Candy Cane Alphabet S1812 CTMH Australasian Stamp of the Month

Welcome to our Australasian Blog Hop. A group of us have been creating with the "Candy Cane Alphabet—December Stamp of the Month" Stamp set. If you have arrived here from Doris Taylor then you are in the right place. If you landed here another way, please join in by following the link at the end of this post. Follow the links, check out all the amazing ideas and eventually you'll come right back here to where you started. 

Today I would like to share with you my projects which feature the Candy Cane Alphabet—December Stamp of the Month available exclusively throughout December 2018 for $29.50 or for just $8.25 when you spend $82.50. 

This stamp set with the Stamp of the Month Discount is perfect to get TWO sets so you can have two of each letter, especially vowels :) I got myself two of these sets so I don't have to leave gaps and fill them in later. 

So I decided to do a Christmas Card and thought at First I would write "Merry Christmas" but that has 3 R's in it. So nope I only have two sets and I didn't want to leave gaps, I wanted to stamp all at once... I wanted one stamp and so decided on "HAPPY CHRISTMAS". 

I lined it up on my VersaMat™ the right way and then stuck my block on top. I made sure it was less than 5.5 inches (the width of the card and envelope set). 

 Once I was happy with the stamping on scrap paper with Candy Apple Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad. I stamped the Candy Apple onto 2.25 x 5.5 inch white cardstock. 

After I stamped the Happy Christmas with the Candy Cane Alphabet, I stamped the Holly and Christmas trees from Christmas Countdown stamp set with 

Candy Apple Ink and Fern Ink. 

Christmas Countdown D1799

I cut 1x5.5 inch strips of the red check paper from 'Tis the Season Paper Packet 

and put them on the top and bottom of the card. Quite happy with how this turned out. Another easy to replicate Christmas card for the kids friends Christmas cards. 

 Remember this great stamp set Candy Cane Alphabet—December Stamp of the Month is only available throughout December from my website or from your Close to My Heart Consultant. If you don't have a Close to My Heart Consultant feel free to contact me either on this blog or via my website HERE.

Zip strips and off cut of red stripes. I cut my own tag shape and stamped the Ho Ho Ho M sized stamp set in black ink and inked the edges. Then I used 3D foam tape to have it be 3D and added Whisper Thick Twine that I had split it in half. 

This one was offcuts of the red cranberry cardstock (from the pack), Silver Foil Tape 
the Joy was from a stamp set from last year. and Clear Sparkles. The star was cut with the CTMH cricut cartridge (slightly stretched on computer).

This one was an offcut of Black Glitter paper with the paper and the Very Merry was the last years Christmas stamp called unsurprisingly "Verry Merry"... hehehehee...

Some zip strips and offcuts. the Merry Christmas from last year and the Gold Glitter Gems
