Welcome to the Stampendous and Tombow Winter Wonderland Hop! The Tombow blog hop has finally come to stop here on my blog and I will be sharing with you an extremely angelic card today.  If you have been hopping with us you have just hopped here from Leadonna's blog or if this is the first you are hearing about a hop then you'll want to start at the back at the beginning, Friday , Saturday , and today . Tombow was so generous to send the Muted Brush Pen set and it complemented many of my own Tombow pens so I was able to get quite a bit of shading on the Angel Mice stamp. The product details at the end of my post will have marker names and numbers.  I added some bling to the card when I was finished and it was easy to get in some detail with the Mono Glue Pen and glitter. Check out the paper clip halo in Gold Halo Mix. I also used the Mono Glue Pen to create swirls around the holly branch after I glued some Gilded Mica Fragments around the bottom of ...

Good morning! It's a week of quick cards on the Stampendous blog and for all we know a quick card could take under 15 minutes in an ideal world, but when your mind works like mine it completely acceptable if it takes under 60 minutes. My card today was a quick card for me. I like that the Cling Jumbo stamps and coordinating dies can create a very lovely card in just a few inks of a stamp. I think that this card could be under 15 minutes if I passed on the sewing and some of the sponging around the edges. There is one round of sponging that had to be done though, and it was the water stamping technique that I tried on the sentiment panel, it was just too much fun to try out. When I made this card for a product review I mentioned for this post , I also had the quick holiday card theme in mind to double up on this card, but when I was drawn in to playing with the review products there is a wee bit more embellishments than a typical quick card would be adorned. Pardon my ...

This week is Lovely Leaves week for the Stampendous Team. We are sharing our fun projects with the newest PenPattern Leaves, Jumbo Leaves and matching dies. I made this fancy little card for Mix-Ability Challenge I hosted a few weeks ago and surprisingly enough it didn't fit the challenge. LOL So I made up another sample for that and held this one back to post for you this week! Special update: Stampendous webstore is awaiting the restock of PenPattern Leaves (and it's companion products Jumbo Leaves and Leaves Die Cuts) that are expected to arrive this week. There are online stores that have these products in stock and you can find the list in Tuesday's blog post on the Stampendous blog.
