BLOG TOUR - DAY THREE!

OK, so it's not like the other two posts - but it's still the same stamp set - and you can STILL enter to win on this entry!! :)

Yes, that's right. Today's are ALL about the SNOWMEN! :D If you've been around for a while, or taken a look at my blog, you'll notice that Christmas is my absolutely favorite time of year. I love to design Christmas projects!! :D Today's scrapbook page may look a little plain to you, but I think you'll see that a picture will be absolutely PERFECT on it!

The Card

Card stock: Shimmery White, Bermuda Bay

Ink: Jet Black Stazon, Bermuda Bay

Stamp sets: THE MORE THE MERRIER!, Christmas Punch (Level 2 Hostess-only set!!!)

Accessories: modern label punch, word window punch, assorted Stampin' Write Markers, dimensionals

I just LOVE this card! The Bermuda Bay is such a wonderful SUMMER color - but it works just as well for a cheery winter card, too! (And I LOVE snowmen, and snowflakes - this card just ROCKS. Wish you could see the sparkle IRL!!)

So, what do YOU think?? :)


The 6x6 Scrapbook PageCard stock: Whisper White, Bashful Blue TEXTURED

Ink: Bashful Blue, White craft

Stamp sets: THE MORE THE MERRIER!, Simple Friendship

Accessories: Gel pen, assorted Stampin' Write Markers, embossing buddy, white embossing powder, heat tool

It's REALLY hard to see the swirls from SIMPLE FRIENDSHIP on the background, but they're there, I promise! :) To get the snowmen that kind of translucent white, I colored with a gel pen, then wiped it off with my finger. :D I wanted to outlines to show, but I didn't want all-Bashful Blue snowmen! :D Again, it may look a little plain, but once you put the friendship photo on it, it's going to be JUST enough.

The 3D Project


I LOVE this project - and my mom's commented on it a couple of times, which means it's made an impact! :D It's also possible to lay this flat, so you could store these - say, if you made them for centerpieces for a women's luncheon - or you could mail them as a gift!

Card stock: Bermuda Bay, vellum

Ink: Jet Black Stazon

Stamp set: THE MORE THE MERRIER!

Accessories: Assorted Stampin' Write Markers, 2-Way Glue Pen, Dazzling Diamonds glitter, paper trimmer!

This votive square is 4"x4". It's easy to MAKE, but the coloring and the glittering take a bit of time to dry. :) It is SUPER-sparkly IRL; it's definitely going to catch the light! It's also big enough that you could use a REAL tealight or votive candle in it without much chance of it going up in flames. :D

I hope you've enjoyed this blog tour as much as I have!!!! It's always fun to challenge yourself, like making ONE stamp set your focus! :) I also hope you'll keep coming back; it's a fun ride from now until Christmas, and you won't want to miss anything!

My class schedule for the rest of the year will be up soon, so if you're local, I hope you'll come to some classes! And if you WANT this stamp set, contact me or your local demonstrator to book a party NOW!!! Don't wait; get your party on the books! If I AM your demonstrator, hold your party (at my house, honest!:D) by the middle of October and be invited to my hostess appreciation luncheon!!!!!

Now, scroll back up or down to go to the next blog. :D Have a wonderful time on the tour - and don't forget to bookmark me! :D
