Hi there – you’ve arrived on a rather special day…we’re celebrating the 2nd anniversary of Clearly Besotted Stamps with an AWESOME blog hop!  You should have arrived here from the most fabulous Laura Bassen but if you’re somehow lost – go back to the beginning HERE!

I’ve used the new Joy To The World stamp set (available tonight from the store) and made a festive shaker card.  I embossed the trees in Gold Tinsel by Ranger and cut them using the co-ordinating dies – this embossing powder is SUPER sparkly in real life!!

Now as you all know by now – Stephanie is one generous lady and this blog hop is no exception.  Firstly, she is offering a grand prize of a £100 gift e-gift card for one lucky blog hop participant randomly drawn from all the comments throughout the hop.  And as if that wasn’t enough, every blog on the hop has a £20 gift card to give away , the winner to be randomly picked from the comments!!  Cool huh?!

Now you need to hop on over to the wonderfully talented Julie Ebersol who has a gorgeous card to share with you.

Here’s the full line up in case you get lost!!

Good luck and thanks for stopping by xxx

Good morning – today is the first day of sneak peaks of the fantastic new release at Clearly Besotted!  I LOVE this release – it’s choc full of festive designs (my favourite) and even a couple of non-holiday sets too.  There are also some new standalone dies coming out – LOVE them!!

Todays card features a fabulous sentiment set called Most Wonderful and it’s just gorgeous.  Could be one of my favourites!!  I stamped the sentiment in Fog ink from Simon Says Stamp and added a bow (Lil Inkers) cut from some glittery red wrapping paper I bought in John Lewis last year!!  As a wee finishing touch I added some red glitter to the little heart on the sentiment because, …. glitter!

Make sure you pop over to see what Stephanie and the rest of the design team have created – you’ll be bowled over!!!
