Welcome to Stampendous big hop day with Linnie Blooms products. I had a wonderful time creating with these little canvas file folders and I think there are far too many ideas to stop at just this week with them. There are 5 prize packages up for grabs and you can find the details on my post earlier this week for Linnie Blooms here  or on the Stampendous blog. Comment for a chance to win! I created a pop up canvas card! I primed the file folder with white gesso and once dry stamped a couple of time using the Stack Art Cling Rubber Stamps Regal Bird Kit - SAS02 . The canvas file folder was stamped with distress ink with another stamp from the kit as well as background stamp from the same kit  onto cardboard that was cut with the Pop Up Die Set . I stamped on the cardboard with a two step inking process (step one distress ink, step two sponge gesso on top) and then did a white embossed border on the top and bottom. The flowers are colored with Copics (RV000, RV10, ...

Puppies are popping up around the Stampendous weekly theme and the design team is happy that this week is finally here! If you recall a few weeks ago we shared projects with the Kitties Stamp Set and we heard that you all wanted to see the puppies! Well, now it time! I had too much fun pulling out supplies here and there for this card, but just you know it's possible I might have been carried away in the process! LOL Even if I did, you can see that down to basics of this card there is a dog stamp, a pop up card die and a sentiment. Everything else is a choice to add it in or leave it out! I'm hopping with two other teammies today. Please stop by and say hi, give them some comment love and then hop on over to the other event happening on the Stampendous blog with Linnie Blooms! Stampendous Blog Pam Hornschu Amy Hurley-Purdie Now for the details on today's card. Supplies: Stampendous: CRS5076 Cling Pop Up Puppies Set CRS5077 Cling Pop Up Forest Set ...

Welcome to the Linnie Blooms and Stampendous Fabric Fun Collaboration week!  When Stampendous was at CHA they found this wonderful new company and immediately thought of hundreds of projects to make, so guess what we get to do this week? Yes we do! I'll tell you a little secret, at one point during CHA Laura at Stampendous asked us if there were any companies we thought would be fun for a collaboration week, so I went to the Winter 2015 CHA interactive booth layout and looked through all the companies that were there and wouldn't you know I thought among a handful of companies, Linnie Blooms products would be fun to use! So now you must know how excited I am about this week. Yay! Okay, so you might be interested maybe about some prizes and link lists, then maybe my project for today, so that's the order of my post. Let's get going on it! PRIZES!!!!  Prizes are randomly selected from commenters who provide somewhere in the comment, their online profi...

Hi folks! It's a picnic here today in my crafty puddle. I'm hanging out with a few other designers that are sharing this picnic theme and all the goodies are from Stampendous! Stampendous Blog Amy Hurley-Purdie Louise Healy   Janelle Stollfus - that's this craft puddle Jennie Lin Black Here's my Life is a Picnic card that was featured in the April 2015 Catalog for Stampendous and you can also find this project along with some other great samples on the Picnic Spread product page.  This was a fun stamp to color and it did make me a little bit hungry for fresh fruit. When we create these samples we are months ahead of the season, so when it's cold and snowy we are really ready for a sunny summer picnic like this one. Well here is how a created this card with links to the Stampendous products, and here is the link to see this project on the Stampendous website as well.
