Hi there! I’m super excited to introduce to you the amazing STAMPtember® Limited Edition Special Card Kit called Hooray! Oh my goodness, this kit is amazing!!! So much fun, color, stickers, rainbows and more! I’ve created a couple of projects to share with you.
My first card features the Dream Come True stamp set included in the kit and sold separately. I stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo ink and colored them with Copics.
For the background I masked off some rays using post-it tape and blended distress inks onto distress cardstock.
For my next card I used one of the Carousel Puffy Words stickers for the sentiment on a panel of Royal Purple & Khaki cardstock.
I added few Glitter Girl Stickers by Shimelle that are included in the kit and sold separately.
I embossed a coordinating sentiment from the Dream Come True set and finished it off with a few Nuvo Drops & Sparkling Clear Sequins.

Altenew September 2017 Release Blog Hop Day 2 + Giveaway
September 28, 2017
Hi there! Today I’m joining Altenew for Day 2 of their September Release blog hop. If you are following the hop then you should have arrived here from Kristina Werner’s blog.
My first project showcases the fun 3D Circle Ornament die set. I thought that these ornaments not only make great ornaments but could also be colorful little gift toppers. I wrapped a gift with kraft wrapping paper that I stamped with the Majestic Mistletoe stamp set and clipped the ornaments onto the baker’s twine.
My next card features the Building Blocks die set.
To begin I blended distress cardstock with Altenew inks and then die cut the panel with several of the Building Blocks dies. I adhered them onto the card base with foam tape. I added a glittered sentiment from the Script Words 2 dies as well as an embossed sentiment from Happy Holidays. I embossed the branch from Peace on Earth onto vellum and added Nuvo Jewel drops for the berries.
My final card features the Winter Rose stamp set.
Such a gorgeous multi-step stamp set. I stamped the blooms using several Altenew inks. To finish it off I added some clear round drops.

Mama Elephant-A Cookie Christmas
September 27, 2017Hello! I’m back with Mama Elephant highlighting the adorable new set A Cookie Christmas.
To begin I die cut this fun favor box out of some pattern paper using the Gable Box die. I stamped the images from A Cookie Christmas, colored them with Copics & used the coordinating dies for each one.
I love how the die partially cuts the door to make it swing open. I added a tag using one of the Mini Tag dies & embossed a sentiment on it from Mini Messages.Check out the Mama Elephant blog to see more of A Cookie Christmas. Thanks so much for stopping by!

STAMPtember®-Art Impressions
September 24, 2017
Hi there! Today I’m excited to share yet another fantastic STAMPtember® exclusive by Art Impressions called To Perfection. Don’t you love Art Impressions? I do. They, without fail, always make me laugh.
I simply stamped the image with Memento Ink using my Mini Misti onto Neenah Solar White cardstock and colored it in with Copics. Their expressions just make me laugh and I think of so many of my friends, although I would most likely be forking my face full of french fries over cheese:)
I embossed the sentiment in white onto a strip of black cardstock and popped it up in the center.

Mama Elephant-Little Santa Agenda
September 22, 2017Hi there! I’m back with Mama Elephant highlighting the adorable Little Santa Agenda set. I created a festive “Santa-themed” gift ensemble.
I stamped several of the images from the Little Santa Agenda set all over white & kraft cardstock to create pretty gift boxes using the Scallop Square Box die. I colored the images with copics and on the kraft cardstock I used Prismacolors.
I made some fancy schmancy paper tassels from Rebecca’s amazing tutorial here. For the kraft box I added a bow from the All Prettied Up die set. I also made a coordinating shape card using the Favor Bag Accessory-Santa Elf dies. I love this sweet Santa face!

Mama Elephant-A Beary Christmas
September 20, 2017Hello! I’m back with Mama Elephant highlighting the adorable A Beary Christmas set.
This set is so sweet! I stamped the images with Memento tuxedo ink and colored them with Copics. Then I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.
I created a shaker by partially die cutting a large circle die and adding acetate behind and filling it with sparkling clear sequins. For the background I blended distress inks onto distress cardstock and stamped a sentiment from City Sidewalks.

STAMPtember®-CZ Designs
September 18, 2017
Hi there! I’m back with a couple of fantastic new STAMPtember® exclusives designed by Cathy Zielske. I love, love, love Cathy’s style & especially her humor and her new sets certainly do not disappoint!
This first project features the Hollaween set. To create the background I used the ghost die from the coordinating Hollaween die set and die cut an entire panel of Fog cardstock repeatedly. Then I played the die cut Fog panel over top of a white card base and stamped the ghost images inside each die cut opening using Simon Says Stamp inks.
I stamped the “holla” and embossed the other coordinating sentiments and popped everything up with foam tape. To finish it off I added a few Nuvo Jewel drops in coordinating colors.
Next up is the Coolest Yulest set & the Hos dies. I used the smaller of the Hos dies with the White Glittered cardstock. I stacked up several die cuts for dimension.
I adhered several strips of red & green cardstock together to created a colorful, striped panel to contrast the glittered die cuts and then added an embossed coordinating sentiment from Coolest Yulest. To finish off I added a few Studio Katia Sparkling Crystals.

Mama Elephant-Me and My Yeti
September 18, 2017Hi there! I’m back with Mama Elephant highlighting the adorable Me and My Yeti stamp set along with the coordinating dies.
This set is so fun and certainly one of the most popular sets from their newest release! For the background I masked off a hill & blended distress inks onto distress cardstock with flicks of water. I stamped all the images with Memento Tuxedo ink and colored them with Copics.
I also added a few images along with the sentiment from the Sentiments from a Yeti set. I love how the coordinating die partially cuts out the yeti’s arms so that you can tuck all sorts of fun things in there. Lots of options for many occasions!
Check out the Mama Elephant blog to see more inspiration by the design team using this fun new set. Thanks so much for stopping by!
