5 for 5 Easter Blog Event - Day 4

Hello and welcome to Day 4 of our new 5 for 5 Easter Blog Event!  Each day our designers will post an Easter project based on that day’s theme. Today’s theme is "Baskets"! Some of us are offering prizes, so be sure to leave comments on each of links below and visit all the blogs for details on how to win!

To make this card I started with the basket. I cut the basket out on  my Scan N Cut , it's an image that comes with the machine. I wanted to make it be large enough to full up most of the card. It's made from DCWV paper. Then, I stamped some eggs with Archival Inks on card stock in similar colors. The egg stamps are from WPlus9. I made the grass with a border punch. The sentiment is a Denami Designs Rubber stamps.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to visit the blog of the other awesome designers taking part in our Easter 5 for 5 Event. Check back tomorrow for our last day, Day 5 which will be full of crafty fun and inspiration.

Day 8 of the 12 Days of Holiday Projects & Denami Razzle Dazzle Blog Hop

Welcome Day 8 of the 12 Days of Holiday Inspiration AND today I'm also participating in the Denami Razzle Dazzle Blog Hop (which starts at 9AM EST). I'm so excited to be able to participate again this month. 

I love Denami Stamps and I thought this little Denami Stamps Peek-a-boo Penguin in this circular sentiment was just too cute. Since I used two stamps, you can even use other images for the center. I colored the Penguin with Copic Markers and punched it out with a circle punch. I added Glossy Accents to the trim on the Penguin's hat and covered it with White Distress Glitter. Then I put it on a circle made from silver glitter paper. I've had this awesome ornament die for years, so I punched it using a teal color glitter paper and made the top of the ornament from the silver glitter paper. I put it on Real Red card stock from Stampin' Up. I hope it's enough Razzle Dazzle!!

This year I have a theme to my projects - it's called use what you have and keep it simple. For those of you who don't know me, I've been busy building a house this year. The process started last February and construction started in early June. I sold my old house and moved in with my parents last May. So, I have not been nearly as crafty as I like to be this year, I just haven't had the time or the space. 

I haven't purchased any new holiday stamps, just a couple of new 6x6 papers pads, Distress Glitters and some clearance embellishments when I was in London on vacation. So, if you are overloaded with supplies, I challenge you to start using up your stash instead of always buying the latest and greatest. I'm going to show you some quick and easy projects over the next 12 days that you can make using things you already own

Denami Designs Halloween Blog Hop

Welcome to my blog. I'm participating in the Denami Halloween Blog Hop this month. I'm so excited to be able to participate again. I've been quite busy building a new house, but things are moving along and I've had some time to create again lately!! 

I love Denami Stamps and I thought this Happy Halloween stamp with the spider web and spiders was just too cute. For this card I used a technique I haven't done in years on this card. First, I stamped the stamp using White Craft Ink onto black paper. Then, I colored over the stamped image with colored pencils. It's a really easy and fun technique to use and it works really well on black paper. I kept the rest of the card relatively simple to showcase the cute stamp. The papers are all from Pebbles Tricks and treats. The circle dies are Sizzix Framelits. 

Be sure to check out the rest of the participants on the hop and leave comments because 2 lucky commenters will receive a $20 gift certificate to the Denami Store.

Denami Designs Krazy for Kraft Blog Hop

Welcome to my blog. I'm participating in the Denami Designs Krazy for Kraft Blog Hop this month. I'm so excited to be able to participate again. I've been quite busy building a new house, but things are moving along and I've had some time to create again lately!! 

I love Denami Stamps and Kraft paper and the theme for this blog hop is Krazy for Kraft. I wanted to keep my card simple, because I love creating with blue and craft paper. I chose to use this pretty Cornflower Blue ink by Color Box with my beautiful large Denami butterfly and sentiment stamps. The craft paper and banner die are from PTI. The decorative paper is from the Studio Calico card kit. I used Stampin' Up foam tape to attach the banner and I used some color coordinating enamel dots from My Minds Eye to add a little extra to the card.
