#30yearsofhappy Blog Hop

How fun - celebrating 30 years of Close to my Heart creativity!  And what better way than with this adorable stamp set, #30yearsofhappy, which is a set of 30 mini stamps and includes both images and sentiments.  I am quite happy to be part of this great blog hop where I get to join forces with 40 other CTMH consultants to share with you our creations in hopes of providing you with a bit of creative inspiration!  If you have arrived here from Kristine Ponte's blog, Home With Studio K, then you are on the right path!  Since the blog hop is a great big circle, you can start here and work all the way around.  If you get lost along the way, you'll find the complete list of participating consultants on Melinda's Blog. This is the front of my card...

To complete this card:

• Cut White Daisy cardstock measuring 8 x 6 inches and folded to achieve a 4x6 inch card base
• Cut 1 x 6 inch strips from Sunset, Cotton Candy, Hollyhock and Cranberry card stock.
• Emboss the four strips with the Damask Embossing Folder
• Cut four 1 x 1 inch squares from White Daisy cardstock
• Stamp the Heart image on one of the four squares using Sunset Exclusive Ink Stamp Pad
• Stamp the Heart image on one of the four squares using Cotton Candy Exclusive Ink Stamp Pad
• Stamp the Heart image on one of the four squares using Hollyhock Exclusive Ink Stamp Pad
• Stamp the Heart image on one of the four squares using Cranberry Exclusive Ink Stamp Pad
• If desired, trim the top and/or bottom of each of the squares to help center the image on the cut.
• Using the corresponding ink and a Sponge Dauber, ink the edges of each square.
• Attach each of the embossed strips to the card base in the order shown.
• Using 3D Foam Tape, attach each stamped square on each strip, beginning about 1 inch from the top of the card, along a diagonal line.
