Ribbon Carousel Blog Hop with Your Next Stamp

Happy Wednesday!  Thank you for popping my way on the Ribbon Carousel/Your Next Stamp hop!  By leaving comments along the way, you are in the running for some great prizes!  Check out the RC blog for full details, but let me just say, there is a lovely Ribbon Carousel involved!!

For my card, I used more of the fabulous Bazzil Card Shoppe cardstock.  Starting with a Marshmallow card base, I added strips of Circus Peanuts, Banana Split, Cotton Candy, Candy Hearts and Robin's Egg to my card front.  I then topped it with a panel with a circle window, popped up with foam.

I then colored and cut out the cute little stamp, Fairy Fiona and popped her up, as well as my sentiment taken from The Craft's Meow's Vintage Ride set.  Lastly, I added some Orange Divine Twine from the RC shop to finish it off.

I hope you've enjoyed, be sure to continue on the hop for more inspiration and a chance to win.  Have a great day!

Hello!  Thank you for sticking around this week for all of the previews of these fabulous stamp sets!  If you are participating in the hop, you should have arrived from Karen Baker's fabulous blog, if not go here for all of the details.  

For my final project, I used Nina's Stitched Flowers and Stitched Sentiments and created a masculine hello card.  To start, I stamped the branches and colored the leaves in with a dark green Copic marker.  I then stamped the sentiment and colored it in with a white gel pen, accenting the leaves with the pen as well.

I hope you are as excited about this months release as I am!  Such fun stamp sets!  If you would like a chance to win all six sets, leave a comment on each members blog.  You have until Sunday June 24th to do so.  Also, the set Summer Fun is the free gift with purchase if you spend $50 or more.

The Craft's Meow Release Previews- Oh Deer & Summer Fun

Hi!  I am back again with the two final sets available tomorrow from The Craft's Meow!  The first set is designed my none other than our very own Amy Wanford, called Oh Deer.  It is adorable!  The second, by Kaitlyn Ord is a summer delight, offering images perfect for summer invitations to parties and cookouts.  

For Amy's set, I used a white panel, trimmed down, and paper pieced the cute little deer with some woodgrain patterned paper.  I then stamped the stump and grass, along with the butterflies.  I then colored these in with Copic Markers.  

Lastly, I stamped my sentiment across the front and adhered the panel to a white card base with foam adhesive.

For Kaitlyn's set, I started with a white card base and using Tumbled Glass distress ink and some cloud die cuts from printer paper, created a sky background.

I then took some green cardstock from Bazzill and created some layered grass, to which I added a stamped and cut out image of the grill.  I then tied some twine around the top and stamped BBQ in yellow.

Since this is an invite to summer fun, I couldn't forget the inside!  I stamped the You're Invited in black ink and then shadow stamped the grill again, also in black.

I hope you have enjoyed today's set previews!  Be sure to stop by the TCM blog and leave a comment for a chance to win one of these sets!  I will see you tomorrow for the blog hop!  Have a great day!

The Craft's Meow Release Preview- Lovely Labels

Hello and welcome!  Today is day three of the previews for the stamp sets being released from The Craft's Meow for the month of June.  You can check out the deets here, at The Craft's Meow's Blog.  Today's set is illustrated by a talented new member of The Craft's Meow family, Elizabeta Kushner and is called Lovely Labels 14!  You guessed it, it matches up with Spellbinder's Labels 14 dies! 

This set is a larger set (6x8) and comes with many great images.  I chose to use some of the flowers and one of the great sentiments for my card today.

After stamping my sentiment onto Bazzill's Marshmallow cardstock, I masked off my flowers and ran them diagonally down my white panel then colored them in with Copic markers.  Lastly, I popped it up onto a gold card base.



Now, for a chance to win this set, please visit The Craft's Meow blog, if you haven't already, and leave a comment!  Thank you for joining me here today.  Have a great one!

The Craft's Meow Release Preview- Stitched Flowers & Stitched Sentiments

Welcome back to day two of previews for The Craft's Meow!  Today, I have two sets designed by NinaB Designs called Stitched Flowers and a small 4x4 set called Stitched Sentiments.  Both work really well together.

For Stitched Flowers, I started with a plain white card base and stamped my image in Tuxedo Black.  I then masked it off and stamped it again at an angle.  I then colored them and added a sentiment from Stitched Sentiments.

For my next project, I went with a simple rainbow effect using the birthday greeting from Stitched Sentiments.  I selectively inked "Birthday" and stamped it down the left side of my card.  I then finished it off with some red twine from the Ribbon Carousel shop.

I hope you have enjoyed, thank you so much for stopping by.  Be sure to visit The Craft's Meow Blog and leave a comment there for a chance to win one of these sets.

The Craft's Meow Release Preview- God's Blessing

Hey there!  I have been a very bad blogger!  So many things happening this summer, I tell ya!  This week I will be sharing some projects with the latest offerings from The Craft's Meow.  We are joined this month by some fabulous guests, Larissa Heskett & Gayatri Murali!  Be sure to stop by their blogs to see their creations.  For today, I have a card using a lovely set designed by Karen Baker, called God's Blessing.  This set is lovely, here is what I did.

To start, I used my new favorite cardstock from Bazzill called Marshmallow for my card base.  You can find it here.  I then added some floral papers from the October Afternoon's 9 to 5 paper pad.

I left the center area open and stamped the large flourish along with my sentiment, adding a little butterfly that I received in the June Studio Calico Kit.  Now, be sure to head over to The Craft's Meow blog and leave a comment for a chance to win this set.

RCC56- Birthday Bash With Jessie!

Hey there!  Long time no post!  I certainly love summer for it's long days and warm weather, but it doesn't help me keep up with my poor blog.  Today, there is a new challenge up over at the Ribbon Carousel blog and this week Jessie is challenging us to make it all about birthday cards!!  I can't seem to make enough birthday cards, and I am sure you are the same, so here is the perfect challenge to pull out that birthday stuff and some ribbon and play along with us.

To start, I used some MME On the Sunny Side 6x6 pad from the store and adhered some strips to the top and bottom of my cardstock, which, by the way, is from the NEW Bazzill Card Shoppe paper pack.  This cardstock is my new fav, I am in love!  The colors are so bold and fun, check it out here.

I then, tied around some Divine Twine, also in the store, and added a colored and cut out giraffe and some fun letter stickers from OA.

This is the card I gave to my sweet niece, Haley, for her 2nd birthday.  Love the bright colors from those papers.  I hope you decide to play along with us, there is always a fab prize from the store for the winner!

Have a great day!
