Eureka Stamps Blog Hop

Hi there.  Welcome to the Eureka Stamps Blog Hop!  Our theme this month is Graduation/Wedding.  Since it is that time of year ALREADY!  Anyway, if you are arriving here from Jessica's Blog, then you are on the right path.  If this is your first stop, then head back to the main Eureka Blog, and start from the top of the hop.  Here is what I created for this one. 

Sorry the photo is a little blurry.  I recently got a full-time job, and my crafting time is next to non-existent.  Then you add on my lack of creativity due to a lot of personal junk going on in my life...and well...taking a photo at 8:30pm doesn't work very well...lol.  Anyway, for my image I used the Lg. Graduation Girl Stamps.  I stamped her and colored with markers.  Then I fussy cut her out, and layered onto some purple PP from my stash.  I added the Vertical Congratulations stamp for a sentiment. 

Well that is all from here.  Head on over to...

Eureka Stamps Blog Hop - Butterflies

Hi there, and welcome to the Eureka Stamps Butterfly Blog Hop! If you arrived here from Jessica B's blog, then you are on the right path. If this is your first stop, please head back to the main company blog, and start the hop from the top! This time around we are featuring some of the gorgeous butterfly stamps available at the Eureka Stamps Store. For my card, I chose the Butterfly Background Stamp.

I stamped this image onto black CS using Versamark ink, and then embossed with sticky powder. Next I used the rainbow rub-on foil on the butterflies. I love the look it gives. Such a simple thing to do, but such pretty results. Next I trimmed down the black CS, and layered onto some yellow CS, and then onto a cream CS base. For the sentiment, I used a sticker.

Well that is all from me. Head on over to...

I just feel in love with these adorable little chicks! This image is called Chicks in Egg, and comes in 2 sizes. ( I used the larger one.) I stamped it off and colored with watercolor crayons. I fussy cut it down, and layered onto a purple CS circle. I also wanted a little dimension to my card, so i used some foam tape to pop the little eggs around the big egg. My PP was from my stash (since I am focusing on using only what is already in my craftroom. The sentiment is the Happy Easter stamp also from Eureka stamps. I stamped that off on purple CS, and layered onto the base.

Eureka Stamps - Valentines/Love Blog Hop

Hi there and welcome to the Eureka Stamps Valentine's day/ Love themed blog hop! If you just arrived here from Ceal's Blog, then you are on the right path. If not, then head back to the Main Eureka/QKR Stampede Blog and start from the top. Here is what I came up with for this "love"ly themed hop. Isn't this dragon so cute????!!! I think he is adorable. This guy is called Sm. Hearty Dragon. He is also available in a larger version, or a digi. I stamped this guy off, and colored with watercolor crayons. Now most dragons are green, but I really liked the idea of a pink and brown theme for this card. So I went with pinks and reds, and a brown body. I layered him onto some PP from SEI, and then stamped the Happy Valentine's Day stamp on the bottom. Last I added some little pink gems to the corners of the dragon image.

Now I must send you on to your next stop on this hop...

Eureka Stamps Blog Hop - Words

Hi there! I am so glad you are hopping along with us today. If you arrived here from Dawn's Blog, then you are on the right path...if not, please head back to the Eureka Stamps Blog for a complete hop order...you don't want to miss anyone! Our theme this time around is "Words". We are using Eureka Stamps Sentiment stamps as the focal point on our projects. Here is what I came up with.For my card, I used the I Can Do stamp which is the Bible verse Philippians 4:13. I stamped the image onto some PP from Bo Bunny. I really felt the paper was so pretty on it's own, it didn't need much else...but what fun would a card be without glitter????!!! So, I used some stickles on parts of the letters, and some smootch on some of the dragonflies and leaves on the PP.

Next I layered onto some grey CS, and then a white CS base. I added some little red brads to each corner too. Well that is all from me. Now off to your next stop on the way...

Hi there! If you arrived here from Dawn's Blog, then you are on the right path. If not, please head back to the Main Eureka Blog and start the hop from the beginning. Our theme this hop is Cats and Dogs. We are featuring some of the adorable cat and dog images from Eureka Stamps. Here is what I came up with using the Party Poopers stamps. I stamped this image off and colored with watercolor crayons. Next I layered onto the party themed paper I found in my stash. I used some stickers to embellish. The nice thing about this image is it's size. With such a large image, there isn't a lot of "extras" needed for the card, but it makes a great birthday card! My DD will be using this one for a party she is attending on Friday.

There are so many gorgeous and fun images in this category. Really is something for everyone. Be sure to check out the entire Eureka site to see what else there is. We simply can't show you them all. Here is my fall themed card. I started with the adorable Parachuting Squirrel stamp. I stamped him once on cream CS, and stamped just the leaf on some dark brown CS. When I stamped the leaf, I used versamark and sticky powder, then used some gold leafing to bring out the leaf (the sticky powder and gold leaf are available at our sister company QKR Stampede's site). Next I colored the squirrel with watercolor crayons. I used foam tape to pop the leaf off the main image. Next I did some layering with fall papers from BoBunny. I added some ribbon, and a rub-on for a sentiment.

Well that is all from me...now head on off to see what

Haven't the projects been great on this hop???!!! I just love the balloons and holders stamps. There is so much that can be done with them. For my project today, I decided to make a Halloween themed card. For my project, I used the black cat balloon, and the witch holder. I stamped them off with black in, and used a black marker to draw the "string". There are some string stamps available in the Eureka Stamps store if you would rather use those too. Next, I added some orange to the witch's dress and hat. I layered the images onto some orange CS, and then onto some PP from SEI's Halloween line. I used some grey ribbon to make a little "x", and added a punched out circle with the sentiment.

Well that is all from me for now. I hope you enjoyed the hop as much as I did. Now, head back to the Main blog and let us know what you think. Thanks for hopping with us!

Christmas In July - Eureka Stamps Blog Hop

HI there...and welcome to the next stop on the Eureka Stamps "Christmas in July" Blog Hop. If you are just arriving here on my blog, please head back to the Main Eureka Stamps/QKR Stampede Blog, and hop along with us from the start. You don't want to miss any of this...plus there is a prize involved!

If you have just arrived here from ROXIE'S BLOG, then you are right on track! Wasn't her project fabulous! I just love all the eye candy Roxie always provides for us...she is just so talented. Along with all the other projects you have seen on today's hop. Well...now it is my turn. I will warn you now...there are a lot of photos here, because that was the only way to show you all the sides of this project. That is right...SIDES. Today I have a Christmas Story themed decoration to share with you. I will start by showing you what I started with. A lovely wooden block. I painted it white, and then used some brown ink to ink distress the edges of the whole block. Next I went to town covering the whole think with some PP from Echo Park (which I also ink distressed). And here is what I ended up with. Now for a few shots of each side, then I will give you all the details. Ok...so when I first looked through the Eureka Stamps site at the Christmas section, these images just popped out at me. I knew exactly what I wanted to do, and that I was going to make a 3-D decoration with these. These images are called "circles". There are actually a lot of them to choose from in the Christmas section. I used the following ones:

LG. Mary and Joseph

LG. Three Wisemen

LG. Shepherd Circle

and LG. Manger Circle

I stamped each one onto cream CS with brown ink. Then I fussy cut them out, and layered onto the PP which was attached to the block. Oh yeah, and I ink distressed those too. Last, I felt the top needed something, so here is what I put on there.

This is the 3-D/Pattern Poinsettia stamp. These are great stamps that add sooo much to a project. I really felt this needed something else, and once I added this, I knew it was complete. I love the way this turned out, and was very impressed with how simple it really was to make.

Well, I will send you off now. I hope you enjoyed our hop as much as we enjoyed sharing with you. Now head on over to

Summer Fun - Eureka Stamps Blog Hop

Hi there...welcome to the first ever Eureka Stamps DT Blog Hop! Our theme is Summer Fun, and we are featuring some of the fabulous Summer and Patriotic images from the Eureka Stamps Store. Now, if you have arrived here from ROXIE'S BLOG...then you are on the right path. If you just joined the hop here, please head back to the Eureka Stamps Main Blog to start from the top of the hop order. You don't want to miss a single one of the blogs for sure! Now...if you are right on track from ROXIE'S BLOG...lets get started...Wasn't her project fabulous???!!! I just love seeing what Roxie creates...she is so talented. Well here is my project featuring this adorable image...Isn't she cute? This image is one of the images from the Balloons and holders category. This one is called Liberty Balloon Holder, and I used the Firecracker Balloon with her. There are a couple other balloons and holders that fit the 4th of July/Patriotic theme also. Be sure to check them out. But for now...here is what I did with these images....Sorry the photo is kinda blurry. I was going to make a card for this hop, and at the last minute last night, I changed my mind...lol. I came up with the scrapbook LO instead. I wanted a page to use in our 2011 scrapbook album, so I thought this would look perfect for our 4th of July page. I was at my LSS the other day, and picked up this new paper from BoBunny. There is another page to make a 2 page LO, but I didn't get that one done yet. I started by cutting the scalloped circle paper in half, and adhered it to the top of the page. I thought it looked like those semi-circle banner flags you see hanging for 4th of July decorations. I used my Cricut to cut the "USA" boarder, and added that to the page. I cut a piece of blue CS for a photo mat, and also cut the 4th of July with my Cricut. Then I added the adorable Liberty Balloon image and her firecracker balloons. I stamped her and colored with watercolor crayons. Then I fussy cut her out. For the balloons, I used glitter gel pens, and fussy cut them. I then used some red ribbon as the "strings" of the balloons. I cut each piece of ribbon a different length. I ran them all through my Xyron, and adhered them to the bottom left corner of the page. LOVE IT!!!! Last, I added some stickles to the USA, and 4th of July die cuts. Now, I just can't wait to get an adorable photo of my girls for this LO.

Well that is all from me...I must send you on your way now. You are now off to see what...

KRISTIE

has in store for you. Thanks for stopping by!
