Paper Sweeties Birthday Blog Hop With Pink and Main

August 24, 2019

Hey everyone. Welcome to the Pink and Main/Paper Sweeties Birthday Blog Hop. I’m so excited to be a part of this hop. It’s going to be full of inspiration and creativity overload. Paper Sweeties has some really cute stamps and products. So let’s get started.

For my card today I used the Pink and Main Pen Pals as my background paper. I trimmed down the pattern paper so I could add a pretty gray piece of card stock behind it. Next I stamped out the sentiment on white card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and trimmed it down. I also placed the sentiment strip onto gray card stock. I added faux white stitching to both panels with a .10 point gelly roll pen. Finishing off this panel I glued the sentiment strip onto the pattern paper panel.

Now it was time to die cut out the love sentiment from Paper Sweeties. I die cut this piece several times and glued the piece together for extra weight. I then used my white gelly roll pen to go over the letters for some white highlights. Once this was complete I adhered it to my card panel and covered the sentiment with Nuvo Crystal Glaze. To keep the card colorful, I placed my pattern paper panel onto a rose card base. Adding just a touch of bling to my card I used these pretty flower sequins also from Paper Sweeties.

Here is a closeup of my card. The little flower sequins are open in the center however I placed a small gem in the middle of mine.

Now for all the details. Paper Sweeties is offering 25% discount on that day to celebrate their 7th Birthday. And Pink and Main will be giving away a surprise package valued at $25.00. Participants must leave a comment on each stop along the hop. Winner announced on Wednesday August 28, 2019.

It’s now time to hop along to the next designer. So head on over to Laurie’s blog and get inspired. Have a great day everyone and I’ll see you back here soon.

Topflight Stamps Birthday Hop

March 26, 2019

It is Topflight Stamps 2nd birthday! To celebrate, we’ve teamed up with up some of our favorite crafters to bring you a blog hop showcasing some of the fabulous products available from Topflight Stamps. Please hop along with us all and show all of the crafters some love! The Topflight Stamps birthday hop is going to be awesome.

Here is my cards for today. I used the Darkroom Door Paint Drips and Paints Brushes on my cards. I LOVE both of these stamps for cardmaking. I’m a huge watercolor person so these just spoke to me when I saw them. The first card I heat embossed the paint drips and a sentiment in gold embossing powder over a pretty alcohol ink background. I trimmed down this panel so I could layer it over black card stock. Next I stamped the sentiment on black card stock, heat embossed it in gold and cut out just a portion of the sentiment. I added this strip on the card front for added interest. Lastly I added this piece to a white card base to complete the card.

For my next card I really wanted to make these little brushes stand out on their own. I stamped and heat embossed them with gold embossing powder and fussy cut each one out. Next I added glue to the end of each one and sprinkled on glitter on the ends. I used red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple glitter.

I stenciled a background in rainbow order to have a nice landing place for my brushes. Stamping out the sentiment directly on this panel keep the card very simple. I used a white card base for my card. I added some cheery red card stock to this panel and then glued on the dotted background. Lastly I added some foam tape behind each paint brush and popped it up near the coordinating colored dots.

Pink and Main 5th Birthday Blog Hop – Inspiration Overload

March 20, 2019

Hey peeps. Today we are celebrating Pink and Main’s 5th Birthday Blog Hop. I’m so excited for everyone today. Pink and Main has been one of my favorite stamp companies since Michelle started. She is an incredible woman and she has made Pink and Main one of the go to places for beautiful stamps, dies, paper and embellishments. We have some amazing and talented people on this hop and I’m sure you’re going to be blown away with so much inspiration. For my card today I’m using the Party Balloons stamp and coordinating die cuts. I’ve also pulled in a sentiment from the Sweet Bouquet stamp set.

To create my card, I pulled out a variety of inks and stamped out fun confetti onto a white card base. I used the same inks to stamp out each balloon. Stamping the coordinating design on each one with gold ink makes the balloon shine. Next I die cut out each balloon and added some gold thread to the bottoms of each one. Stacking the balloons one on top of the other leaving space for each one to be seen give me my focal point. The last two balloons I added just a bit of foam tape to pop them up.

To add my sentiment, I pulled out a piece of yellow card stock and stamped one of the sentiments. This sentiment came from the Sweet Bouquet stamp set. Trimming this piece into a sentiment banner and adding some foam tape to the back, allowed me to keep the balloon strings all together. Adding just a few gold sequin finished off the card nicely. I have more inspiration using Pink and Main products here.👈🏽

Are you ready now to hop around for more excitement? It’s time to take a scroll along the hop to these very talented crafters. Make sure to leave them some love along the way. There will be FIVE random winners from this blog hop. Each winner will receive a $50 store credit to Pink and Main. Comment by March 24, 2019 and Michelle will pick a winner on the blog March 25 2019.

Technique Tuesday Blog Hop Day 2

February 2, 2019

Hey peeps. It’s Technique Tuesday Blog Hop day 2 and I’m using the Remember When Scrapbooking stamp set. This is a perfect stamp set for cardmaker and scrapbookers alike. It’s super easy to create very graphic cards with it as well as use it for all your scrapbooking needs. The Remember When stamp set is so versatile and I’m sure it will be one you will reach for continuously.

For my card today, I stamped out some colorful blocks using one of the solid images that comes in this stamp set. I used spring like colors to keep my card light and bright. Next I stamped out several of the sentiments in black ink on three of the squares. This left with with lots of white space and it keeps your eye moving across the card with each sentiment. I added just a few matching colored gems to complete the front of the card. I used a piece of black card stock to mat this white panel on and adhered everything to a white card base.

Inside the card I placed a photo of my girlfriends and I. We took this picture back in the summer and I want to give each one of them a copy of it to remind us of the wonderful day we had together.
