It’s been 3 years today that I began blogging. And last week Rainy Day Creations got a new theme with a new look. So I wanted to have a little blog candy celebration by giving away this new Stampin’ Up Sale-A-Bration stamp set called “Punch Bunch”. Also included in the blog candy is SU’s scalloped square punch. It coordinates perfectly with the birthday stamp in this set.
Today is also my husband’s birthday. Not sure if I started my blog on his birthday to help me remember my blogoversary each year or to help me remember his birthday. I have been known to forget these sorts of things in the past. Oops.
I even forgot our wedding anniversary once.
His card was made using the birthday stamp from my set (this set is brand new) and my scalloped square punch (again, the one pictured here is new).
The sentiment was stamped on yellow cardstock with VersaMark and then embossed with black embossing powder. You can really see how the punch is slightly larger than the image so that a fine border is left after punching. LOVE the look!
Okay so back to the business at hand!
All you need to do to enter the drawing for this SU stamp set and coordinating scalloped square punch is leave a comment below on this blog post. A winner will be chosen at midnight PST this Friday, February 18th, using random.org’s random number generator.
Good luck and Happy Crafting!

Rainy,
Congrats on 3 years of blogging! I bookmarked you when I came across a card on your site that I was just in love with! It was using your technique of stamping with a reverse stamp onto the raised portion of an embossed card.
Thanks for a chance at some fantastic blog candy! I love that set and the punch and would be thrilled to win it.

Hi Susan, please extend my Birthday wishes to your husband. I am sure he will love the card, it is very manly.
3 years of blogging is a large accomplishment. I appreciate the time and dedication involved in having a blog (this is why I don’t have one). I am one of the few people on the planet that don’t own any SU stuff. I think that owl is adorable. I have a collection of owl stamps, they are always so cute.
Have a great day and I will be keeping my fingers crossed.
I’ve enjoyed browsing your blog today – Great blog candy too !
Love your card! I love looking around at everyone’s blogs to see what they are up to, and yours always catches my eye! Great work, and thanks for the blog candy!
The blog looks great,and thanks for the chance to win blog candy.I love everything Stampin up Punches..

Anything that works to help you remember a date – lol! My Brother in law waited to propose until he could get married on Valentines Day exactly…that way he has a shot at remembering his wedding anniversary and Valentines Day all at once (yeah he had trouble with Vday too! LOL).
Love the card (the bold colors as well as the details and composition) and love the candy…thanks for being so generous and congratulations on another year of blogging. You’re one of my favs even if I’m rude enough to look and run without letting you know. Love how this stamp set makes a quick and fun card so very easy.
Hugs – Jean and hey…wish the big guy a happy birthday from a blogging buddy.
HAPPY ANNIVERSAY TO YOU ! Thanks also for the chance to WIN blog candy !
Love the bday card! Happy Anniversary to you both!

Awesome card for your hubby Susan! And, don’t feel bad, I forgot our anniversary as well . . . hey, life happens . . . LOL! Please don’t enter me for blog candy, just wanted to leave a comment on your awesome card!
Susan, congrats on 3 yrs on the blog. I know how much work posting a blog can be, so thank you for continuing. I just love this card. How appropriate for a guy or a teenage. Thanks for the chance to win some awesome blog candy.
I love that you forget these things! We actually got married on Labor Day so that we could remember the date. What we didn’t think about is that it comes on a different date each year. I am always getting a card or flowers a day or 2 late or early! We always get a great laugh out of it after 36 years!! Besides, they are just days, what really counts are the memories! Love your blog and thanks for offering a giveaway. HAPPY BLOGAVERSARY AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUR HUSBAND!
I really like this card. It’s so hard to come up with good guy cards. Happy blogaversary!
Yeah Susan! Congratulations on 3 years and Happy Birthday to your hubby. Love your card. Awesome colors and fab design!

Happy 3rd Blog-Birthday, I love the new fresh look theme to your blog and your new photo is fab too. I’m sure that your husbad will love his b’day card, and as you say the fact that the punch is just a little bit larger than the stamp gives a great border.
