Mom’s Day Blog Hop 4/30-5/1

Welcome to the Mom’s Day Blog Hop 4/30-5/1. You should have come from Nicolette www.beyondscrapin.blogspot.com
I you’re following the hop you should have come from Dawnica at www.dawnicakorner.blogspot.com

So the purpose of this hop is to give you ideas for your Moms day cards!!!
So without further ado, here’s my card….
This image just seemed like a big giant snuggle hug, which seemed appropriate for a Mom’s Day card, because Mom deserves a big hug!!


Inside


So here are the details:
Image from http://maybritshobbyblogg.blogspot.com/2011/04/new-bear-freebie.html. She has some great images (and is a much better colorer than I am!)
I colored the image with my copics. The paper was all out of my stash. I used my cuttlebug – Swiss dots & d’vine swirls. I used some gems, and popped up the bear. Used white gel pen to give it more pizzazz. Stamps are stampin up.

The sketch I used was from Kinderstampo – http://networkedblogs.com/hgbG9

Of course I have blog candy, because what’s a blog hop without presents???

Royal Tea Bridal Shower Blog Hop 4/28 & 4/29

Hi and welcome to the “Royal Tea Bridal Shower Blog Hop!”  Read this with your very best British accent (since I can’t do it)….

If you were just visiting, be sure to start back at the start of the hop 
Ellen the Card Monkey
If you’re following the hop, you should have come from Alex at http://www.youhadmeatcraft.com/
So follow along to 25 other tea hoppers as they show papercrafting projects made in celebration of the Royal marriage of Prince William and his lovely Kate Middleton.  

I personally, am not planning on staying up, but may tivo to see some images….  I hadn’t been following along, so in trying to come up with an idea, hubby suggested I do it in the colors of the wedding… So I googled & evidently you can bet on the colors of the wedding… So, I decided to use my own colors!!!!
So, here’s my card:
I got the instructions from: http://www.scor-pal.com/apr_magazine/Pop%20Up%20Card%20Mary%20Jo%20Albright.pdf
If you don’t have a scor-pal, you should check it out.. I love mine, and their website has some great projects!  So this is a 3-D card…
Front view
Back View
I did have to put a piece of clear plastic in to keep it stiff, since the paper i used got bent at the crease….
I used: 
Cricut Cartridge – Everyday paper dolls for tea pot & tea kettle (found using www.cricutsearch.com since I would have NEVER guessed to look on that cartridge – it’s a wealth of random cuts!)
Paper – All Dressed Up DCWV Glitter Stack
Embellishments – (all were ones I had on hand) – cookie tray (cuz what’s tea without cookies!!!), jolees, Congratulations & presents I don’t know the brand….  Gems from Micheals (from the dollar bin!) and the pearls and tiny gems on cup were from Micheals as well (just not $1)…  

Of course I have blog candy, because what’s a wedding without presents???

Mothers Day Blog Hop

Welcome to the Mother’s Day blog hop. We are making some great projects that will hopefully inspire you to make some beautiful crafts for whomever you cherish on Mother’s Day. If you came here from Lizthen you are in the right place. If not start at the beginning at Jamie’s blog for all the wonderful projects lined up for you today. Thanks to Jamie for hosting the hop! What a great way to celebrate mom! I know I really love & appreciate my mom!

My card is a little different. I didn’t use girly colors, and it’s a clear card, but I still think it’s feminine enough for Mom. (I won’t be able to use this for a mothers day card since my mom will probably see the post!!!)
So here’s the card:

And the inside

Here’s what I used:

I used copics & gems too…..
It’s difficult to see but the blue paper is glitter paper. I haven’t mastered photography!!! Except for figuring out the punch, this was a relatively easy card!

I have blog candy….
