Welcome to the Stamp It! 3 Ways blog hop! This new special issue from Paper Crafts magazine is now available. Its stamping, all stamping!! What I love about this issue is how its set up. Three designers were given the same stamp set and they each created a card based on their own style. The creative ways each designer used the stamps is astounding! So much creativity! And so many ways to be inspired to use stamp sets in your stash.
Today I am using one of the stamp sets I used in the issue, My Mind’s Eye Lost and Found Princess stamps.
I stamped the pennants onto white cardstock with aqua ink. Then I added a piece of twine to the card base. Each of the pennants was cut out and foam mounted to the card. The butterfly was stamped with yellow ink, cut out and foam mounted. The sentiment fit perfectly between the embossed details.
The embossing on the background was created by Spellbinders Paper Arts latest; M-Bossabilities!! These dual-sided embossing folders are brilliant and create such a deep impression! This folder is called Elite. M-Bossabilities will be available for ordering at CHA-W. So look for them soon at your favorite store!!
Check out these talented stampers and see what they have created for today!

Very cute card, thank you for sharing it and the chance to win.
Gorgeous card! My current fave stamp set is always changing, but for today it is anyone of the adorable ippity stamps by Unity.
Love, love love your card. The embossing is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic card! This has been one of the best blog hops! I love the magazine already (couldn't wait to see if I would win a copy). Seeing all the different ways to use my stamps--incredible. As for my favorite current stamps set.hmmmm... Well, I am trying to be patient to get my new set from Sweet & Sassy: Cocoa's Tasty Treats Clear Stamp Set. I'm in love with this little mouse! Again thanks for the inspiration!
What a sweet card! I love all the different pennants mixed together, tfs!
My favorite stamp set right now is the in stitches stamp set. I have a sewing machine but its such a hassle to get out and use it for such a small thing this stamp set gives the faux look of stamping and works fine for me :) As for my favorite stamping technique I like to do a double layer stamp technique. I stamp onto my paper, copy it, enlarge it, print it, then put my original stamped image onto it using dimensional dots so it creates a very nice outlined image. :) Thanks for the opportunity to win this!
very pretty card! love the embossing and the banner and butterflies you added.
Very cute! I especially love the
white embossed card.
Gorgeous! Love that little banner and how the blue and yellow stand out so much on the white card!
Hope you are enjoying CHA! :)
I love your pretty card. It's so fresh and sweet. Lovely colours.

That's a card right up my alley! Love it!

Surely they didn't leave the best for last? this is one fabulous card...can hardly wait to see more of the Spellbinders M-Bossibilities!
I love paper piecing too, especially if there is a die to go with the stamped image! tee hee!

Your card is incredible. Love the background embossing. Love the way you made your banner pop and the shape of your butterfly. Really fabulous! My favorite stamp set of those in this issue would be the Lawn Fawn set. Thanks for a chance to win.

The embossing texture is beautiful. The combination of ink colors is really eye catching.
Love the pop of color on the pretty embossed background!
Oh, I ADORE your card! The embossed background seems to make the stamped images pop even more, and the yellow and aqua are such happy colors!

I love mega mixed messages by PTI and I love to paper piece and colour my images.
I promise you I am not a kiss-up :), but I really loved the Beyond Borders stamps by Mint Motif that were on the PC blog the other day. They went straight onto my shopping list! I love how you bent the butterfly wings.
Kimberly, I love your elegant card! That embossed background is gorgeous!
Gorgeous card! Love the embossed background and the banners!
talk about charming - great card! I love the embossed pattern and the pendants are sweet
Very elegant and pretty card!! I think my favorite technique is hard to pinpoint right now. It depends on my mood...lol....but I did have a customer of mine ask me to do a Valentine's Steampunk card for her hubby that was REALLY fun to make!! And it was my first Steampunk card, too! Thank you for the chance to win!!
Beautiful card!!! My favorite stamp is an older Hero Arts one.. Three Birds is the name :)
Have fun at CHA!
Lovely card. MME is quickly becoming a #1 for me!!!
So so darling! Love the colors!
Great card! My favorite stamping technique is heat embossing!
I love heat embossing, I use it on almost every card I make. It jet seems to make an image or sentiment so vivid! I'm also really fond of liquid dimensional, it also seems to give such a wow factor to cards.
OH! This is a charming card! LOVE that banner and that little butterfly! THANKS for the chance to win:) sbmmhoover at yahoo dot com
Great card! I love all the details... the twine, the embossing, the banner! Very fun!
I like an embossed resist technique, using white embossing and Distress inks applied over that.
DeniseB
Oh wow, such a pretty card! Love the aqua and yellow against all that white. Such a pretty embossing, too!
Great card! Love the banner w/ butterfly.
Beautiful card...love the colors and the embossing.

