NinaB Designs January 2013 Blog Hop

Welcome to the NinaB Designs* first team blog hop of 2013! We hope you have had a relaxing holiday break and ready to join us for another year of inspirations and prizes!

*NinaB Designs is a product designer for a few paper crafting companies including Spellbinders, Want2Scrap and Penny Black, and The Craft's Meow.

For this month's hop, Nina challenged the team to create a project with the LOVE theme, which can be interpreted in many ways: Valentine, Anniversary and Friendship.
Here is my altered frame project:

I was wandering around Michael's a week ago looking for something to alter for this blog hop and came across this heart frame which I found for $1...LOVE those kind of deals! The back/sides were painted with Painterly Pink Claudine Hellmuth Studio paint and then I adhered some 12x12 Echo Park Victoria Gardens patterned paper using Scor-Tape.

  For the center of the frame I used some of Nina's stamps from The Craft's Meow, as well as the coordinating Spellbinders dies Home Sweet Home.

 Then I adhered the Blessed piece of chipboard using my Xyron Creative Station, it went through the machine very smoothly. The hearts are little wooden veneers from Studio Calico.

      Here are the NBD products I used for my altered frame: 

Love Dwells Here

Home Sweet Home

Beautiful Bling Borders

GKD Double Take Blog Hop

Join us in a Double Take hop! Members of Gina K.'s Design Team have come together to host a hop where we will show you how to make cards using the same products and stamp images to create two very different cards.

If you came from

Lee's blog, you're at the right place. If not make sure to head over to StampTV where you will find a list of all those participating in today's hop.
Here are the cards I made for the hop...

and...

For my cards I used the new Stamp TV Kit: Falling for You as well as three colors of GKD Luxury cardstock: Chocolate Brown, Turquoise Sea and White.  The patterned paper is from Echo Park Paper: A Walk in the Park.  Some favorite Spellbinders dies of mine I also incorporated into these designs... Beaded Ovals and Classic Ovals Large.   I finished them off with some Chocolate Stitched ribbon (another fav of mine).
 

Now head on over to Giovana's blog

to see what she's sharing with you today!

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!
Blessings,
