Holiday Crafting Made Easy Hop with Stamp Simply Kits--Blog Candy and Sale!!!

Welcome to the November Stamp Simply Ribbon Store Design Team Hop featuring holiday crafting made easy-- thanks to a Stamp Simply Ribbon Store Kit!

We have some fabulous projects to show you, along with some sweet blog candy and a sale! More about the candy and sale below...


All of the supplies (minus the stamps) for my project today are taken from the Stamp Simply Sweet Santa Kit, including Webster's Pages "Waiting for Santa/Sweet Season" papers!


I was so excited to use one of JustRite's new deeply etched red rubber "cling" stamp sets: "Simple Blessings," available at the Stamp Simply Ribbon Store. What a precious Christmas set!

I stamped the snowy church scene with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored it with Copic Sketch markers, then added touches of Diamond Stickles for a icy, gleaming look.

Did you notice the lacy blossom that I created? So easy--I have a tutorial HERE for you to check out if you would like to make one too! The trim, silk ribbon, and sparkler are all included in the Stamp Simply Kit!



A Christmas greeting from the JR "Simple Blessings" set, stamped with Versafine Black Onyx ink (crisp and clean for sentiments!) and die cut with Spellbinders ribbon tag die adds a finishing touch.












Now, for that blog candy! Here's a pic of what you will receive if you're the fortunate person to leave the comment chosen!

Ribbon, ribbon, RIBBON! All in candy cane shades, perfect for the Christmas Season!  See how to win the candy at Sharon's blog, HERE.

And, let's not forget the sale info:

A JustRite Sale: As always, The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store honors all sale prices run by JustRite. Currently, there is a sale of 25% OFF on all CHRISTMAS stamps in the Orinigal line, NOT the new cling. The Stamp Simly Ribbon Store is happy to honor those sale prices as well. This sale runs through November 15, while supplies last.
