The Craft's Meow October Release Blog Hop

The Craft's Meow

Welcome back!  Today is the reveal of our newest stamp releases at The Craft's Meow Store, and our traditional Design Team Blog Hop!  You should have arrived here from sweet Larissa's blog, but if you just happened across me and would like to start our hop at the beginning, please go to The Craft's Meow blog, where all of the participating blogs with their links are listed.  Once you get started, you'll be directed from one blog to the next.  

My first card for you today uses 3 of the new stamp sets:


I used the holly leaf sprig from Christmas Lantern to make my wreath:


the sentiment from Holiday Poinsettia:


and the little decorative brackets around the sentiment from Inside Christmas:



My 2nd card uses the beautiful angel and the lovely sentiment from Christmas Blessings, along with that same bracket from Inside Christmas.  I decided to use gold embossing powder for my stamping, and paired it with the Christmas Graphic 45 paper that I used earlier this week, and some gold pearls.



All of the new stamps are now available to order at The Craft's Meow Store!  Our special stamp set this month is Inside Christmas - you can have it for free with a $60.00 purchase, or you can buy it separately.  

AND 1 very lucky person will win all FIVE of our new sets for this month!!  All you have to do to have a chance is to leave a comment at each of our blogs by 8:00 PM PDT Wednesday, October 23, and Lisa will draw a name from one of our blogs as her winner, and announce it soon afterwards!

Now, hop on along to the talented Mindy's blog!  Thanks for visiting me today!
