Rose Garden

Fall has just arrived so you know what that means, right?!  Stampendous is giving you a little sneak peek into our Spring line with the soon to be released October 2017 catalog.  There are so many awesome stamps to help shake away the coming winter blues.  It's like opening the gate to your very own rose garden!  You're going to love the many florals and other lighthearted stamps that signify the changing of the seasons.  Today, I'm sharing with you one of my favorites, Heart Vines.  I love how the vines form a perfect and beautiful heart that practically screams romance and love.  It was easy to turn this stamped image into a sweet shabby chic card to share with a loved one.

Winter Wonderland in Foam

(I would like to apologize for my absence from the hop on Thursday.  I've had a rather unpleasant stomach bug that prevented me from participating.  I do hope you'll have the opportunity to view yesterday's post.)

Today is the last day of the Stampendous and Scrapbook Adhesives Blog Collaboration, man has it been fun!  The Scrapbook Adhesives 3D Foam Creative Sheets are awesome!  You can cut them with scissors or with die cuts, and, for my card today, I used both.

Here's what I used to create this card:

Scrapbook Adhesives® 3D Foam Creative Sheets

Scrapbook Adhesives® 3D Foam Snowflakes

Scrapbook Adhesives® 3D Foam Squares

Scrapbook Adhesives™ E-Z Runner®

Stampendous® Smiling Snowman Cling Rubber Stamps and Dies

Stampendous® Multi Fine Crystal Glitter

Stampendous® Mixed Media White Paper

Memento™ Tuxedo Black Ink Pad by Tsukineko®

Copic® Markers (B000, R24, R29, C5)

Core'dinations® Powder Blue Cardstock

This card is so simple but it's so sweet!  I'm in love with this smiling little snowman, he really has melted my heart.  Of course the foam sheet was super easy to cut with scissors to create the snowy landscape and the snowman die was a piece of cake to create my raised snowman.  You may have noticed I mentioned using the Foam Snowflakes on this card.  Not only does the packet come with traditional style snowflakes, it also includes these super cute circles in different sizes for a more contemporary snow scene!  I love them both!

Thanks snow much for stopping by today.  I do hope you've enjoyed our blog collaboration.  If you haven't already tried Scrapbook Adhesives many different products, then you really should.  They make crafting fun!  I'll see you again next week with a sneak peek of the newest stamps!  Until then, have a wonderful weekend!

Hugs,

Lea

These snowflakes are so much fun to use.  You can stick all sorts of fun things to the foam, glitters, powders, flocks, beads, all sorts of fun stuff!  They're super sticky, so, no worries about product falling off.   I do hope you'll get some and give them a try.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I'll see you again tomorrow with more wintery wonderfulness.  See you again soon!

Hugs,
