Mint Motif Giveaway!

Hello, there!  Happy Friday…

We are getting ready to head to a lake for a week.  Will be meeting my in-laws there, along with my sister-in-law and her family.  They live in Africa, so we don't get to see them often.  Can't wait to see them in person instead of just in my prayers! We are all going, but Roxie has to stay here.  She will love life, as Grandpa will be staying at the house here with her.  Happy pup.

I will post from there, but I wanted to get a giveaway up before leaving. 🙂

So… a few weeks ago, I was shopping at iheartpapers and noticed a new line of stamps that I liked called Mint Motif.  I bought a set and loved them, especially since they are made in the US and therefore stamp great.

I then found out that they were designed by one of my favorite card artists,  Kimberly Crawford. And, being the kind person she is, she offered to send me sets to giveaway here.  What a doll.

First, I thought I would share a few cards I made with these stamps.  For the background on this one, I mounted all the square stamps on a big block and stamped them together.  Then stamped on red and punched out some hearts…

The orientation of these greetings is fabulous.

This one has a bit of Hero Arts love in the background.  The stars are stamped with the dotted square and then finished with Glossy Accent dots.

So… I have two sets to giveaway – one each to two lucky winners.  Just leave a comment here by Monday night at 11:59pmEST telling me your current favorite stamp line and I will pick winners.  Look at these lovely sets…

    Jennifer, wow, this is so great! I am online talking with a friend from overseas and I just told her about you…I am excited to turn someone else on about you!
    I always enjoy your projects. Thanks for this opportunity!
    My favorite, right now would have to be the splurge, Papertrey Ink distress stripes and polka dot sets! amazing!

  2. Oh my goodness… right now I’m loving stamps from Taylored Expressions and Unity Stamp Co. I’ve also loved Hero Arts stamps for years. Can’t pick just one…just the one’s I’m using today.

    I love what you did with these stamps and they look like good stamps too.

    take care,

    Debbie Reaves

    Great cards! My favorite stamps at the moment is Hero Arts … I’ve bought a bunch of stamps and need to make time to play with them all!!! I’ve also been looking at some stamps from Papertrey Ink that I’ve added to my already long wish list 🙂

    Have a great day!

    These stamps are so neat. I love the cloud print. The card is so great. I love all your cards, and just love how you add buttons with floss or hemp tied in a bow. Those things are really your signature. Just love it. So glad that you are getting time to spend with your inlaws and sister inlaw and her family. Tough when there are so many miles between us and our family members. May God Bless your time together. I love these sweet stamps, but I have to say that I am in loooooove with Hero Arts. I have such a big wish list it is scary, but I love how they are designed, the depth of the rubber itself and how they stamp so crisp and clear. Gotta love them. Thanks for introducing them to me through your blog and with all the inspiration I get from my Flickr’Group I am sure my wish list will just get bigger. Thanks again.

  6. Jaya says:

    My faves are digital stamps 🙂
    I am not just posting hoping I’d win – but wanted to thank you for all the gorgeous inspiration. I love the idea of glossy accents as dots. Must try! thanks.

  7. Julie L says:

    Thanks for showing how to use the new stamps in the background–it’s really lovely. I love Stampin’Up and Inkadinko, mainly because my husband has won two e-bay auctions for me, and they sent LOTS of stamps. I also use Tim Holtz and Hero Arts.

  8. I’m really just getting started with stamping, but love some clears that I’ve gotten from Inkadinkado, Autumn Leaves, & Hero Arts.

  9. Loree says:

    That’s a hard question to answer…but if pressed PTI, Verve and GKD. This post has given me a couple to take a look at. Thanks!

  10. Brenda says:

    Synchronicity, I just received the mint motif “sayings” from I heart paper. The backgrounds are on my wish list. My current favorite stamps are from Unity. Brave Girl gets my creative juices flowing.

  11. Katheirneee says:

    OMG!! the card you made is the CUTEST ever!!

  12. lexi says:

    My new favs are Tim Holtz. They make me think outside the box which to me is fun.

  13. Karen says:

    Papertrey Ink is my #1 choice, but I have several other faves as well.

  14. Liz Lumsden says:

    I have been loving the Unity stamps lately. They have great designs and packaging.

  15. joann says:

    At the lake huh? Wish I were there (it’s 111 today in sunny AZ). Lately I have been lovin’ JustRite’s new stamps.

  16. Kathy H says:

    Oh I love those cards! I have been searching for background stamps and those are adorable. My favorite stamp line has to the Hero Arts greeting stamps I just bought. I was looking all over for one that included Happy Anniversary in a pretty script…I found it and more!

  17. Cathy says:

    Those are terrific stamps! Many of my recent favorites are Hero Arts stamps.

  18. Kathy H says:

    I love those cards! I have been searching for background stamps and those are adorable! My favorite stamp line has got to be the new Hero Arts greeting stamps I bought. I have been searching all over for one that included Happy Anniversary in a pretty script. I fount it and more!!

  19. Sure enjoy looking at your cards! The stamp company that has me hooked right now is Papertrey Ink. I’ve got a list of stamps I hope to purchase from them soon.

