Today I am sharing a card I created with products from Taylored Expressions who is giving away a $50.00 Gift Certificate!



It is a perfect time to be sending out our handmade cards to brighten someone's day! I started by creating my background with the Here Comes the Sun Stencil. Next I stamped the flowers and leaves from the  Beautiful Blossoms Stamp Set, colored with Copic Markers, and die cut with the Beautiful Blossoms Dies.


I used the Sending Sunshine Stamp Set and the Sending Script Die to add the sentiments. I finished off the card with a few Bits & Pieces - Drip Drops. 


Thanks for joining the hop and to all the amazing companies giving away prizes! Now it is time to hop on over to Natasha Valkovskaya Blog!

Pretty Pink Posh June Release Blog Hop - Day 1

Hi and welcome to the Pretty Pink Posh June Release Blog Hop! We are really excited to be releasing new stamp sets and dies inspired by Summer, new jewels, and four new stencils!

Be sure to leave a comment as you hop! There are 4 $25 gift certificates up for grabs (two winners each day). Winners will be picked randomly along the blog hop. Comments must be left by 11:59 PM PST on 6/17/2019. Winners will be announced on the PPP blog.


I have two cards to share with you today. The first one features the new Hibiscus Flowers Stamp Set.


I stamped the flowers and leaves on watercolor paper in Versamark Ink and embossed with white embossing powder. The images are colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and die cut with the Hibiscus Flowers Coordinating Dies. 


I created the background with the new Tropical Background Stencil. I cut a piece of pink cardstock for the card front and added a strip of white cardstock in the middle. Then I used the stencil with a light pink ink. The sentiment is die cut with the new Aloha Shaker Die. I cut a circle in the middle of the card and then attached the sentiments. I arranged the flowers and leaves around the Aloha Die and finished off the flowers with jewels from the pretty new Citrus Jewels Mix. 

My second card is created with the new Beach Scene Die and the new Triangles Stencil. I just cut the dies a number of times from different colored cardstock and then inlayed the pieces in the circle. So cute!


I used a blending tool and ink with the the stencil to create the background. The sentiment is from the Tropical Birds Stamp Set, stamped in Versamark Ink and embossed with white embossing powder. 

Here is the complete blog hop list for today:

Spellbinders New Collections Blog Hop


Hi and welcome the the Spellbinder New Collections Inspiration Blog Hop featuring the new Happy and Gilded Age Products! You should have arrived here from Jacquie Dean's Blog. You can find a full list of designers participating in the Hop below. 


My first card features the new Shapeabilites Sending a Happy Birthday Etched Dies Happy by Sharyn Sowell. This die set creates such a cute scene! I created the background for the 5 x 5 card front by stenciling clouds and adding a border of patterned paper at the bottom. 


All the die cuts I used to create this card are included in the Sending a Happy Birthday Etched Dies Set, including the sentiment. I cut the little girl twice, once from white cardstock and again from a teal cardstock. To create the dress I cut off the legs, arms, and head. I also die cut the sentiment twice, once from a bright pink cardstock and again from yellow cardstock. Then I layered the pink over the yellow, offsetting just a bit to leave the yellow shadow. 


My second card is created with the new Gilded Vines Glimmer Hot Foil Plate The Gilded Age by Becca Feeken. I used the Glimmer Hot Foil System and Glimmer Hot Foil in Skybright to foil the die. 


The sentiment is from the Captured Sentiments Clear Stamp Set. I accented the foil with clear sequins and lace. 

To celebrate this release, we are giving away a $50 gift certificate to 3 lucky blog readers – selected from the comments across all of the blogs in the hop. Giveaway closes on Sunday, April 7th 11:59 pm EDT. Winners will be announced in our blog hop post the following Monday. Winner is responsible for shipping cost, duties and taxes.

MFT's March Blog Hop and Shop

Welcome to MFT'S March Blog Hop and Shop!! If you came here from Joanne's Blog you are in the right place. If you would like to start at the beginning of the blog, hop on over to Kim's Blog.

I am using the new PI Daffodil, the third in the PI calendar series. I stamped the sweet image, colored her with Copics and paper pieced her dress. I used the small calendar template for the March Calendar.

I cut her out and popped her up for some dimension.

I used the Die-namics Sunshine Die and added a button tied with twine. The "March" sentiment is included in the set.

On the bottom I used the Perfect Bracket Border, cutting it twice, once with the DP and once with black. I added some stitching and lace strung with twine.

That is it for me! When you are ready to shop, you can find all the new products right HERE!

Now it is time to hop on over to one of the new members of our design team, the incredibly talented and just so sweet, Eva's Blog!!
