Fun with Paper, Ribbon and Stamps

Yes, it’s blog hop time again!  What's this?  Three weeks in a row?  We've had so much fun collaborating with some great companies, and this week is no exception!  This time three terrific companies are partnering to bring you some of the hottest and most exciting projects you’ll see! At Stampendous we’re lucky enough to be partnering with the folks at May Arts Ribbon and with the lovely people who bring you Core’dinations papers and the new David Tutera line of creative papers and embellishments.

AND there will be prizes! Here on the Stampendous Impressions Blog we’ll be giving away three prize packages including the Cling Jumbo Butterfly Trio (WITH Free Template included), A Jumbo Perfectly Clear Handle, a random assortment of the David Tutera products,  some Core’dinations goodies (again random), a Sand-It tool to make the most of your ColorCore paper, and some yummalicious May Arts Ribbons (random assortment). You will want to be commenting on every post this week, let me tell you!

The project I'm sharing today doesn't include any stamping, but I have used the spectacular Stampendous Oceanic Tinsel Embossing Powder.  The embossing powder was strategically placed on the card base so that when I adhered the "Thank You" die cut by David Tutera, the fantastic embossed area would highlight the die cutting.  A simple bow with my favorite May Arts Bakers Twine and a narrow strip of Core'dinations Jillian Spotted Cardstock that I gave a light sanding with my Sand It Gadget, were the perfect finishing touches on this card.

I had originally planned on stamping on this card, but as it was coming together, I changed my mind. The die cut said it all and the sparkle from this beautiful embossing powder was perfect!  Come back on Friday and I'll have a stamped card that I can't wait to share with you!

Folks from all three teams have projects for you today! Leave a comment on each blog for the best chance at winning.
