Kaleidoscope ~ Stampers With An Attitude (Blog Hop)

This month, our Stampers With An Attitude team is sharing projects created using fun Springtime colors of the Kaleidoscope kit.     

If you have come here from CatScrapbooking blog, you are on the right path!  Blog Hopping is simple to do - just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move to the next one, or visit each blog from the list at the end of this post.    



It has been a while since I have used a Freshly Made Sketch (FMS #216), and it was perfect for this cute "hippo" from the Safari Ballet stamp set.  The fun colors of the Kaleidoscope papers had a fresh touch to the watercolor used on the image.       



Now "Hop" on over to If You Bling It for more artwork using the White Pines paper kit.

Kaleidoscope Christmas with Foil Tape

For this Featured Products Blog Hop, we are featuring the new shiny Foil Tape from Close To My Heart.  This 1/4" wide tape is available in both Silver and Gold, and there are 15 yards on a roll for only $4.95.  


If you arrived from Inky Hearts Papercrafting, then follow along with the link at the bottom of this post to continue the Featured Products Blog Hop

This sparkly Christmas card uses some papers from the Kaleidoscope kit along with white Glitter Paper and Silver Foil Tape.  The bows are pre-made and available in the Cranberry and Pear Fundamental Assortments.  For the 'Merry Christmas,' Pomegranate ink was used with the Hand-Lettered Christmas image.  Since I really enjoy using a sketch, I used Make It From Your Heart Volume 1 Pattern #30 as the design for the card.      

Please visit Scrappin with Heart blog for another entry using Foil Tape.

Candlelight Garden (December SOTM Blog Hop)

Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop.  The stamp set for the month of December can be used to create sweet thank you and friendship cards, and also add some great details to your scrapbook pages.     

If you have come here from My Creations With Michelle, you are on the right path!  Blog Hopping is simple to do - just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move to the next one!  

The jar image from Candlelight Garden is so versatile and can be used to "hold" just about any stamp image.  For this card, I used the votive candle with a sweet sentiment.  Color was added to the top portion of the card base and the stamped images using watercolor.  The soft watercolor goes very well with the patterned papers in the Kaleidoscope kit.  You may recognize the card design as Pattern #26 in Make It From Your Heart Volume 2.         

Place a $50 minimum order this month (December 2015) and you are eligible to purchase the Candlelight Garden stamp set for only $5. It is also available for $17.95 without a qualifying purchase.  




Now "Hop" on over to Melissa's Heartfelt Sentiments blog to see her work.  Be sure to visit all the Consultants at their blogs to get some great crafting inspiration and other fun ideas.
