Welcome to 7 Kids College Fund monthly blog hop! You should have arrived here from Rhea's blog! We are showcasing Stampendous today with all of their awesome products from rubber stamps to flaky embossing powders.
For my creation, I wanted to do something different and went WAY out of my comfort zone to create my project. I decided to make myself a note pad for I am always running around looking for paper.
Using Vintage Piano
I stamped it on Graphic 45 - Secret Garden 8 x 8 design paper. Talking about yummy paper - another paper pad where every single page is scrumptious!
Distressed the edges of my paper with Antique Linen Distress Ink
I applied Versa Mark to around the edges of the paper and sprinkled it with Stampendous Embossing Enamel Aged Hunter - a chunky enamel with bits of copper, black and gold flecks in it. Melted the powder with my heat gun and BTW -Aged Hunter would be perfect to use on tree's on Christmas cards,
I used all the same products on the card below except flower, tag and used plain paper. I wanted to show you how versatile the same stamp can be.
The New Stampendous preorder products are in the store and ready
for you to order. They are expected to ship very early April. Check out
the jumbo flowers and all the new Frantage products (new colors of mica, glitter
glass, vintage embossing powder, color fragments and more)!

Lovely card! The notepad is so pretty also... love that Hunter Green embossing powder!
that green just makes the image pop. it looks so vintage. love it and of course G45 papers are my fav. Keep up coming!!!
lovin' that gorgeous shade of embossing enamel. wonderful products you have used here to make some lovely things! :)
Gorgeous artwork! I appreciate the flexibility of the image.
Oh so Victorian. It reminds me of Little Women (we watched it last night). SO pretty.
I like the texture of the burlap. It keeps the project from being too feminine.
Colleen, this is so beautiful! I love the vintage look, the cool embossing, your design, and especially the textural bit! Love the clean look of the second card, too--really pretty color combo & love the embellies! :^)
Hugs, Penny

Beautiful job, Colleen! Love both your projects! How handy to have such a gorgeous note pad around, I'd be afraid to use it!
Great notebook and card using this stamp set!
Love your notebook! I would never use it! The embossing enamel looks like a must have for sure. Your card is lovely as well....shows how versatile this stamp. Great detail on both projects.
