Happy Friday everyone! I don’t usually post on Fridays but today we have something to celebrate! I recently released a new series of summer stamps so we’re having a blog hop to show off some of the new images… and give you an opportunity to win the stamps!
I created the card shown here using my two new butterfly stamps and a few of my old favorites too. I’ve been teaching a Side Step style card at the shows for several months. So many people asked for it that we now have made these cards available pre-cut and pre-scored. They have been selling well at our last two shows and will be available to our online customers sometime next week. The new stamps are all available now!
When I showed my niece, Adriana, the new series she immediately had the idea to use the lightning bug images on one of our spinner cards. What a great idea! Let me tell you, this 10 year old is a real smarty pants!
Here’s the card she came up with. Also, although it’s really hard to see in the photograph, she used Spica Glitter Pens by Copic to color the image. What girl doesn’t like a little sparkle?! We just started carrying these pens at the shows and they will be added to Repeat’s online store sometime next week also.
The Rock Star’s have been having fun with the new stamps too! You won’t want to miss a thing. To participate in the hop all you have to do is visit the blogs of all our Rock Stars. (I have provided their links below, but do be sure to refer to their RI Blog Hop posts if you are joining in later in the week.) On each blog, you will find a key word. After you collect all the words, email me (wendy@repeatimpressions.com) with all the words to be eligible for the blog candy. And if you can use all the words to create the correct phrase, you will have earned yourself TWO chances for the blog candy!
You must complete the hop and email me all the words and/or the phrase no later than 8pm eastern time on Tuesday, 7/19. The blog candy for this hop… an unmounted sheet of the new Summer stamps of course! I will announce the winner of the blog candy in my Wednesday blog post.
I think you will really enjoy this hop. The Rock Stars have created some wonderful cards to introduce the new line.
So here are the links to all their blogs…

Thank you to all of you who participated in our latest blog hop. And a big round of applause to those few who took the time to celebrate our First Blogaversary by creating a card for the occasion too!
As you may recall, by creating and linking a card to my post you qualified for two additional entries in our drawing. It turns out that going the extra mile did make a difference too! And our winner not only created a wonderful card, she also used one of our stamp images which we were very happy to see!
Our friends at random.org selected Heidi as our winner. Congratulations, Heidi you just won a $35 Repeat Impressions Gift Certificate for your efforts! Please leave a comment on this post and I will get back to you with the details.
Check out this fun and festive card Heidi created using our 909-G Ballerina Pig stamp. Too cute! You can visit Heidi’s blog to read more about it.
If you missed our hop it’s still not too late to earn yourself a gift certificate. We are still accepting submissions for our latest Sketch Challenge until Tuesday, 3/22. Please follow this link to my M911 Sketch Challenge for inspiration and all the details.
Thanks so much for stopping by today. Happy Friday to you and have a great weekend! Don’t forget to come see me if you are in the Oaks, PA area. We’ll be at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center all weekend with our StampScrapArtTour friends. Hope to see some of you there!

This little snippet from Makiko’s card sums it up pretty well… we’re jumping for joy here! The House That Stamps Built has reached a milestone today… it’s our blogaversary! That’s right, it was one year ago today that I dipped my toe into the blogging pool. Since that time we’ve assembled a fantastic Design Team, hosted 27 card challenges, given away hundreds of dollars in rubber stamps and made lots of new stamping friends along the way. My how time flies when you’re having fun!
To celebrate we’re having a blog hop! All the Rock Stars have created cards to mark this special occasion and we’d love for you to join in too! You can participate in one or two ways…
1. Hop your way around each of the Rock Stars blogs and check out their cards. Be sure to leave a comment on each blog (including this one) and you will be entered in our random drawing for a Repeat Impressions Gift Certificate!
OR
2. Follow all the rules listed above PLUS… create a card to celebrate our blogaversary and link it here on this post. By uploading your card here you’ll earn not one, not two, but three entries in our drawing! Create any card that celebrates, congratulates, or simply wishes us a Happy Anniversary. Your card does not have to be made with Repeat Impressions stamps, but if you would like to include our designs we would reeeally love to see them!
Post your card on your blog or online gallery and be sure to provide the link to this post and reference Repeat Impressions Blogaversary Hop. Then link your card here with the inlinkz widget below. (Please provide a direct link to your post, not the entire blog.)
Comments and card submissions will be accepted until Wednesday, March 16th at 8PM EST. On March 18th we will announce the winner of our Blogaversary Hop. One lucky stamper will win a $35 Repeat Impressions Gift Certificate!
So what are you waiting for? Get hopping!

Happy Wednesday! Welcome to another exciting day at The House That Stamps Built.
We had so much fun last week with our first blog hop that we’ve decided to do it again! And… we’re giving you a sneak peek at yet another NEW series of Christmas stamps! Can you believe it?!
But before we get started I have a couple of announcements to make. First of all… those adorable Christmas Penguins stamps we teased you with are now available for purchase on our website! Woohoo!! You will find them both mounted and unmounted individually and also on an unmounted sheet here… http://www.repeatimpressions.com/chrstmsp.html
Speaking of unmounted sheets… one of our lucky blog hoppers is about to win a sheet of the Christmas Penguins just for playing along with our little game. After collecting all the key words from each blog the correct phrase was “Visit us again Wednesday for another new stamp release hop.”
I am happy to report that 99.9% of you answered correctly.
From those of you who submitted the correct phrase we let random.org pick our winner. So without further ado… the lucky winner is… Kristy Smith! Congrats, Kristy you just scored a sheet of our wonderful Christmas Penguins!
And now let the new hop begin! Snow Globes & Ornaments is the focus of this newest series. The card shown here was created by Rock Star, Darsie Bruno and gives you just a small, but wonderful peek of what you will see along the hop.
The rules of this hop are just a tiny bit different from our last one. To participate in this hop all you have to do is visit the blogs of all our Rock Stars. (I have provided their links below, but do be sure to refer to their RI Blog Hop posts if you are joining in later in the week.) On each blog, you will find a key word. After you collect all the words you will use them to create a phrase. Then email me (wendy@repeatimpressions.com) with the correct phrase to be eligible for the blog candy.
You can double your chances of winning and earn yourself TWO chances for the blog candy if you also leave a comment on each blog, including this one! You must complete the hop and email me the phrase (and optionally leave all your comments) no later than 10 p.m. est on Sunday, August 22nd. The blog candy for this hop … an unmounted sheet of the new Snow Globes & Ornaments, of course!
The complete line of new Snow Globes & Ornaments stamps will be available for viewing on the Repeat Impressions website next Monday, August 23rd. I will provide a direct link here and also announce the winner of the blog candy on my Monday blog post.
I think you will really have fun with this hop too. The Rock Stars have created some beautiful cards to introduce the new line.
