Stamp With Amy K Turns One Year Old Today!! Blog Candy Weekend To Celebrate!!

stampwithamyk

Wow, I can’t believe it…my blog turns one year old today!  When I first started blogging I gave myself six months and I’d see what happened.  Well, I’ve been overwhelmed with your positive response to my little stamping blog.  You have all been so supportive, like my own little stamping family.  And I can’t say thank you enough for following along on this journey.  🙂

I do have a quick birthday card and some blog candy to share but first I though that it would be fun to share a few of my blog stats with you:

And just for fun, I thought that I’d show you my very first card.  My blogging style has changed a lot since then (and so have my photography skills!).  If you want to see my very first post, click here.

I thought that I’d also show you your favorite card (based on the number of times it has been viewed) that I’ve posted.  This is one of my favorites too!  If you want to see the original blog post, click here.

Alright, enough about my blog…here is a quick birthday card that I made with the Sassy Salutations stamp set and a Pretty Presents Designer Bow from Stampin’ Up!  I made a card a few weeks ago with one of these bows and mentioned that it looked like Minnie Mouse.  I finally made a Minnie Mouse card to share with you.

This was so quick and easy, I adhered a panel of Polka Dot Parade DSP to a Basic Black card base, then I cut three circles from Basic Black card stock with the Circles Collection Framelits Dies.  I stamped the sentiment from the Sassy Salutations stamp set (wood mount and clear mount) in VersaMark Ink on the larger circle and heat embossed it with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder.

Then I added the big Minnie Mouse bow that I made from the Pretty Presents Designer Bows pack.  I love these bows, they’re all precut and ready to be assembled (you can find them on page 36 in the Holiday Catalog).  Just stick them together with Glue Dots and you’re all done!

Because this card was for one of my nieces, I added a little sentiment from the  Remembering Your Birthday stamp set (wood mount and clear mount) in StazOn Jet Black ink and a strip of the Polka Dot Parade DSP inside the card.

The complete list of supplies, including card stock cuts is at the very bottom of this post.

Blog Candy

What’s a birthday celebration without a few presents?  🙂  I thought that I’d offer up a blog candy weekend as my way of saying a little thank you for following along (and putting up with my goofs!) for an entire year.   I’ve got one blog candy package today and I’ll be posting another one tomorrow so make sure that you check back!

Today’s blog candy is three ink pads (Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry & Island Indigo) and a package of Frosted Finishes Embellishments.

To be entered to win the blog candy package for today, simply leave me a comment on this post by 8:00 AM EST tomorrow (Sunday, Nov 10) telling me your favorite birthday tradition.  It can be something from your childhood or something that you do now.

My favorite birthday tradition is sitting down with my oldest daughter to plan out birthday parties.  This started when she was three and she’s been planning all of the birthday parties from the decorations to the cake and the games for everyone in our house since then.  As a result, I’ve had everything from Strawberry Shortcake to Barbie themed parties for me.

I’ll randomly draw a winner from those comments posted and I’ll announce the winner on my blog tomorrow morning.  Anyone is welcome to leave a comment but I’m only able to ship the blog candy to addresses within the United States.  Thanks for your understanding.
