Cardmaking Contest

Card Making Contest and Celebration!!

In addition to handing out goodies everyday, it's Time to have a contest using some great stamps from my dearest friend, Sandra Caldwell! This is the only contest of the month.  (Note, there's also blog candy for today just for leaving a comment, that's separate from the contest)

We are having a wonderful contest with LOTS of prizes. There are there stamps on sale, you can get them and create a card.  The winners will be chosen in many different categories including, Sandra Caldwell's Favorite, Holley's favorite in each of the three stamps, Top three, John's Favorite, and MORE!! some prizes are DIGI stamps from Sandra Caldwell's store, many and most prizes are items that will get mailed to you.  So play along.  You can enter one card for each of the three images for a total of THREE cards per person

The contest will run until the 25th and the winners will be announced on the 26th.  There are three wonderful stamps that you can get in Sandra Caldwell's Etsy store, Babycakes DND they are:


During the month I will show my cards with each image as reminders. You can click the name under each image to go to the store and get the stamp.  All of the stamps have been put on sale from Sandra!  WOO HOO!  I'd love for you to join.  You can make any handmade item with the stamp. I can't wait to see what you make.  

If you don't have a blog or have ANY trouble uploading your cards or need a place to post your cards, you can simply email me--htondre@aol.com and I will be happy to make sure your cards are entered into all the contests!





Question of the day, do you use digi stamps?  I can send both digi stamp prizes as well as mailed prizes to the same winner.    Note: a winner will be drawn from the Question of the day answers, separate from the contest prizes

Did you sign up on the previous days?  Be sure to leave a comment on the Feb 1st, winners are chosen from that day each day of the month.  No winners have been chosen from Feb 2nd-3rd yet, so you can also go comment there if you haven't yet.

  16. I don't have a printer right now so I can't use digi stamps myself, but I love how you use them in your cards . I like the feel of using a physical stamp, and like the option of just stamping in a bold color without having to color it in if I'm short on time.

  17. Yes I use digital stamps. I have issues with tremors in my hands, so I have to be particular with the designs I chose. I love the hippos line dancing like the Rockettes.

  33. Your card is great, just brings a smile to anybody's face. I do use digi-stamps, probably more than rubber or clear stamps, although I do have a collection of them as well.

  40. I used to use digis when I was spoiled with access to a laser printer but now with my inkjet, I've not done any. Super cute stamps, tho, especially the hippos.

    ReplyDelete
  41. I do not use digital stamps, even though I've seen some beautiful projects with them. My coloring skills are not very good so I try to stick to regular stamping and die cutting.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I do not use digis except for coloring classes as Kit and Clowder. Her classes are strickly online so images have to be sent digi.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I only use digi stamps now. Even my sentiments are made on the computer and printed out. I love Sandra's images, so I'm off to her shop now! Whee!

    ReplyDelete
  44. I love working with digis stamps. For me, it gives me more options, since if it depended only on the rubber seals it could not have so much diversity

    ReplyDelete
  45. I love the flexibility of digital stamps. I use them more often than rubber/poly stamps.
    I love your card. Such a cute image, too.
