Stampendous and Glue Dots Blog Hop


It's the BIG hop day to finish off our week of inspiration with Stampendous and Glue Dots®. I'm thankful to them for providing me with three different dispensers of Glue Dots for use in the hop. I even ventured to my local craft supply store to get my hands on a couple more styles for my project today!


 There are prizes up for grabs! Three commenters win the prize package shown above in the picture. Three awesome Glue Dots® dispensers, Stampendous Create Christmas Stamps Set and matching dies PLUS the Christmas Micro Glitter Set (OH why didn't I think to use that kit for my project today!) Details and deadlines for the prizes can be found on the Stampendous blog today.

    Love the way you made the flower.
    Beautiful card.
    I never think about rubbing glitter on the glue dots for embellishments.
    After seeing that technique several times today - maybe it will stick.
    thanks for sharing.
