CTMH August Stamp-of-the-Month Blog Hop: Chocolate!

I'm back for another Stamp-of-the-Month Blog Hop!  It seems like it's been a while since I participated.  But with this month's stamp set, I couldn't refuse.  If you came from Lalia's blog, you're on the right track.  If you're starting here at my blog, just keep hopping until you get back here.

This month's stamp set is so sweet, literally.  It's all about chocolate!  What girl would not love this set?  Here's what it looks like:


And, if you were here tonight, at my New Catalogue Kick-Off, you created this card:


I used the new Laughing Lola paper packet and cut four strips from the big flower pattern.  Those were attached to the back of an overlay cut from White Daisy cardstock.  The overlay was cut at 2 3/4", with Real Dial Size on.  It's Shift, Overlay, Football key.  I backed the entire overlay with a piece of Lagoon.
The image piece is cut from the same key, just the Photo Mat 1 function, at 2 1/4" and in Lagoon at 2 1/2".  Here's a close up of the image piece:


I added a piece of Black Shimmer Trim at the top; can you see the sparkle?  The sentiment is two stamps, loaded on the same block, and stamped in Black.  Then I added some 2nd and 3rd generation stamping in Lagoon and Black with the new Hostess stamp set, Washi Wonder.  I LOVE washi tape so this set made me very excited.  :)

Now, hop on over to Teresa's blog and check out what she's created for you.  Don't forget to contact your consultant to get your hands on this stamp set.  You can even get it for FREE this month!

Happy Creating!
