Mother's Day Blog Hop

Welcome to our Mother's Day blog hop. We are making some great projects that will hopefully inspire you to make some beautiful crafts for whoever you cherish on Mother's Day.  We have some great projects lined up for you today. Make sure you check out all the blogs to see all the wonderful projects. AND don't forget the blog candy below.

I am making my MIL a glass block. This is my first time to try this. I added etching cream all over the whole block then cut a white vinyl M and swirl and added them to the front. 
Here is what it looks like at night. The block will be on a stand when its all done. I am not sure I like the one solid light. I am probably going to change it to the small strand of Xmas lights.

 I like the vinyl one better I think so I am probably going to add a vinyl M to the other one in a different color.
Of course I made a card to go with it. I can not add my mom's gift on here yet since she looks on here :)

I also made some cards for the ladies at my hubby's work. I hope they like them. They are my biggest customers :)

I made several in spanish. There are closer pictures at the bottom of this post.

Birthday Blog Hop

Welcome to Jennifer's Birthday Blog Hop! First of all happy birthday to Jennifer! If you came from Cherie then you are in the right place. If you just happened to stop by go the the start at Jennifer's Blog and check out all this great card makers!

I was so excited to get this stack of paper (Birthday extravaganza by the Paper Studio) because I thought it would be perfect for birthday cards. Then I cut several paper and was stuck. I stared at these papers for days and finally I have finished a card using it. The cupcake is cut from Sweet Treats, sprayed with glitter and buttons were added. The birthday was also cut from Sweat Treats, embossed and spray glittered.

Closer view of the details.

Man I am getting predictable, I did another tutorial. I just love Splitcoaststampers tutorials. Why reinvent the wheel? I made this card with a match little purse for my nieces' birthday. My nieces' are turning 9 and 6 so I kept these very young and fun for them. I made a card and a little notebook to go with them.

Closer picture of the digi stamp I colored with prism makers and blended with gamsol.

I made a matching mini notebook to go inside the purse.

Here is my second one for my 6 year old niece. I hope they like them.

Now for some blog candy. I love this stamp set and have made several birthday cards with my set. I mixed a tons of flowers from all different jars so you can have a mix.And who can't use more pop dots.

OWH Bunny Hop

Welcome to my blog! If you came here from Sharon, Desert Rose Stamper,  then you are in the right place. If you want to start at the beginning of the hop go to OWH
My cold has really been kicking my booty so I only made two cards today.

My first card I cut the egg and chick from Simply charmed. The egg I inked the edges and sprayed with Glimmer Mist.  The eggs on the bottom is a cute stamp I have from $1 set from Micheal's. The blue did not photograph well. I used a stencil I bought at Hobby Lobby for the stenciling around the edge, added some diamonds in the corners, and of course ribbon since I am obsessed with ribbon. 

Closer details of the chick. I added a bow and blush to make the chick more girly.

My second card I figured I need to make a bunny card since this is a bunny hop after all :) This is a simple card. I cut the bunny from Create a Critter and sprayed him with glitter. The sentiment I printed out, inked the edges and added it to the embossed scallop. I added ribbon and some bling to the scallop. The celebrate ribbon I got from Micheal's and love so I added that to the bottom.

Any questions or comments are greatly appreciated. 

Whats a hop without a little blog candy.

Friendship Blog hop

Welcome to my Blog, and the Friendship Blog Hop! If you've come from visiting Shawnee, you're in the right place. If you were just looking at my blog and want to play along with our blog hopping fun, you can go to the beginning at www.craftycardgallery.blogspot.com

 .  This blog hop is all about friendship; cards that you would love to send to or receive from a friend - congratulations, good luck, thanks for being a friend, etc.  Sometimes it's nice to just send a card to a friend for no particular reason or to celebrate something with them.  There will be opportunities to win some blog candy and get lots of ideas!  So sit back, and enjoy the hop!

This is my first time participating in a blog hop so I got a little crazy with the projects.

My project for today included several cards since this is a card gallery hop after all.  I could not just make a card with all the lovely visitors stopping by so I decided to do a couple of the tutorials on Splitcoaststampers.  
This card was a lot simpler than I thought it would be. I saw this tutorial and had to give it a try. 

 I added Enamel accents in the middle of the flowers. It is hard to see but gives them some dimension.

I used my Irock to add a little bling to the sentiment.

Ingredients:
The Doodle Around Stack by DCWV patterned paper
Martha Stewart Version of a scor pal--much cheaper and I used a coupon. I love it.
Stampin Up Stamp
Irock~~my new toy
ribbon
flowers
brads
button
Enamel accents white~~on the flowers. This stuff is very neat if you haven't used it yet.


I am still debating adding something to the front of this box. When I figure out who I am giving it too I will personalize it a bit more. 

There is a little note pad and a pocket for holding stamps on the base. Two pockets in front of the card holder for whatever you like. I am adding a few small cards, tags, and a decorated clothes pin or two. I am not completely done with all that yet since this is a card hop I focused on the cards first.

Here are some cards that I made to match this box. I am going to put several of them in it and use the rest as sets to give to other people. I am trying very hard to make sets of cards now instead of just one since I have way too many scraps. A 12x12 makes at least for cards so that is what I did.
These cards I printed out the sentiment and added a few buttons, flowers and a ribbon. I kept them very simple because I loved the paper and didn't want to cover it up too much.

These cards I used the tree from Simply Charmed. It is such a cute tree. I printed out the sentiment and inked the edges.
