*UPDATED BELOW WITH WINNER*** Happy 2019, crafty friends! I'm excited to be a part of the Seasons Giving Blog Hop hosted by Latisha Yoast. Thank you so much for your support this year…I truly appreciate it! If you are not already a follower, be sure to sign up for my mailing list or keep up with my daily creations on instagram...
In the spirit of celebration, I thought I'd share two of my favorite celebration cards from this year....First up is this birthday card that was featured over on the Neat and Tangled blog earlier this year. You can check out the post here. This card was so much fun to make and can be easily created in multiples or in a different color scheme for any occasion. Distress Oxides and Distress Blending Brushes really made this card come together.
Second, one of the last cards I made this year, (but one of the most fun) using the Simon Says Stamp/CZ Design Birthday Palooza stamps and dies, a bit of loose Copic coloring and super cute sprinkles:
I'd like to share this fun with you with a chance to win the stamps, dies and stencils I used to create these 2 cards.
TO ENTER: Follow me on Instagram, and please leave me a comment below letting me know how you are celebrating the new year and I will pick a winner from the comments sometime on Monday, January 7th.
WINNER HAS BEEN SELECTED: (Lana, I have emailed you)
The winner will receive the 4 items shown below: Simon Says Stamp/CZ Design Birthday Palooza stamps and dies, the Neat and Tangled Balloon Duo stencil and the Neat and Tangled So Many Sentiment stamps!
Here is a list of ALL the participants on the hop. Remember the more stops you make, the more chances you have to win!!! Thanks for stopping by and good luck to all :)
