Our three blog hop winners will be drawn from all participants, so be sure to leave comments by Sunday March 25th at 6pm EST. We will announce the winners on the myStamp BOX blog and Faber-Castell blog on Monday, March 26^th. Good Luck!

Here is what I made using products from Faber-Castell and myStamp BOX:

I received Faber-Castell's Mixed Media Sampler with metallic shades of gold and silver. I rubbed the creamy Gelatos across brown cardstock, highlighting the texture with each scribble. These luscious acid-free pigment sticks glide on vibrant color and blend beautifully with or without water. The metallics work especially well on dark papers!

I stamped the animal print pattern from myStampBOX's Graphic Border set and heat-embossed in gold. I added a little faux stitching with Faber-Castell's silver PITT artist pen. This pen is made with professional-quality odorless India ink that won’t bleed through your projects, and is waterproof, lightfast and archival. The sentiment came from the Whatever! stamp set.

Now it’s time to HOP along and find out what the next talented designer has created. Your next designer is the fabulous Rita from Faber-Castell . Don’t forget to leave a comment below for a chance to WIN one of our three product giveaways!

Our two Hop winners will be drawn from all participants and will be announced on the myStamp BOX blog and Canvas Corp blog on Monday, November 28th, so all comments are due by Sunday November 27th at 6pm EST. Good Luck!

Here is what I did with Canvas Corp and myStamp BOX's products (click on the photos for a closer look):

I created this layout of my son in his Halloween costume with entirely Canvas Corp and myStampBOX products! The layout uses all CC kraft/black and white/black papers, Chalkstalk tags, twine, mini clothespins, a kraft mini bag, and a burlap tag as a mat for my photo. I am all about texture on my projects, so Canvas Corp is a natural fit for me.

The letters on the tags and mini kraft bag are from the myStampBOX Royal Flush alphabet. It's my very favorite one!! The Chalkstalk tags were also embellished with barbed wire from Repeat After Me. The tiny tags tucked into the bag are from the Santa's Tags set. I love that you can use them on all sorts of projects, not just Christmas ones.

Now it’s time to HOP along and find out what the next talented designer has created. Your next designer is Cassie. Don’t forget to leave a comment below for a chance to WIN one of our TWO product giveaways!

We are giving away an amazing prize package from the myStamp BOX shop for our event this weekend, and all you have to do is COMMENT along your journey to WIN.

We have given three of our lovely designers a mystery prize box, and you could WIN the prize inside just by leaving a COMMENT on EVERY designer’s blog. Our Mystery Box Hop winner will be announced on the myStamp BOX blog on Monday so all comments are due by Sunday June 26th at 11:59pm EST. Good Luck!

And here is what I did with my MYSTERY BOX.

Stamps used: Abundant Blossoms, A Flower For You, Bits and Pieces

I loved the original kraft color, so I decided to stamp bold flowers in black and color away! The surface of the box is perfect for colored pencils, and I had a great time blending colors. I finished each flower off with a gemstone center or jeweled brad by Karen Foster Design.


The peekaboo window in the lid was covered with the recycled, clear plastic sheet that myStamp BOX stamps come on in the package...so my project is even green! Now I have a cute box ready for any type of small gift.

Now it’s time to HOP along and find out what the next talented designer has created with her MYSTERY BOX. Your next designer is Agata. Don’t forget to leave a comment below for a chance to WIN one of our MYSTERY BOX giveaways! Happy hopping!

I'm excited to introduce a very talented designer - Wendy Morris. Here's a note from Wendy:

Hello! I’m a Southern girl from Alabama. I’m super excited to join the My Stamp Box design team! I’m always inspired by things around me and make time each day for art....living in the motto to “find inspiration everyday everywhere”. It’s funny that when I’m not creating I’m usually jotting down ideas for creations later once back in my art room. Since scrapbooking 15+ years ago, I've been addicted since the beginning. I have a strong passion for life art, lots of creative spirit, and fearless in working with new products and techniques. My style would be defined as blending the old + new + typically adding stamping in the mix. During the day, I work full-time as an audit manager. I also love to travel, photography, cooking, and reading. Come visit my blog to see my latest projects.

