Clearsnap Made In The USA Blog Hop


Clearsnap is Made in the USA so what better time to celebrate that fact than on the 4th of July!

Hop along with our team as they share patriotic projects to ring in this Independence Day here in the US.


Start at http://blog.clearsnap.com after 9am Pacific on July 4, 2013. Enter for your chance to win one of our EXCLUSIVE Limited Edition 3 Color Red, White, and Blue ColorBox Pigment Inkpads!!

Here's the entire Hop List:

I used the Limited Edition USA inkpad (along with some other great products from Clearsnap) to create a tissue paper fringe party banner. It would be fun to top a cake, as the centerpiece on a table, or super size it to hang from a front porch.


The tissue paper was sprayed with Stephanie Barnards Sprays! Inks in Blueberry and Strawberry along with a couple masks from Crafter's Workshop. I then folded them in half and snipped with a scissors to create the fringe.


The final step is to add as many or a few layers as you like. These die cut images were inked up with the Made In The USA inkpad and several of our Rollagraph stamp wheels. I also added a fun gold element with a Design Adhesive word topped with Gold Designer Foil.

Thanks so much for hopping with us today! Be sure to leave a comment below for chance to win. I'm the last stop on the hop but you can visit us on Facebook for lots more inspiration and fun!

National Scrapbook Day Hop With Clearsnap!

Join the Clearsnap team all weekend long as we hop and scrap and hop some more! Our designers are bringing you a bundle of fun, inky techniques for your scrapbook pages. Just hop through and leave a comment on each post.


Each designer is giving away their own prize pack so be sure to visit every blog on the hop! Entries close on Monday May 6, 2013 at 12:00am.


I am sharing a mini that was started for my daughter's 5th birthday. She is very much into Fancy Nancy right now and making everything over-the-top adorned so I thought this canvas mini with lots of inky layers and embellishments would be just right to capture her at this moment in time.

The inside is yet to be completed but the cover was created using some masking and several layers of Mix'd Media Inx, Smooch Spritz and a touch of Smooch Accent Ink also. 

That's it from me! Be sure to leave a comment below for a chance to win a set of Designer Foils and Design Adhesives! Thanks for stopping by!


To continue on the hop, just follow the list:

Santa Stationary // Clearsnap + Stamps of Life Blog Hop


The Stamps of Life and Clearsnap are having a blog hop featuring The Stamps of Life stamps and Clearsnap inks and other fun products. Be sure you comment on all the stops along the hop because prizes will be randomly chosen among the comments! 
The Stamps of Life will be giving away a prize to 3 lucky people – one stamp set (of the winner’s choice) per winner. 
Clearsnap will be giving away an assortment of Stephanie Barnard Colorbox Premium Dye inks. Enter to win using the widget on the Clearsnap blog and by leaving a comment on each blog in the hop:
Diana Gonzalez - http://www.arteypoemas.com/
Tami Sanders - http://tamisanders.com/
Jennifer Priest - http://hydrangeahippo.com


I used the borders4me stamp set and the postmarks2stamp along with my favorite inks - Stephanie's Premium Dye Ink colors and the new Sprays! spray ink to put together a stationary set for writing letters to Santa Claus.

The envelope comes pre-addressed to the North Pole and the papers contain the same postmark border. We of course need multiple pages because there is always someone who wants to add to their list or let Santa know about a misbehaving sibling :)


This faux wax seal is so easy to create and really adds an official touch. Emboss several layers of Scentz Embossing Powder in Peppermint and on the final heat set, press your stamp into the hot powder. Just be sure to ink up your stamp with watermark ink or a color to keep the stamp from sticking.


And to round out the set, I included a Santa head that can be used as an ornament or just a paper decoration. It is paper pieced and painted with the Premium Dye Inks as watercolors. His hat is colored with Sprays ink and accented with Sprinkles Chunky Glitter.

So much fun to create! I can't wait to fill this out with the kid's wishes!

