Mother's Day Inspiration Blog Hop

Welcome to the Mother's Day Inspiration Blog Hop. We're making projects we like, using products we like!! Be sure to check out all the blogs for tons of crafty Mother's Day Inspiration. 

On my card I used papers from Kaisercraft's Flora Delight Paper Pad. I love it because it has purple in the color scheme. Purple is my favorite color, but it's hard to find in decorative papers. I used a negative die cut of the Stampin' Up Label Die and I punched a large scallop circle from one of the papers with my Stampin' Up large scallop punch. The other items were all in the paper pad. My favorite thing about this paper pad is all the extras in the back were perforated, so I just pushed them out - no fussy cutting. I wish they were all like that! The sentiment is from Hero Arts.

Sequin Shaker Blog Hop

I made this CAS card for the Sequin Shaker Blog Hop over at Pretty Pink Posh. I used the major jar die and stamps from the Papertrey Ink Friendship Jar set. I colored the lid with Copic markers. In the jar I used sequins from Pretty Pink Posh (Springtime Mix) and Studio Calico. The green paper is Certainly Celery form Stampin' Up.

Unity April Be Inspired Challenge

I made this card for the April Unity Be Inspired Card Sketch Challenge. I used a stamp from the Unity March Kit of The Month. It's and awesome kit and so is the March SMAK kit. And, they're both on sale now, you might want to check them out. I colored the image with Copics and used DCWV Spring & Summer Stack papers. Thanks for stopping by!

Here's my card.

DCWV April Sketch Challenge

I made this card for the DCWV April Sketch Challenge. I love these challenges because I really like to mix patterned papers and DCWV has great paper. The flower is a new to me Spellbinders Flower Die that I got on sale when I went to see Dyan Reaveley at Dorothy's Stamps & Scraps last month in Boiling Springs, NC. She has an amazing LSS and I wish it was closer to me. I used DCWV papers from the the Spring & Summer Stack that I got on sale at Joann's last week. I love to actually use the things I buy. The sentiment is from the Tim Holtz Hashtags stamp set and the cabochon is from my Studio Calico monthly card kit. Thanks for stopping by!

Prima Doll Tag

I made this tag for the current Curtain Call Challenge - Confetti Crush. I bought a few of these Prima Doll Stamps because I just think they are so cute. This one is #8 and her name is Olive. Today I got an order from Ellen Hutson that had my Julie Nutting Tag Pad. It's a pad of tags made just for these girls. I really liked the tag because it had a coating on it so it was very strong. When I use it again I will cover it with Mod Podge or Gesso because the slick coating doesn't take ink sprays very well. 

I stamped and stenciled and used ink sprays to create the background. I colored her with Copics and paper pieced her outfit and added sequins to her shoes and a clear butterfly to her skirt. I also gave her a rhinestone necklace. Then I added the green and peach colored sequins around her for my "confetti". I used Tim Holtz Chit Chat stickers for the sentiment. Finally, I inked the edges and added some trim to the bottom and the top of the tag. Thanks for stopping by!
