Welcome to the
Stampin' Addicts Winter Blog Hop - please use the Next/Previous buttons at the end of this post to click forward or backward through the Blog Hop and see all the incredible ideas and inspiration from our bloggers. I am featuring the
Perfectly Penned stamp set, a Hostess Stamp Set from the
Holiday Catalog. Find
Perfectly Penned on the inside page of the back cover of the
Holiday Catalog
with 6 stamps for only $9 Clear Mount or $12 Wood Mount. To purchase
this set, contact your demonstrator and put together a qualifying
Catalog Order, Workshop Order or Personal Order. The sentiments in this
fun set cover several holidays and occasions with sayings including
Sweet
Little You, Happy B-DAY, Fabulous Forever Fantastic Faithful Friend,
Hey Pumpkin, Merry Christmas to you, Happy Valentine's to You. It coordinates with the
Hexagon Punch (hey pumpkin) and the
Hearts a Flutter Framelits Dies.
The
Perfectly Penned stamp set presents endless options for cards and projects for all year long!
Today I'm sharing cards and a gift project featuring just 4 of the sentiments for a variety of occasions just to show you how versatile this sweet little stamp set is - as I said, the ideas and options are endless with this set!
This
Banner Birthday Card uses scrap pieces of
Sweater Weather DSP and the
Hearts A Flutter Framelits to create a pennant style banner across the card front. The
Happy B-DAY sentiment is stamped in
Chocolate Chip ink and then die cut with the coordinating
Hearts A Flutter Framelit. I adhered all the banners with
Stampin' Dimensionals over the
Linen Thread. The mini safety pin attaching the sentiment banner is from the
Vintage Trinkets Embellishments, as are the two sweet button brads in the lower right corner.

Here is an
Elegant Christmas Card using the
Merry Christmas To You sentiment. This card uses the a piece of pattern paper from
Season of Style DSP and a
Tea Lace Paper Doilie. I attached a strip of
Basic Black cardstock, punched with the Scallop Trim Die and double scored down the center with the
Simply Scored Scoring Tool, to the beautiful
Baked Brown Sugar Ruffled Trim. The sentiment is stamped in
Gold Encore Ink and then heat embossed with
Gold Embossing Powder - what an elegant look is that Gold on Black! If you haven't yet tried stamping Gold onto Black, you must do it, sooner rather than later - don't wait!

I made this
Burnished Glitter Valentine Card using several products from the
Holiday Catalog. There are so many in here that will help you create lovely Valentine themed projects, including the
Happy Valentine's to You sentiment in
Perfectly Penned stamp set, the
Silver Ultra Fine Glitter,
Silver Foil Cardstock and the
love sentiment from
Expressions Thinlits Die. I used the
Burnished Glitter Technique to create the background on
Strawberry Slush cardstock - I'll have a few more photographs and details on this technique next week on my blog, so be sure to bookmark my website and come back to see this fun and oh-so-messy glitter technique - what glitter technique isn't messy?! The Valentine sentiment is stamped in
Strawberry Slush ink and then die cut with the scalloped heart from the
Hearts A Flutter Framelits.

Ink: Strawberry Slush
Accessories: Silver Ultra Fine Glitter, Strawberry Slush Ruffled Trim, Rhinestone Jewels, Expressions Framelits, Hearts A Flutter Framelits
The last project I'll share today is just a super quick and easy
Gift Bag and Tag. One of my favorite things about the versatile
Perfectly Penned stamp set is how quick and easy you can pull together a card or project! And let's be honest, gifts and gift tags are usually a RUSH project! At least they are for me! I used a
Tag A Bag Gift Bag (from the main catalog) with this chevron print. I inserted my gift, folded the bag over and wrapped it with a piece of
Marina Mist Chevron Ribbon. The
Gift Tag is the
Fabulous...Friend sentiment stamped in
Rose Red ink and die cut with the coordinating
Hearts A Flutter Framelit and attached with
Stampin' Dimensions onto a
Rose Red tag die cut with the
Chalk Talk Framelits. This is punched and tied with a piece of
Early Espresso Baker's Twine and strung with a
Sweet Little You sentiment, also die cut with the
Hearts A Flutter Framelit. See how easy that was!
