Pink By Design Release Blog Hop

Hello there peeps--I know it's been awhile but now I know I will have more time to craft--long story but if you all could just keep me in your prayers I would be forever grateful.  Now on to the real point of this post--the PINK BY DESIGN NEW RELEASE BLOG HOP!  There are so many great projects for you all today and mine of course is simple and easy.

This stamp set is so cute.  Full of fun sentiments that will bring a smile to every kid and kid at heart's face.  I also used a spring mount from Closet to My Heart on the Dino to make him pop off and wiggle.
The Dino shapes are perfect for coloring but I stamped on a pattern paper and colored in his spots.
This set is called DINO-MITE

  I will be using this sentiment again but next time with a turtle die cut how cute will that be!
Your next stop on this blog hop is the last and it is over at PINK BY DESIGN BLOG just click through.  Don't forget we have a live u-stream tonight at 7:30 CST on the Pink by Design channel.  You must check it out--they are always such fun.  We will be making a project as well and all that you need is listed over at Pink by Design Blog!

Pink By Design Valentine's Day Blog Hop

Hey Hey there--it's Valentine's Day and we are bring you a great blog hop brought to you by Pink By Design!  I am stop number two!

I made a really simple but fun card to make--and I love the finished product.

 It's a simple A2 white card base but easily dressed up.  I started by stamping the sentiment in the corner.  Then I stamped the sub on white and in the pattern paper.  Once I selected the portions I wanted to be patterned I simply cut it out and glued it on.  I used some CTMH glitter gel in the small circles (which actually have hearts under them).  

I then used the bubble stamp and CTMH Ruby ink to stamp the air bubbles.  I took glassy accents and added drops to each to make the shiny and pretty cool if you ask me.

I attached the sub to the card with a wobbler--I simply love these things!

This week I am giving away a D sized CTMH stamp set and if any of this weeks post get 50 plus comments I will give away another each of those posts as well--so many chances to win all you have to do is leave a comment! Easy right?

OK so your next top on the blog hop is :

Morning! Today I have a card I made for a very special little girl named Avery--my god daughter and a pure bundle of joy.  At one she has four teeth and can sign "more" and "please."  Such a smart little girl.  She is in LOVE with Minnie Mouse so this project was perfect for her first birthday!

So I used some pop dotes to add some dimension to the cuts--

which you can kind of tell from the pictures.  I also used glassy accents on the dots to give them some bling--every girl needs a little bling--

Don't forget that every comment is an entry for that stamp set and if we hit 50 comments on any given post this week I will do a second giveaway!  Leave those comments--

Make it a great one-

Trick of the Trade Monday.....

Well it's Monday and I am still in NYC this week.  I had some time of the New Year's Holiday to get a few projects done.  One of the bits of info I have learned from some friends that work for a very large card company is that keeping the color combo simple is one of the first keys to having a hit on your hands.  Today's card used that idea as its core--a simple saleable color combo--RED and CREAM

Stamp set is CTMH Mad About You (S1112) an old Stamp of the month

Cricut cut is from the CTMH Art Philosophy Cartridge (p 25) which I cut and layered by 1/4"

The Red paper and ink are both the Ruby Color from CTMH.

Pattern paper is Lilybee Designs North Pole CCP276

Ribbon is old CTMH Colonial White Grosgrain


Have a great week, make it the best yet (even though it is only the first week of the year)-