Next on the hop is Judy Rozema. Be sure to leave comments on each stop for the most potential to win!

You Are My Anchor - Pink by Design Release Blog Hop


Hi and welcome to the Pink by Design release blog hop! Have you been anxiously awaiting some new pink stamps? I certainly have! We are doing a little hop today to share a sneak of the new sets.

I worked with the new Ahoy half pint set, complete with anchors and weighty sentiments. Doilies, chevron and sailors go together, right?


It is so much fun! I just love all the new mini stamps.

Sarah will be doing a UStream tonight at 8pm CST and you know she'll bring the fun and probably some great giveaways too!


As it turns out, I ended up with a duplicate of Fresh Goodies (the September stamp of the month) and will be giving it away to one lucky hopper! Just leave a comment on the post below and please become a follower of this blog if you are not already.

And that's all for me - hop on over to see the lovely card Annette has put together.

World Card Making Day!


Hello and happy world card making day! It's been pretty busy around our house with a new little boy babe these past couple weeks so I probably won't have a chance to craft along with you all today but I do have a card to share and some good stuff to give away too so keep reading!



This is a card I made one night after reading the kids In the Night Kitchen by Maurice Sendak before bed. After they finished giggling about the naked boy in the story and settled in, I snuck off and put together this card inspired by the image on the very last page. It kind of has a 70's vibe, do you think? My great grandma used to have a bunch of these odd sized cards with funky images on the front from that era. Plus the sun rays kind of look like an afro :)

Okay so onto the giveaway, but first to support a couple company's that I love....


Post your cards onto the Paper Issues FB page for a chance to win one of 4 $20 gift certificates to the Paper Shop! Woot Cassie!!


Pink by Design is also doing a challenge to celebrate the day for cards other than your typical A2 size. Stop by the blog to link up your square, easel and gatefold cards.


And I am giving away this half pint set called What's Your Number - super cute right?! Also a box full of card-making goodies from my stash - didn't have a chance to take a pic so it'll just have to be a surprise :) A mystery box!!

If you would like to be entered to win, please leave a comment below about anything you'd like, and if you are not already a follower of this blog, then please become one! I'll keep entries open through Monday night.

Have a wonderful day of card crafting!!

Chicago Mini Book + Blog Hop

Hello there! There is a new topic up at Paper Issues today and this time I am a part of the blog hop! The theme is "I Can See Clearly" and we want to see everything you have been making with transparencies, vellum, clear cardstock, etc. Of course there is a prize, sponsored by our own fabulous Lowri of Papervine and I am giving away a gift certificate to the Paper Issues shop too! So let's get started!

Here is everyone in the hop - visit in any order you'd like...

Sabrina ==> you are here 


And check out this amazing giveaway!! Packed full of goodness and all you need to do to be eligible to win is "like" the PaperVine page on Facebook. It wouldn't hurt to be a follower of the Paper Issues blog and fan of the Facebook page here too. Then just leave a comment letting us know you did so on this post


Another lucky hopper has the chance to win a $10 gift certificate to the PI store, which is packed full of goodies. Just leave a comment letting me know you are a follower of this blog- and become a follower if you are not already :)


For my project, I put together a mini book to bring on my trip to Chicago and the CHA show next week! The cover is a transparency I made with some stamps and chalk ink on leftover stamp backing. It was inspired by that clear walk-way in the Sears (Willis?) Tower - which of course I won't be walking across since it looks terrifyingly high up! But that is THE Chicago landmark right?


There is some Sass paper layered behind which has a few more layers of paint and ink on top and the rest of the book is just some 6x6 Basic Grey paper which made it incredibly quick to put together. 


On the cover I stamped with Lawn Fawn stamps and Colorbox Chalk Ink - chalk ink is the only kind that will dry on glossy surfaces (other than StazOn). You could emboss too if you are very patient and have a steady hand. 

And that's all from me. Visit Lowri's blog next ♥
