National Stamping Month: say a big “hello” to life!

A Happy Hello and welcome aboard our National Stamping Month Australasian, Close to My Heart Blog Hop.

If you have arrived here from the amazingly creative Lauren Moore- CTMH Craftings 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.

September is National Stamping Month, and this year Close To My Heart has something to help every kind of papercrafter say a big “hello” to life!

Available only during the month of September, these exclusive C-size My Acrylix® Hello, Life! stamp sets can be purchased for $21 AUD Or, for an even better deal, you can purchase all three for only $53 AUD. I created this scrapbook layout with them.

CTMH National Stamping Month- Scrapbooking Layout

The flowers were stamped with watercolour paint, which I went back over to smooth out the colour spread with a paint brush. I spattered green watercolour pain over the kraft cardstock.

Added some doodling & the stamps from the various Hello, Life! stamp sets .I also created a sketch for this layout which will work if turned 180 degree so you start with the large 6×4 photo first..

These stamp sets also coordinate with shapes from the new Cricut® Artistry collection to help expand your artwork options even further.

Remember, these stamp sets are available for one month only, so get your orders in for one stamp set-or all three-before these gorgeous stamps disappear!

I’d love for you to leave a comment before heading off to the next stop, the very talented: Jo Armstrong – Jo’s Close to My Heart Craftroom who I am sure will showcase something amazing with the National Stamping Month stamp sets.

Enjoy the hop!

    1. I love all forms of papercraft, but generally make more cards than scrapbooking. But I try to do some more scrapbooking when the mood strikes. Glad you enjoyed it.

  5. Your flowers look like a beautiful window box – might pull out some photos of European streets in summer and try this layout
