Hi everyone! Welcome to the Inspired By Stamping and Die Versions Blog Hop.  Twenty two talented designers have united to celebrate the new season and shake off the malaise of a snowy winter. Yay!!! Inspired by Stamping, which designs and manufactures the highest quality of photopolymer stamps that bring superior stamping to all crafters, has teamed up with Die-Versions, makers of low profile metal dies which works with virtually every machine out there and cuts through most materials, to create this special eye candy of Spring themed projects.


One lucky "hopper" will get a total prize package of $100 in gift certificates, a $50 gift certificate from Inspired by Stamping AND Die-Versions, so you can stock up on some awesome products that both of these companies have to offer.

For my first card, I used IBS images from Flowers Bloom, and the super fun die, from Die Versions, Love This Mini Edge.

On this second card, I used IBS images from Spring Lilacs ,along with Pretty, from Die Versions.
