Sweetest Thing Cutie Pie set.

  Finishing the card is made easy with the gorgeous chipboard and paper flags and brads.

 I love to stamp a background and MME makes that so easy with gorgeous stamps and gorgeous chipboard to layer on top of the stamped background.

cards supplies:  MME The Sweetest Thing "Cutie Pie and Happiness" stamp sets,  "Honey" simply lovely decorative brads and "perfect" chipboard elements, "Love" enamel dots, Tangerine chipboard pieces and decorative tape
