We are showcasing the new STAMPtember® products that have just been released. CLICK HERE to see them all. It is a HUGE release with loads of fabulous stamps, dies, stencils and much more !

Now, for my cards! :)  For this 1st card, I used the new super cute Trick or Treat Clear Stamp Set by Simon Says. The "Dracula kitty" and "mummy puppy" are just too sweet! Great sentiments too!


I used papers from the Mister Fox Paper Pad by Kaiser as well as some Doodlebug Halloween Twine, White Glitter and a Wood Dot by My Mind's Eye.


The next card uses the new Christmas Scene Stencil and Inside Holiday Greetings Clear Stamp Set By Simon Says. (Which works for both inside and outside of cards! ;)


I used paper by Simple Stories,  some White Opal Liquid Pearls, May Arts Natural Twine and lots of  Chunky Glitter! I made the "snow hill" by simply "filling in" the stencil with some Glossy Accents and then the glitter.


 So now it's YOUR turn ! Happy Crafting !!

                                                                       

From here you need to hop on over to the amazing Teresa Kline's Blog! 

You have until Wed 8am Ohio time.  1pm UK time, 2 pm CET to join in :-)

Here is the entire Blog Hop List!

MELISSA    

                                                                       

And finally, this is the card I sent to Heidi for her Birthday. I used the Simon Says Balloon Dies and Birthday Messages Clear Stamp Set.


Because of the large and odd shape of the card, I had to make my own "envelope". So I used the Cuttlebug/Anna Griffin Flourish Emblem Die and some pink and kraft cardstock. :)


Have fun hoppin'!!
