Welcome to the Clearly Besotted Stamps Birthday Blog Hop where we are celebrating Clearly Besotted Stamps One Year Anniversary! Has it been a year already? Doesn't time fly when you are having fun?! The Clearly Besotted Stamps Design Team plus some amazing guests are gathered today for an awesome blog hop full of prizes and inspiration for you. You should arrived here from the amazing Mandy Gill but if you get lost on the way please pop back to Stephanie's blog for the entire list of participants.
First of all, I just wanted to say how grateful I am to be part of this amazing stamp company. If you didn't already know, Stephanie is one of the sweetest, most kindest people I know. The whole Design Team are just amazing and I am so fortunate to get to work with such amazing, talented and caring people.
Anyway, you are here for the inspiration right?
As part of this amazing Blog Hop, we are giving away prizes and the first one is a stamp set of the participants choice. I have chosen the Pretty Poinsettia set to give away (more details on how you can enter will be below) and it is just a beautiful set. For my card I have heat embossed the poinsettias in clear embossing powder and then coloured with Copic Markers. I have generously gone over them all with the Wink Of Stella brush pen to give a lovely sparkle. The sentiment is from the Modern Christmas set.
SUPPLIES:
COPIC MARKERS: R24, R27, R29. Shadow: E40, E41, E42, E43, E44.
To be in with a chance to win the Pretty Poinsettia set, all you have to do is leave me a comment on this post and one lucky winner will be picked out of them all. Only one comment per person please. This giveaway is open worldwide.
As this is a Birthday Blog Hop I just had to make a Birthday card to celebrate too. I have used the gorgeous new Tasty Treats stamp set and dies for this one, along with some fab SSS dies.
SUPPLIES:
Stampin' Write Markers: Stawberry Slush, Baked Brown Sugar
As well as all of the participants of the Blog Hop giving away a stamp set, there is a grand prize of a $75 Simon Says Stamp gift certificate plus a £100 Clearly Besotted Stamps gift certificate for one lucky winner which will be picked from all the comments left on everyone's blog. You can comment on all the blogs but only one comment on each please. PLUS, if you use the discount code above you can receive 10% off your order made between the 5th October - 8th October 2013. For full details please visit Stephanie's Blog. Oh and remember the new products will available to buy tonight at 12 Midnight!
Wow, that was a long post! Your next stop along the ride is to the amazing Pamela Ho. Enjoy the rest of the blog hop and Happy World Card Making Day!
