Life Is Messy Grand Opening Blog Hop

Happy Friday my friend!  Welcome to the Grand Opening Blog Hop for the Sweet Stamp Shop!  Nicole has done a fabulous job on these sets and they are super fun to play with!  So, if you are following on the hop, you should have arrived from Stephanies's blog  Here is the deal: comment on each blog on the hop and you'll be entered to win stamp set prizes. You have until Monday to comment and be entered to win. Winners will be randomly selected from random blogs and announced on Wednesday the 10th.  Sound like fun?  I thought so!  Now, how bout a fun little card?  




Using a set called The Core of It, I stamped the apple onto a piece of October Afternoon patterned paper, cut it out and adhered it.




Stamped my sentiment and matted the paper onto a red piece of card stock.  I then adhered the panel to a cream card base.




A few more details for you as you make your way to Tracy's blog, Nicole has a few discounts available for you!   Purchase 1-3 sets and get 5% off your order, purchase 4-7 sets get 10% off your order and if you buy all 8 sets you will get 15% off your order!  You will need a special code for these discounts, so Nicole has placed them within 5 of the blogs on the hop!  Find those codes and get the discount!  Coupon codes are good August 5th - August 8th.




Here is a list of my fellow hop participants!  Now, off you go to see Tracy!  Thank you so much for stopping by and good luck!
