1/2 Dozen Ways to Use the Close To My Heart June Stamp of the Month

The June Stamp of the Month Monday is all happening - 
RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW - enjoy!

1. Be Rad

Get in touch with your inner Mod Squad, Scooby-mobile, and Pete Max by stamping the cute ice cream truck with flowers!

Yes, I drew the sentiment.

and here is another sentiment I drew (made up, too?)

2. Be "Quasi-Amorphic"

Enjoy a "quasi-amorphic" serendipitous experience when you add eyes (think googly) and alter the "mouth" a bit.

Or perhaps this would be the perfect "down, but not out" card.

For the "down, but not out" card, I'd add just the top of the cone underneath the dips.

3. Triple DiPP FUNN

There is always a cute paper piecing "Happy" triple-dipp ice cream card. This could be very birthday-centric.

I'm thinking strawberry, French vanilla, and pistachio. 

What do you think?

4. Reward Tracker

Have a few behaviors yet to hone with the kidds this summer?

"Will work for ice cream" ring true at your house?

Blend them into one happy reward tracker.

Here is a FUNN way to encourage your little ones to get better at something-er-other!

Base: 5" x 7.25"

Cards: 2.5" x 3" (mats)

Inking technique: masking and sponging ink

Pocket: 1.5" x 6.75" (use liquid glue on sides and bottom, run one bead of glue up the middle for 2 pockets - short way)

the numbers are from the alpha set you get in the Artfully Sent Cricut Cartridge from 

Close To My Heart.

Make two "belt loops" to hold the goal reminder in. Pretty slick way to be able to change your mind!

FUNN TIPPS

start ahead of time - prep the "team" so to speak

make the goal age appropriate

make the goal attainable - we all want to go out for ice cream!

keep on the fridge with magnets

make a layout of all the successes at the end of the summer.

5. Don't be afraid of white

This little truck is so cute, 

leave it white with colorful accents - 

maybe some of those B&T scraps 

you have laying around?

Don't be afraid of "mixing media", either!

Paper piecing, 

ShinHan Twin Touch markers, 

and Water color pencils - all groovy.

FUNN TIPP: keep the color intensity

 in all the same for each element.

6. PUPPY EATING ICE CREAM CONE!

Need I say more?

and here is one of my adorable "grand dogs"

 enjoying one of the best inventions ever, ice cream!

Be sure to get your June Stamp of the Month!

To paraphrase a great stamp sentiment,

"You can't buy happiness, but you can buy Close To My Heart products & that's the same kind of thing."