  20. Samantha D says:

    I am definately a fan of PTI and Hero Arts. But, truthfully, if I could have every stamp made I wouldn’t turn them down.

  21. Monika Davis says:

    Fabulous card Jennifer. Love how you did the backround. Those images are great! I love SU! stamps, but a bit of PTI, Hero Arts, CHF are always welcome in my craft room. :o) TFS!

  22. Nancy S says:

    You’re such an enabler! I am drooling over all the papers at the iheartpapers site…And thank u for showing us this new stamp line (new to me at least!). I love the way u used multiple stamp blocks as a single background stamp. Gotta try that with my HA stamps, too!

    I love Hero Arts stamps, and am also a big fan of Papertrey Ink stamps. I love their new coordinating stamps and dies. Wish HA would do that for manual die cutting machines like the Sizzix…

  23. Kim Barnett says:

    I just love Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous line, also the new Hero Arts stamps are super yummy!!!

  24. mary schmidt says:

    I love all lines of stamps. The particular ones that are high on my wish list now are by Peachy Keen stamps and My pink Stamper. I own a Cricut die cutting machine and Peachy Keen Stamps are face stamps that fit on specific cuts from certain cartridges. They are faces for “Paper Dolls” and for animal cuts. They add such personality to the cuts. My Pink Stamper stamps are sayings that go with Cricut cartridges. Like puns for the flowers or animals. They just fit with the cuts. I also like Heartfelt Creation and Just Right stamps that fit Spellbinder Dies. HC has flower stamps the fit inside the flower Spellbinder dies and JRS are words that fit in the S dies. These all help stretch the function of the cuts.

  25. Barb says:

    I love so many different stamp collections, but Hero Arts seems to be at the top of my list.

  26. Yvonne says:

    I’m currently enjoying the Hero Arts cling cling flower stamps. Thank you for reacquinting me with emboss/distress techniques. I’m loving it.

  27. Sylvia K. says:

    I love, love stamps, but am especially partial to the Tim Holtz line! Thanks for the chance to win.

  28. Christina Ocampo says:

    I’m loving Tim Holtz & Studio Calico stamps. Loving the look of these stamp sets too especially the background one. Thanks for a wonderful giveaway!!!

  29. Janet L says:

    I do like how you combined the stamps for the background. My favorite stamp lines right now are Hero Arts and Inkadinkado.

  30. Meredith says:

    I have always loved hero arts. They have the most amazing stamps and each new line is better than the last. But I am also really loving unity stamps and the lines they have with Cosmo Cricket. Especially the material girl ones. Thanks to all the generous people who make the giveaways possible.

  31. Becky says:

    I SERIOUSLY like those! The sentiments are terrific!

  32. Sheri K says:

    These stamps look great. I really like unmounted stamps, I like Hero arts and clear stamps. I usually purchase ones I like, not necessarily by the brand.

  33. Ketena says:

    Thank you again for sharing all of your talents. I love your sweet caring nature for all of those around you. Have fun with your family. Family is so precious. Hugs Ketena

  37. Paula says:

    I love your cards!!! I have never heard of these stamps. I have quite a few stamps from Technique Tuesday that I use. I especially like the stamps that look like stitching. It’s so much easier than using my sewing machine.

  38. emily says:

    those cards are reaslly nice!! super cute.
    my favorite stamps lines are basic grey, inkadinkadoand hero arts!!!
    great ideas on the cards by the way!! heehee!!!

  39. Donelda says:

    My current favorite stamp line is Papertrey Ink. However, I saw Kimberly’s stamps … I drooled over them! Kimberly is such a sweetheart – so kind. When I was first interested in Papertrey Ink but didn’t have any of the paper .. and when Kimberly heard I didn’t have any of the paper…she sent me some!! What a sweetie! I hope her stamp sets take off and she do really well. I also LOVE the orientation of her sentiments. I’ve been looking for some that are tall instead of wide!!! Thanks for the opportunity to win..

  40. scrapthat/dolly says:

    Not sucking up or anything but Hero Arts has some of my Fave BG stamps.
    I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Mint Motif BG stamps you posted here and what you have done with them and the sentiments would come in super handy as I am giving cards for Christmas for the first time this year!
    Thanks for the opportunity to win!!

  41. Tricia Dee says:

    I’m a big PTI fan, but I’ve had my eye on Mint Motif because I’m a follower of Kimberly Crawford. I tried her “Blueberry Buckle” recipe yesterday and I highly recommend it! Have a great vacation!

  42. Jodie Emerton says:

    Love the motif stamps both cards have given me lots of ideas once I get the house cleaned I am going to play!!! Enjoy your holiday

  43. Therese says:

    I am loving the Hero Arts background stamps at the moment – I’m worried I might wear them out!

    Wow! The text on these stamps is so clear, these may become my favorite! I really like the Invoke Arts rubber stamps.

    Oh yes, just love the background stamps! I’m pretty new to stamping and have to say my favorites are the Studio G $1 clear stamps. The price is right when building a stash! Thanks for sharing.
