Buttons Galore with Stampendous...a Jar of Fun and Fungi

 

All of this week, the Stampendous team have been playing in the "button box" of wonderful, colorful, Buttons Galore & More! As today is our grande finale hop day, the team are pulling out all of the stops to mix Stampendous and our bounty of buttons. But before I share my project for today, let's cover all the hop and prize info that you need. 

To be eligible, you must be a US resident, 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. Stampendous Official Contest Rules apply. Deadline to comment for our prizes is Sunday, October 18, 2015. Winners will be selected by random.org and we’ll announce sometime on Monday, October 19th. Wait! There is even more! 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!

Now, check it out...

How fun is this darling canning jar "terrarium", featuring the (sneak peek alert!) new Stampendous Perfectly Clear Terrarium set. And what a perfect topper for this jar using an elasticized string of great Buttons Galore & More over a puffy-filled lid covered in cute fabric! There are almost as many darling creatures in our Spring line of stamps to fill this jar with as there are buttons on the lid...like the cute bunny, toadstools, signs, ladybugs, frogs, fairies, and plants, etcetera.

Bits of moss, and Stampendous Color Fragments add more visual dimension and texture, and each creation can be decorated for the various seasons, and become uniquely YOURS!

Stampendous Pop Ups, Puppies, and Pals

Squee overload this week on the Stampendous team posts. Between playing with the new Linnie Blooms products, and playing with our Stampendous Puppies and Pals, you might need a dose of insulin to battle the sweetness!

Following the directions on the Stampendous PopUp Dies, I created the base for my pop up card with blue Bazzill Basics  cardstock and Stampendous Mixed Media White cardstock. I die cut the edges with the fun edge dies that come with the Pop Up Die set, and there are rectangle and oval nesting frames in the same set. What an awesome deal!

My cute critters were stamped from the Playful Puppies Cling Stamp set and the Kitties set, and then colored, shaded and textured with my Copic Sketch Markers. The texture of the fluff on the brown puppy was created by wetting a piece of terrycloth with Copic blending solution, and applying it over the colored surfaces in small patches, and holding for a few seconds in between. So easy and effective. All of the parts and pieces were cut out with their matching die sets (sold separately), and attached to the various tabs on the pop up card. The sentiment came from the Perfectly Clear Life Words, stamped on layered die cut frames from the Pop Up set as mentioned above.

Here's a list of those puppies and pals posters for today:
