we invite you to visit the blogs of our wonderful design team

as they show off our latest goodies.

And, if you make it all the way through, be sure

to come back here to the home blog and leave a

comment.  You may just be the lucky winner of 

this prize package containing 6 of our new designs!

So.....get hopping!

I thought I'd start things off with this watermelon card!

I stamped the bottom of my white cardstock using our new Watermelon Border stamp and colored it with markers.  I fussy cut just the bottom and layered the rectangle part on black cardstock, then stamped the bottom line of our Cool Summertime Greeting using red ink.  My pink layer was sponged on white paper using soft pink ink.  I layered all on green paper.

Next, you're off to Shelia's blog.  Enjoy the Hop!

Holiday Blog Slide!

Welcome!

Are you ready to slide??? That's right, to celebrate the Holidays and our New Release stamps we're going to slide you along from blog to blog and then offer you a chance (or several chances!!!) to win prizes!!

Now I'm sure you're anxious to see what you could win, so I won't keep you in suspense~


Each winner will receive the two cling mounted rubber stamps shown below!

And here's the card I made using these stamps!

I'm usually pretty much into traditional Christmas colors, but for some reason I'm starting to really like the pastel colors this year! I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks (or is this a Christmas miracle?? ;)

This card was pretty easy and straightforward to make. I started by punching a piece of copy paper with my oval giga punch and rubbing on some temporary bond glue around all those scallops. After making sure I had a good seal, I used a bunched up piece of paper towel and my turquoise ink pad, and after blotting on scrap paper I sponged on some ink. I did all a little lavender too just to give it a little oomph!

I stamped the Candy Canes on a separate piece of cs and after coloring with Bic Markits, I cut it out and attached it using foam tape. I stamped the Happy Holiday in the bottom right corner and added my bling!

~~~

Are you ready to go sliding now?? Here's what you need to do ~

Slide from blog to blog and check out the terrific cards you'll find on each blog. Pay attention while sliding....you'll find a question on one of the blogs that you'll need to answer in order to be entered in the contest.
