QKR Stampede July Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to my blog!

Today is the first QKR Stampede Blog Hop with the new

Design Team Ladies. 

I'm pleased to be joining them for this hop

and welcoming them all to the team. 

Although I'm not a "full" team member,

I will be joining them from time to time for hops.

I will also be posting projects made with my QKR images here on my blog and from time to time on the QKR company blog.

If you have just happened upon the hop, you will want to start at the beginning.  I know you won't want to miss meeting any of these talented ladies and seeing what they have to inspire you.

If you have come from Katie's Blog, you are on the right track.

This month for our intro hop the theme is "anything goes" so I have decided to show you one of the Christmas cards I've made.

(I'm trying to get done early this year.)

Sorry for the poor photo, the cardstock is foiled and even without the flash it has a glare. 

I know it looks kind of plain, but when you open those little windows,

that's when you see the best part of the card.

The images I have used are available through QKR Stampede as well as our sister company Eureka! Stamps.

"Christmas Balloon" (#ES16402)

was used for the first window.  I stamped it onto white cardstock and colored it with FlexMarkers, then covered it with Glossy Accents.

"Reindeer Balloon" (#ES2606)

was used for the second window.

Again, colored with FlexMarkers

 and a bit of Glossy Accents used on his bells and nose.

Snowman Balloon (#ES11805)

was used for the third window.

He was colored with FlexMarkers and covered with Stickles.

I hope you will take a minute to check out the whole

"Balloons/Holders" category in the QKR Stampede store,

 there are tons of great images, not only for Christmas,

but for other occasions too.

Now I'm sending you off to see what lovely project

Marleen

 has for you on her blog.

Thanks for stopping by, leave a comment if you will and come again soon.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
