Clearly Besotted Stamps Birthday Blog Hop

Posted on by

Birthday Blog HopToday I’m joining Clearly Besotted Stamps as they celebrate their 1st birthday with a blog hop. If you’re following the hop, then you should have arrived here by the ever-so-talented Jen Rzasa’s blog. Stephanie, from Clearly Besotted, was so generous to send me a couple stamp sets to play with for the hop. The first card I made uses the Pretty Poinsettia stamp set. I colored the poinsettia with Copics and trimmed the bottom of the flower out to pop up over the bottom panel.
Clearly BesottedThis next card uses the Modern Christmas stamp set. I love these pattern trees all stamped in different colors and overlapping one another.
Clearly BesottedI believe the sweet and talented Amy Walford designed this stamp set. I just adore Amy’s clean and simple style!
GIVEAWAY: I have a Modern Christmas stamp set to give to one lucky person who comments on this post!
GRAND PRIZE: $75 Simon Says Stamp gift certificate & £100 Clearly Besotted gift certificate for one winner, which will be  picked from all the comments left on all the blogs.  Only one comment per blog but it’s fine to leave a comment on every blog.
Your next stop on the hop is the lovely Mandy Gill.
Happy 1st Birthday Clearly Besotted! Thanks so much for stopping by!
