ABC Blog Hop

Welcome to the ABC Blog Hop with myStamp BOX . You should have arrived from Cathy's blog. If you have just happened upon my blog today, you may want to head to the start of the blog hop, the myStamp BOX blog.

I have created a PARTY banner to showcase two different alphabet fonts, Tall Outlines and Casual Upper. I used miscellaneous pieces of acrylic from Clear Scraps as my base.


On this piece, I repeatedly stamped the letter 'A' around the acrylic frame using the Casual Upper set and Staz-On ink.


On the other pieces, I stamped the letters onto patterned paper, cut them out and mounted them on my shapes with foam squares.
This cute little lady bug is a piece of chipboard from Riff Raff. I covered the pieces in Staz-On ink, embossed the wings in red glitter embossing powder by American Crafts (Zing) and then glossed the entire surface with Glossy Accents.

The cupcake is frosted with Liquid Appliqué. I puffed it up a bit with my heat gun, added the baubles with Helmar glue and then left it overnight to dry.
Here is a photo of the finished piece.

Supplies: Acrylic (Clear Scraps), Stamps (myStamp BOX), Chipboard (Riff Raff, Creative Café), Ribbon (Chatterbox, Making Memories), Felt (Sassafras Lass), Dangles (7 Gypsies), Wood (Kaiser), Paper (October Afternoon), Button (Jenni Bowlin), Baubles (Stamping Bella), Flowers (Prima, Sassafras Lass)


Yes, there is a prize!!
TWO brand new stamp sets being released this month are up for grabs! So leave a comment on all the blog posts and then go back to the mSB blog and tell us what your favourite project was along the way for a chance to win! Have fun!

Next up in the blog hop is the talented GUDRUN.
Enjoy the rest of your journey of fonts.
Thanks for stopping by.
