August SOTM Blog Hop - Framed

Welcome to the August Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! If you are coming from Jen Rubio's blog you are on the right track! This month CTMH Consultants are featuring the awesome set of 12 stamps , Framed.

I decided to get a head start on Christmas Cards by creating a trio of cards! And, since each frame coordinates with the new Cricut Artistry Cartridge cutting each shape was a breeze! Here's a tip for you...if you are using neutral cardstock cut a full sheet of each shape and tuck them into the back of your stamp envelope. That way when your short on time you can pull one out and stamp in your preferred color!

Each card features one of the frames in the stamp set. I kept it uniform by stamping the frame in black and heat embossed each sentiment. Keeping your ink colors to a minimum really saves time if you are planning on making bulk cards in a single setting! Here's a close-up of each card along with a list of supplies used:
