Here is what you need to do- visit the Trendsetter’s blogs that are participating in each of the blog hop challenges below and comment on their creations as you go. One of the Trendsetter’s blogs (from each hop day) will be randomly chosen as the ‘it’ blog and a winner will be picked using a random number generator from the comments left on that Trendsetter’s Blog Hop Challenge post.

You will not know which blog has been chosen so the more you comment on the better your chances are of winning new stamps! The Blog Hop Challenges will be open until 5 PM Eastern Time Saturday November 26th with the winner being announced during the release party chat.



For my first card, I used the Holiday Ribbons set. I cut out my ribbons using the World's Best Die, and then stamped my images on them. I colored those with my Copics, and strung them together using some Blossom and Maraschino twine. I then used my Icicle Die-namics from MFT to create my Sno Cone border, which was layered with some Be Merry MME paper. My sentiment is from the Penguin Pals set. I used brads from Michael's, and ribbon from both MFT and SU. For my sentiment panel, I used the First Place Award Die-namics, a PTI button, and a Heidi Swapp snowflake.



For my next card, I stamped the Wishing You sentiment with Rich Cocoa ink on Sweet Tooth cardstock. I then layered it, using my Nesties, with Hot Fudge. I paired it with some Signature Christmas paper. My scallops were made using the Simply Scalloped Large Die-namics. I used Michael's brads, and some Walnut Seam Binding and Jute Twine from the Ribbon Carousel. My snowflake was made with the MFT Snowflake Die-namics, and I used a creative express spiral clip.



For the inside, I stamped the rest of the sentiment.

Well, that is it for me for now!! Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!! Be sure to check out the other girls, and leave comments! You never know whhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifo it will be!!

Let's get to it!!



Since all my cards use predominantly the same supplies, I will just tell you what I used! For my images, I used the No Peeking set. They were stamped on X-Press It Blending card, and then colored with my Copics.



Next, I punched out the images with my SU 1 1/4in circle punch. For it's layers, I used the 1 3/8" and Scalloped circle punches. They were punched out of Red Hot and Pink Pirouette.



For my paper, I used the SUPER CUTE Be Merry paper from My Mind's Eye. It was layered with Sweet Tooth and Pink Pirouette. I then paper pierced it, and tied either MFT Red Collection Plaid ribbon, or MFT Pink Collection Satin Edged Ribbon.



My sentiments were cut out using the Dog Tag Die-namics from My Favorite Things, and then added to my ribbons with either Blossom or Maraschino Twine.



To finish my cards off, I added some Silver Glitter Dots, that I purchased from Gina K. years ago!!



All of that was added to a Fossil Base, and VIOLA...they were finished!!

Well, that is it for me for now! Thanks for stopping by, and be sure to go by the There She Goes blog for more inspiration!! Have a stampy day!!

Tis' The Season...

I don't know what it is about this stamp set, but it just MAKES me want to make more vintage-y cards...I'm starting to scare myself!! I needed to be doing a dozen other things tonight, but instead, I found myself making this creation...love/hate when that happens! Love that I did it just because, hate that I did it and didn't get my ACTUAL work done, LOL!!



The set I used tonight is Inspired By Christmas(currently out of stock). I stamped my santa with Memento Rich Cocoa on a piece of MME Holly Jolly paper. I then cut it out, distressed the edges, and layered it with Fossil, Cranberry Crisp, and Hot Fudge. I used the Fancy Flourish Die-namics, for my flourishes, and for my sentiment, I used the Oval Tab Die-namics. My ribbons-Loop Edged Brown Grosgrain, and Champagne Seam Binding, are both from the Ribbon Carousel, and my brads are from Michael's.




For the inside, I lightly stamped my santa, and then my sentiment over him with Cocoa ink. I then added a Vintage Flourish Die-namics, and a silver brad below that.

Here are the Die-namics I used







Well, that is it for me for now! Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!!
