Welcome Guest Designer Isha Gupta!

Today we welcome Isha Gupta to the Guest spot in the Pig Pen! Isha is a former Bacon Bits DT member, and we are thrilled to have her share a cool, trendy and oh-so-hot neon design with us today!

Isha says:

I'm Isha Gupta. I am a stay-at-home mom to my two daughters.  I love to read, sing, bake, crochet, or play Board Games with my younger daughter in my free time. I've always been creative but got hooked on stamping about three years ago. 

I've been published in Paper Crafts & Scrapbooking, CARDS, CardMaker, Take Ten, Just Cards and Parchment Craft magazines. I recently was on the cover of CardMaker Spring 2014 and Paper Crafts 350 Cards & Gifts. 

I love exploring new techniques and applying them to my projects. One of my favorite techniques is creating watercolor backgrounds with stamps and ink. Two styles you will see most from me are cute and whimsical, classic and traditional.

I am absolutely delighted to be here at Hambo as a guest designer. My love for Hambo stamps started when I was in the team last year!

We are glad to have Isha back with us - if only for a day! Take a look at her adorable and eye-catching design:

LOVE the neon! Never Sent Flours (1418) and Flours (1417) are available here.

Sending 'Flours'

Hi Hambo friends!

Deborah here and I'm sharing with you a little funny to start your weekend.  Do you send flowers? Or do you tend to forget? In either case, I think this fun Hambo Stamps rubber image and sentiment would make any person giggle!

At first, this image may get you a questionable look, but when your special someone opens up the card, it will all come together.

:) Didn't that make YOU giggle? It always makes me laugh!  I stamped the Flours image with Memento Rich Cocoa and colored it in with Copics before popping it up.  I used some patterned paper from My Minds Eye and used my Swiss Dots embossing folder for the background panel.  I finished the card with some Ric Rack ribbon I had in my stash and used my corner rounder punch for the bottoms of the patterned paper. 

And speaking of paper, don't forget to check out the fun papers Hambo Stamps offers! While you are there, check out the awesome selection of mini Memento Inks.  Those are perfect for smaller stamps or just for trying out a color!!

Thanks for stopping by today and have a great Saturday!

We are so happy Deborah is returning 

to our Bacon Bits Design Team!
