H{ippity} Hop Blast from the past!

Hello!  The project I made for today I decided to submit for publication, so I decided to show some cards I made last year for the Holidays!  These were  few of my favorites.  I hope I don't bore you with projects that some of you may have seen last year!  I am sure that they will be new to some of my newer followers.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Christmas card set EAD style!

Hello!  Today I have a set of cards I made with a stickerz sheet from EAD designs.  I need some quick cards to since I had no more Christmas cards left to send!  One thing I love about these stickers is the clear background and the fact that they are repositionable. LOVE that!  I added some bling and some satin ribbon to some of them, and kept the layouts CAS.
I have never been a fan of stickers but I must say I LOVE EAD.  They end up looking like rub-ons without the hassle!  AND...they are very reasonably priced-only $2.50!!!!

Thanks for stopping by!

EIC117-Paper Seeds (and roses)!

Hello!  Time for another Etsy Inspired Challenge.  This week our shop for you inspiration is Paper Seeds.  They have some fabulous creations in their store.  I was inspired by the piece below.  I made a simple rolled rose out of pink cardstock and punched some leaves from scraps of green paper (think it is always artichoke).  The sentiment and dots are stamps from The Stamps Of Life.  Easy peasy and super simple!

Our sponsor this week is Digi's With Attitude.  They have sassy, sweet and sexy digi's in their shop!  We hope you play along, and if you do, please link your project to the EIC blog HERE.  There will be two prizes this week.  One person will win a $10 gift voucher to the Digi's With Attitude store and another winner will win THIS vase and flowers from Paper Seeds.  Ashley will pick two random winners next Friday.

Make sure you welcome our December guest designer, Laurel Beard!

Go get crafty!

New release from The Stamps Of Life!

The Stamps Of Life club set this month is PERFECT for Valentine's Day!  LOVE it!  I love the large sentiment's and my favorite font from Holly4Christmas!  This set is called hearts2love.  I made two very CAS card's using the same sentiment.  One is rather cutesy, while the other is elegant.  LOVE that these stamps are so versatile.  Club members will get this set for $10.95, but if you are not a club member and still have to have it, you still only pay $12.95.  Remember...only $1 to ship!

Christmas cards a la Donna Salazar style!

Hello!  Today I have some cards using Donna Salazar's Weathered Winter collection.  I just love her shabby chic style, and her beautiful papers make it easy to whip up some vintage looking holiday cards.
This paper collection is a must have for your vintage holiday projects and is priced right at only $3.79!  

I distressed the edges of the the papers with my Tim Holtz distressing tool and inked up the edges with distress inks.  The first card has some May Arts black burlap string tied around, and the second has some hemp cord tied in a bow.

Make sure you check out all of the other fabulous product that Paper Maniac has to offer!

Hippity Hop- Bitty Pixie Paisley!

Hello!  Happy Hippity Hop!  Here is a card I made using the Bitty Pixie Paisley.  I love the sentiment and I love the paisley with the brown and baja breeze!  I sponged some distress inks around the edges and tied a big satin bow on top.  Easy peasy!

Another TSOL friends card!

Scroll down for my Etsy post!

Hello!  I have another card using the friends4ever stamps set from The Stamps Of Life!  I LOVE this set.  I am a sucker for botanical themed stamps, so the leaves in this set just make me happy!  I also love that there are so many friend sentiments.  I made my own DP by stamping the small and large leaf on the olive paper.

This card is for the IC challenge over on SCS.  I was inspired by THIS place setting.  You can find the friends4ever set HERE and a photo below!

edit:  the image of the stamp set has been removed since there was not a watermark on it. I found out that people were copying it. Sorry!

Thanks for stopping by!
