NinaB Designs February Blog Hop

Welcome to the NinaB Designs Blog Hop! The theme of this month's hop is Make it Mini, in honor of February's being a short month. Nina challenged the team to create a project that is either small (mini-cards, mini-boxes, etc.) and/or intended for someone small (babies, kids, even pets:).

I made some mini cards using Nina's set for The Craft's Meow Sew Happy and the coordinating Spellbinders Sew Elements dies. The patterned paper I used for the cards is My Mind's Eye Portobellow Road and accented each mini-card with Want2Scrap bling.  All of the images/sentiments were stamped with Memento London Fog ink.

I thought it would be cute to make a holder for these little cards and coordinating envelopes and made this holder from a 4 1/4 x 11 piece of card stock using my Scor-Pal:

 

 The labels is from Lovely Labels 18.  And here is the inside:

 

Here are the products I used:

Loving Thoughts of You

Hello friends!  Today the The Craft's Meow DT is having a blog hop to share projects created with the theme of Valentine/Love (pinch, pinch...thrilled to be on the design team and hopping with these creative ladies!!) I used two stamp sets for my card and was inspired by the Tuesday Trigger: Cross My Heart over on Moxie Fab for my design:

I took a panel of Ocean Mist card stock and embossed it with an embossing folder and gently smoothed on some Blank Canvas Studio Semi-Gloss Acrylic Paint from Claudine Hellmuth (which I heat set to speed drying).  I then layered it onto a pink cardstock and adhered to a card front. I die cut a heart and stamped XOXO from Sew Happy multiple times and added a sentiment from Sent with Love.  Very easy!!

Here are the sets I used:

Minty Fresh Challenge

Today I have a card to share that I made for the Minty Fresh Challenge over on Moxie Fab. Loved the mint/brown dress in the blog post and drew my inspiration from that...as well as Chocolate Mint ice cream (my hands down favorite ice cream!).

For my card, I was inspired by the September sketch challenge on The Craft's Meow blog. I used the Swiss Dots stencil from The Crafter's Workshop and combined it with some favorite stamps from The Craft's Meow (Lovely Labels 18 and Sew Happy).  I also used the coordinating Spellbinders dies, including Nina's Sewing Elements.  

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

Sew, What's New?

 Hey there!  Can you believe the summer is winding down...and fast?!?!?  

Today I have a card to share made using the Swiss Dots stencil from The Crafter's Workshop and stamps from The Craft's Meow.  Using the Swiss Dots stencil and distress stains, I created a fun background for the center panel from the TCM sketch.  For my sewing themed card, I used Sew Lovely and Sew Happy and anchored it with the labels stamp from Lovely Labels 18 (also with polka dots).  The cute pin cushion was die cut using one of the Spellbinders Sewing Elements dies, which coordinate perfectly with the stamp set Sew Happy. 

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

Blessings,
