Pigging Out!

Welcome to my stop on this month's From the Heart Stamps blog hop.

Our theme this time is "Pigging Out"

Faith has designed some awesome new PigWits especially for this hop too. You can check them all out HERE.
Not only that, Faith is generously offering a 30% discount off all PigWit images, and there's no code needed! Grab your favourites now ;)

As you hop along, please leave a comment on each blog. One random commenter will be selected on each blog to win an image of choice from the FTHS store.
We are having a little twist this month too! Some of our designers are adding ribbon to their projects. As you move through the hop, count up how many of the designers chose to use ribbon on their project. Email your answer to Faith: (faith@fromtheheartstamps.com) for a chance to win a $15 voucher to the FTHS store!

If you have arrived here from Imke, you are in the right place. If you haven't, why don’t you start at the From the Heart Stamps blog, so you don’t miss anything. The full hop list is there too.

For my card, i've used Cold Suds...


I've coloured Hamlet (without his beer bucket) with promarkers then cut him out.
I've used the beer bucket image on its own inside the card.
The papers used are both retired MME ones, Stella & Rose (Hattie).
I cut the stars using a Marianne Creatables star die, the yellow is glitter cardstock.
The sentiment is one of 7 you get as a bonus when you purchase this fun image.

I'm entering this card at:
Ribbon Girl - May card challenge
Craft Your Passion - always anything goes
Creative Inspirations - for the boys
Simon Says Stamp - anything goes



Now, please head over to Kathy's blog to see her fun creation.

I hope that you enjoy hopping with us today.
The hop will end on Sunday, May 8th at 6am EST (11am UK time).
Winners will be posted on the From the Heart Stamps Blog on Wednesday, May 11th.

Good luck, and happy hopping! xx

  2. Oh my word! I LOVE this Jo :-) I just love everything about it - the layout, colours and of course this fab new Pigwit! (I popped him in my basket earlier - he won't be on his own!) The stars look fab too! Fantastic card Jo!

  3. Great color on your pigwit - I find it challenging to get it right - looks like you used some warm grey tones which I've tried too but always have trouble with the balance of pinks/creams and grays. Great job Jo!

  8. Hamlet is brilliant. I can think of many males that I could send this design to and you have done a fantastic job of colouring him and making him look as though he is really going to enjoy that beer lol. I also love the beer tub on the inside of the card which ties it all together. Great card.
