Encouragement Card Hop Featuring Pink and Main Products

 

Hey everyone.  It’s a beautiful day here on the blog.  The Encouragement Card Hop is full of inspiration. If you are looking for inspiration and seeing amazing projects you are in the right place.  To be a part of the hop is so heartwarming for me.  I truly believe in supporting the wonderful people in this community of crafters.

This Encouragement Card Hop is lifting others up when they might not be having the best of times.  For me, this passed year has been extremely tough for my family and having the support of my crafty peeps has been a life saver.  Remember encouragement can come in different forms, so reach out to your friends, families and even strangers.  Let them know you are here for them.

So let’s get onto the hop shall we?  You should have arrived here from Fairuz Fabina channel.  If you’ve missed the start of the hop head on over to Courtney’s Youtube to begin.  There are a mix of bloggers and Youtubers on this hop.  I also have a tutorial for you today.  You can watch it here on my blog or over on my Youtube channel. You can leave a comment there as well.

My card today is featuring products from the new Pink and Main July 2019 release. If you missed my previous posts with some of the newly released products you can see them here.  Here is a sample of the card and you can see the making of it over on my channel.

Topflight Stamps Birthday Hop

 

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

 

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.

 

Pink and Main Party Balloons

 

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.

Technique Tuesday Blog Hop Day 2

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.

Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Hey everyone.  Today we are having the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop.  So many of our talented design team members have projects to share with you today.  February products are live today so you can pick up your goodies after hopping through all the blogs.  So let’s get started with the Kind Cosmo stamp set.

Remember during the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop you have a chance to win a great prize and you can also make your purchases today.  That’s a win-win right?  For my card today I used the Kind Cosmo stamp set and matching dies.  As you already know, Technique Tuesday features a beautiful floral stamp set everyone.  I love the clean and simple lines of this month’s Kind Cosmo stamp.

I stamped my image on watercolor paper and colored it in using distress oxide inks.  Next I smooched some distress ink on a piece of watercolor paper in a random print so it gave my flowers a space to land on and it kept the background simple. I stamped one of the sentiments from the Kind Cosmo stamp set on this background piece and layered it over black card stock.  I decided to pop my flowers up on foam dots for added dimension.
