3 Designers, 1 Stamp Set (Mini blog hop)

Welcome to this mini blog hop! Marie, Britta and myself are showcasing the stamp set “Critters on the Farm” by Lawn Fawn! You should have come from the sweet and talented Marie's blog.

I had this idea for quite some time, but was hesitant because I never made this kind of folded card. Finally, I took the courage and made this step fold card which is perfect to create a scene. After making this card, I felt I was part of the scene, somehow. It seems so peaceful and all about loving life, hence came the sentiment. It comes from this stamp set.




I really enjoyed creating this card.The next stop on your hop is the wonderful Britta.

We have been sponsored by Lawn Fawn, and we are giving away a “Critters on the Farm” stamp set to one lucky winner. Thank you Kelly Marie!! Be sure to comment at each blog for your chance to win. You have till May 14th (Monday), at 11:59 pm CDT time, to leave your comments. The winner will be announced on May 16th.

To start from the beginning, and to see how you can get some extra chances to win the prize we are offering, please go to Marie’s blog.

Hope you are inspired by our mini hop. Thanks for dropping by!

Lets Chill

My first card for the "Fold It, Pop It, Flip It, Zip It!" class.
I don't usually make shaped cards, so this is fun experience! Julie showed us to make this free standing platform card, which actually fits a normal envelop when folded. I am submitting it for the challenges at Hero Arts and Moxie Fab Card Creation Week (Splatter Challenge)

Here how it looks folded. I just love the colors and the splatters, which I created using my home made mist.Oh!! I used my first Washi Tape too:)


When you pop it open, it can sit on the table and I just love that. I did a lot of Copic coloring and had a fun time.


Hope you like it too. Thanks for dropping by and if you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comment section:)

My Love

Here is another card I made while enjoying the Spirit of NSD yesterday:) Since I had my new Paper Smooches set Hubby and Wifey out and it has so many possibilities, I thought of making this card for the following challenges:
Paper Smooches Blog: NSG Contest- Card Stock Only

So when I look at the Cake base stamp, it could make a frame for my image I thought, what do you think of it? Then just some tone on tone stamping, some glitter and a pretty card is ready:)





 Thanks for taking the time to visit. Your comments sure do motivate me to try harder.

Happy Birthday

Hello Everyone! Hope you all enjoyed the NSD yesterday. I never actually knew what it was but yesterday could see lots been going on at different blogs etc.

I made a card as to participate in a few challenges I love.
Paper Smooches Blog: NSD Contest - Card stock only (No pattern paper) they are giving away beautiful paper, which I would so love to try.
CAS-ual Friday: Happy Birthday
Simon Says Stamp Blog: Happy Birthday
2P's NSD Challenge #5: Bright Colors

I used my newest set from Paper Smooches Hubby and Wifey, which I won over at Emily's blog. Thanks Emily and Kim. Its a great set with so many cute and small stamps. I could see some butterflies fluttering as soon as I saw those cute flowers, so I embossed them with white Embossing powder, fussy cut and adhered 2 of these together to give this lovely 3 D look. I used the background stamp sent to me by my sweet friend Marie. Thanks Marie! 


Hope you like what I created. Thanks for stopping by:)

Singing in the Rain

I love the song...I'm singin' in the Rain, and when I saw the Jane's Doodles new stamp set, it was perfect. So last week I got the new stamps from my win. Thanks Jane and Judith.

I made the card using The Raindrops set and I have to tell you that these stamps are real good quality. The stamped image is perfect. I made this card for the following challenges:
The Lily Pad blog : Rain Theme
The Young Crafters Challenge Blog: No Coloring:)



I used the glove and Hat from Lawn Fawn stamps. On the blue background, I stamped some Rain drops, which is not quite visible in the photo.
Thanks for stopping by.

3 countries, 3 designers, 1 stampset

What do you get when you take three designers, from three different countries, and one stamp set? Well, 3 different, great looking cards of course;)

Britta, Marie and I will each be creating a card using the same stamp set – "Critters on the Farm" from Lawn Fawn. We may use sentiments or small details from other stamp sets, but the main focus of our cards will be the "Critters on the Farm" set. On May 10th, we will show our cards on our blogs, and have a little mini blog hop to showcase our designs.  
 
There will also be a prize for one lucky commenter on the hop, sponsored by Lawn Fawn. Thank you Kelly!

We hope to see you back for our mini blog hop showcasing different cards made using "Critters on the Farm" on May 10th!

Thanks for stopping by!
