Welcome to the CardMaker and The Stamps of Life Blog Hop!
You should have arrived from Vanessa Buzard's Blog
If you want to start at the beginning of the hop go to the CardMaker Blog.
The CardMaker Designers and The Stamps of Life Designers will be teaming up to show you some wonderful projects featuring stamps from The Stamps of Life.
Make sure and comment on each of the blogs in the hop! One winner will be randomly chosen to win 3 stamp sets of their choice ($12.95 value or less)! The winner will be chosen July 31st and announced on The Stamps of Life Blog on August 1st.
I started with a box of patterned cards from Michael's.
I opened up each card and ran them through my Big Shot with the Sizzix Frame-lits Elegant Stand up card die.
This is how it looks after it is cut.
I die cut the green strip and added it to the card.
Then I die cut the elegant label and added it to the card.
Finally, I added a panel that I stamped with Elegant2stamp set from The Stamps of Life and a couple of colored gems.
Here's a look at some more of them.
I was able to make 40 of them in 2-3 hours.
Everyone who received one loved them!
Such a quick and easy way to mass produce cards for your own use or a gift!
Now continue of the hop and see what everyone else made!
Next stop is Peggy Ward
HAPPY HOPPING!
