As a Design Team member, I am showcasing the 'Positive Thoughts' stamp set as you have seen in various other projects of mine this past week! I bring this to you today for our 1st Getting Cricky With It Blog Hop! WOO HOO! You should be arriving here (your last stop) from Rebecca H's Blog. You can begin, or end at K. Andrew's Blog by clicking HERE!
So, before I divulge the creative details I'd like to pose a few questions and provide my personal answer to you.
1.) There are a LOT of sentiment stamp creators right now, how are K. Andrews different?! Well my Fabulous Friends, I would NOT lead you astray! K. Andrews stamps are different for several reasons. A. They are cut directly around the print, leaving no extra area to mistakenly pick up ink or transfer in any unwanted area. B. (My FAVORITE) She donates $1 from EVERY stamp set to various charities, ALWAYS! C. They can be used with ANY ink safely D. They are easy to use, leaving a sharp, clear image. E. They clean and store nicely. F. K. Andrew's is careful to be UNIQUE in her images and what she presents and finally, G. Kristal is a SUPER sweet gal, always considerate and giving to those of us loyal to her!
2.) How much are they?! Well, normally $15.99 but RIGHT NOW ONLY $14.99 AND, considering that you are making a charitable donation, ONLY $13.99 ;)
I welcome any other questions, or suggestions you may have and I'm happy to pass them on to her. As always, though I may receive products to use and highlight for you, I will ALWAYS, WITHOUT FAIL or lapse, only give you the TRUTH as I know it and my HONEST opinion!
Now, check out the INTERACTIVE project I have to share with you! It's a 7x9 piece of art work, perfect for a gift to a friend. The title is in fact, 'dear friend' because using these sayings made me think of something I'd like to share with a friend and then she can have this as a reminder when in self doubt!
The letters are cut from the 'Calligraphy' cartridge with a shadow. I LOVE baker's twine and added it here with my FAVORITE embellishment, BUTTONS!
The wheel spins and reveals 6 nice things a friend needs to hear....
"Whimsy is essential."
"A Queen is not afraid to fail." (With a Petaloo flower and Hiedi Swapp vintage bling).
"Brave is beautiful."
"You are the weaver of your own dreams."
I think the mix of fonts is really fun and I stamped in co-ordinating Quick Quotes Powder Puff Inks. The papers are all from Quick Quotes Club Q this month, as well as the projects shown previously!
I hope you've had fun hopping with us! Thank you for your support. Remember that I have my BIGGEST giveaway YET going on RIGHT NOW for over $500 in Products and Prizes! Click HERE to be taken there to participate!
For today's hop I would like to GIVE AWAY THIS stamp set, 'Positive Thoughts,' that I've enjoyed and share all week! Leave a comment below once you've become a follower and I'll draw a random winner on Monday! Thank you dear FABULOUS FRIENDS! Have a fantastic weekend!
