STAMPlorations Giving Thanks Blog Hop

Hi Everyone,

its a BIG day today at STAMPlorations! This is our 3rd annual Giving Thanks Blog Hop
It is bigger than ever!


We are showcasing the new typographia stamps. 35 designers, including 8 GDT's! You are going to have a lot of fun here!

I made two cards - this is card #1:


My materials:
preview-Typografia-GratitudeistheBlossompreview-trendyspringbloomsdiespreview-CrazyDoubleRunningStitches-Rectangle



I heat embossed on wood paper and ran it through my Big Shot with the nesting die. Diecut the flowers form water color paper I had previously spritzed with Dylusion inks. Assembled it all on black card stock.

Now card #2":



My materials:
preview-Typografia-SomethingtobeThankfulForpreview-CrazyDoubleRunningStitches-Rectanglethebirdsandtheblooms-web-preview



Sponged the background with distress inks. Waited for them to dry completely and heat embossed in white. Stamped the flowers. Ran it through my Big Shot with the nesting die. Added Stickles.

And here comes the BEST:



Because we're doing the Giving Thanks hop this week, all our stamps, stencils, and dies are 40% off with the BIGTHANKS coupon, starting tomorrow November 15th. (Coupon could be used only once per customer/shipping address; coupon does not apply to products in the New Release and Retiring categories; coloring books; and gift certificates). But you can use my 20% off DT code STAMPGIRLCORNELIA an unlimited number of times to purchase stamps in the New Release category (and you get a freebie only if your order is at least $40).

And now another great twist: 

If you decide to order, you can leave a note in your order, or email Shery (stamplorations@gmail.com) and mention my name. You can choose a free word/phrase die (up to $10 value) and have it included in your order (no minimum order). So lets say you include a note or email to say, "Hey, Shery, I just placed an order with the 40% off coupon after reading about it on Cornelia's blog. I'd like the Fabulous word die as my freebie, please!", you get free stuff and I'll get credit for that sale  - win - win!!!

These look fabulous. I love the die cut flowers gracing the corners of the woodgrain plank.
All are gorgeous. I really love the wood background for the first one you displayed. That makes those images just pop.

Fab cards, love the woody one most I think. :)

Both cards are great. I suck at blending and would never attempt the second one - at least not right now... The wood theme card is gorgeous! I love the pop of color from the flowers that flank the wood. I like how you colored and sparkled the center of the flowers on the blended card and that they frame and contrast with the sentiment. Nocely done!

These are really beautiful! I love the wood background and bright flower die cuts. The distress inks are so lovely together and the outline flowers are a perfect touch.

Katzelkraft - Stampotique Raven

Hi Everyone, Do you know that   Katzelkraft has aquired Stampotique stamps? This fun raven is designed by Daniel Torrente (#6314). I used an old background from my stashs.  I stamped the bird and colored it with alcohol ink markers.  I brushed distrss ink onto the background and added some pattern with the   Mandala Magic stencil  from Funky Fossil Designs.I used one of the border stamps on the left for more interest.  Stamped the sentiment  and doodled a frame around the sentiment.Added a googly eye to the bird and drew in some eye lashes.  The stamps I used are from the following sets: Spiral Borders - KTZ286,  Whatchamacallit  - KTZ276  (FRANCE) Spiral Borders  - KTZ286 , Whatchamacallit  - KTZ276 (USA) Hope you liked this - I'll be back next Wednesday with more Katzelkraft inspiration.  Thanks for visiting! Happy Stamping! Linking up with: Simon Says Wednesday challenge  - fur or feathers

Combined So Suzy and The Ton Blog Hop

Hi Everyone, I am sooooo excited to be part of this amazing event - a combined hop between So Suzy Stamps and The Ton! I have been eyeing The Ton stamps and dies for quite a while - they are just gorgeous! And So Suzy - well you have seen their stamps on my blog - they are simply fabulous! I also love that they are made from rubber - its different stamping with them. Its much better for generational stamping and they don't stick to your paper when you use your Misti. You may have arrived from the fabulous  Eunji - its a hard act to follow her.... I got those gorgeous  Peonies Dies  from The Ton and die cut them with water color paper. Spritzed Dylusion inks on a sheet of plastic and dipped the dies into the colors. Mounted them onto black card stock. Added the So Suzy Birthday sentiment - heat embossed in white. Lastly I added a strip of envelope liner paper at the bottom. Here are my supplies: So Suzy Birthday sentiment ,  Peo...
