Sandy Beaches


Hello and happy Friday folks. The Stampendous team are spending some time at the beach with House-Mouse Designs® and friends. 

I have two catalog cards to share with you today, and both lead me to realize I didn't know a lot about the beach. I don't know my beach birds and second I don't know my seashells!


Before I share my supplies and instructions for each card here is the complete hop list.

Stop by the Stampendous blog to see more great projects as well as the designers participating in the weekly theme.

Let's Celebrate Plain Jane Style!

There is an Anni-Verve-Sary party going on today! Verve Stamp Company is 2 years old! The hop started at Verve's blog , so come hop on board and see over 5 dozen projects that are sure to get your Verve on! I've been waiting for the right time to blog about this project and when the opportunity came to join in the anniversary blog hop for Verve I knew it was time. My blog hop project today uses all Plain Jane Bible verses from Verve. I saw this project at Susan Roberts gallery on Splitcoaststampers and went to her blog to get the details .

And I'll give the details below, but first here's a slide show of the whole year. Hebr...

Color Fragments are sprinkled over Deep Impressions Embossing Powder along with Shabby Blue Embossing Enamel and heat set from the back of the project. (That's just so the fragments don't soar off the page and to the floor.) Now for the Sc...
