Hello and welcome to the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Birthday Blog Hop! Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps is so excited to be celebrating four wonderful years!
I feel so blessed to be a part of the SNSS family. Korin is such a SWEET 'n SASSY person to work with and along the way, I've met many SWEET 'n SASSY people. I also just love the SWEET 'n SASSY images!
A fantastic group of Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps design team members (past and present), along with some special friends, have put together this fabulous Birthday Blog Hop to kick off a whole month of fun. We have 36 stops so the hop will take place over three days - feel free to take your time visiting each blog! You have until 11:59pm EST November 9th to leave comments on as many blogs as you can. On Saturday, November 12th Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps will announce FOUR winners (chosen at random from comments on random stops along the hop); each lucky winner will receive a prize pack including stamps, dies, paper & twine valued at $40!
If you have been following along already you should have come from Kim Schofield. If you are only starting here, please head back to the SNSS blog and go from there. You won't want to miss any stops along the way! Also, don't forget to comment on as many stops as you can....the more comments the better your chance of winning one of the fabulous prize packs! :)
I decided to make a birthday card to fit the occasion, and since I always have a hard time making masculine cards, I wanted to make sure that I came up with something that can be given to anyone-female, male, girl, or boy. Here is what I created for the hop:
I used SWEET Rhubarb's Cupcake digi image and Greetings from Turtle clear stamp set.
Tools and Accessories: Swiss Dots embossing folder (Cuttlebug), Upper Crest border punch (Fiskars), Sewing machine (Janome), Banner die (Lil' Inkers), Circe die (Spellbinders)... Copic Markers... Red Baker's Twine, Red button, Mini Stamples (Tim Holtz), Rhinestones, Red Stickles...
Your next stop on the hop is Lydia Fiedler, but just in case there are any hiccups, here is the whole list of celebrants on this party train:
Thank you for stopping by,
Monika
