Scrappy Mom's Stamps - October Release - Guest Designer post!

Good morning! I am SOOO excited to be a guest designer this month for Scrappy Moms Stamps, because it meants I get to help show off the newest stamp sets for the month of October!!! And as an added bonus, Scrappy Moms Stamps is offering free shipping on any purchase made today (October 7th) until October 16th!!! 

So, without further ado, here they are, with a card I made to go with each of them! The first one is called Believe in Miracles - and this set is unique, because $2 from the sale of every set will be donated to a national cancer group that funds research and support for patients and their families!


For my card, I cut the ribbon from Stand and Salute, inked the edges, then covered it with Glossy Accents and Martha Stewart chunky glitter. Added some tulle behind it which I also inked a bit on the edges, and put it all on a doily, again with inked edges. I cut a plain circle for the center of the doily, and inked it as well (can you tell I inked a LOT on this card?) Stamped the sentiment from the new set, and added some crinkle ribbon and a flower that I cut from Mother's Day Bouquet and layered with a button and some jute cord.



This second set is called A Holiday to Remember and is LOADED with great holiday sentiments all the way from Thanksgiving to New Years!


I decided to start off with a Christmas card! I used the Christmas Solutions cartridge - it is retired, but a great cartridge if you have it or can get your hands on it! I cut the bell out with the shadow layers, inked the edges with black ink, and covered it with Glossy Accents and Martha Stewart chunky glitter. The bow I cut out and covered with flocking - LOVE how fuzzy and cozy it came out! The frame for the sentiment is cut out from Sophisticated, and also inked before stamping the sentiment. Finished off with some crinkle ribbon, a button, and some jute cord on the bow, and then added some corners that were punched with a Fiskars corner punch.


I am also linking this up to the newest challenge in the Moxie Fab World - Textured to Perfection. That flocked ribbon just has the softest texture! It just makes me want to touch it!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend - and don't forget free shipping from today until the October 16th on any purchase from Scrappy Moms Stamps! Great time to shop if you have been waiting!
