To be eligible for the giveaway, please visit each blog in the list, grabbing the “letter” code as you go.

The designers have worked hard to produce all of these fantastic creations, and we would like to invite you to leave some comments on their individual blogs as well.
So what are you waiting for…let the hopping begin! You should have arrived here from the very talented Calypso's Blog but if you got lost along the way or if you are just stopping by you can start the hop by going to World Win Papers to get the line up of designers. So with out further ado.......here is my project and secret letter.....

"I" Love Christmas and Christmas decorations....for my project I used a 7Gypsies Shadow Box along with World Win papers and Inspired by Stamping Build a Snowman Stamp Set....I started by placing a piece of pattern paper along with a piece of mesh paper that I had dried brush white paint on.

I ran four 1" strips of World Win Papers Kromekote Silver Foil through my embossing machine using a holly embossing folder, glued them to the top of the mesh paper.

"I" stamped my two sets of the snowman pieces on World Win Papers Smooth White paper with Black Memento Ink and colored the pieces in with my Copic Markers. Fussy each set out and layered them together with pop dots. "I" placed my snowman on the corner of the World Win Papers Kromekote Silver Foil, added some bling to the corner to help it look like it was snowing. 

"I" added a few snowflakes from the pattern paper and punched some from World Win Papers Kromekote Silver Foil, ran them through the same holly embossing folder and placed the snowflakes randomly to the top left corner of my project; once everything was in place I place red stickles on the holy berries. I hope you have enjoyed my project and are inspired to make yourself a fun Christmas decoration but make sure to continue on our blog hop by going to Rose's Blog and see what she has to share with you today. 

Remember go through all the blogs, keep a list of the secret letter and let Inspired by Stamping know what the phrase is to be able to have your name put in for the GIVEAWAY PRIZE: $50 Gift certificate from IBS and $50 WorldWin Paper Pack

"I" would love to have you follow my blog and leave a comment also. Hugs Pammejo

Halloween Banner with Couture Creations

I love Halloween, love all the fun decorations and every year I just add a few more to my collection....so today I would love to share with you this easy and fun banner made with Couture Creations Rectangle and Scallop Rectangle Nesting Dies along with the Exotic Embossing Folder.

 I started by cutting 3 fun pattern papers using the Scallop Rectangles Nesting Die.

 I used the Rectangle Nesting Die to cut the journal blocks from the pattern paper that I had selected.

 I also cut chipboard and distress paper that was slightly larger than the Scallop Rectangle Nesting Die, once I had all my pieces cut,

Place the distress paper on the chipboard using Couture Creations Double Sided Tape, do all 3 sets of chipboard and distress paper.

I ran the 3 chipboard/distress paper covered pieces through my die cut machine using the Exotic Embossing Folder.

Distress each of these with your Couture Creation Sanding Block

I layered the die cut pieces that I  had previously cut out layering them together with Couture Creations Foam Mounting Tape.

 Here is a closer look at each of the individual pieces as layered them together.

 and the last one.

String them together with twine, tie some pretty ribbon around the twine. I hope you try your hand at using your Couture Creations Nesting Dies and make something fun this Holiday season. Hugs Pammejo

SinCity Stamps Blog Hop

I am so glad you have stopped by today to hop along with the design team from SinCity Stamps....we are all doing Fall/Halloween projects to help inspire you....so if you have just stopped by I hope you join us today in the blog hop, all you have to do is go to SinCity Stamps Blog to start, make sure to leave a comment on each designers blog and we hope you feel like following each of our blogs....So without further ado here is my project....

I made a tag for my project using SinCity Stamps Halloween 2 to create my tag with along with Robin's Nest Black and White Papers. I stamped the vulture and candelabra on to white card stock with black memento ink and colored the images in with Copic Markers, fussy cut them out and set them to one side. I cut a piece of Robin's Nest Holly Paper to measure 3 x 6, Kraft paper to 3 1/4" x 6 1/4" and black card stock to 3 1/2" x 6 1/2" and layered them together. I fussy cut out the clock faces from another piece of Robin's Nest Clock Paper and placed two to the top of my tag that I had made. I used Glossy Accent on the every other number on the clock to give it a raised looked, make sure that you allow it to dry before placing your candelabra and vulture to the front of the tag.

Once the Glossy Accent was dry I added the fussy cut pieces, orange gemstones and ribbons to the tag. I also added a Tim Holtz Clock Face and Hands to one of the clocks and allowed it to hang over the edge of the tag. I hope you try making a few tags for Fall/Halloween and have them ready to add to you scrapbook pages or project life albums.

Blessings Card with SinCity Fall Collections Stamps

Today I am sharing on the SinCity Stamp Blog today sharing my SinCity Fall Collection Stamp Sets today with you....along with Robin's Nest Black and White Papers.

 

I began my project by first stamping my leaf stamp randomly on my white card stock with Black Memories Ink from Stewart Superior.  Once I had my paper stamped I misted the piece with Lemon Zest, Fresh Lime and Postbox Red Dylusion Sprays.

While the mist is trying I stamped my leaf using Black Memories ink and colored them in with Copic Markers, fussing cutting them out and setting to one side.

 I sprayed a piece of Black and White Papers with Lemon Zest and Crushed Grape Dylusion Sprays.

Again, while these are sprayed pieces are drying I stamped dragon flies and my Blessing Sentiment on Kraft Card Stock, coloring the dragonflies in with Copic Markers and fussy cutting them out. I placed them together with pop dots.

I place the sprayed the pieces on to the top of a Kraft Card Stock Base, added twine by attaching to the card front with my Tiny Attacher, added the stamped Blessing Sentiment to the bottom of the card prior to adding the fussy cut leaves and dragonfly to the top.

 Placing the fussy cut pieces to the top of the card and adding a twine bow to the front along with a few black gemstones to finish the front of the card...

On the inside I stamped the "May your day be filled with Happiness" and a couple of dragonflies to the inside...coloring the dragonflies with my Copic Markers. I love to do the inside of the my cards so the sentiment is perfect for your cards. 

I hope you take some time to look at SinCity Stamps Store for more fabulous stamp sets, check out Robin's Nest to see their fabulous products and Stewart Superior for inks. I more importantly I hope you have a Blessed Day....Hugs Pammejo
