Your Next Stamp’s December New Release Hop!

31 Comments
Hi, everybody! I’m so glad you stopped by today! Since I’m a guest designer this month at Your Next Stamp, I’m joining in the blog hop to celebrate their December release! 

You’ll find the full list of blogs in today’s hop at the bottom of my post, and make sure to visit each blog (and leave a comment) for your chance to WIN a $20 gift certificate to the YNS Store!



I’ve made a couple of cards to share with you today! The new stamps are adorable and are super-fun to color…they are perfect for creating cards, tags and other projects for the holidays!

My first card features “January” and her little penguin pal. I also used some of the Sparkly Teal Gumdrops to embellish my card. 


My second card features “Aspen“. I used some of YNS’s Carribean Punch Glittered Gumdrops to accent a few of the snowflakes on the patterned paper.


You’ll have until December 9 at midnight (EST) to visit all of the blogs in the hop and leave your comments for your chance to win the gift certificate! Winners will be posted on the YNS blog before the DT Dare challenge on December 11!

Can’t wait to place an order for the new release, or want to get some of the YNS sets on your wish list? You’re in luck! Here’s a coupon code for you to use on your order for 30% off your purchase (including sale items). The offer starts today and expires on December 14:


I hope you’ve enjoyed the projects I shared with you today, and I’m glad you stopped by! Be sure to leave a comment for me before you hop over to the next blog to increase your chance of winning the $20 gift certificate to the Your Next Stamp Store!

Lawnscaping’s Facebook Team November Inspiration Hop!

30 Comments
Hi, everybody! Although my term with Lawnscaping‘s Facebook Inspiration Team doesn’t officially start until December 1, I thought it would be fun to join the team for their November blog hop, which is on the last Friday of each month.
Our blog hop is sponsored by Spectrum Noir, and they’re giving away a generous prize pack of two sets of alcohol-based markers in BLUE and COOL GRAY!


Make sure you leave comments on all of the blogs in today’s hop, because ONE lucky person will be chosen from ALL of the comments left on the blogs to win the prize! (So, that means the more you comment, the more chances you have to win!)
Here’s the full list of blogs in today’s hop:
Lawnscaping Blog

Suzanne – you’re HERE!

And, since BLUE and COOL GRAY are inspiring our hop creations, I came up with this card:

I used papers from Lawn Fawn‘s “Let’s Polka” and Peace Joy Love petite paper packs, a sentiment and some snowflakes from “Winter Penguin“, and images from “Winter Bunny” and “Winter Fox“. A few of the snowflakes are from the “Critters in the Arctic” set.
I hope those of you in the US had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday yesterday! We had a very low-key celebration (just me and hubby, since he had to work today), I don’t plan to fight the crazy shopping crowds today, but if you do, I hope you find some great deals!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Don’t forget to leave me a comment before you go for your chance to win the super cool prize from Spectrum Noir!

OH! OH! OH! It’s a HOL-ODD-DAY Hop!

WELCOME to our Hol-ODD-Day Hop!  ‘Tis the season for the Odd Girls to get their craft on, and whip up some fun things just in time for the holidays!   Some Odd Girl is very happy to bring you our annual…

holodddayhop

This year, we are STOKED to bring you some of our gift and decor ideas that we hope will inspire you as we all head into the home stretch!  Today, we HOP!  All you have to do is visit all of the blogs in the hop and leave some love at each stop.

You should have arrived from Anna Sigga’s blog – if so, you’re definitely on the right track! If you need to start at the beginning, CLICK HERE, cause you won’t want to miss a beat!

For my hop project, I altered a metal container by decoupaging some fun holiday papers on the top, and I made a tag with the “HoliDeer” clear set.


Because you can’t have a gift container without adding something SWEET inside, I put together this tag making kit! There are two mini ink pads, blank tags, twine and a stamp set! It would be a great gift for a crafty friend who loves to stamp and color! (Depending on your gift budget, you could also add a few markers or pencils!)
Because birthdays are one of the most common gift-giving occasions, I made some sample tags with the “Birthday Mae” and “Tiny Baker Tia” clear sets. I kept the design simple so there’s room to write on the tag and colored two of the tags so you could get an idea of the finished project.

Needless to say, we have had a TON of fun making our Hol-ODD-Day projects, and we hope you have fun hopping with us!  Ready?  Here’s the hop list!

Suzanne Bier – you’re here!

So hop around, take your time, leave your comments between now and Sunday, December 15th and we’ll have some winners to announce on Monday, the 16th!  There may or may not be a stamp set or two up for grabs.  There may ALSO be (or maybe not!) some of the new Odds & Ends to win!  ANNNND there may even be some extras.  But you’ll have to join us throughout the week to find out!

Now you’re off to Kristy’s blog!  Enjoy the hop, Oddies, and we’ll be showing details of some of the projects throughout the week, so drop by and watch for your bonus chances to win!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope you enjoy the rest of the fun on our HOL-ODD-DAY hop!

Hugs,

A Perfectly ODD Hop!

WELCOME to A Perfectly Odd Hop!  We Odd Girls have partnered up with the lovely ladies from Perfect Paper Crafting to bring you something fun and different! You should have arrived from Perfect Paper Crafting’s blog, and now you’re visiting me (Suzanne Bier)!


PPChop
We had the pleasure of getting together with Perfect Paper Crafting at CHA in Vegas, and a collaborative event was an absolute NO-BRAINER!  Would the Odd Girls like to try out some fun tools?  Heck yes!  Does the Perfect Paper Crafting team want to play with some cute stamps?  Sure thing!  And it’s a match made in heaven…

Today, both teams come together to bring you a fabulously inspiring BLOG HOP that will run through Sunday, November 17th.  There are 16 stops along the way including the main blogs, and PLENTY of inspiration for you to enjoy, so we hope you have as much fun as we’ve all had in this little partnership!

If you’re not already familiar with Perfect Paper Crafting, you are in for a TREAT!  Their tools allow crafters to get perfect placement of their mats and edges, easily shape and layer, and AIRBRUSH for gorgeous effects on their projects!  The Odd Girls enjoyed playing with their Perfect Layers, Perfect Squares, and Perfect Ruler for this little event! 

I’m sharing a tag today that I made with help from the Perfect Ruler and features stamps from the Breakfast Friends and Holly Day Gwen clear sets:

I used the Perfect Ruler to trim the paper I used on my tag, and the tag pattern. It was super fun to play with the ruler, and it’s a great portable tool that I can keep on my desk and not only use it to trim paper, but tear paper, align layers on a project, and of course, draw a straight line for lining up brads or embellishments, or creating faux stitching.
Be sure to comment at EVERY stop and you’ll be eligible to win one of TWO prize packs that include one of these tools and a stamp set of your choice!  Your next stop is Eva Uyeunten’s blog.
We’ll be sharing inspiration throughout the week so you can see how the Odd Girls have used the Perfect Paper Crafting tools, and maybe a little guest project here and there from our partners in this hop!  You have until Sunday at midnight EST to leave your comments, and Some Odd Girl and Perfect Paper Crafting will each draw one winner, to be announced on Monday, November 18th.  Have a Perfectly Odd day, and good luck!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you’re having a wonderful week!
Hugs,
