Hey, STAMPlorations friends! Have we got a fun week of partying in store for you! We are celebrating STAMPlorations' second year -- and how awesome the last two years have been, as we've grown significantly since then! My husband David and I (Shery) are so blessed to have a wonderful team of talented paper craft artists helping us grow STAMPlorations. The STAMPlorations girls play such a significant part in our success.

We are also so very thankful to be part of a blogging community of crafters and I have "met" so many creative cardmakers and paper crafters the past couple of years -- I'm awed at the tremendous talent I get to see nearly every day online. We owe so much of our success to each one of you. Thank you so much for your continued support of this blog and our little company. Whether you're a customer, a blog follower/reader, or a challenge participant --thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

And so we're here all week to PARTY! Our celebration blog hop starts right now. We're sharing projects featuring 3 party-themed stamp sets we released just for the occasion: Party Mates (by Deepti of Dee's Artsy Impressions), PartyGirl (by Shirley of The Bee's Knees), and Party Time (by yours truly of Shery Russ Designs).

And what's a blog hop without prizes for those of you who hop along? Here are the deets:

Prizes for commenting on the STAMPlorations blog, STAMPlorations designers blogs, and guest designers blogs:

  • ONE (1) winner will be randomly drawn from all comments left to win a $25 certificate to the STAMPlorations shop.
  • FIVE (5) winners (1 per day) will be randomly drawn from all comments left to each win a $10 gift certificate to the STAMPlorations shop.

Prizes for creating and linking up a party/celebration/birthday project:
  • THREE (3) randomly drawn winners of the party stamp sets (1 winner of Party Mates, 1 winner of Party Time, 1 winner of PartyGirl)
  • ONE (1) randomly drawn winner of a $25 gift certificate (if STAMPlorations stamps/stencils are used) or $15 gift certificate (if non-STAMPlorations stamps/stencils are used)

Extra prizes for commenting on Deepti's, Shirley's, and Shery's blogs throughout the blog hop:
  • ONE (1) winner of Party Mates randomly drawn from all comments left on Deepti's blog
  • ONE (1) winner of PartyGirl randomly drawn from all comments left on Shirley's blog
  • ONE (1) winner of Party Time randomly drawn from all comments left on Shery's blog

Winners have one week to claim their prize. (Anyone who is drawn as a winner and fails to claim her prize within the allotted time forfeits her prize. We want to be fair to those who do keep up with our blog and claim prizes on time. So you don't miss any of our posts, follow our blog by email or follow us via Google Friend Connect -- you'll find links to both on the right side bar.)


Ready to hop and win? You've got two ways to win:
  • Simply leave a comment on this post and on the designers' blog hop posts between now and Monday, July 6, 11:55 p.m. Pacific (GMT-7) for a chance to win. Only one comment per blog, please. 
  • Create a party/celebration/birthday-themed project (any kind of project, not just a card) based on the mood board and link up in the linky below. You may link up to 3 projects and you can use whatever products you have -- STAMPlorations products are not required, although if you have them and use them in your projects, you can win the bigger prize! 
We'll announce the winners on Tuesday evening, July 7, right here on the blog. How easy is that? Have fun!

(Note: There are 16 stops in the hop, including this blog. You're not required to visit every stop on the hop to be eligible to win, but commenting on all the stops will increase your chances of winning. In case you click on a designer's link and you get a page/post not found error, just go to her main blog and scroll down to find the post for DAY ONE of the STAMPlorations Birthday Blog Hop & Linky Party. You can also go back here to our main blog; we'll update the links throughout the day.)

Partying with us today is one uber talented cardmaker: AMY TSURUTA!


"Hi! My name is Amy and I'm a huge fan of STAMPlorations! I'm thrilled to help in celebrating their 2nd birthday! I love all things crafty and have been blogging for almost 8 years. I feel so fortunate to be part of this Paper Crafting Community!"






After you've hopped, come party with us some more! 
  • Use the mood board below to inspire you to create a project with a party, celebration, or birthday theme.
  • Post it on your blog (or Flickr, Instagram, SCS gallery, etc.) and then link up below! Don't forget to display the mood board on your post and link back to this post! 
  • You may enter up to 3 projects and you can use any product(s) you have -- not just STAMPlorations stamps and/or stencils!
  • Link up by Monday, July 6, 11:55 p.m. Pacific (GMT-7).
  • We'll randomly draw 3 winners to each win the party stamp sets.
  • We'll randomly draw 1 winner to win a $25 gift certificate (if STAMPlorations products are used) or a $15 gift certificate (if non-STAMPlorations products are used)
