This week we are focusing on Backgrounders. There are lots of wonderful new samples in the special gallery HERE. I've chosen to use the Fine Lines backgrounder to decorate some stars instead of using it as a traditional background.
You can do so many different things with backgrounders instead of just stamping backgrounds on your cards. Stamp them on die cut shapes, use them to accent embellishments, or use them for paper piecing line art images.
Two Gift Certificates will be awarded to 2 lucky winners who successfully follow the blog hop & comment as they go in the time allotted. This is not a race. All Blog Hops will start from the CHF Be Creative Blog on a Monday, comments must be made before midnight EST on the Thursday of that week & winners will be announced on the Friday.
1st prize is a $20 CHF Gift Certificate, 2nd Prize is a $10 Gift Certificate which will be emailed to the winning participants. The Gift Certificates will be valid for 6 months from date of issue. PLEASE NOTE that if you have a Club CHF award awaiting you on your next order, you will need to wait for the following order to use your Gift Certificate as the store only allows one discount per order.
If you upload a qualifying card (using the featured week’s stamp line) to the CHF special gallery for that week you will be eligible for the Design Team’s Favorite prize which will be a rubber stamp/stamp set of your choice up to the value of $16.99. The deadline for uploading cards for the prize will also be Thursdays at midnight.
This week will feature backgrounders. Next week we will feature a different stamp line, so keep tuning in for more great artwork and sales! This week, all backgrounders are on sale, 25% off! Sale ends Thursday at midnight. Now is the time to stock up on those backgrounders that have been on your wish list.
Don't forget to leave comments at each stop on this hop for a chance to win a gift certificate! If you upload your artwork to the special gallery HERE, you could win a free backgrounder stamp! Now it's time to go to Laura's blog and see what she has created with CHF Backgrounders.
