Clear Dollar Stamps BLOG HOP!!!!

Tweet

Hello and welcome to Clear Dollar Stamps' January Blog Hop. As you can see from the logo above, we will be having a hop monthly, showcasing some old and some new stamps that we pick from our favorite sets.

We have a team brimming with super talented ladies who just LOVE our Clear Dollar Stamps, so I hope you will join us the 3rd Sunday of every month to see what we have prepared for you.

If you came from Barb's beautiful blog, you're in the right place. 

If you just happened on to my blog, head on over and visit Lori @ Clearly iStamp to start at the beginning. You will want to comment on all of the blogs to increase your chances of winning a prize!

This month's hop theme is "New Beginnings". We can interpret it in any way we choose so I went with a new day. Isn't it great that though we may make mistakes, or have problems, that God gives us new days to start over fresh?  :)

I used the "Rooster Sunrise" set that I illustrated for CDS.

The Moss Twill Ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

The Green Crepe cardstock is from The Paper Temptress.

The DP is "Butterfield" by Memory Box.

The sunflowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

If you have yet to see my post from yesterday, I hope you will scroll down and take a look. I have several cards that are done with my latest digi illustrations and a chance to win the digis just by commenting on that post!

Your next stop on the hop is sweet Cassie's blog. I am sure you are going to love what she has to show you!

Thanks so much for dropping by!

Hi again!

I have another style of card to show you that is done with my Rooster Sunrise" stamp set that will be available November 1st at Clear Dollar Stamps.

I used lots of Kraft paper and some Natural Jute String from Really Reasonable Ribbon to top off that "country" feel.

Check out all of the colors of Jute String here. It is a great way to add country charm to any project!

Hello Again!

Today I have a card to share that is done with my latest illustration for Clear Dollar Stamps. It is called "Rooster Sunrise" and will be available November 1st.

That pretty ribbon is Really Reasonable Ribbon's Sheer Iridescent Parrot Green.

The background is watercolored on watercolor paper, then I offset a square Nestability cut it out, then popped it up backed by a piece of brown cardstock. Another trick I used on this guy was using a white gel pen for the highlights on his feathers.

Other girls that did a sample with this set are:

Laurie

Katie

Gloria