Now…. Check out our next new design team member and a fun card at Allison's blog!

Don't forget!

Don't forget - tomorrow at 10 AM EST we'll be announcing the new myStampBOX Design Team members. Start at the myStampBOX blog for a fun blog hop with great projects. See you tomorrow!

Once you have visited and commented on each person’s blog you can return to the myStamp BOX blog and leave one final comment to let us know what your favourite stop along your train trip was.

Here's my Love Train card. I stamped the sentiment using the Whatever! set of stamps that is packed with witty and clever phrases. (Click on the photos for a closer look.)

I also tried a new technique. I used the heart from one of our new winter CHA releases called Back to the Basics. I stamped it right onto an embossing folder and ran white cardstock through my die cutting machine. The inked heart image showed up on the cardstock wherever it touched the embossing folder surface. I love the effect!

Thanks for joining us on your journey. Don’t forget to leave a comment below to be eligible for a prize! Now on to the next station….your next stop is my dear stamping friend Maryfrances.

Here's my card to welcome the new designers. I embossed and sanded some fabulous Black Magic cardstock by product partner Core'dinations (my favorite of theirs!) and stamped the sentiment from Everyday Lines directly onto the ribbon. Add a few pearls, and you're good to go!

I am proud to introduce the very talented Cari Locken.

"Hi there! My name is Cari Locken and I live with my amazing husband and our three children in Langley, British Columbia. I started scrapbooking in 1997 and it has become a passion of mine! My family and surroundings are my inspiration and I love to scrap the everyday-type of events. I love teaching scrapbooking classes at conventions and various retreats throughout the area. My style is clean, classic with a touch of fun & whimisical details. You can find my work in Canadian Scrapbooker magazine, Cards, Paper Crafts, Scrapbook Trends, Scrapbooks etc (BH&G), and Creating Keepsakes. I'm thrilled to be a part of the myStampBOX team!"

You have a chance to win a set of stamps! Our partner companies will offer up a prize as well, so leave a comment on all the blog posts and then return to the mSB blog and tell us what you favourite project was along the way for a chance to win. Have fun!




Here's what I made for the hop! Once the weather got warm we decided to get a Slip & Slide. My youngest son has become quite the slippery expert, and these photos really catch him in full flying mode! I used the Funky Alphabet set to create words in my title raised on pop dots.

The cheery sun in the corner comes from the Wishing You Sunshine set. I also stamped out a polka dot cloud from the same set and die cut some tiny stars to dot the lower case i's in the word Slidin'.

Please hop along to see Monique's fabulous work and check out more Summery inspiration!

Have Fun!

Allow me to welcome a dear friend to the myStampBOX team: Maryfrances Fabbri! I have been honored to work for Maryfrances in the past, so getting to work with her again is a real treat. I made this card using the Road Trip and Funky Alphabet sets of myStampBOX stamps. Here's a little more info about Maryfrances: My name is Maryfrances Fabbri. I am a mother, wife, designer, and self proclaimed queen of creativity. Since I was a young girl I have always been interested in arts and crafts such as stamping, scrapbooking, and sewing. My style is clean with a touch of whimsy. Mini stickers letters and stamps of any kind just make my heart go a flutter. Pop dots take a close second!

I live in Massachusetts with my husband Gregg and our three children and of course our sweet boy Ace, the sock eating dog. I have had my worked published is various trade magazines and currently design for a top paper and scrapbook manufacturer as well as MyStampBox.

Elisa Kammerdiener

The design team's challenge was to take the theme of our blog hop and apply the colours of white, pink and orange to their creations. I stamped a little treat box for my son's classroom teacher. I like to give out hand lotion and lip balm with their Valentine treats since the weather is so harsh at this time of year. I even recycled the piece of clear acetate that my stamps were adhered to in the case and lined the window opening in the treat box! I also stamped the background and sentiment for the matching card.

For participating in the blog hop by leaving a comment on each and every participating myStamp BOX designer's blog, you have a chance to win a set of brand new stamps sets being released this month! So leave a comment on all the blog posts and then return to the mSB blog and tell us what you favorite project was along the way for a chance to win! Have fun!
