PenPattern Pals

 When I made the cards that I'm sharing with you today, I envisioned these being a part of a set.  Same layout, same type of card stock, just different colors.  These were so much fun to create.

Stampendous PenPattern Moose,                    Stampendous PenPattern         Spoonful of Snow                                           Snowman, Spoonful of Snow

Both of these images were colored with Spectrum Noir markers.  For complete supply lists and directions visit the Stampendous website. Moose card and Snowman card.

Christmas in July

It's Sneak Peek Week!  I can finally share some of the new Stampendous catalog with you!  The card that I'm sharing today appears on the cover of the new catalog - I'm a cover girl!!!  So exciting for me!

This card uses the super gorgeous Cling Delicate Snow set and the sentiment is from the Holiday Words stamp set.  Both images were stamped with VersaMark ink and heat embossed with Detail White Embossing Powder.  I love the white embossing against the blue card stock!  More information and directions to make this card can be found here.

Stop by the Stampendous blog to find more creative inspiration from the new catalog.  Also, don't forget to check out What's New on the website.

Hoppin' to It

Hope you've enjoyed the terrific collaboration between Stampendous products and Core'dinations' gorgeous papers! We have been thrilled to bring it to you! Today is the final day!! Of course there are prizes! We'll give away three packs of goodness! The Prize Package includes the Lovely Garden Stamp Set; the Matching Lovely Garden Cutting Dies from Stampendous; a Sand It Kit from Core'dinations which includes a sanding block, replacement sandpaper, and a "must-have" Dust Buddy clean up cloth; Core'dinations will also be sending the lucky winners some of their fantastic 6" X 6" paper pads. PLUS an extra special bonus - our friends at Dreamweaver Stencil will be adding the gorgeous Stone Wall stencil that Jamie Martin used in her terrific card this week (you can see a peek of it on this blog hop banner!)

Speaking of Stampendous and Core'dinations and Dreamweaver, I have a card to share with you today that uses products from all three fabulous companies. 

 

I shared a card a few weeks ago, that used this same stencil & stamp and decided to use that card as my inspiration.  You can find that card here. This time, I ran my Core'dinations Pastel card stock through my Cuttlebug with Dreamweaver Book Cover Stencil and then sanded the embossed area with my Sand-It Gadget.  I love the design that is left behind!  The square in the embossed image is the perfect size for the butterfly in the Stampendous Cling Lovely Garden stamp set.  Cutting out the butterfly is a breeze with the coordinating Lovely Garden Die Cut Set.  The gorgeous silk May Arts ribbon to

tie it all together!

It's not often that I make the same card more than once, but I think I may make a few of these in different color combinations to keep in my stash. When I do make cards to have on hand, I leave the inside blank so I can stamp an appropriate sentiment when it's time to pop the card in the mail. This card would be great for many occasions.
