Star It! Blog Hop

The ever fabulous Nina Yang recently asked if I would like to showcase her latest stamps from Avery Elle.  Um.  Yes.  OF, COURSE!!!!!  I was super excited to play with these stamps and super excited to share them with you, too!  Today we have a blog hop featuring the Simply Tags:  Christmas stamps and coordinating dies AND you can WIN STUFF, too!!!!



I decided to create a fun birthday card.  Yes, they are Christmas stamps.  No, I don't like to do things the conventional way.  HA!  I dry embossed the background and die cut the star from it before adhering it to my card base.  I then stamped and die cut the large bow, adhered that with foam tape, and then adhered the tiny bow die cut from wood veneer.  I die cut the tiny hearts from wood veneer, as well.  Basically...I love this card.  For reals, you guys.  It's just so darned CUTE!



Now let's talk PRIZES!!!  Nina is generously giving away each of her knew products to FOUR different winners!  That means that four people who comment on the hop blogs today will win one of each of the goodies pictured below.

You're Awesome And Such...

Happy Tuesday, folks!  Any day that starts with a pumpkin pie chai and a pumpkin bagel is bound to be a good one, so that's what I'm going with for today!  YAY!  I have a super fun card to share with you today using some awesome stamps designed by my friend, Nina Yang, for Avery Elle!



My card uses both Nina's new Simply Tags: Christmas set and the Texture Tiles:  Be Cute set.  I actually made this one for the fabulous Cath because, well, she is just awesome.  As she is leaving Moxie Fab World, I have thought much about how much she has done for me and my creative world via that blog.  Cath gave me the push to become a better designer.  She made me feel like I could really do this thing.  She made me realize that I could be one of those girls who gets published and featured and designs for awesome companies.  All this came from a couple of little challenge wins over on the Moxie Fab World blog a few years ago.  It came from CATH pointing out that I, too, could be awesome.  And now, I look back at the opportunities I've had and it's pretty darned amazing.  So, Cath, thanks for being awesome.  You changed this girls' world.



I LOVE these stamps!  I have a fun Christmas card I created with them along with some other Avery Elle stamps that I will share soon, AND there will be even MORE fun coming because I have the coordinating dies on the way as we speak!!!  YAY!!!!  I'm so excited!

Anyway, Have a Happy, folks!  You deserve it!
