Blog Hop ~ I Brake For Stamps

This blog hop is a shout-out & Thank You to Della of I Brake For Stamps (IBFS) who is a huge behind the scenes helper for Susana's Custom Art & Card Design - she makes all the stamps!
All the DT's blogs feature a different project featuring a stamp from Della's store, so make sure and hop all the way through the end.

For one lucky HOPPER there will be a prize, but you have to leave a comment on every blog in order for a chance to win - also at the store blog - there will be a question for you to answer! The lucky winner will be picked randomly from comments left on one of the DT's blogs - but it's a MYSTERY which blog it will be!
The prize up for grabs is a brand new Ranger Heat Gun - it heats quickly & does NOT blow your embossing powder around - it's FANTASTIC - and 4 IBFS stamps!

There's even more:
Della at I Brake For Stamps is generously offering 15% off all purchases at her store, expires the 16th. The coupon code is BLOGHOP and it's for IBFS store ONLY! ***(NOT at SCACD!)***
Only 4 days to use it so whatcha waiting for!!!

Now go get hoppin'!! The first blog on this blog hop is Suzanne's.






When I was asked to go to Della's fabulous store to choose a stamp to use on my card for this blog hop, I really got excited! And - WOW - it was not an easy task to pick just one, there are so many wonderful stamps to look at! Finally I ended up with this little darling, #RBG130 Girl Praying. This image is also to be found at a stamp sheet along with a little praying boy and sentiments, click HERE to see it.

I decided to do a different type of card today than what I usually do. I have looked at this kind of card folding in my friend Marianne's blog, she's a big inspiration source! {hugs} I colored the image with Prismacolor pencils and the sentiment is computer generated.



















Other things I've used are: Nestabilities dies, Bosskut die,Kaisercraft pearls, buttons, ribbon and flowers from my stash, Scrapper's Floss, a Fiskars edge punch, EK Success leaf punch, and I made some simple beaded pins.


Thanks for looking at my card! Smiley from millan.net
