I Hope You're Feeling Better with The Craft's Meow

Today the second day we are taking a peek at the new May release from The Crafts Meow.  This card is made from the new Wildflowers set.
I colored the image with my Copic markers.  The papers are from the 6x6 On The Bright Side from My Mind's Eye.  The circle is cut and embossed with a Spellbinders Circle die.  I then added a little inking around the edges with the die still on the white paper' edge.  Here is a closer look.....
I really love the orange/coral color with the green and turquoise.  Hop on over to The Crafts Meow blog to check out the other fab creations with this set from the design team and also have a chance to win this beautiful set.

Hugs,
Amy

To God Be the Glory Card ~ The Craft's Meow

It is release week over at The Craft's Meow and I am really loving these new stamp sets.  Check out my card for today using the Beautiful Hymns Two stamp set....
This is a fairly simple card so that the sentiment has the spotlight.  I added it to the Vintage Label dies from My Creative Time along with some distressing and sewing.  the papers are from My Mind's Eye and I used a little bit of Flax bakers twine from The Twinery.  Here is a closer look.....
I added some embossing with the Swiss Dots embossing folder and my Cuttlebug.  I really like the peaceful feel of this card.  

Hop on over to The Craft's Meow blog to check out what the other talented designers have created and get entered in on the giveaway to win this set.

Thinking of You...

Today is Thoughtful Thursday over at My Creative Time.  I really love making these "thoughtful" cards.  Here is what I have created to share with you......
This was a quick and simple card to put together, but with stunning results.  I used the Stitched Journaling die in the background, the Stitched Daisy Die and the Vintage Sentiments stamp set.  I added a little shading to the flower centers for depth and finished the card off with a little ribbon and a button.  Here is a closer look......

Hop on over to the My Creative Time blog to check out the other Thoughtful card the super talented design team has created, too.  Don't forget that I have a giveaway still going on HERE.....there are three prizes up for grabs!!

Peachy Keen Stamps and SVG Cutting Files Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to my blog!!  Today I am hopping with Peachy Keen Stamps and SVG Cutting Files....what a great combination!!  If you came from Trixie Hulm's blog, you are in the right spot.  If this is your first stop and you want to join in, hop on back to the Peachy Keen Stamps blog to get started.  

I have some fun little treat boxes to share with you today that I created with the Cake Pop Treat Holder box from SVG Cutting Files, except, I used mine to hold bags of Swedish fish......
I decorated these with the Sea Life animals and the coral and starfish from the Mermaids file.  I added a little bit of inking to each piece for more dimension.  The faces are from the June 2012 SOTM (one of my very favorites) from Peachy Keen Stamps.  I added some chalking to the cheeks and white pen to fill in the eyes.  Here is a little bit of a closer look at each one......

 


I was able to cut the treat box as large as I could to measure about 6 1/2 inches tall by 2 inches wide and 2 inches deep (the largest I could get it on my Cameo 12x12 mat).  I covered the front with embossed and sanded Core'dinations cardstock.  The sun is cut from a Silhouette file....I added some glitter to the center of the sun with Stickles.  I tied the box up with some Flax and Denim bakers twine from The Twinery.

To the inside of the box, I added a bag and some bulk Swedish fish.  Here is a peek inside......
There is a fab giveaway going on for everyone that leaves comments along the hop......two $35 Gift Certificates are up for grabs (one from Peachy Keen Stamps and one from SVG Cutting Files).  So, don't forget to leave a comment.  

Now it is time to hop on over to Gwen Lords' blog to see what she is sharing with you today.  Have fun!!

Taylored Expressions May Key Ingredients Blog Hop

Hello and welcome!!  Today is another fabulous round of projects with the May Key Ingredients and the May Stamp of the month from Taylored Expressions.  
I really love the combo of these two together.  Take a look at the card I created with them......

The papers in the May Key Ingredients kit are from the Echo Park Sweet Girl 6x6 pad.  Love how well the matching cardstock and ribbon go with it.  I used my Copic markers to color this stamped image from the Cutie Pie stamp set which is May's Stamp of the Month.  You can combine these two fabulous kits for the Deluxe Subscription at a discounted price.  CLICK HERE for all the details.  To finish off the card, I used a paper doily, some stitching with my sewing machine and a green button. Here is a closer look....

Now, it is time to hop on to Carole Burrage's blog to see what she has put together with these awesome products.

Here is the full blog hop list:
Have fun!!
