The Long Way Home (June SOTM Blog Hop)

Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop. June = summer = road trip! The Long Way Home stamp set has a bicycle, great "road signs" and a couple of awesome vintage vehicles.

With the bold stripe and adorable pineapple papers from the Calypso kit, this vintage VW stamp from The Long Way Home reminds me of the 1960's. A strip of Shimmer Trip on the 'road' adds to the psychedelic feel.

Place a $50 minimum order this month (June 2016) and you are eligible to purchase The Long Way Home stamp set for only $5. It is also available for $17.95 without a qualifying purchase.

Calypso ~ Stampers With An Attitude (Blog Hop)

This month, our Stampers With An Attitude team is sharing projects created using the Calypso paper kit or with a beach theme.

If you have come here from CatScrapbooking, 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.

Who can resist creating with the adorable flamingos in the Tickled Pink stamp set. With the matching Tickled Pink Thin Cuts and your die cut machine, it is so easy to quickly cut the flamingo and wing, then you use the stamp set to add the body, legs, and beak. Paired with fun papers from the Calypso kit, a Black cardstock base, and some sequings, this card was created based on the Center Charms design from the Originals Card Confidence Program.

Now "Hop" on over to Inspired By D for more artwork using Calypso papers, or beach projects.

Celebrate With Cake (May SOTM Blog Hop)

Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop. Now you can "have your cake," but you can't "eat it too" because it is just paper! With three different cake stands, several layers of cake, along with banners and sentiments, this is the easy way to bake a cake.

If you have come here from Papercrafting Princess, 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!

For my card, the largest cake stand is used along with three tiers from the Celebrate With Cake stamp set. To add color to my cake, watercolors were used with the new Small Round Waterbrush that is available in the Seasonal Expressions catalog. A fun confetti paper and a brushed pink paper, both from the new Calypso kit, were used to complete the simple card.

Place a $50 minimum order this month (May 2016) and you are eligible to purchase the Celebrate With Cake stamp set for only $5. It is also available for $17.95 without a qualifying purchase.
