Hello everyone!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
I'm so excited to participate in the Season's Givings Blog Hop again! This is an AMAZING hop with a ton of fabulous and wonderful designers in the industry - and EVERY stop on this hop has a giveaway!! I will have the list of all the stops on this hop in the post for you to check out in case you missed any!
I am BEYOND thankful for all of you - those of you that have been reading my blog for years and watching my videos, and those of you who are new-to-me too. I appreciate the time taken out of one's day to come spend in my corner of the interwebs more than I can say. I just love sharing all of this with all of you and I especially love doing giveaways and being able to brighten someone's day. All my giveaway info will be at the end of this post!
I wanted to make cards and a video for y'all for this post - I have the cards but am having technical issues with the video so that will be posted later on today!
I used my all-time favorite stamp set - Simon Says Stamp's Beautiful Flowers. I made 2 slimline cards - so they measure 4x9 1/4".
I heat embossed the floral onto black card stock with Wow's Gold Pearl Sparkle embossing powder. I added some white splatter and Studio Katia Gold Spark Crystals.
The stamped sentiment is from Simon's Big Thanks Words stamp set, and the die cut is the Big Thanks Wafer die that I die cut from Simon's gold glitter card stock.
I kept the inside of the cards simple and just stamped the large floral from the Beautiful Flowers stamp set with Delicata Golden Glitz ink and that was it!
To see how these cards came together check out my video below:

I get asked a lot about where to purchase the supplies I use in my videos and blog posts. I list all the supplies I use at the end of my posts (below) or in the description box directly below my video on YouTube.
Compensated affiliate links used when possible at no extra cost to you. Affiliate linking is what keeps my blog and YouTube channel up and running and enables me to work from home and provide for my children! I appreciate your support more than words can say! I occasionally receive product for free from stores/manufacturer with no obligation on my part to use/review - I only use and share what I personally love. Everything else I purchase myself!
Now for my giveaway!
I destash quite often - and would rather pass on stamps/dies/etc on to those that can give the items some love! Some of this is destashed (aka products sent to me that aren't my style or that I just won't get around to using) and some I purchased for this giveaway. All in there's about $150+ US worth of stamps and dies here that will go to one of you!
To enter all you need to do is leave a comment here on this post telling me where you're from and how long you've been visiting my blog/YouTube channel (and if you're new that's great too!). The comments will close at 11pm Central time January 5 at which time a random winner will be chosen and e-mailed. This giveaway is open to everyone!
