CTMH January Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Welcome to the Close to My Heart Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for January! We have dozens of talented consultants participating this month - - which means tons of fabulous artwork ideas to inspire you! This month we are showcasing the "True Friends" stamp set - a set of 11 images! Enjoy!

(Hopping is easy to do, at the end of each post on the Hop there will be a link to the next blog!)

I absolutely love this stamp set - so I have a few projects to share with you today!

The first is a card box to hold A2 sized greeting cards.  I was inspired to make this project by last week's challenge on the Project Tuesday Blog. 

The card box is super easy to make & you can find a link to the template & instructions on the Project Tuesday site.

My next project is the card that I made to go inside the card box.  The card design is simple - perfect to make a few of to put in the box and give as a gift!  The card design is this week's sketch at Clean & Simple Stamping.
