FTHS May 2017 Blog Hop

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

We have a “CASE it” theme this month.
Each team member will be showcasing a card CASE-d (copy and share everything) from another teammate.
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 also having a link up contest with this hop.
We invite you to pick one of the FTHS DT members and “CASE” one of their cards and add it to linky collection, by Sunday May 7th.
Everyone who enters will be entered into a random drawing.
One lucky winner will win three images of choice from the 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.

I was given the opportunity to CASE the very talented Kathy Curry! :)
I spent hours looking through Kathy's amazing cards, and couldn't decide on just one, so I decided to combine TWO cards instead!

These are the cards, you can see Kathy's original post for them by clicking on either card.

                       

As soon as I saw the bunny card I knew I wanted to make a swing/flip card too, what a great design!
And, as you all know, i'm a sucker for a Birdbrain, and this one has a red 3D nose! I also love the clean look of the card using minimal colours.

So, here's my card...

It took me quite a while to get the measurements right as it was all hand cut with a ruler and a precision knife. I also took the placement of the bow from Kathy's flip card too.
The image and colours (and nose!) were inspired from Kathy's Birdbrain card.

and here is the 'flip' side...

Image & sentiments used: Christmas Spirit Birdbrain
Colouring Medium: Promarkers
Papers: Pebble's Inc. (Sunny Side); Lawn Fawn (Let's Polka in the Meadow)
Die: Reverse Confetti (Layered bow Confetti Cuts)
Other: A flat back pearl coloured with Poppy red Promarker.

I'd like to enter this card at:
Christmas At Sweet Stampin - Anything Christmas
I Love Promarkers - Anything goes
Crafting By Designs - Christmas
Fab n Funky - Christmas

Now, please head over to the lady herself, Kathy, to see who she has CASE-d!

Thanks for hopping!
The hop will end on Sunday, May 7th at 6 am EST (11am UK time).
Winners will be posted on the From the Heart Stamps Blog on  Wednesday, May 9th.

It's time for another mid-week post for From The Heart Stamps.

I've made a christmas card today. Well, we did have some snow yesterday!

This cutie is Blowing Kisses, and is one of Faith's Project 100 Snowman images.
You can see the others available HERE.

I've coloured the image with promarkers, then fussy cut part of it.
I teamed this with patterned papers from Lawn Fawn (Peace, Joy, Love), and, using the twist too, die cuts from Poppystamps Dies (Frozen Flakes), and Paper Smooches (Lattice).

I hope that you'll join in our challenge too :)

Flurry

Hello, it's time for a little mid-week inspiration for From The Heart Stamps.
Following on from our blog hop, I thought i'd use another Project 100 Snowmen image.
This time, i'm using our newest snowy guy, Flurry...

I decided to do something different with Flurry, I've paper pieced him using papers from Carta Bella 'Winter Fun' collection. I bought these papers as digital ones, so they are great to resize to make the pattern fit beneath this transparent format of Flurry.
Faith gives you 3 formats for her images in each purchase, a JPG, a transparent PNG, and a  white-filled PNG. She explains the differences HERE.
I opened up the papers i'd decided to use into my paint program, along with the transparent PNG version of Flurry. I used the image over top of the papers and cropped around the sections I'd need for each piece. After printing these out I cut out each piece, run a black marker along the edges then pieced it together onto my card base.
I finished by adding clear Wink of Stella over the snow, heart, nose and Flurry himself parts, just leaving the scarf and text paper without, and though you can't see this in my photo, in real life the extra shimmer it adds looks lovely.

Project 100 Snowmen Hop

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

We have a Project 100 Snowmen theme this month. Our designers are showcasing lots of gorgeous snowy projects.
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.

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.

Here's my card...

I hadn't gotten around to using this image until now, and thought how cool it would look as a shaker card.
I like the end result, but I made a couple of mistakes whilst putting this together.

My first mistake was that I added all my foam pads to the top piece before remembering to glue down the acetate, and as i'd used the pads close to the edge of my aperture to contain the sequins within, I had to take them off again, this is where I tried to pull off the first pad and found out that it had stuck hard, ripping my image a little when I took it off. This is why I added the felt holly leaves, the tear is on the snowman's scarf, which I covered with one of the leaves. I eventually cut through the foam pads with a craft knife close to the card stock, glued down the acetate and then glued down / reused the pads i'd cut away.
Also, I'd originally printed the image twice, my intention was to layer an image beneath the snowman so that the fringing at the end of the scarf could still be seen. It wasn't until I'd put the card together and went to take the photo that I realised that I'd forgot to sponge the 'sky' around this 2nd image, instead sponging a background on a plain piece of white card stock.

But, mistakes aside, I do like how this card turned out, and I would make it again (without mistakes!)

