Welcome! Today we are
hoppin'
Stamp Simply Style featuring
LaBlanche Stamps! We are so excited to share the beautiful images that
LaBlanche is known for and are showcasing some of our favorites.
LaBlanche stamps are silicone stamps mounted on white foam and are richly detailed. They stamp beautifully and clean up easily, we can't ask for anything more! Here is a pic of the
LaBlanche Bunny Stamp from a previous post.
We have a Mystery Blog Candy Prize (first picture at top of this post) too, meaning the winner will be drawn from comments on one of today’s participating blogs (listed below). Remember leaving a comment on each blog increases your chances of winning, but only one comment per blog, please. The winner will be selected at 6 p.m. Eastern time on Saturday, August 13 and will be posted on Sharon's blog on Saturday night or Sunday.
For my creation today, I decided on using the
LaBlanche Harp Stamp. I purchased my frame at a store called Big Lots!
Do you have that store near you? Sometimes I have the best luck in this store and other times not so much. But on my last visit I purchased this frame, it is a Hallmark frame and was only four dollars. I think this would make a great gift for a music teacher, church choir director, or the music lover in your life! Today's stamped
harp is more of a Christmas decor piece. I utilized
Graphic45 Christmas Past papers to frame the harp (Martha Stewart border punch) and cut one of the sentiments from another page in the pad. Sharon has this wonderful
paper and more on sale!
A closer look at that gorgeous image! After stamping with Memento Black Ink, I layed Copic colors, C0, C1, T2, & T5 in the image. A few adhesive pearls and voila', a super simple gift! The flat back flower, a resin embellishment is added with silk red ribbon and curled paper edges shavings. That' s all for me today! I'm so grateful that you stopped in, take good care and have a wonderful Wednesday!
If sales interest you — check out the SPECIALS Section of The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store— always found in the lower right corner of the store home page — many items are at reduced prices now as space needs to be made for new product soon to arrive. All items marked down will show up in the Specials Section.

This is absolutely stunning!!! I love it when someone breaks away from the traditional card and makes something out of the ordinary! The harp stamp is perfect for the lovely black frame you found at Big Lots. It's a gift I wouldn't mind making for a friend or even receiving myself!!

A really beautiful and elegant card!
Barb, great job. I can't say I love this stamp, it would not be my choice, but what you did with it is fantastic, you made an unusual stamp look so elegant and rich looking!! Wonderful design, just small amounts of color worked so well.
Thanks for making me think outside my world!!

This is gorgeous. Simple but so elegant. Love the gold/blk. Big Lot's is one of those stores that is hit or miss. But sometimes you can find some real treasures when your least expecting it.
