STAMPlorations Giving Thanks Blog Hop

Hey everyone!  There is a fun blog hop going on over at STAMPlorations today!  It's our 2nd Annual Giving Thanks Blog Hop!  A lot of us STAMPloration girls have made some thanks/thankful cards.  We also have a whole bunch of amazing Guest Designers joining us this year!  This year there's all kinds of prizes to win and all kinds of ways to get your chance at winning them.
All the prize info is at the end of the post and over at the main blog.


We are also introducing three awesome new stamp sets, matching dies and stencils.
Check them out....







Amazing aren't they?!  I used the Be Thankful set for my card.  Take a look...


First, I stamped my basket of apples in black and then coloured them in with my Spectrum Noir markers. I shaded the ground with my markers too.  I then die cut the word Thankful from olive green cardstock. The faux stitching details didn't show very well on the dark paper so I went over them with a white gel pen. I attached it to my card and then stamped the For You in black Versafine ink.  I think it turned out quite well.  I really love how my apples turned out.  😀

I totally recommend checking out all the other fabulous cards the other designers made. Here's a handy link to get you there.  😊



I do hope you'll you come on over and hop along with us.    Have a lovely day!
