Mark's Finest Papers Blog Hop- Day 1

Mark's Finest Papers' Design Teams are celebrating our NEWEST STAMP RELEASE with a Blog Hop. Our very talented Design Teams have created exciting paper crafts for your inspiration. With the addition of New Design Team members to inspire you, this is going to be a really fun-packed Hop!

We have 4 New Stamp Sets Released today: Tweet Blessings, Flourished Sea Creatures, Regal & Proud, and Owl Be Here. For your convenience, all 4 stamp sets are available for purchase TODAY!

For your chance to win BLOG CANDY, (a set that will be released NEXT month), visit and comment on each of the following design team members' blogs on August 10, 11, 12, and 13, 2010. On Saturday, (August 14, 2010), a winner will be chosen FOR EACH DAY from those participants who visited all the blogs listed for that day. (There will be four different winners, one winner for each day.)

THAT MEANS IF YOU MISSED A DAY, YOU STILL HAVE OTHER CHANCES WIN! And, you can go back and comment on each day's blogs, as the winners will be chosen Saturday morning!

Today we are featuring the Tweet Blessings stamp set.

For my card, I used the birdhouse and one of the sentiments from this set.  I embossed the birdhouse in black then colored it with Tim Holtz Distress inks.  The papers used are Hazelnut Tan from Mark's Finest Papers, Kiwi Kiss from Stampin Up, and Basic Grey's Origins paper pad.  I completed the card by adding a layered flower and ribbons.  The stamps, Hazelnut Tan paper, Tim Holtz inks, and ribbons are all available at Mark's Finest Papers.
