Sweet Blog CANDY!!!!

I haven't done Blog Candy is so long I think this is way overdue!

To celebrate all of my recent blog subscribers and to thank all my blog visitors I'd like to offer up this delicious bit of SWEET BLOG CANDY!

This is a clear stamp set from Hampton Art called Cupcakes.

There are 12 individual stamps in this set. It's what they call a foot-long but these are separate stamps.  The cupcakes are about 1 inch square and the words "make a wish" and "cupcake" are about 2 1/2 inches long.

I have to say that I really like the quality of the Hampton Art clear stamps.  It takes ink very well and gives a nice crisp image.

Here are a couple of cards (Marie originals) that I made with this set:




Please note: the BLOG CANDY stamp set is unused but I did buy one for myself and used it to make this sample card.

All you have to do to be entered into this BLOG CANDY draw is just leave me a comment (on this post only) telling me what you like to see when you visit a blog.

For example: I'm mostly a card maker so I like to see lots of photos of cards.  I get a lot of inspiration and ideas from visiting other peoples blogs and seeing what they are working on. 

Sorry but this draw is open to all of my blog visitors in Canada and the USA only!

I will draw names from all the comments by Sunday May 1st and post the winner!

ps.  the round stamp "So Sweet" shown in the second card photo is from my new Autumn Leaves set and not included in the blog candy stamp set.

Until next time!

    Hey Marie!
    Love your blog and the cards in the post are beautiful! In general on blogs although I always admire the more intricate creations, I really enjoy cards that I feel I could easily reproduce or give me inspiration for something I could easily make myself.
    Hugs,
    Heather

    Hi Marie - you have a lovely blog. I love to see all the cards and if they are difficult I love to watch videos on how to make them. I also like hearing about everyones families - makes me feel like i know them personally. I recently met a blogger when she visited LA and I felt like I knew her and she did not know me from Adam. We had lunch and we are now good friends.

    Hi Marie

    I love the way you take pictures of your cards up close. It gives me ideas on how to do such a lovely job on cards myself. Love your tutorials and also that you link to other tutorials. Fun all round.
    Cheers

    What a cute stamp set! I'd love to win it. When I visit a blog I like to see lots of pictures and a supply list so I know what was used to make the project.

    Hello Marie: It's so sweet of you to have this lovely giveaway! Your blog is very organized, and it's easy to navigate! And I like the BG 'cause it's pleasing to the eye but not too distracting from all the info. I make card mostly, so I am always attacted to card samples/sketches. Thanks for the chance.

    Hi Marie, Thanks for this great opportunity to win some eye candy. Your blog is great. What I love to see in a crafting blog is a lot of pictures, and like to see instructions or links to pages containing how-tos for new techniques and methods.

    Glad to see you back in action. I have following your blog a long time and enjoy all your creations. I, of course, like to see a new twist on a stamp set or punch the most when I visit a blog. I really like the cupcake stamp and the oppotunity to win it! (even better)Thanks again

    Nice card. I look forward to visiting all kinds of blogs related to card and scrapbooking. I first check out the varioius cards that have recently been made, then I check out to see what they have made under the labels area as well as any tutorials that they have made.

    When I go to a blog I like to see a new way of doing something or instructions and templates. I love the colorful flaggs under the ribbon on your card. Thats a new one for me that I would love to case.

    Marie, I read your post on CST and thought I'd come and visit. You have some great projects here and I had a great time looking around. I am a digital stamp designer so I don't have alot of time to play with my own paper art much so I like to look around other creative blogs for relaxation and also a bit of inspiration. I enjoy blogs that have lots of great projects as well as tutorials. I especially enjoyed your great ribbon rose tutorial. I'll have to try these. Thanks.

    As a card and ATC maker, I love to see that kind of artwork... since I love almost every style out there, from CAS to shabby chic to vintage, I would be happy to see whatever your style is. It's always good to be challenged to try something new that I don't normally do... oh and techniques!! I LOVE techniques!!! :D

    I love your cards and your blog. I visit quite often. This would be a great set to win. Thanks for offering.
    On blogs, I like to see new techniques and cards that have a wow factor. It does not matter to me if the color recipe is included.

    I do not have any cupcake stamps. The cards that you are showing look wonderful. It would be great to win the blog candy and make some similar cards.
    Good Luck to everyone who enters the giveaway.