Fantastic CAS. My current fave set is a friend's sentiment set by Hero Arts. So useful!
oh this is a wonderful card! hard to pick a current fav SET, but if I did, it is a HA set with these newspaper tulips...I dont have it yet, but will one day! As far as technique...I am simply hooked on resist stuff...any and all types...just so interesting what ink and heat and embossing powder does to your cards! tyvm for a chance
I just love your card. I have to say I think it is my absolute favorite!!!
What a delicate card. I just love the embossed background and how you popped out the banner. The little butterfly is the perfect touch!
Such a cute design

What a great card Kimberly! I love the bright colors that really make your card pop. Can't wait to see those new embossing folders soon too. Thanks for sharing with us!
I am very new to stamping so I do not have a favorite set or technique as of yet. Looking forward to getting this issue for inspiration on both counts.
I love your CAS card. This is just fabulous.
I just got Authentic Man from Ippity so have been having fun making masculine cards. I still love to heat emboss but dry embossing is quickly becoming a favorite!
This is so beautiful!
Stunning card.
Love the embossed resist technique.
Love the little banner that you created on your card and how you popped it up.
My favorite stamping technique is embossing. I love how it rises the image up off the paper.
My favorite stamp set would be a set of dogs that I have.

love the embossing on this card. My fave stamp set is probably Birds Galore by Inkadinkado.
Such a sweet card, Kimberly. Love the versatility of this design. Pretty embossing too.
Such a sweet card, Kimberly. Love the versatility of this design. Pretty embossing too.
I love the aqua and yellow together and this is so fresh and clean against the embossed white background!
I love to paper piece, and I don't do it nearly enough. Usually because it take some tome, and lately I have to craft in short spurts when I can snag some time...TFS!
Gorgeous card. Simple can be so effective! I can't pick a fave stamp set, that would be just crazy LOL If you ask me to narrow it done to my 10 or 20...that might be possible :)
I do have a fave technique right now. I am addicted to coloring my stamps with markers, pencils, inks or pens and then applying a clear glitter finish overtop. I love a little sparkle.
Very pretty, thanks for sharing
What a gorgeous card - love the layout. Enjoy CHA!
I'm waiting for the new Spellbinders release and all the new items! Great background - Great Card!!!
I don't have a favorite set yet. I just love stamping in general.
Your card is just so gorgeous! And thanks for the chance to win this issue.
Currently I am obsessed with making Valentines using the Hero Arts XO set!
Love your banner card - and that embossing folder is the bomb!
Ooh! Lovely.
I love your card!! My current favortite technique is the Tim Holtz embossing folder with the matching stamp set ( I have halloween, christmas and now valentines). It requires some work to get different colors on the stamp set but I love the way it looks! thank you for the chance to win a copy of the new magazine!!
Very pretty card! I have been embossing more of late. Betsy's post with the vibrant Zing colors has moved me in that direction for now. I don't know that I have a fav stamp set,though. Thanks for the inspiration and the chance to win!
i like embossing. i love your color combination on your card. thank you for sharing.
OMG! I think your card is amazing...I love everything about it from the colors you chose to the embossing. Thank you for the wonderful inspiration.
what a sweet card. I love the simple lines of it and the lovely spring colors.
This is such a beautiful card! I love the clean and simple look which makes it so elegant, especially with the embossed background.
My favorite stamp set is anything from Lawn Fawn. I LOVE their stamps!
awesome card. love the embossing. tfs.
I am a newbie with no favorites but want to next explore embossing and using some of the pearlized paints to color in stamps!
Love your card and the embossed background - beautiful!!!! Hmmm, it's so hard to choose favorites - I do love emboss resist...and just plain old stamping :)
I loved the Grunge stamp set the best. But that is only because I have so many circles. I really loved Hero Arts called Many Dots ideas by Sarah the best.
I just love My Minds Eye and the card you created. It is so simple, yet so, beautiful. Thanks for the opportunity to visit your blog.
Beautiful card! Have a great time.
What a darling card! I recognized the M-bossabilites pattern right away. My favorite technique is an oldie, but a goodie: embossing!
Love the embossed background and perfectly-placed banner.
Hope you're having a great time at CHA!
