Stamp of Approval: Holiday Magic Blog Hop and Giveaway!

14 Oct

Good morning!  All week long Catherine Pooler and several designers have been sharing cards created with the Stamp of Approval Holiday Magic Box and today’s the day that you could win one of two Holiday Magic Boxes!  You can find my earlier card here and here’s a sneak peek of the CAS glittery card set I created for The StampNation Challenge!

SN Challenge

And here’s my hop card!

I decided to use the cute tree from the set slightly differently and created a tree branch filled with bright ornaments and garlands!  I inked the tree with green ink and stamped it horizontally onto my card base.  Then I stamped the ornaments and garlands and heat-embossed them with several embossing powders and glitters.  Supplies are listed at the bottom of my post!  Finally I stamped the sentiment and heat-embossed it with gold powder before trimming a 1/2″ from the bottom of the panel and adding a strip of gold glitter.  I love the versatility in this collection…of the three cards I’ve shared so far none of them look at all the same and there are several more I have yet to share.  And all of the designers cards are different…there are literally going to be hundreds of different ways that you can use these products!

So, giveaway time! 😉  You should have arrived here from Kay’s blog and your next stop is Lydia!  The full hop list is below in case you encounter any broken links.  Leave a comment on every stop on the hop to be entered in a chance to win one of two Stamp of Approval Holiday Magic Boxes.  Comments close at noon EST on Friday, October 16th!  The boxes go on sale tomorrow and are expected to sell out so it’s recommended that you go ahead and purchase the box when you receive your email link!  If you have already purchased the box and win one of the giveaways your purchase will be refunded or you can receive the second box to gift to a very lucky friend! 😉

Anyway, if this is your first time visiting my blog, I hope you’ll stop by again!  You’re also welcome to subscribe to my blog via the buttons on the right!  Thanks so much for visiting and enjoy the rest of the hop!
