Good Morning and Happy Tuesday!

I hope you are having a great day today!   This week at SP & Company Stamps, we are celebrating not only our wonderful January Stamp releases, but we are using some of our stamps from this past year.  Today, I used the Large Polka Dot Background Stamp, released this month and I also used

Candy Hearts Stamp set, released last January 2011. 

Card size:  4.25" x 5.5"

SP & Company Stamps:  Large Polka Dot Background, Candy Hearts

Cardstock:  American Crafts

Embossing Ink:  Big & Bossy Clear

Embossing Powder:  Ranger Distress Milled Lavender, Zing Rouge

Chalk Ink:  VersaMagic Jumbo Java, Red

Embroidery Floss:  DMC White

Buttons:  Unknown

Valentine's Day is coming up and I wanted to make several cards!  I love combining stamp sets when I can and I love background stamps.  They can really make a card interesting and make it "Pop!"  I used the Ranger Distress Embossing Powder for the background.  Once it is embossed, you can rub it and release some of the crystals and it makes it more distressed like it is not completely stamped. 

I love that look! 

Jump on over to the SP & Company Store and get your stamps and all your stamping needs.  Also, don't forget to check out Sami's projects at Scrapmaster's Paradise!



SP & Company Stamps...Polka Dots

Happy Tuesday! 

Hope your day is going well!  Here is a card I made from the SP & Company "Large Polka Dot Background" stamp just release this week!  I love this background stamp!!!  You can make your own polka dot backgrounds now!  I used this stamp to make a polka dot border on one side of my Kraft background.  I embossed it and it is so cool!  I also used the Just a Note stamp set from SP & Company and it is one of my favorite sets!  Make sure you go check out the SP & Company Stamps Blog for some great inspiration and don't forget to order all your stamps from SP & Company!

SP & Company Stamps January Blog Hop 2012

Happy Tuesday to You!

Welcome to our first SP & Company Blog Hop in 2012! 

I am so excited about 2012 and all the fun things that SP & Company has in store for you! We have lots of wonderful stamps and the quality of these clear stamps is incredible. I just love how these stamps will stamp such clean, clear images and they are so easy to clean!

This month's color is WHITE (or Cream)! After you're done hopping around today, make sure you play along with this month's White challenge (click here for details) for a chance to win some awesome SP and Company prizes!

I wanted to show off one of our new background stamps called Little Floral Background.  Although it is a "floral" background, I wanted to make a more masculine card to show its versatility.  I chose to use the background on the card base and to make a pattern piece to use along with the base.  I used Ranger Distress Ink in Tea Dye to give it the worn distressed look and also use VersaMagic Chalk Ink in Jumbo Java to add a more worn look.

Here is the card I created for the Blog Hop:

Cards Size: 4.25" x 5.5"

SP & Company Stamps:  Little Floral Background, Bold Sentiments 1

Cardstock:  Stampin' Up

Dye Ink:  Ranger Distress Tea Dye

Chalk Ink:  VersaMagic Jumbo Java

Embroidery floss:  DMC Vanilla and Tan

I hope 2012 is starting out on a good note for you!  So far so good here, although it is quite cold here in East TN!  Winter has set in for a couple of days, but it is supposed to warm up a little this weekend!  We have not had any cold weather here and it has been really mild for this time of year.  I do not like really cold weather, so I hope it stays rather mild this winter.  :)

I will be back tomorrow with the details on my sneak peek quilt picture I posted a couple of days ago!

Hope you have a wonderful day!
