Hello World Blog Hop

Hello, and Happy World Card Making Day!

Welcome to the Hello World Blog Hop! What better way to celebrate World Card
Making Day than hopping along with crafters in a fundraiser for a good cause.

You should have arrived here from Heather's blog. If not, start at Catherine's blog
and follow the blog hop order and you can find out how and why this hop was created.
And also because you won't want to miss an ounce of inspiration!

I love the Hello World stamp set that Chaitali designed with the "hello" greeting
 in several different languages, and here's what I came up with.

I die cut several different speech bubbles from watercolor card stock and
embossed different "hellos" before ink distressing them with Distress inks.
I mounted them in rainbow order, and added a few white ones for interest.

You may now purchase Hello World in the Stamp Nation store! All proceeds
from the sale of the Hello World stamp and dies between today and Oct 7th
will go towards purchasing computers and other school supplies for
 Jennifer Ingle's husband's classroom. Help us reach our goal!

Now head on over to Allison Cope's blog for more inspiration!
Thank you in advance for your support ♥

HOME is Where the Heart Is

Catherine Pooler has a new home for her gorgeous, redesigned blog and she's throwing a
Housewarming Party--and everyone's invited!

The party runs like a regular challenge with prizes from some awesome sponsors:
CASual Fridays, Clearly Besotted Stamps, Ellen Hutson, Hero Arts, Penny Black,
Pretty Pink Posh, Some Odd Girl, and a one year membership to Stamp Nation!

The theme for the challenge is HOME. Each card that you link up earns you three entries
and you earn another entry by commenting on and becoming a subscriber
to Catherine's You Tube channel.

Here's my card for the challenge.

I masked off a rectangle on watercolor card and sponged on some distress inks.
Using dies, I die cut a house, bird, and branches and assembled them on the card.
The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.

Visit Catherine's blog for all the guidelines and details.
Catherine is also giving out a party favor to try Stamp Nation for just $1.

Go here for all the info on the trial for Stamp Nation and join the party!
You have until Wednesday, September 17th to link up your card
and winners will be announced on the 18th.
Hope to see you there!
