Brrr...

It's a Winter Blizzard out there!  At least it's a Stampendous Cling Winter Blizzard Rubber Stamp!  Right now I think it would be appreciated by those in the hot zones.  Thankfully it's not too bad here in North Carolina right now.  Give it 24 hours and it will all change!  Of course a little Christmas in July is bound to help you feel a little cooler, even if it's just the imagination working overtime.  Here's  my card:

Here's what I used to create this card:

Stampendous® Cling Winter Blizzard Rubber Stamp
Stampendous® Merry Words Perfectly Clear™ Stamp Set
Stampendous® Twinkle Glitter
Stampendous® Mixed Media White Paper
Starmist Cardstock by Bazzill Basics Paper®
Memento™ Summer Sky Ink Pad by Tsukineko®
Memento™ Nautical Blue Ink Pad by Tsukineko®
Rhinestones by Queen & Co.®
Zip Dry™ Paper Glue by Beacon Adhesives

The best thing about this stamp, the large snowflake pops out.  This gives you a lot of flexibility in how you use the stamp to create your projects.

Isn't that just the coolest!?  It's like having three stamps in one!  The full stamp, the stamp without the snowflake and just the snowflake.  Options!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I'll see you again next week with more Stampendous goodness!  Until then, have a wonderful week!

Hugs,

Seeing Dots

One of the great perks of being part of the Stampendous® Design Team is all the wonderful companies Stampendous® partners with in the craft industry.  One of my new favorites is BoBunny®.  Their papers are perfection!  Beautiful designs in a delicious array of colors makes it so easy to create pretty cards.  The weight of the paper is just right, too.  I like a cardstock with some substance, not so flimsy that I have to worry about it tearing while I'm creating.  Have you ever tried to distress the edges of paper and it's so thin it just rips and tears?  You won't have to worry about that happening with BoBunny®!

One of my favorite collections by BoBunny® paper is the Double Dots.  In particular, I love the Vintage Dots papers.  They have a built-in distressed style that I'm in love with!  Little hints of gold in the dots and flecks of rust add to the aged look.  And, the texture!  Oh, the texture!  It's a feast for the eyes!  One side is dots and the other side is a beautiful flourish design, both are yummy with little visual scratches and splatters!  

So, on to my card!  This is a fun Stampendous® House-Mouse® Designs stamp named Leaf Sledding.  These little critters are dear to my heart and it seems like they're always doing something that makes me smile!
