Release Week Continues

It's Release Week over at Stampendous. Have you been following along? Aren't the new images Fantastic?!

Want to see all of the newest images? Please flip through our newest catalog by clicking on the cover below. You can also print or download a pdf of it to your computer.

Today, I'd like to give you a preview of a super cute new kiddo stamp called Kiddo Hop. I just love this kiddo. She's perfect for birthdays and get wells and everyday cards.

I created the card base and mats* using Spellbinders Lacey Circles and Standard Circles dies. The image was stamped on X-Press It Blending Card and colored with Copics. I wanted to add a little sparkle so I added some Stampendous Stardust Embossing Powder to the flower centers and used my heat tool to melt the powder.

There's lots of inspiration today. Please check out the amazing creations from these amazing artists.

Way Down Yonder in the Pumpkin Patch

Please click here for today's SNSDC Challenge post.

This is one of my favorite times of the year. I love the colors and smells and textures of fall so I thought I'd share a card using another new Stampendous image. It's called Picket Pumpkins. It cracks me up how that cat is tormenting that poor pumpkin.

Picket Pumpkins is such a great image that I kept it simple. It's stamped on X-Press It Blending Card and colored with Copics. Before I adhered it to the card base I gave it a little extra sparkle by adding Stampendous Stardust Embossing Powder. I also added some texture to the card by gluing some Sage and Leaf Green Color Fragments to the grass line. Color Fragments are flakes of color that you can glue to any surface. No special adhesive is necessary. I used Scotch Quick-Dry. Why? Because it was sitting there. You can sprinkle Color Fragments into embossing powders while it is still hot for an amazing Encrusted Jewel look. You can also crush the fragments into smaller particles. It's easy, just roll some between your fingers. Color Fragments are available in so many great colors. You can see them all here.

Have you checked out this month's challenge over at Stampendous? It's all about the cool effects you can create with heat embossing. I'll be sharing cards throughtout the month that are made with a bunch of different embossing techniques so please stop back.

Thanks for visiting today. Have a fantastic weekend!

Shakin' or Should I Say Wobblin' with Excitement

Looking for Annette Witherspoon's Blogiversary Blog Hop? Please scroll down or click here.

Wow, it's been a fun week! All week long, Stampendous and Action Wobbles have been playing together to showcase some amazing projects. I feel like I should do a highlight post. There were incredible cards, fantastic layouts and laugh-out-loud videos. If you missed any of it, I highly recommend checking it all out here.

Today, we are wrapping up the wobbling fun with one big blog hop...and yes, there are prizes. You have until Sunday night to comment on all of the blogs below. Two lucky commenters will win six Action Wobbles and a stamp set.

I created a fun Halloween card using three of my all-time favorite guys: Cling Pumpkinstein, Cling Mumpkin and Cling Count Jack. I love how Stampendous has something for everyone's tastes from super cute to vintage (please check out my earlier vintage/distressed project here). I colored these adorable pumpkins with my Copics, wobbled Pumpkinstein and added Stampendous Stardust Embossing Powder for a little extra pizzazz. The sentiment I created using the Stampendous Small Typewriter Alphabet Perfectly Clear™ Stamps. The background panel was created using the new Stampendous Autumn Words stamp. The patterned paper is from the My Mind's Eye Mischievous collection. Oh, and I'm often asked what ink I use...it's Tsukineko all the way!

Let the Wobblin' Begin:
