CardMaker and Lil' Inker Designs Hop

Good morning! It's blog hop time again for the CardMaker Blog Design Team - today we are partnering up with another one of my favorite companies (and yet another of my current Design Teams) - Lil' Inker Designs! You should have arrived here from Jen Carter - full blog hop is at the bottom so you can check out every stop.


I made a couple simple thank you cards combining some of the most recent release with some previously released items!


I absolutely love the new Wreath of Roses Stamp Set - and while it is lovely colored, once I started putting these together I loved the simple intricacy of them on these cards. So lovely to have a stamped image that can stand on it's own with no coloring! I used the coordinating Wreath of Roses Dies to cut them out, using my MISTI to line them up perfectly.


I used Diamond Lace Cover Up Die to cut the background out of white cardstock. Layered on my white cardbase this gave a great bit of texture without being overwhelming in the entire design.


Sentiment is from Mom and Dad Sentiments Stamp Set, heat embossed in white on a strip of black cardstock. Some pretty pattern paper from Lawn Fawn make a great backing for the wreaths so that they pop. I adhered the wreath and sentiment with foam tape, then adhered the other layers leaving the edges loose and curling them up a bit for dimension. A bit of jute twine finish these off!


Your next stop along the hop is Lisa Henke - but make sure and leave a comment before you leave. Here is the prize that is up for grabs! YAY!

CardMaker and Lawn Fawn Valentine Hop

Good morning! This morning I get to be part of a fun blog hop with the CardMaker Blog Design Team featuring Lawn Fawn's recent Valentine Release! I was thrilled at CHA a few weeks ago to not only get to stop by the Lawn Fawn booth and do a make and take - but to actually meet the super sweet and fun Kelly Marie! Lawn Fawn is definitely an extension of her bubbly and happy personality - she was just as I imagined! And the booth was CRAZY cute too!

I got to play with the darling Stitched Heart Envelope Die and Love Letters Stamp Set - I used elements of both to put this card together:


I knew I wanted to use that darling envelope - but decided to use it as an element on an A2 card front, instead of it's more obvious use as a small note card envelope. Now, this die is slightly too large to fit on a 6x6 piece of pattern paper - BUT, when it is folded into the envelope, you can't see if you actually miss a tiny bit on each side of the heart! So I was able to cut the pattern paper I wanted, despite the fact that it was just slightly too small.


I tucked the scallop notecard inside, added the heart and arrow element from the same die set, and then heat embossed and trimmed down a sentiment from Love Letters. Some fun Crate Paper pattern paper, a doily, and some jute twine - not to mention plenty of foam tape! - finish this card off!

Cardmaker/Riley & Co Blog Hop

Good morning! Excited to be part of a fun blog hop with the CardMaker Blog Design Team and Riley & Co. stamps. This was my first time using this brand - and I loved the super fun little moose image and fun sentiments I received in my package!


I colored the Basic Moose up with my Zig markers, die cut him with the coordinating die, and added a bow tie from the dress up stamp set that was included, also die cut with the coordinating dies.


The super cute 6 Million Dollars sentiment was stamped and heat embossed in white on a Word Bubble Dies - Square I received.


Did a distress ink smooshed background, mounted the sentiment panel directly onto that after adding some jute twine wrapped around and tied in a bow, then mounted the moose on foam adhesive for a touch of dimension.


Here is the entire blog hop line-up so you can follow along and see all the fun inspiration!
