Hello and welcome, friends! Who's ready to celebrate?! I know I am! It's Stamp It! Cards week and I am so exciting to be a part of the Stamp It! Cards Week Blog Hop!
Have you seen the Stamp It! Cards magazine yet? It's wonderful and chocked full of amazing creations, what a blessing it is to be apart of it. This is my first time ever seeing my cards in a Paper Crafts issue. Once the issue became available, I searched my little town high and low for one, with no avail. What torture that was! It was definitely worth the wait though.
Now here is your chance to participate in the fun! Moxie Fab World blog and Paper Crafts Connection blog have joined together to celebrate, by hosting a stamping challenge called The Olympics of Stamping. All you have to do is create and submit a stamped card in the following themes: Birthday, Thank You, Thinking of You/Hello, Love and Season's Greetings. These categories also happen to coincide with the Stamping Royalty Contest. So, once you've submitted your challenge cards over at the Moxie Fab World Blog, be sure to send it into the magazine contest as well.
In honor of Stamp It! Cards Week, 11 of the top contributors to this special issue are participating in a fun blog hop. We each created a hand stamped card to share with you all for today. Here is my creation, using some Papertrey Ink stamping supplies...
I stamped an Aqua Mist cardstock strip with Background Basic: Tin Types (in Versamark) and attached it to a White cardstock strip. Use the Butterfly Die to cut a negative space from the strip and mounted white cardstock, stamped with button images from Studio Style (in Aqua Mist and Berry Sorbet), behind it. Attached it over a Kraft Small Scalloped Border and card base, then wrapped with embroidery floss.
Be sure to stop by and see what the other ladies have created...
