I've never had a favorite before

A favorite stamp, that is. I've been a Stampin' Up demonstrator for 4 years. I really enjoy card-making, scrapbooking, and all things paper. It's a hobby, sometimes a business, and it's been a great way to spend time with other women pursuing creativity. Unfortunately, I have lots of hobbies so I seem to go through seasons of enjoying stamping, and then I get on a sewing kick and forget I ever liked to stamp. Then I decide to spend a week cooking new recipes...and well, that's the nature of multiple hobbies I guess.



This stamp makes me want to stay on a stamping kick for-ever. And ever. Okay, not for eternity. I don't think I'll care about it in heaven. But during my toil on this earth I want to use this stamp on pillows, cards, walls... you get the point. I like the stamp. A lot.

So in celebration of this medallion stamp, I am offering a set of eight (8) Medallion Thank You note cards in assorted jewel tones, including my new favorite curry color. Just add your comment for a chance to win. I'll leave it open until Sunday evening at midnight and announce the winner Monday morning.



All the giveaways on the Nester's site have inspired me (and I didn't win anything, and neither did you, so this is like a second chance, only the value of the prize is about 50x less...but still beautiful). If you don't win, you can purchase them in a few weeks from my Etsy shop OR go to this website and buy the stamp and an inkpad for yourself and go to town! Just mention my name when they ask for a demonstrator contact and you will get a better price.

I'm adding my comment for a chance to win. I love the stamp. And I was not born in the 70's and still love that curry color.

That IS a great stamp, I must say.

Those cards are so cute! Going to the stamping class put me back in a scrapbooking mood. Sadly, I don't have any stamps so I just have to do what I can with scrapbooking supplies.

Rachel said...

Hey, it looks like the chances of winning this giveaway are a lot better than the Pioneer Women. It's not a kitchen aid, but useful nonetheless. Count me in.

Sarah said...

Hi! I think the cards/stamp are just beautiful! I love the possibilities. Anyway, tell me more about this discount fabric warehouse!

Kristin said...

Just commenting on how lovely those simple cards are! I'll have to try that. The ones you made for your workshop were cute too...any idea to use up scraps is a good idea :-)- Isn't the medallion just a dream? I have to say it's on my "favorites" list it too! I am also a fan of Crushed Curry. When I first saw it, I thought it was quite ugly (somewhere between puce and mustard plaster), but once I had it in my hands, I couldn't get enough! - Have a lovely weekend, ~Kristin
PS-Don't enter me into the contest b/c I have the stamp myself~

Amanda said...

Ooooh...looking at these is putting me in the mood to start stamping again. my stamps have been in a box under my bed for oh so long, but now I might have to pull them back out and get busy! :)

Dolly said...

those are gorgeous! Glad you kept the contest open, otherwise I wouldn't have seen it in time!

Thanks for the extension -- I'm going to pretend it's because you hoped I would win.

Just now checking your blog after "the move" so glad you extended. I was so sad not to win with the nester. That stamp is really great! I'll be unpacking all of my craft supplies into their new home over the course of the week....have lots of projects in mind :o)

Thanks for extending your contest so your mother has a chance to win your beautiful cards - and you know I love them more than anyone else would, because I think every thing you do is amazing and incredible.
(I don't suppose you give extra points for flattery, do you? Even truthful flattery?)

Love you (and your cards),
MOM

Love the cards. I enjoy stamping too! I might just get the stamp. Here's hoping for a win!
