Hello there! Happy Friday! I have no idea where the week went and I can hardly believe it's Friday already...but I guess that's usually a good thing when Friday sneaks up on you. :-)
I have something fun for you today! Another Bazzill giveaway! The nice folks at Bazzill sent me some goodies to use and some more to share with you. Today's post features their Card Shoppe cardstocks, (which I've posted about before HERE)...
and their new Beach House collection...
Here is a card I created using this new collection. I'm loving the beachy images and textures...it also has a very vintage postcard/mail vibe to it and I can never resist those elements!
I cut some of the tag images from a sheet of the patterned paper and embellished them with more elements from the papers, some wooden stars, baker's twine, clothespin, etc. I also incorporated some images from the Papertrey Postmarks stamp set, which I thought worked awesome with these papers. No wonder I like them. *wink*
If you're looking to purchase the Card Shoppe cardstocks, Simon Says Stamp carries the entire 28 color collection...just type in Bazzill Card Shoppe in the search box! They also carry the Beach House paper pad HERE.
Like I mentioned at the beginning of my post, I have some goodies to share with you! I have one thick, juicy multi-pack of the Card Shoppe cardstock as well as a 6x6 pad of the Beach House paper collection for one lucky reader. Just leave me a comment telling me if you've tried the Card Shoppe cardstocks yet...and if you did, what did you think? I love them and think they're a great addition to my cardstock collection! I'll leave the comments open until 11:59pm CDT on Monday, August 27.

I have not tried them yet but I think they would be great for card bases. The beachy pad is neat too.

Posted by: Renee VanEpps | August 25, 2012 at 07:21 AM
NO - I haven't tried them yet (but I'm dying to (-: )because my local craft store here in Gothenburg Sweden refuses to carry them because she thinks it won't sell becase "we Swedes" only want 12x12 - but she's sooo wrong. I keep hoping she'll change her mind and give it a try because I think they look WONDERFUL.
Thanks so much for the chance!

I actually did get some of the Bazzill Card Stock and I love it for making my cards. It's sturdier, which is great for cards and it holds embossing very well, my favorite thing on cards. I would love to get this to make cards for the upcoming Fall and Winter seasons!! Thanks for the chance to win!
Posted by: Judy Larson | August 25, 2012 at 08:14 AM
