So glad you have decided to join us to celebrate our one year birthday for Stamps R Us Challenges Blog. We are celebrating by having a blog hop, with oodles and oodles of prizes! You can find the list of all our sponsors and what the prizes are on the Stamps R Us blog.
If you’ve arrived here from Marilyn's blog, then you are on the right track! If you wish to start at the beginning so you don’t miss any of the fabulous creations from the DT’s head on over to the Stamps R Us blog.
Our wonderful sponsor at Stamps R Us for our Birthday challenge is Whimsie Doodles! To help Stamps R Us celebrate our birthday Whimise Doodles is giving our fans a 10% off coupon good for 30 days from the start of our current challenge! For your shopping pleasure the code for a 10% discount is SRU10.
I got to work with this adorable image “Sea Shell Koale” from Whimsie Doodles, and colored the image with Copics. I decided to make a tent fold card. I used the Spellbinders round dies to cut the circle in the middle, and add the frame. The waves were printed on card stock (Sweet Threads by Basic Grey) and then cut out and glued to the frame. The sentiment is computer generated. The designer paper is from the Summer Days paper pad by Echo Park.
Your next hop along the way is Paige, wait till you see her gorgeous card! Here's a list of our design team blogs in case you get lost along the way:
