Yes, we have PRIZES! There are three (3) prize packages that include one of each:

To be eligible, you must be a US resident (see Official Rules), comment on our blog and that of each Stampendous designer’s blog posts each day of the hop and tell us in what state you live. Deadline to comment for our prizes is Sunday, October 18, 2015. Winners will be selected by random.org and will be announced sometime on Monday, October 19th.
Wait! For our Aussie friends, be sure to comment and tell us where you’re from, because our Australian Distributor The Stencil Specialists are sponsoring a prize for one friend “down under” to win a Stampendous Stamp, a Dreamweaver Stencil and a surprise goodie from their terrific stock of Stampendous merchandise!



1.  Stamp Candy Canes on Mixed Media White Paper with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and color the pine needles and bow with Spectrum Noir pens and the candy cane with colored pencils.
2.  Glue blue and green buttons onto the ornaments, they fit perfectly and look so cute.

3.  Chalk around the image using blue chalk and an flat brush.
4.  Sprinkle Spoonful of Snow onto the bottom of the panel and heat from underneath so it doesn't blow off.  Then layer onto a glossy silver panel and glue to a blue card.
5.  Stamp sentiment on white paper with black, sponge with blue ink, layer onto silver paper and pop.

Love how you used the stamps to make the buttons into ornaments.
Having the silver hanger really makes them.
I have to get my buttons out and start using them.

This is a wonderful image. So well colored and the snowy embossing powder is a great addition as are the buttons for ornaments.

This is awesome with those buttons as berries and beautiful coloring. I love how you always find a way to add some Stampendous bling to your cards. It really makes them polished.
