It is our final day of the hop with May Arts and we are so glad that you’ve joined us. Enjoy the super hop with our team and the May Arts team over on their blog where there are prizes to be won.
Winners will be announced early next week for three lucky fans who left comments somewhere along our hop on the Stampendous blog and design team blog posts. Commenting is open until Sunday January 31, 2016 11:59 pm Pacific time. See Official Contest Rules for details. Each package includes Sisters Perfectly Clear Stamps Set, Cling Beautiful Braid Rubber Stamp and an assortment of May Arts ribbons.
Since this is Thursday, we’re sure that you are aware that we’ve been happily hopping with May Arts Ribbon all of this week. If you’ve missed any days, head on back to the Monday, January 25th post. Of course, there are prizes involved! Just leave comments on all posts for the week for a chance to win one of the THREE prize packages. See Stampendous Official Contest Rules for details.
The best embellishments for any designer/artist are the items that are the perfect “finishing touch”. They ADD to the design without confusing the eye. Which is why we at Stampendous LOVE May Arts ribbons and trims! A card or project can be “pretty” and “nice”, but add a bit of May Arts ribbon…and suddenly you have “WOW”! Take a look at a couple examples below, envisioning what they’d be like without that added touch. Granted…we believe that everything is amazing when begun with a base of Stampendous and Dreamweaver products (what’d you expect?), but even we like a bit of bling and frill here and there!

If you are just joining us for the hop today, welcome! This is our fifth day of the hop and you can start back at the beginning of the week if you’re interested. Here are the links for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. For our Stampendous friends who have been hopping all week here is the entire design team prepared to wow you for one more day!
May Arts has a ribbon lady, owner and original ribbonista Bethney, who sources only the best in trendy, high quality ribbon and in every color and size possible. It would be a shock if we didn’t have just the right ribbon to add to our project, our creativity finds new ways to use ribbon on our projects and so we sometimes stamp and stencil on them!
At the beginning of the year we acquired the awesome Dreamweaver Stencils Company from our long time friends, Lynell and Wayne Harlow, and we are still so excited about the possibilities with these quality metal stencils and so many different ways to use them.
It’s feasible to stencil embossing paste onto ribbon for a special sentiment banner (left and bottom right. credit: Pam Hornschu and Lynell Harlow respectively) or even sponge ink through a stencil to create coordinating ribbon (top right, credit: Pam Hornschu). We get excited thinking about different coloring and stenciling mediums to use stencils on our ribbons with diff coloring mediums that would work with this basic method. Today is our regular Dreamweaver Stencils feature day posting later on our blog, so it’s possible our designers projects will include some stencil work that are sure to inspire.

We’d love to start off this show with a fantastic card from our January catalog. Our in-house Sample Artist, Debi Hammons, simplified this card from a beautiful design by our DT member Suzanne Czosek. The crushed silk ribbon in gorgeous, rich purple is just the perfect complement for our Cling Botanical Asperula and Scrolled Medallion stamps! Just love this card.