Supplies:
Image: Snowman Greeting 
Colouring medium: Promarkers
Sentiment: Snowman Greeting
Die used: Quickutz holly leaves
Other supplies: white & orange card stock, acetate, sequins, flat back pearls, green felt.

Now, please head over to Karen's fabulous blog to see what she has made this time :)

I hope that you enjoy hopping with us today.
The hop will end on Monday, February 8th at 6am EST (11am UK time).
Winners will be posted on the From the Heart Stamps Blog on Wednesday, February 10th.
Good luck, and happy hopping! xx

Midweek Inspiration at FTHS

Happy New Year everyone! :)
I hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas, here's wishing that 2016 will be a kind year to you all too.

Let's kick of my 2016 posts with a midweek inspirational one for From The Heart Stamps.
But i'm actually going to share the christmas card that I gave to my parents, because I haven't blogged it before.

This image is Mistletoe Birdbrains, don't they look smart in their finery?
I teamed up this fab image with a sentiment from DigiStamp Boutique, and paper from Lawn Fawn (Peace, Joy, Love).
Dies used here are Marianne Creatables 'Mistletoe', and a Tattered Lace scalloped border die.

Thank you for stopping by today, have a great day! xx

For my Grandsons...

I made these 2 cards for my 2 grandsons.
I grabbed a few images from Whiff of Joy before they closed, and kept these 2 especially for Mikey & RJ.

Here's the first...

This little cutie is 'Henry On Present'. Coloured with promarkers, and edged using a cArt-Us die, (Border Drop).
I embossed the yellow piece with a folder from Cuttlebug's Mini Monsters Companions set, this folder has a sweets and lollipops design.
Grandson was cut using a  word die by Crafts Too.

I'd like to enter this card at:
Sweet Stampin - Merry Christmas

and here's the second card...

This equally cute Henry image is 'Henry Hugging Bauble', but i've teamed it with another WoJ image, the baubles, from their 'Christmas Accesories' set, so that I could create this scene.
I used the same embossing folder and Grandson word die as before.

In the meadow...

** Have you checked out our December Blog Hop winners post** ;)

Here's my mid-week inspiration post for From The Heart Stamps.
I'm also using this weeks sketch w/a twist. Well, my interpretation of the sketch anyway...

The twist this time is to make a gift card holder.
Join in the challenge, and everyone who plays will receive a $1 discount code for the store, and if you are the challenge winner, you will receive a $5 discount code to the store! :)
Remember though, you must use an image by From The Heart Stamps to be eligible, and please include a pic of the sketch in your blog post too, it's in the rules!

Here's my card...

This fantastic, fun image is In The Meadow Snowmen, one of Faith's Project 100 Snowmen, where all images are just $1.00!

I coloured my image with promarkers, then sponged in the sky at the top.
I layered the image with foam pads around the bottom and 2 sides onto a striped piece which is by Stampin Up (bashful blue DSP) which was first backed onto white card, punched at the top with my eyelet border punch (also by SU), and wrapped with velvet ribbon and bow.
A gift card or money can be slid between the image and stripy piece.
Then this was all stuck to the base card & paper (from Bearly Mine Designs) with more foam pads.

I decided to make a masculine christmas card...

This fabby image is Christmas Spirit Birdbrain.
I grabbed my papers first of all, choosing Papermania's Capsule Collection (Spots and Stripes/Jewels), then I coloured my image with similar colours, using a white gel pen to add the dots to one of BB's wrapping paper rolls.
I used some gold glitter washi tape on his nose and head-band.
Quite a simple card to do, and another for my christmas card stash ;)

Christmas Greetings Snowmen

Hello friends!...it's Wednesday, so it's that time of the week again, mid-week inspiration for From The Heart Stamps.

Today is my wedding anniversary, 15 years, and we met 20 years ago on this day.
But I haven't an anniversary card to share today, I have given Dave this card.
So instead, i've made a Christmas card, because I seriously need to make some so that I don't have a mad rush in December lol :)

The image i've used today is from Faith's new Project 100 Snowmen line, this one is #14 to 17, Christmas Greetings Snowmen.
As with all of Faith's Project 100 Snowmen images, you can grab this yourself right now for just $1.00, a bargain i'm sure you'll agree :)

I really wanted to do both this weeks sketch challenge and twist together, which is to make a mail friendly card (to keep it flat). So I haven't used any dimentional tape at all.
I have added interest using Clearly Besotted Stamps's snowflake die cuts around the edge, which isn't in the sketch design, but as it's white on white, it looks ok to me. I did change the shape of the patterned paper piece a little though, as I wanted more colour towards the top right.
The paper is by Dovecraft, (Merry Magic).

Here's the sketch for reference...

