September Joyful Stars Blog hop
Welcome to the monthly Joyful Stars blog hop. This is a blog hop where you can go from one site to another. You will get to see some NEW products from our seasonal Sept/Oct catalog and from the Annual Core catalog. You can get both from FREE just by placing an order with your consultant. So look for the highlighted name at the bottom of the post and click on it.
This month was hard to choose because we have soooooo many new products to play with. I would like to show you a stamp set called Floral Detail and Background. This looks good embossed in silver or gold to make an anniversary card. It also has 4 M size stamps that compliment this stamp.
They fit in the circle where I have the numbers. Stamping this in black and coloring in the flowers looks really good, also. (See last photo) I like the 5 stamps that come with this set to use as accents.
Wishing you everything stamp set

These cards were made using Party time paper and Wishing you Everything stamp set. The best thing about this paper collection is you can make your card in pink or blue, just by flipping the paper.
