Happy 6th Birthday StampNation!!!


Hi everyone!  Today is the kickoff of StampNation's 6th Birthday Bash.  This event will last 8 days with tons of inspiration from the Design Team and members.  There are also some AMAZING prizes up for grabs.  Just look at this awesome line up of sponsors.  We are SO thankful for their generosity.


Just an FYI, a couple of the sponsors are offering products that aren't even available to the public yet!!!  How crazy awesome is that?!!  Now is definitely the time to join StampNation if you aren't already a member.  You won't regret it.  It is such an amazing and encouraging community.

I am sharing another card today to wish StampNation a very Happy Birthday.  If it looks similar to you, it is.  Did you hop along the blog hop yesterday?   This one uses the same Yay! Stripes stamp set along with the sentiment from the Enchanted Garden stamp set and the Merry Label Dies by CAS-ual Fridays in the Stamp of Approval Candy Cane Lane Collection.


 I am going to add this card over at Seize the Birthday: Anything Goes.

I hope you will join the fun over at StampNation!

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

CATHERINE POOLER INK PARTY COLLECTION RELEASE BLOG HOP



Hi everyone!  Welcome to Catherine's ink party collection release blog hop!  You should have arrived here from Taheerah's blog.  If not head on over to Catherine's blog to start at the beginning.

Catherine is releasing 8 new ink colors to the 5 previously released in the Foundations Box.  The colors are so amazing, bright and fun!!!  I love them all, so I just had to use them all on my card today.  What a gorgeous rainbow of colors. 


I used the dotted chevron stamp from the Yay! Stripes stamp set and also the Thank you from Still Smiling, both by Catherine Pooler Designs.  I used my MISTI to stamp the dotted chevrons.  After stamping the first color, I moved my paper down a bit and stamped the next color.  Continuing through all the colors and on the last color, Flirty Fuschia, I decided to use second generation stamping to get the light purple color.  The sentiment was stamped over using Midnight ink.  I popped the inked panel up on a card base using dimensional adhesive and added some sparkly clear sequins to finish it off.

***PRIZES***


Catherine is going to draw 2 winners for a $25 Gift Certificate to her store.  Leave a comment on ALL THE HOPPERS blog posts for your chance to win. Winners will be announced on Catherine's blog on Thursday at 6pm EST.

Merry Monday - Angels

Hi everyone!
Long time no "see" & Happy New Year!
 I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with your family and friends.  I took some time off to enjoy my family.  My oldest son Noah is going to be leaving next month for Navy boot camp.  :(   Though I am sad at the thought of him leaving, I am so proud of him.


I found out that even though I made Christmas cards throughout the year last year, that I was still short.  I mail LOTS of Christmas cards.  So, I am getting a good head start on my 2017 Christmas cards by playing along with Merry Monday.


I pulled out Winter Wreath by Avery Elle, Ornamental Christmas & All the Christmas You'll Ever Need by Lil' Inker Designs.   I kept this card pretty clean & simple.  The angel is die cut using the matching dies and popped up using foam tape.  I did create 5 cards using this same design, but stepping up the next two cards a little bit.


Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

Stamps:  Ornamental Christmas & All the Christmas You'll Ever Need (Lil' Inker)