Join in the challenge, and everyone who plays will receive a $1 discount code for the store, and if you are the challenge winner, you will receive a $5 discount code to the store! :)

Birdbrain Snowman

Hello! Happy Monday to you & yours.

So, Monday means that we have a brand new I {heart}sketches challenge for From The Heart Stamps :)

Here's sketch #117:

The twist this time is 'Lots of white'...

My image today is Birdbrain Snowman, coloured with promarkers. The sky has been sponged with my very old stampin spot of SU Bashful Blue ink.
I decided to add teeny acetate stars to the falling snow, the glue that I used has made the little circles a green colour, but IRL it doesn't look too bad.
The image is placed upon a debossed snowflake piece, and the patterned paper used here are both from Lawn Fawn's 'Peace, Joy, Love' paper pad. The top piece has been punched using a diamond border punch by Xcut.
I finished with a snowflake using the smallest die from the 'Snowflakes Trio' set from Clearly Besotted Stamps.

Only 4 months away!

Wednesday means it's mid-week inspiration day for From The Heart Stamps.

Now, you may think it's too early for Christmas cards, but if you're like me, then it can never be too early, because I always have a last minute dash to finish my crimble cards in time.
And it is only 4 months away, which is like, next month for a crafter, right? ;)

I've used Christmas Spirit Birdbrain, coloured with promarkers.
I framed this birdbrain with mirror card, gold, then green, then layered it onto more gold mirror card which was die cut using Spellbinders Nestabilities Decorative Elements 'Elegant Ovals'.
'sister' was also cut from gold mirror card using a word die by Clearly Besotted Stamps.
The colourful paper is by My Mind's Eye (Life of the Party).

August's SOTM

It's time for our mid-month reminder for the SOTM challenge at From The Heart Stamps.
Remember, EVERYONE who plays, WINS!

As it is a progressive challenge, if you joined in with the Stamp Of The Month challenge in July, you should have received August's Candy Cane for Snowman via email.

If you make a card/project using this month's SOTM, you will receive next month's image emailed to you for free! :)

If you didn't play last month, you can still join in by buying the image from the FTH shop. 

If you spend over $10 on other images, you will get Candy Cane for Snowman for free when using the code LETITSNOW.
You have until Monday, August 31st, at 11:59pm CST to submit your entry.

Here's my card...

I chose to focus on the snowman himself, as he looks as though he could be catching a snowflake. So I coloured the image with promarkers, then fussy cut around it, before making a start on the background piece, which is just a sponged background using old 'Rich Regals' SU inks, starting at the bottom with Ballet Blue, then Night of Navy at the top, blending the 2 together using Brocade Blue. These inks are really old, I bought the stampin spots sets about 7 or 8 years ago, and to my surprise the lightest 2 of these 3 colours hadn't been opened!

No patterned papers here, choosing instead to use a Snowflakes embossing folder.
I added 3 diecut snowflakes to the top using the smallest die from the 'Snowflakes Trio' set by Clearly Besotted Stamps. The sheer ribbon was in my stash, then I added clear Wink of Stella to the snowflakes and snowman.

The sentiment is one of four that you get for free with this image...

My fave five CHRISTMAS cards for 2014.

The ever so talented Debby Yates makes fun, colourful and well thought out cards, and she has shared her favourites with us again. These posts are always fun to read :)
HERE's the link to see Debby's favourite five Christmas cards for 2014.
She asked us to share ours too.
Here goes, oh, and if you like the Birdbrains, you'll like this post, lol...

Holly Jolly Christmas...

Original post is HERE.
This was made back in March and was my first Christmas card make for this year.
The image cracks me up! and I was really happy with the papers and bright colours I chose when I made this card.


Mistletoe Birdbrains...

Original post is HERE.
This was the first time that I made a diorama card, and I loved the end result!
It folds flat for posting, a great idea eh?


Let it snow... Somewhere else!...

Original post is HERE.
Hehehe, perfect for those peeps that don't like shovelling ;)



Christmas Gift Horse...

Original post is HERE.
*what? no Birdbrain?!* hehe.
Seriously though, I was really happy with this card. The colours, paper / mirror card combo, and fantastic Whimsy image.


It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Original post is HERE.
Ending with another Birdbrain, and I just LOVE this image! and I also love that it didn't need much else adding to make this simple yet fun Christmas card.

Hope you liked my fave five, and I hope you'll join in too :)

Christmas Tweets

Here's the christmas card I have made for my daughter and son-in-law this year...

I've used an image from the Christmas Tweets set by DigiStamp Boutique.
The snowflake border is from a Poppystamps Die (Frozen Flakes), and the paper is by Dovecraft (Merry Magic). The sentiment is computer generated.
