Special Release Blog Hop Day 1


Hello Crafty Friends!

Welcome to DAY 1 of the CUTplorations Christmas Release Blog Hop & Linky Party over at STAMPlorations. Today my teamies and I are showcasing Christmas Reindeer, a stamp set designed by Shirley with coordinating dies.


Here is my DT contribution:


I love the doodled feel of these reindeer, stars and snowflakes! I shall use these a lot for making my own cards, but back to the hop now and how this card was made.

A quick mopped up brusho background was the perfect companion for these characters. (brief reminder: sprinkle brusho on your craft mat, spritz with water and mop up initially just dunking without swashing around, exactly like mopping up spilled liquid). All that was left to do, was stamping and die-cutting the reindeer, stamping the stars, heat embossing the sentiment in gold and layering up plus adding the obligatory red nose of course.

It's over to you now ,,, All you have to do is ... leave a comment on my blog, pop over to the STAMPlorations Blog to leave a comment there and to find the links to all the other participating blogs, then pop over to leave some love there too. You might even want to join in with the linky party. Commenting closes 20th September, and the winners will be announced 22nd September. All the info will be here on the STAMPlorations Blog.

Prizes:
  • THREE (3) commenters randomly drawn from all comments left on the STAMP blog and designers' blogs (Days 1 to 3 posts) wins a $10 gift certificate to the shop
  • ONE (1) winner randomly drawn from the flash diecut linky party wins her choice of any 3 holiday-themed word dies
  • ONE (1) winner randomly drawn from the flash diecut linky party wins her choice of stamp set & coordinating dies (Christmas Reindeer or Warm Hands, Warm Hearts)

Flash Die-cut Linky Party:

The flash diecut linky party starts September 14 and ends on September 20.  Anyone can link up to 3 new projects featuring diecuts (any brand).
