Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Welcome to this edition of the Pineapple Paper Artists Stamp of the Month Blog Hop. If you have come from Amy's Blog http://amyraimy.blogspot.com/ you've already seen this Cutie Pie S1412 in action. Once you've perused my entries you can click on the link at the bottom to go on to Martha's Blog.

 

Here I used the brand new Hopscotch paper X7194B on a layout from the Magic Book. I colored the cupcakes with the Shin Han markers Z2469 and then cut them out. They are popped up with 3D Foam tape. My cupcakes are each topped with a Flamingo Dot or Aqua Dot.

 

On this page I stamped the banner a few times in Glacier, Flaxen and Smoothie. I then cut them out and "strung" them on the new Flaxen Extra Thick Twine, available in the new Seasonal Expressions catalog. I cut out circles and used the Sunset Washi tape on them to add a little dimension.

Please hop on to Martha's blog to see what she's created. http://marthaporschet.blogspot.com/

Christmas Card Blog Hop

Welcome the the Pineapple Paper Artists Blog Hop of Christmas cards. If you just came from Gretchen's blog http://www.gstumme.blogspot.com I'm sure you are already enjoying some Christmas-themed creativity. I used Snowhaven paper as the base for my cards. I have two scrapbooking clubs and both wanted to use this paper so I had some scraps leftover that I just couldn't throw away. Viola! Christmas cards were born.

I cut the flowers and snowflakes for the cards using Art Philosophy. All the cards also feature our new White shimmer trim, available in the Seasonal Expressions catalog. So pretty! The Merry Christmas sentiment comes from Sing Glory C1587, a hostess stamp set. The "peace" sentiment is from an old stamp set but could be recreated using a current alphabet set or different word. The third card uses the scallop punch on some Glacier card stock. You know I can't resist bling so I added a few sparkles to each card.
I hope you will continue on in the blog hop by clicking the link to Harriet's Blog here: http://harrietsbutterflykisses.blogspot.com/

Last Thank you card

This is my last Thank You card for the month. I have started focusing more on Christmas projects. Plus, there will be some Blog Hops coming up that you can enjoy checking out. Stay tuned.

Arrows of thanks

Many Thanks

This is a Hostess stamp set in the new Seasonal Inspirations catalog. And some really old paper. ;)

A couple of Thank yous

Thanks in Purple

This one was simple but quite effective, I think. The diagonal stripes come from the Basics Assortment paper and the dots were achieved with the embossing folder. I added a small piece of solid Gypsy paper, ribbon and glimmer trim to a piece of White Daisy. I inked the edges and then adhered it to my card. The elephant is a Cuddly Salutation from the hostess collection.
