MAGICAL FAIRY TALE DREAMS BLOG HOP

       Welcome to a Magical Fairy Tales Blog Hop
and to my blog!

The theme of this hop is Fairy Tale Dreams.

Have a Magical Birthday!

 3" x 4-1/4"

This baby dragon digital stamp is a creation from Cre8tive Hands Friends and the cute sentiment is from Create with TLC.

It was a pleasure making this cutie for our blog hop.

The baby dragon was drawn and cut with my Cricut Explore and colored in with alcohol markers.

The sentiment was also written and cut by the Cricut Explore.

Some areas on the baby dragon were accented with clear liquid embossing and some fine glitter.

All you need to do is comment at each blog for a chance to win. 

There will be a winner at every stop PLUS, we will have ONE GRAND PRIZE winner who will receive all images and sentiments used in the hop. All images were created by Cre8tive Hands and all sentiments were created by Create with TLC.

You should have arrived from Vicky's blog, if not, please start at Cre8tive Hands Friends Challenge blog and you won't miss a hop.

Your next stop is Julie's.

Thanks so much for stopping by and have fun hopping!

LADIES NIGHT BLOG AND CHALLENGE

Welcome to my Scrap Hut!

My name is Agnes aka flowerdisco and I am of the designers for Cut Cardstock. We offer some serious premium high-quality cardstock among other items.
 We have paired up with Great Impressions, who has some of the cutest rubber stamps and we are inviting you to join us for this fun and feminine
"Ladies Night Blog Hop".
We hope you have a good time hopping with us.

PLEASE MAKE SURE, you check Great Impressions with instructions on how to participate and link.

Parlez-vous français?
(:D) 
I don't but would love to.

Anyway, I won't bore you much with details because you still have one more hop to do but I do want to say most images are from Great Impressions and all cardstock is from Cut Cardstock.

This is "Birthday Diva". She is getting ready for her night out. :)

She is the picture perfect for the hop, don't you think?

Next, it is the "Tea for Two". She will be dining here, "al fresco", later on. :)

The "Glamour Shelf" is where she likes to display some of her french perfumes. 

:)

I am sure she will have a night to remember, :).

Somehow I believe I should write a few sentences about some of the supplies I used. I found the cute cathedral shape in one of my Cricut cartridges. Classic Crest Recycled cardstock and distressed inks were used for the base and scenery. The other two layers were cut on a light brown and a soft pink color cardstocks. I embossed the soft pink cs with a Cuttlebug embossing folder.

The Great Impressions stamp images were stamped with memento ink, fuzzy cut and manipulated to fit. I colored them with alcohol markers. The mini roses and stars were die cut using metal dies. 

I truly enjoyed working with Great Impressions stamps and I truly love our cardstock.

Thank you all for stopping by. I hope you have enjoyed our projects so far.

Next stop is: 

Amber

(our Cut Cardstock team leader)

THE CUTTING CAFE'S BLOG HOP (end of term)

welcome all to a sad but happy blog hop. our term at the cutting cafe has come to an end. we all were invited to stay for another term but i couldn't commit. my household is very hectic in november and december and i just couldn't stay. but i have to give miss regina a huge thank you for giving me the opportunity to be in her team. i have been a fan of her since the beginning of my paper crafting adventures, way back in the days when she had started the original "bitten by the bug" blog. anyway, i believe some of the girls are staying for another term but we still wanted to celebrate how much fun we have/had at the cutting cafe. i personally had a blast, learned new things and techniques, made some new friends...over all a great experience. i remember how excited i was when i was accepted to the team and how nervous i was to mess up because i do not own the digital cutter and my projects were going to be cut by hand. hehe. i think i did pretty good, as i went along i gained more confidence.

now, back to the hop...

generous miss regina has offer to give away to a lucky "blog hopper" (new term in my vocabulary, hehe) the file we are using today for our projects. thanks again miss regina.

HANDMADE WITH LOVE

this is the file i chose for a lucky winner:
JAR SHAPED CARDS

and as all files from the cutting cafe, it is made with love :P

all was cut by hand using the pdf document file included among the svg and wpc.
it also comes with a bundle of sentiments and different images to fill in the jar. i chose the plain jar for my project.
-the top part and hearts were hand-stamped-

the mini hearts were punched out and layered.
the sentiment was printed and i hand cut around it a banner shape.

hope you really like my card and my chosen file because...
all you have to do is leave a comment and i will choose a winner on friday. you have to contact me and i will forward your email to miss regina, owner of the cutting cafe and one of the sweetest ladies out there :) you have 5 days to claim your prize.

thanks again for stopping by and have fun hopping with us

all of us are giving away the file we worked on, the chances of winning different ones is great....good luck!

our hop theme is "sunshine" and a reminder that is a challenge too and we have some goodies to giveaway, yay!

You Are the Best
matchbox card
3-7/8" x 4-1/8

my main embellishment is the "sunshine" part of the challenge. to me it looks just like that: a sunshine.

all the patterned papers,main embellishment and enamel dots used are from the
 my mind's eye "the sweetest thing" collection.

the stars were punched out with a paper punch and all elements were lightly inked for more definition.

here is the top of the matchbox and i handmade the two mini banners. the "sunshine" is all one layered embellishment from the collection.

the tab was done using a hand tool i have in my stash.

keep hoping for more ideas and inspiration...

and if you need to start from the beginning of the hop, this is your first stop:
http://www.housesbuiltofcards.blogspot.com

if you come back here the 7th, i will have a name of someone who left a comment for a small giveaway including some of these beautiful papers i used for my matchbox.

have a fantastic hop!!!

A PUMPKIN SPICE POST...where anything goes

welcome.

out theme is

"anything goes" and to match our weekly challenge of "stars and/or fireworks" i made an

 "uncle sam" card.

An Uncle Sam's Card
4" x 7"

i used the george and basics shapes cricut cartridge to design my uncle sam but you can do all by hand. it is not a hard project to do but it did take me a bit of time. but then, all takes me a bit of time :P

my uncle sam moves too. his body was attached with crochet thread.
the "round sticker" is from my stash of the pumpkin spice store and the "usa" is from another paper punch.

i dry embossed the background and the red with the cuttlebug.
his beard was made using twine. the stars, pant/hat stripes were stamped on. the blue star was punched out. i colored his cheeks with a regular colored pencil.

his eyes were made with the crop a dile and so were the holes to connect the parts.
i also inked everything for more definition.

your next stop in this blog is dear
HEATHER

thanks for stopping by and,
 i hope you
have a great weekend!
