If you have jumped here and just discovered our Blog Hop, fell free to check the list at Damask Divas Blog to find the complete list of Blog Hop participants.
And don't forget to enter the Damask Divas GIVEAWAY! This month's sponsor is Traci Williams. Enter to win a Close To My Heart stamp set and Cards/Envelopes set.


They can be displayed on an easel or hung as ornaments (just punch holes and put a pretty ribbon on top!). I haven't decided what to do yet...but I think I might just add the ribbon! What do you think? Ribbon or no ribbon?

The next blog on the list is Carolyn's Blog.
Hope you have a great time on our Blog Hop checking out all the creations using Buzz and Bumble!

Easter is almost here! I cannot believe it!

I made this card for a class that I'll be teaching in April.



I'm also entering this card in the "We're so Egg-cited for Easter!" Challenge at H2H Challenge Blog.
OK, so the card doesn't have eggs nor does it say "Happy Easter" (at least, not that you can see), but still...doesn't it look Easter-ish? =)
Birds always remind me of Easter...but where is spring??? Why is it still so cold???

Anyway...
Easel cards are awesome! And this one has the emboss resist technique.

Supplies used:
C1533 Fabulous You (CTMH)
B1418 Love Doily (CTMH)
Brilliance ink pads in four different colors

Have a good "Good Friday"!

Supplies used:
X7167B Later Sk8r Paper Packet (CTMH)

Now...here's my card closed:


I always wanted to make a tri-fold card...but never really got to it...maybe because I didn't have the "right" stamps...
And then, I bought the stamp set below from CTMH and the roses are just perfect for it! The stamp set is called "Love Blooms" (C1511) and you can purchase it HERE.

I also used a stamp (banner) from the Cricut® Artiste Collection (Z1790) and the little flower from the WOTG Chantilly Scrapbooking Kit (G1053).
Other supplies are: Pink Glitter Gems (Z1807), Cotton Candy (Z2193) and Buttercup (Z2110) Ink Pads, foam tape (Z1151), and Spellbinders scallop oval die.

Thanks for stopping by!

A card for a new baby!
I'll be sending this card to a friend who had a baby boy! The photo is not great...but the whale, the starfish and the "for baby" tag are popped-up with foam tape.

I'll also be entering this card in the "Tag! You're It!" Challenge at Heart 2 Heart CTMH Challenges Blog!
Check it out! There's a lot of awesome projects and challenges there!

I used the New Baby (C1541) stamp set from CTMH and some images coordinate with the Cricut® Artiste collection (Z1790).
Have a nice weekend!
