Layered Flowers Technique Blog Hop

Welcome to our Technique Blog Hop where we are featuring artwork showcasing "Layered Flowers". With such a broad topic, it's going to be fun to see what everyone has created to share.  

If you are coming from Darlys's Blog, you are on the right track. You can find a complete list of participants at the bottom of this post. 

For my card, I was immediately drawn to using the Layered Flowers Thin Cuts. Incorporating the Wild Berry Glitter Paper and cardstock, and some additional embellishments, it is screaming Spring. 

I included some Silver Glitter Gems, White Dots, and the Wild Berry Flower Sequins, adding dimension with some Foam Tape. 

Head over to see what Katy has created to share with you, on her blog. 

Happy hoppin'!

Heart 2 Heart Challenge: Wildberry (Color of the Year)

Welcome to Heart 2 Heart's first Challenge of 2022! I hope you will consider joining us in all the fun this year! Each month we host an artwork challenge, based upon a theme, on the 1st and 3rd Monday. By posting your artwork on social media, and then linking up to the challenge on the Heart 2 Heart Blog, we can be inspired by your creativity. 

Let's get started with the first challenge of the year entitled "Wild Berry". If you are unaware, Wildberry is Close To My Heart's Color of the Year. The image above contains the coordinating products offered in this beautiful and vibrant color. If you have it, consider incorporating it into your artwork OR feel free to interpret the theme as you choose. It's always fun to see a "spin" on the topic. 

On this card, I used Wild Berry Cardstock, Loose Sequins, and Glitter Paper. The "gray", aka Mink, accents are from the November-December Mix-Ins Paper Packet.  

I have really enjoyed making Shaker Cards recently and love how this card turned out with the stamp images coming from the Peace and Love Stamp Set + Thin Cuts.

I appreciate you stopping by my Blog and hope you like this card. Consider leaving a comment and then join the creative challenge at Heart 2 Heart. I look forward to viewing your creation! 

Boo Crew Blog Hop

Welcome to our Blog Hop where we are featuring a special called "Boo Crew". This Halloween-themed product collection is totally adorable and fun spooky, all at the same time. 

These products are available through the end of October and can be purchased separately, or you can save 25% when you purchase a Bundle.

If you are coming from Blenda's Blog, you are on the right track. You can make your way around the hop circle to view some fantastic artwork. Should you get lost, you can find a list of all participants here. 

And...pssst...we are also allowed to give you a sneak peek of some new products coming your way September 1st and I have done just that! 

Meet Zoey! She is one of our NEW Halloween Besties and she has some friends who are joining her in the September/October Supplemental Idea Book which will go live, to the general public, on Septembere 1st! I could not resist using her as she, and her coordinating stamp images, pair perfectly with Boo Crew. Isn't she adorable?

I love the fun color combinations in this paper pack to include: Ballerina, Black, Nectarine, White Daisy, and Wild Berry. 

This fun-fold card has a different way of opening and I totally love it. It was great for putting her as the focal point, with the colorful papers, while then having a place for the ghoul-friend sentiment (don't you love that?!) and a hand-written message.

I colored her in using Watercolor Pencils and couldn't resist adding some Clear Shimmer Brush for added sparkle. I couldn't resist adding some Black Dots for her antennaes, a COMING SOON Flower Sequin, and a Bitty Sparkle in the middle. I love the happy of this resulting card and hope you do too! 

To get a copy of the NEW Core (yearlong) AND September/October Supplemental Idea Books, simply place an order on your Makers website, of any size, and you'll get it FREE! (Be sure to sign into your account and you'll see it automatically add to your cart before checking out.) The NEW products will be released September 1st!

Now, head on over to Melinda's Blog to see what she has created to share with you. 

Happy hopping!
