CTMH-- June Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Welcome to the Close To My Heart Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for June 2012, featuring Life is Tweet!
 


All artwork on the hop will feature Life is Tweet!  This is a set of 15 stamps, featuring whimsical birds and wonderful sentiments!  It is a must have :)  If you have come here from Debra's blog you are on the right path.

Today I'm sharing a card that I created for my daughter's birthday.  She turned 4 on Tuesday and I wanted to make her a card using the super cute bird in this set.  
I used up some older papers to make it fit her girly, spunky personality.  Her favorite color is pink of course, so I found some pink patterned paper from That's Amore & Daydream (retired) as well as the Zebra print from Roxy.  
I stamped the bird in black ink onto the lighter pink paper, then again in Hollyhock on the darker pink, then cut it out and adhered it over the black image.  I used some pink sparkles for it's eye.  The party hat was also stamped in Hollyhock and I used foam tape to raise it up.  On the inside I stamped "it's your birthday" along with some balloons.
I cut out the frame image from the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge to stamp the sentiment, then raised it with foam tape as well.  






She just loved her birdie card :)


I helped my son create a card for his sister as well.  He wanted to cut a Princess (from Once Upon A Princess) and then he stamped the green swirls and "Little Princess" from our retired "Little Princess" stamp set.  


And here's my princess and I on her Birthday :)

CTMH- Everything ABC's Blog Hop- E is for Easter

Welcome to the Everything ABC's Blog Hop! For this hop we will be featuring the letter E. This may be the name of a paper, a stamp set or an embellishment. Whatever the crafter has chosen as their E element will be featured in their post. If you have just hopped onto my blog, you can start at the beginning at Amber's blog ~ Scrapper's Therapy  If you came from Shelly ~ Just One Piece then you're on the right track! E is for EASTER You may recall a few months ago, I posted a couple layouts from the baby album I am making for my niece.... well she's now 3 months old and I only finished through 4 months!  I have some work to do..... Today I created an Easter Layout using THIS layout as my inspiration.  The Chantilly paper pack is perfectly girly and springy!  I cut two strips of the green pattern, then sliced it up to make it look like grass.  Using Art Philosophy, I cut out a bunch of different eggs in 1 1/2", 1 3/4" and ...

CTMH- Washi Tape Card

Do you WASHI???   Washi Tape is one of the new and super trendy products being used.  I'm not afraid to jump on the bandwagon :)  CTMH now has a Slate Polka-Dot Washi Tape (and I HOPE there are lots more to come!!!)  I also have picked up a couple others at Michaels recently. This weeks Color My Heart Color Dare is JUNIPER.  I decided to use Juniper as the accent color for my card today. I used the black banner stamp set from Artiste Kudos , CTMH's Slate Washi Tape , CTMH's Silver Shimmer Trim and a black arrow washi tape.  The sentiment is from Artiste Birthday , stamped in Juniper, then popped on foam tape. A simple card like this, called for some dressing up of the inside too.  I stamped Happy Birthday from Perfect Fit Birthday and added some Slate Washi Tape to the bottom. Head over to Color My Heart to check out the other color dare entries :)
