MFTWSC92 Dakota Cowboy Birthday Card

Here is a card that I made for the MFTWSC92 Challenge.

About a month ago, I had the pleasure of winning a gift voucher for $10 to My Favorite Things website. I quickly bought this cute cowboy stamp to go with my favorite masculine paper pack from Close To My Heart.

Here is the sketch that I used to create this adorable card.

Recipe:
Paper: Dakota, Black CS, White Daisy CS (CTMH); Stamp: Pure Innocence - Cowboy (MFT); Ink: Black (CTMH); Tools: Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge, Micro-Tip Scissors, Paper-Piercer, Watercolor Pencils, Blending Pen (CTMH), Embossing Folder (SU!); Other: Antique Copper Brads, Black Embroidery Floss (CTMH)

This is the first time I've had the chance to ink up this fun stamp. It is fabulous quality. Have a happy, crafty day!

National Stamping Month Blog Hop

Welcome to our National Stamping Month Blog Hop! Today, we are featuring an exclusive double-stamp set titled "It's Your Day".

It's Your Day double stamp set #CC1020

If you have come here from {Jen Rubio's Blog}, you are on the right path!

This layout was inspired by Creating Keepsakes Magazine September/October 2012 Issue (Page 78). I loved the vertical orientation, and the large star (10"). The embellishments caught my eye and I knew this stamp set would be perfect to bring it all together. A quick tip on the funky sentiment shapes: I just used a curvy label (1 1/2") cut in half. I like how it sort of mimics a cloud shape, and the polka dot background stamp provided a really fun way to create my own patterned paper.

Now "Hop" on over to {Lalia's Blog} to see her lovely artwork. Contact your CTMH Consultant (or click here) to place your order. This stamp set is perfect for a wide variety of projects including the much hyped "Project  Life". You can get this exclusive double stamp set for just $5 when you place a minimum order of $35 in full retail products from August 15th through September 30th, 2012.

Thanks for stopping by! Don't forget to leave a comment on my Dakota Cards and Free Giveaway post (8/11/12) to enter for the chance to win a free stamp set!

I wanted to show you a close-up of the items that come in the Wrangler Assortment (see below).

Z1780 Wrangler Assortment

Isn't this assortment wonderful? All items are adhesive-backed for easy application. How's that for "faster, simpler and easier"?! The pearl buttons made me think of the snap buttons that I found on my dad's old shirts hanging in a closet when I was a little girl. 

If you'd like to purchase any of the items you've seen here, click here and it will take you to my website.

Now, if you've taken the time to read all that, I have a special give-away (see image below) today in honor of my birthday. Please leave me a comment below and I will pick one lucky random winner on Wednesday, August 15th.
