RemARKable Stamp of the Month Blog Tour

Hello!  Welcome to the RemARKable Stamp of the Month Blog Tour.  This month's stamp set is "Ciao, Baby!" The images in this stamp set are the perfect size for the Petite Curly Label punch that you can get FREE during Sale-A-Bration with an order of $50 (before tax and shipping).  But, hurry -- Sale-A-Bration ends on March 22, 2013.  The 7/8" Scallop Circle punch is also perfect for this stamp set.

129648  $13.95  Clear Mount

I made two cards -- one using the 7/8" Scallop Circle punch and one using the Petite Curly Label punch.  I got the inspiration for my first card from a gift bag I purchased at Target. 

This gift bag coordinates perfectly with Chocolate Chip, Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery, and Whisper White!

Here's the card I made:

Close-up of the stamped image and lots of layers assembled with Stampin' Dimensionals!
I love layering with Stampin' Dimensionals, don't you?
 

I stamped the "Oh, baby" stamp with Bashful Blue ink onto Whisper White card stock and used the 7/8" Scallop Circle punch to punch it out.  Then, I pulled out some Stampin' Dimensionals and went to town on these layers!  I used the 1" Circle punch, 1 1/4" Scallop Circle punch, 1 3/8" Circle punch, 1 3/4" Scallop Circle punch, and 2 3/8" Scallop Circle punch for the layers. 

 

I used the 3/4" Circle punch, 1" Circle punch, and the 1 1/4" Circle punch and Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery, and Chocolate Chip card stock to punch circles for the background.  Our Chocolate Chip 1/2" Scallop Dots Ribbon is the perfect touch and ties all of the elements together. 

 

I was even a little "circle-happy" on the inside of the card:
