Clearly Besotted Stamps Birthday Blog Hop

Birthday-Blog-Hop

Hello and Happy World Card Making Day!

I am beyond thrilled to be joining the gals over at Clearly Besotted Stamps for their 1st birthday blog hop. If you’re a crafter and follow blogs, I’m sure you’ve seen some of their stamps around- it’s hard to miss. Their stamp sets and dies have taken the blog world by storm and with the amount of talent packed into their design team, along with the amazing products, it’s no surprise that their sets fly off the shelves.

If you have started the blog hop from the beginning, you should be arriving from Pamela Ho’s blog. If you get lost along the way, or want to start from the top, head over to the Clearly Besotted blog.

My first card showcases stamps from the new set, Set The Scene {available for purchase 10/6}. I decided to go a little non-traditional and instead of creating a scene within the snow globe image, I used some of the stamps to create a scene over my entire card.

Imagine how cute these stamps would be on gift tags or even scrapbook pages! I love the small scale of the buildings and check out that adorable sleigh and reindeer! Also, that cute little sentiment? It’s from the new set, Modern Christmas {available for purchase 10/6}.

My next card features some new and old Clearly Besotted Stamps. I paired my very first CBS stamp/ die set, Full Steam Ahead, with some elements from Set The Scene and the holly image from Holiday Sentiments {available for purchase 10/6}. I was so pleased that this card turned out exactly how I envisioned it- that’s not something that happens regularly!

It’s time to head on over to the last stop : Stephanie Klauck’s blog!
