DeNami Pretty Pastels Blog Hop!!!!

Hello to all!  It's time for another fabulous DeNami blog hop!  This month our challenge was all about pretty pastels!  This time of year is a GREAT time to work with pastel colors, so I was super excited to try my hand at this challenge!

If you are just stumbling on this blog hop right now, head back HERE to start from the beginning!  If you've been hopping along you should have come here from the amazing blog of Wendy Elliot!  I'm sure her project was just fabulous!  Don't forget to leave a comment on each blog for a chance to win a $20 DeNami gift certificate!  =)

For this month's card, I chose to focus on aqua, pink, and yellow as my pastel colors!  I used several different DeNami stamps, and here's the finished product: 
I'm still just LOVING that three line border stamp!  My homemade yellow flower comes from the large daisy blossom and the small daisy blossom!  I stamped them, cut them out, flipped them over, and colored them with yellow copics!  I sewed a button into the middle, and pulled up the petals for a more textural effect.  It's hard to tell in the picture, but the flower sticks out really great and uses several shades of yellow to create a more realistic flower effect! 

I hope you enjoyed this card!  Let's get you hopping along!  Next up on the hop is lovely Rochelle Washington, and I'm sure she has something absolutely fabulous lined up for you!!!  Happy hopping everyone!

Denami April Blog Hop!!!

Hello hello blogland!  It's time for another fabulous DeNami blog hop!  This month we were given the challenge of doing something fabulous with ribbon!  I just love LOVE using fun ribbons, so I was super excited to try my hand at this challenge!

If you are just stumbling on this blog hop right now, head back HERE to start from the beginning!  If you've been hopping along you should have come here from the amazing blog of Pattie Goldman!  I'm sure her project was just fabulous!  Don't forget to leave a comment on each blog for a chance to win a $20 DeNami gift certificate!  =)

I wanted to try my hand at a card that used a lot of white, especially with it being in full spring here!  I also wanted to show how to use ribbons in a few ways, so here's what I came up with:
Aren't those little chickies just adorable?  I made a wrinkled ribbon bow and also added some fun twine to it and an AMAZING Denami Boutique button!  I also added some yellow satin ribbon under the chickie strip for some added dimension and texture. Finish off with a fun background colored with copics and some bling, and its done!  =)

I hope you enjoyed this fun spring-y card!  Let's get you hopping along!  Next up on the hop is lovely Carol Hartery, and I'm sure she has something absolutely fabulous lined up for you!!!  Happy hopping everyone!

DeNami March Blog Hop Time!!! =D

Hello hello blogland!  It's time for another fabulous DeNami blog hop!  This month, the fabulous theme is everything and anything BIRTHDAY!  I absolutely love making birthday projects using DeNami stamps and accessories!
If you are just stumbling on this blog hop right now, head back HERE to start from the beginning!  If you've been hopping along you should have come here from the amazing blog of Paulina Nakamura!  Her projects are always so SO incredible and I hope that I don't disappoint after her fabulousness!  =)  Don't forget to leave a comment on each blog for a chance to win a $20 DeNami gift certificate!  =)

So I recently picked up a few new DeNami goodies and so I tried several of them out on this very spring-inspired birthday card:
I really like the three-line border stamp and think that stamping it with disress ink gives a really cool patterned paper effect!  I also love the solid scallop circle as well - that stamp has so many possibilities!  And of course I had to add just a little bling and buttons!!!!  =)

I hope you enjoyed my project!  It just shows how entirely versatile DeNami stamps can be!  Now, let's get you hopping along!  Next up on the hop is lovely Tenia Nelson and I'm sure she has something absolutely fabulous lined up for you!!!

You're my Cup of Tea!!!!

Why hello there bloggers!  The beginning of this year has been SO super busy!  Of course, I've been making time to make my Valentines!  Here's one that I made to play along with a few of my favorite challenges!  I really couldn't wait to use Lawn Fawn's "My Cup of Tea" set for Valentine's Day this year!  Here's how the card turned out:


How cute are these stamps?  I stacked the sentiment -- I think it looks just great that way!  I also just love that paper from Echo Park too!  =)
I played along with the following FUN and awesome challenges:
1.  Lawnscaping #27 - Inspiration Photo
2.  Young Crafter's Unite #6:  I turned the sketch just a little, so that the sentiment was vertical instead of horizontal!  =)

  
3. Tuesday Throwdown #84 - Be My Valentine

I hope that you are all having a fabulous weekend!  Stay warm!  =)
