Welcome to our From the Heart Stamps August blog hop! If you have arrived from KELLY’S BLOG, you are in the right place, if not why don’t you start on the From the Heart Stamps Blog, so you don’t miss anything.
Today’s theme is USE YOUR STASH – We are digging into drawers and pulling out papers, and embellishments, and such.
Today I went with an image I colored in December and never put onto a card. Since Snowman Greeting has been in my stash just waiting to be used, and our theme was to “Use Your Stash”, now is as good a time as any right?? I also found a card base and black background waiting in my bin so… I went with it. I dug into my embellishments and looked for “snow stuff” and found some snowflake sequins that I bought last summer to make shaker cards (never happened but maybe this Christmas I will get to it :)) add some clear crystals that I have had forever and that finished off my card.
Recipe for my card:
- Image: Snowman Greeting digi by From the Heart Stamps
- Sentiment: Snowlady and Cardinal digi set by From the Heart Stamps
- Paper: White card base (PTI) Black card mounting (Recollection), DP Digital Paper
- Ink: Inktense Pencils
- Other: Basic Backdrop Dies (AJVD), Snowflake Sequins and Crystals.
As you hop along, please leave a comment on each blog. One random commenter will be selected on each blog to win an image of choice from the FTHS store. And one lucky commentator on the FTHS blog has the chance to win a $ 15 voucher.
Thanks for hopping with us today. The hop will end on Sunday Aug 7th at 6 am EST. Winners will be posted on the From the Heart Stamps Blog on Wednesday Aug 10th.
Now head over to MICHELLE’S BLOG and see what inspiration she has for you.
Have fun and have a wonderful week!!

Great christmas card. I have some of those little snowflakes, somewhere, I can’t seem to find them. I cleaned up my craft room and some things are now missing. I put them right where I could find them. LOL!

Love the snowflakes, so perfect for this cute. Can’t wait to see your upcoming shaker. I bought some “snowflakes” after Christmas for a margin (partly why I have so much stash), we’ll see if they get used…Love your card!

Lovely winter card, Lyn. I also have those snowflakes in my stash **lol**but no colored images because I color always when my layout and DP are fixed. And not the other way around. It is very difficult for me to find the matching DP for a colored image. Don´t know why.
