Hello Crafty Friends &
Welcome to the Spread Joy Not Germs Blog Hop.
Welcome to the Spread Joy Not Germs Blog Hop.
This hop is a collaboration of many crafting companies and was set up by Catherine Pooler and Hedgehog Hollow. There will be lots of prizes and giveaways along the way. There are 31 (!!) Sponsors. For a full hop list and all the details on the hop or if you get lost on your way you can visit either of these two blogs!
This is a HUGE blog hop with over 140 participants. The prizes will be randomly drawn from all the blogs and all the comments. So you may leave as many comments on as many blogs as you can! Some of our sponsors are offering discounts and freebies which can only be found on the company blogs! So have fun hopping and commenting and keep in mind that the more you comment the more chances you will have of winning prizes ;-)
Deadline to enter the hop for prize eligibility is April 24th. Winners will be announced on Monday, April 27 on the blogs of Catherine Pooler and The Hedgehog Hollow.
I am promoting Whimsy Stamps in this hop today and I am happy to announce that I will be giving away a $15 Gift Certificate from Whimsy Stamps! WOOHOO! So make sure and comment if you want to have a chance on winning.
Denise from Whimsy Stamps is very generous and the Whimsy prize will be a $15 Gift Certificate on each of the Creative Team team blogs!
You can visit the Whimsy Stamps Inspiration blog HERE to read more.
That means all my participating Whimsy teamies have a $15 gift certificate up for grabs! ;-) Make sure and check their blogs as well. Hint: There are some links for you further down ;-)
Ok and now on to the hop and my creations! If you have arrived here from Annette Allen then you are on the right track!
My card today showcases the NEW Cute Cacti clear stamp set with matching Cute Cacti Outline dies, the NEW Festive Desert 6x6 Designer Papers and the NEW Festive Edger die set.
I colored my images with Copics and pencils. The wall behind the cacti was inked using the Brick stencil and Memento Potters Clay ink.
The sentiment is included with the Cute Cacti clear stamp set. I stamped with Versamark ink and embossed using silver embossing powder. In real life it is much brighter and shinier than in the picture. It's always hard to catch shiny things in pictures.
As I mentioned above my participating Whimsy teamies have some prizes to giveaway as well:
Jeanette Comerford , Kerys Sharrock , Wendy Nicola Jackson , Ute Berger , Katie Brooks , Tricia Barber
To continue to the next stop in the hop please scroll down!
Here's my second card I created with these super cute cacti products from Whimsy Stamps.
Here's a shot from another angle:
I hope I could inspire you with my creations. Thank you for hopping along and good luck!
Your next stop in the hop is Ardyth Percy-Robb.
Here is a link list of all Whimsy products used on my cards:
Stay healthy everyone and remember spread joy not germs!
