Paperbabe Stamps 3rd Anniversary Blog Hop!

Hey!

Hooray for Friday! We could just celebrate the fact that it's Friday, but I'm here to join in the party as Paperbabe Stamps celebrate their 3rd anniversary AND a new release of fantastic goodies available to purchase from Saturday 30th July!

I'm so honoured that my extremely talented friend and owner of Paperbabe Stamps, Kim Costello, has invited me on board to join in the fun! I'm a HUGE fan of Kim's work and I'm feeling the pressure here to create something worthy of being included in this hop full of talent! Speaking of which, you should have hopped here from another dear friend of mine, Keren Baker! If you haven't then be sure to start out at Chris Dark's blog. :)

Kim kindly sent me some new wonderful whimsical woodland stamp sets from the release and if you know me, then it won't surprise you to know that I was inking up this adorable fox immediately! Each animal compromises of a number of separate stamps to build them including Mr Fox here. The sentiment is from the same set and fits perfectly with Mr Fox's posture. :)

I also added an MDF heart from one of the new substrate kit too. I love (pun not intended, but I'll take it!) the way it complements the literal meaning of the sentiment. I covered it with gold Stickles glitter glue, but you can customise these babies with a variety of different mediums from your stash, or simply leave them naked! ;)

A blog hop, wouldn't be a blog hop without some prizes, right? Paperbabe Stamps are offering two fabulous prizes along this hop:

• The entire July release! 
• £25 gift certificate to spend in the Paperbabe Stamps store

For your chance to win one of these prizes, you need to comment on the blogs along the blog hop by midnight Sunday 31st July (UK time) and two lucky winners will be announced on the Paperbabe Stamps blog on Monday 1st August.

Hey!

Happy, happy Friday! Not just any old Friday, but Friday the 13th – eek! I’m celebrating it here on the blogeroo with a blog hop. In fact it’s a spooky blog hop with Papebabe Stamps with Stampy Friends to celebrate the September release. I’m so happy that Kim Costello (owner of Papebabe Stamps) has asked me to join in with the fun!

You should have hippety hopped over here from Chris Dark, so if you haven’t be sure to start from the owner of Paperbabe Stamps herself, Kim Costello.

For the hop, I focused on the set, “High in the Sky” . It was begging to be inked up straight away, and I created something a little bit different from what the set suggests. The set is so sweet with a sun, sun-rays, birds, clouds, rain (even the drop of rain hitting the ground – adorable!) However the sun-ray stamp got me thinking about pattern building so that’s exactly what I did!

I embossed the rays in gold to emphasise the sentiment. Lots of shine going of here – shame my camera doesn’t pick it up too well! And seeing as I've indulged in the trendy colour of the moment, I'm going to enter this card into Moxie Fab World's All That Glitters is Gold Challenge. :)

Here’s a bit of info about the September release:

“Just to recap the September release, "Cumulus Background", "High in the Sky" clear stamps and "MayLeeDee Witchily", "Dillon Batwings" and "Dillon Magic" are available as digital download for INSTANT gratification! And there's svg files to help cut some of those images out. They are NOW in the Shop!”

Well I won’t keep you any longer as you’re probably already sick of me this week with so many posts! Well that and there’s hopping to be done of course! Be sure to leave comments as you hop to win some Paperbabe goodies (Winners will be announced on the Papebabe Stamps blog on the 20th).

Sick of me yet? I bet you are! The weekend holds no scheduled or planned posts so I think you’ll escape me for a couple of days at least! *wink*

Wishing you all a fabulous, bad-luck-free Friday the 13th! Have a great weekend too! :)

My kinda knitting...

 

Hey!

Happy Friday! :)

I'm popping in today as part of a fabulous blog hop to celebrate the launch of a new stamping company, Paperbabe Stamps! Kim Costello is the talented lady behind the company and she was sweet enough to ask me to be a part of her special blog hop to celebrate. How could I refuse?

I used the set 'Design A Knit' which features lots of knitted background stamps - I think some are knit one, pearl one but I'm no expert! For this card and I couldn't resist using one of the patterned strips on a sweet monkey shape Kim had kindly cut and sent to me along with the stamp set. This is definitely my kind of knitting (aka stamping!)

Three stamp sets are now available in the store to purchase:

• Tree Hugs
• DesignA Knit
• Ribbed Background

And there's also the long awaited "MayLeeDee" available as digital download right now too!

Be sure to stop by the Paperbabe blog if you've just stumbled upon this blog hop and leave comments for chances to win one of the following prizes:

• The Tree Hugs Set
• The Design a Knit Set
• The Ribbed Background set
• The MayLeeDee digi image
• And for one lucky winner: The ENTIRE July release!

So are you ready to get hopping? I hope so!
