Jump on it


Welcome to our special blog hop. 




For this special blog hop, we will be using Hostess Only stamp sets that you can get for $5 during this special.



If you did not start here, you will be coming from {Lauren Moore}. Next in the hop is {Michelle Loncar}.  If you get lost along the way, you can find the list of the hoppers {here}.



I have had this card in progress since I got this stamp set last year. Kept getting distracted by other projects. This hop made me finally finish it. 
I used the stand from Here We Go to make my Christmas globe. The let it snow sentiment was larger than the globes that came with the stamp, so I bent the stamp to fit my globe. I love our clear stamps, You could not do this with rubber stamps. I did have to fussy cut the stand out. But it wasn't too difficult. The circle was cut using my Explore at 2 inches. 
I used clear embossing powder and inked the globe using Glacier ink.
The card itself is pretty simple. The globe is a pretty large image and I didn't want a busy card. Now that I look at the red paper, I should have cut it different so you could see the whole snowflakes. Although, it is kinda cool this way too.
