Here's a two-page layout made with it...each image can be cut using the NEW Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge (only available through CTMH Consultants)...

The stockings and the tree were cut using the A/P Cartridge....so CONVENIENT!!!!  I also used some of our Silver Glitz Glitter Gel to adorn the stockings and the tree...

Glory to God...

I just {heart} this stamp set soooooo much!!!!  It takes me back to all the wonderful stories I've been told about my Saviors birth!

I saw this card (link will be posted soon) and immediately wanted to try it out with Glory to God stamp set from CTMH.  I also tried to mimic the colors...although not really ones I would put together on my own, I think they work really well together!

The card is 6 x 6...I used Kraft Cardstock (I know...you guys are probably getting tired of it...but I LOVE IT!!!) and Colonial White Cardstock to mat all the B&T...a couple of paper packets - Sophia (Pear Polka Dot B&T) and Typeset (Juniper B&T)...I used ribbon from the Designer Green Collection (wide Juniper ribbon) and Black Ribbon Rounds (on SALE now for only $4)...I threw in some Holiday Red by using Red Sparkles and a Red Button....

Here's a closeup...

Another 'So Grateful'....

Here's is the other card I made using So Grateful stamp set....I saw a card similar to this online with three little pumpkins stamped (once I track down the card, I'll post a link)...I immediately began thinking of CTMH products I could use to reproduce the card...

 ---------------------
Here's a closeup of the pumpkin...LOVE that the words can be nicely stamped over the solid pumpkin image (I used second generation stamping with Goldrush Ink)...
 ------------------------
I used 3-D Foam Tape to pop off the top layer of Kraft Cardstock...it also makes a nice hiding place for the tied hemp in the back...

So Grateful...

The minute I saw this stamp set, I knew I'd be making something with it...I also knew it would use Kraft Cardstock and our NEW Dreamin' Paper Packet! 

Here's one card I made and I'll have another card to share tomorrow...

The card is kinda a weird size (4-1/4" x 6-1/2") to accommodate the focal image...

Also...I found when working with our Kraft Cardstock, it's texture makes it hard for some adhesives to stick so you have apply your desired adhesive generously and make sure you press down hard.

Cherish the Day Blog Hop...

I'd love to lie and say that November snuck up on me but I've been fully aware that it's been lurking around the corner. This time of year always sneaks up on me and each year, I promise to me more organized than the last...but, each year, I disappoint!  I think it's the fact that it's football season, the weather is getting cooler (or is supposed to be for us West Texans...lol), we start countdowns to Fall Festivals, carving pumpkins, claiming stakes for whose house we're going to spend what holiday...schedules just get full...really fast! 

My favorite time of year always comes when I'm least prepared and always leaves me as fast as it comes.  At least I have my monthly Blog Hops!!!

This month, we're using Cherish the Day...which is FULL of monthly tags that can be cut using the NEW A/P Cartridge...

Now...let's get on to what you've all been hopping around to see...

If you've come from Krista's Blog, you're on the right track...keep hopping 'till you get back around to where you started!

This month I chose to do a 5x7 card using Typeset Paper Packet plus some Sunset Cardstock to add some warmth...

--------------------------
Here's a couple of shots of the inside of the card...



Now...head on over to Traci's Blog and see what she's come up with this month...

Remember...you can only get this stamp set during the month of November so get in contact with your CTMH Consultant and ask how.  If you don't have a consultant, leave me a comment and I'll be more than happy to explain how you can get it for only $5!!!
