Hi everyone and welcome to the first Stamp Simply Design Team blog hop!! In celebration of our "maiden voyage" blog hop there will be some AMAZING blog candy for one super lucky commenter. To find out how to enter, be sure to head over to Sharon's blog where the blog hop fun begins!!What is up for grabs you ask? Well, how about the Webster's Pages Postcards from Paris kit?!? Yep, it's AMAZING, retails for $45, and is pictured in the blog hop graphic above!
The theme of today's blog hop is Be True to Yourself! So the DT are making a project that reflects our stamping style. Egads! These kinds of things freaks me out. Style? Do I even have one?So, I went to my "go-to" project - a set of mini thank you cards! I love making these little guys, they are fun AND practical as I am always in need of a thank you card. My cards use Sharon's Stamp Simply Lilac Avenue kit.
On each one, I used a combination of the amazing Lilac Avenue papers, rhinestones, pearls and the silk ribbon!! The sentiment uses JustRite Stamps Brayton font in 25pt. I used the versatile Horizontal Wood Stamper to put the letters in -you can make any sentiment you want when you have a font! The cards are all pretty simple, easy to put together and helps use up scraps -which is a 3x3 card's job don't cha think??
Here are close up pictures of each card. Isn't this paper the CUTEST!?! LOVIN' the Lilac Avenue! AND see how each one uses a different border punch? **happy sigh** I love border punches. I am not so sure about the last card, I think my mojo took a dive on that one! Oh well, you can't love them all right? LOL!
EDITED: You can purchase the Webster's Pages and KaiserCraft Lilac Avenue paper pads separate from the kits! They retail for $5.99 and $8.99 respectively and can be found here.
EDITED: I found time to make the first in what will be another set of 3 mini thank you cards using the Webster's Pages Postcards from Paris kit!! I love this kit soooo much. I kept it simple and used a piece of DP for the main card and punched the flower bloom from other papers. I love the brown crocheted lace -I just attached it to the card using Score-Tape. The sentiment is the same Brayton Font, in 25 pt.
Here is a master list of the Hop, just in case you get lost along the way.
Sharon- No Time To Stamp?
Michelle - Stop and Stamp the Roses (That's ME, you are HERE!)
Sherry- Walking on the BAD Side
Linda- Linda's Works of the Heart
Barb- Explore. Dream. Discover.
You have until Sunday, February 28th 6pm (EST) to enter. Your next stop on the hop is SHERRY, have fun!! Thanks for stopping by!
