STAMPlorations Christmas Release Blog Hop!



Today begins STAMPlorations CUTplorations Christmas Release Blog Hop!  Come join us for inspiration, fun and a chance to win prizes!   


Leave a comment along the way for a chance to win one of two prizes: choice of one (1) cover plate die & one (1) word/phrase die from the new Christmas dies featured during the hop OR a $15 GC to the store. Commenting closes November 9. Winners to be announced on November 10 in the October Winners post.



 For my first card, I created a night sky background with distress oxide inks then used the Oh My Stars Mini Stencil and a textured embossing paste.  I cut black cardstock with one of the new Two Reindeer CUTploration dies and cut shiny, silver cardstock using the Oh Holy Night word phrase die.


Oh, there's also a SALE!

From October 29 to November 12 dies in the Christmas Dies section are 10% off - no coupon needed. The discount is automatically applied in the shopping cart.  Want an even bigger discount?  Add my code to your cart for an additional 20% off!




For my second card, I layered black cardstock and plaid pattern paper to the card base.  I cut gold, shiny cardstock using one of the new Two Reindeer CUTploration dies.



I used white paint to splatter then added the Let Earth Receive Her King word phrase die.  I have to admit, I really like the way this traditional, masculine-looking card came out.


Be sure to join the hop to see what the CUTplorations Design Team has to share with you!  It all starts on the STAMPlorations blog!
