GLITTER QUEEN BLOG HOP - DAY ONE

HEY BLOGGIES,



THANKS so much for hopping with us on our three day "WISHING FOR SPRING" BLOG HOP.  Our leader, DAWN GRIFFITH, is starting our hop each day.  We are all linked into a circle so if you hop in the middle, no problem, just go to the next one from the NEXT button at the bottom and you will get to see us all.

Today I decided to use a set that has been one of my favorites for quite some time.  It is in our big Annual Catalog and is called KINDA ECLECTIC.  Maybe that is what I can use to describe myself - kinda eclectic.  No special style but a whole bunch of a lot of styles.  ha ha

Here is what the stamp set looks like if you don't already have it:


Kinda Eclectic Clear-Mount Stamp Set  item #135350  Price:  $19.95
Here is my first card I made with this set.  Hope you enjoy it:
I love the polka dot background stamp.   I am using it in a lot of my cards, not just the cards where I use the rest of this set.  It is a great versatile stamp.

I took this sideways photo so you could see I punched out a second stamped image of the middle area.  I just wanted to give it that dimension.  Then I die cut in black the word THANKS and added that on top of the punched out middle.  I added stampin' dimensionals behind the other part of the word so it all sticks up.

One more look at my card.  Sorry the flash made the white card stock look yellow.

Thanks for stopping by.

BLOG CANDY ALERT:  I am giving away some blog candy.  All you have to do is each day leave me a comment and at the end of three days I will draw a winner from those who commented each day.  You can add your comments up until midnight Wednesday for all three days for your chance to win.  It is a new punch, some new ribbon and a few other things I am getting together.

Up next is DEE SLATER.



The complete list is as follows:

1.  Dawn Griffith
2.  Jennifer Kay (THAT'S ME)
3.  Dee Slater
4.  Sue Novick
5. Tracy Bradley
6.  Kris Miller

    I love that stamp set, and actually have it on a saved demonstrator order! 😊. You said you die cut the letters. Are the die cut letters from Stampin Up as well? And if so, in the current AC? Thanks! gdcaswell@verizon.net

      Thanks for your kind comments. So glad you stopped by my blog. You can get a SU die set called
      "Hello You Thinlits Dies" to achieve this look. The one I used I have had for a while and is not SU because they didn't have one when I purchased it long ago.

    I like this stamp set and have it on my wish list. I like the way you punched out the center of the starburst to add depth and interest. Thanks for sharing.

      Thank you for your kind comment. You should consider purchasing this set. It is really versatile and goes with so many other sets since there are background stamps included. I love the sunburst the best.
