Also, through the end of January, Heather has the entire store on sale ala the infamous PMS sale or Purchase More Stamps!  The more you buy, the more you save!

Chocolate 1 and 2 with Katie G.

December 7th, 2012

Hello friends!

Happy Friday!!!  There are few things in this life better than laughter and making other people smile.  Skipping Stones has so many great, funny sets, and I thought I would highlight a couple of those sets today on my card:

I created a candy box using the confections found in Chocolate 1 and 2 and paper pieced them onto a label that I die cut from cardstock.  The sentiment is from Chocolate 2.  The patterned papers are from Echo Park’s For the Record 2 collection.

If you like funny sets, now would be a fantastic time to pick up a couple Skipping Stone funnies before they are sold out.  Don’t forget about the PMS sale too!  Where else do you get so richly rewarded for purchasing MORE stamps!

Here are the codes to enter at checkout:

Buy ONE set: Enter PMS1 for 5% off!
Buy TWO sets: Enter PMS2 for 10 % off!
Buy THREE sets: Enter PMS3 for 15% off!
Buy FOUR sets: Enter PMS4 for 20% off!
Buy FIVE sets: Enter PMS5 for 25% off!
Buy SIX or MORE sets: Enter PMS6 for 30% off!

If you have any challenges with the discount codes, please email Heather directly at madebyme33 (at) hotmail (dot) com.  She will turn around an invoice that reflects your savings.

That’s all for me today.  Thanks for stopping by!

Wise Men with Karen Baker

December 4th, 2012

Karen from the Bald Dragonfly here to showcase one of Skipping Stones Design’s best holiday stamp set, Wise Men (well, at least in my opinion, there are many holiday sets to choose from!)

I started by creating a deep blue panel with distress inks and shimmer spray. I stamped the lone wise man image onto the bottom portion of the panel and then on the top portion, and then I stamped the star in a white ink and heat embossed it. There was a little too much space to my liking between the two images, so I cut a center piece out and then adhered the two panels to a kraft card base with glue and a thin line of stitching. I finished the card by stamping and heat embossing in black with one of the amazing sentiments in the set.

You won’t want to miss choosing this set to make its way to you before they are all gone, and while you are shopping, take advantage of the PMS sale going on too!
