Clear Dollar Stamps Sunday Blog Hop!



It's the 3rd Sunday of the month. . .(where are the months going?!)!  That makes it time for the Clear Dollar Stamps Sunday Blog Hop!  You should have come from the uber talented Trudy's blog, but if not why not start at Lori's blog so you don't miss a thing.

This month we were challenged to use the newest colors to the CDS family of the Coordinating Collection.
Don't those colors look devine?!  I pulled out my Blooming Bouquet Die from CDS and made my own bloom with it.  I love the colors all together, and I love how my card turned out.  It also uses a July release single stamp:  Memories.
I'm also quite in LOVE with the new Viva Pearl Pens that were just released in the CDS store as well.  They are AMAZING!  I bought a couple of colors just to try them out, and as soon as I did I had to buy more.  They are flawless to use and simply beautiful!

Stamps:  Memories
Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black
Paper:  CDS Cottonball White, CDS Berry Blast, CDS Orange Whip, CDS Kiwi Delight
Accessories:  CDS Blooming Bouquet Die, circle punch, glossy glaze, CDS Kiwi Delight ribbon, Magenta Viva Pearl Pens, Ornamental Iron embossing folder

the die used:


Now that you've been here, you'll want to head on over to the amazing Linda's blog for more color inspiration!  Be sure to leave comments along the way so that you have the chance to win the awesome prize that Clear Dollar Stamps is giving away :D

    Hi Cassie, I love your card! I am glad you used the Memories stamp. I have been looking at it every since it came out. Now I know I really want it. I love the embossing and flower on your card. I too love the viva decor pens. I have several. Thanks for reminding us that CDS carries them now. Edwina Brown edwinabrown@comcast.net
