I would like to introduce you to

the Studio Stampers blog! This blog will feature cards and challenges made by me and my amuse|studio "cousins." You also get the chance to "meet" our team. This week you get to meet Veronica (Ronnie) Zalis. I have a feeling the Studio Stampers blog is going to be a great place for you to get some ideas and inspiration for your amuse|studio stamps! There is a challenge already posted, so come play along! I know I will be! (But first, I have to get prepared for the crop I am hosting at my house this weekend, so you probably won't see my card until some time on Saturday.

Also, don't forget our blog hop I told you about in my previous post. Here is a complete listing of all who are participating in our blog hop starting at the beginning:

Kathy Hatzke

Blog Hopping. . . Again

Welcome to the July Blog Hop. You should have found me after visiting Lisa'a blog. I hope you are enjoying your hopping!!!

Don't forget to leave a comment on my blog - I will be giving away some blog candy!!! The winner will be chosen at random on Friday, 07/15. All comments must be made prior midnight CST on Thursday, 07/14.

WOW!! It has been awhile since I have blogged. SO much has gone on to include computers issues which took me out of the loop for longer than I intended. BUT - I am back now and will be trying to be on a more regular blogger (keep your fingers crossed!)

I am excited to be back blogging and, in my absence, I have played with my amuse|studio stamps!! Aren't they the best?? My first card is a generic/any occasion card.



Card made using: orange gingham cardstock, bubblegum shimmer couture cardstock, sugar cardstock, orange satin ribbon, french roast stitched grosgrain ribbon, and the Owl's Well stamp set. All these items can be purchased from amuse|studio. The card was colored with Copic markers which can also be purchased from amuse|studio.

My second card is from a stamp set I adored the moment I first saw it. I had to do it in pink. It is also a generic/any occasion card. Although it is difficult to see, I stamped a second image of the hair spray can, hand cut it out, and then used a pop-up adhesive to place it on top of the original stamped image. I also added a little glitter to the "spray" from the can with a glitter pen.



Card made using: bubblegum shimmer couture cardstock, sugar cardstock, bubblegum gingham cardstock, onyx cardstock, the ticket strip die, large dots from Polka Dot Patterns stamp set (also part of stamp set assortment included in consultant kit), and the Glamour Girl stamp set. I also used the classic rectangles - small - from Nestabilities. The image and sentiment were stamped using Momento Tuxedo Black ink (another favorite ink) and colored with Copic markers. Everything used to make this card can be purchased from amuse|studio.
