Blog Hop » The House That Stamps Built

Our First Blogaversary Hop!

Mar 112011

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!

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!

Another Sneak Peek Blog Hop!

Blog Hop, Holidays

Aug 182010

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. Here are the links to all their blogs…

New Stamp Release Blog Hop!

Blog Hop, Holidays

Aug 122010

Happy, hoppy Thursday and welcome to our first-ever Blog Hop! We’re so excited to finally let you in on our little secret… Repeat Impressions has NEW Christmas stamps that will be available in just a few days. So we thought what better way to celebrate and give you a sneak peek at some of our new stamp designs!

One of our more popular Christmas stamps has been our tiny penguin wearing a Santa hat. I thought it was about time that I gave this little guy some friends. So the focus of this hop is my new series of Christmas Penguins. The card shown here was created by Rock Star, Lynette Neus and gives you just a small, but wonderful taste of what you will see along the hop.

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 10 p.m. eastern time on Monday, August 16th. The blog candy for this hop … an unmounted sheet of the new Christmas Penguins, of course!

The complete line of new Christmas Penguin stamps will be available for viewing on the Repeat Impressions website next Wednesday, August 18th. I will provide a direct link here and also announce the winner of the blog candy on my Wednesday blog post.
