Illuminate that Nose, Rudolph!

I just LOVE this time of year!  I love the gift planning, the crafting, the music, and the movies!  It really takes me back to my childhood each year as the television stations show the traditional Christmas movies.  My favorite of these has always been Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.  I knew that this beautiful reindeer cut would end up having a shiny red nose at some point in my crafting...but I never dreamed there would be an entire stamp set of sentiments just begging to go with it!

The November Stamp of the Month from Close to My Heart is a dream come true!  Check out all these shiny, sparkly sentiments!

Any of them would be BRILLIANT on this card, so here is just one possibility!

Check out that shiny nose!  I used a teeny little "shine" stamp from the same set to set his nose aglow.  I colored a Bitty Sparkle with a red sharpie to make his red nose.

Rudolph has such a warm and loving heart even though his appearance was scoffed by the others, so I love this sentiment to go along with this card.

I hope you will consider adding this beautiful stamp set to your collection.  It is truly my favorite stamp set of this Idea Book!  Just remember, it is only available during the Month of  November, so get it before it is gone!  :)  This versatile set is only $17.95 at regular price, but you can even get it for $5 with a $50 purchase from my Close to My Heart website!  Just add $50 worth of CTMH goodies to your basket and you will be prompted to add the Stamp of the Month when you get to that amount.  Have fun shopping!  :)  Here are some other projects made with it to get your juices flowing.

I am linking this card up with the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog which is having a CAS week!  :)

Meet Close to My Heart's November Stamp of the Month, Illuminate!

Hi, everyone!  I have been looking forward to November for a number of reasons, one of them being that I ADORE the Stamp of the Month available from Close to My Heart.  In November, you can either purchase this beautiful My Acrylix set for the regular price of $17.95, OR when you make a purchase of $50 from my website, you can add it to your cart for only $5!  Take a look...

Illuminate - November 2013 Stamp of the Month

I even designed a card a few months ago in anticipation of this set being released, and I finished it up now that I actually HAVE it!  Remember this card I made with the Laughing Lola papers and Cityscape My Acrylix?

 I finally got to finish the inside!  :)

Remember, the stamp of the month is called just that because it is only available for ONE month.  Don't wait to get yours...the busy Holiday season is just around the corner!  ;)

I can't wait to show you more ways to use this one!
