Mother of all Blog Hops





Hello, Stampers!

Welcome to the 3rd annual Mother of All Blog Hops sponsored by There She Goes Clears Stamps!   Over the next two days, we (customers and trendsetters!) will be featuring some of our favorite There She Goes Clear Stamp sets!   Not only that, we’re going to give YOU a chance to win some fabulous prizes!
To find out how, please go to the There She Goes’ blog and read the simple instructions.


I really love this Holly Jolly set and I just wanted to show you how versatile a set it is by making 2 totally different style cards.  Although I seem to have gone for a similar layout (not intentionally but I guess that was where my mojo was!) I like that one is softer and shiny and the other has brighter colours, it means I should be able to match it to the right recipient!

This is the first card I made.  I masked off a strip and randomly stamped, then I coloured with my copics, added a little glitter to Rudolph's nose and added the twine and popped the sentiment up.


And for the second card I used the gorgeous die that goes with this set. I don't know whether you can see but I die cut pearlescent card which I then stamped the snowflake frame and sentiment on, I love the way it shines!  I started by stamping snowflakes from the set onto the card base and then I put vellum on, I've hidden the adhesive by putting paper twine over where the tape is and bling over where I put a drop of glue.
