The Craft's Meow - Day 2 Previews!

Hello friends and welcome to day two of the new release festivities at The Craft's Meow!  Today the DT is showcasing a wonderful Easter set, "Easter Blessings" designed by Karen Baker!

For this card, I wanted a spring feel and started off with some lovely patterned paper and a journaling card/transparency that I thought were perfectly colored.  I just love that apricot on those little roses!  I stamped the journaling card with one of the sentiments from the set and layered the transparency over the top using some vellum adhesive that can't be seen.  I stamped the little lamb in some apricot ink, cut him out, and layered him over some similarly colored baker's twine.

Thanks so much for visiting today and don't forget to leave a comment back on the TCM blog for a chance to win this set!

Supplies:  Stamps (TCM), DP/Transparency/Brad - Piccadilly collection (Basic Grey), Twine (The Twinery), Ink - Basic Black, Apricot Appeal (SU!), Cardstock - Vintage Cream (PTI)

The Craft's Meow - Day 1 Previews!

Hello friends, and welcome to the first of 5 days of new release festivities with The Craft's Meow!  Today the DT is showcasing a new add-on set for the "Shelf" series, "Baby Shelf" by Nina B Designs!

For my project, I chose to make a tag for a baby gift and started with a large shipping tag that I covered with some harlequin patterned paper.  I stamped the large sentiment on the bottom and the small, "for baby" on the top.  I stamped the little bear from the set onto a coordinating patterned paper and cut him out.  I layered the little bear on top of the tag using foam squares for dimension.  I finished the tag with a little ducky brad and some baker's twine.

Supplies:  Stamps (TCM), Tag (Uline), DP/Brad - Midway collection (October Afternoon), Ink - Basic Black (SU!), Twine (The Twinery)

Sending Oodles of Love - PDCC 169

Hello friends, today I'm excited to share a project with you that I made for the brand, spanking new challenge over at The Play Date Cafe! Check out this wonderful new color story - doesn't it make you feel like spring is in the air?

For my project, I started off with some patterned papers that matched the colors this week, stamped a label and a sentiment in gray, die cut the labels and finished the card with some twine and a layered sticker.  I like the balloon with the sentiment, picturing it heading off to deliver a wonderful love letter to someone far away.

I hope you have a chance to play along with us this week - these are such fun colors and an interesting combo!  I can't wait to see what you do with them!  Link up by Tuesday for a chance to win a wonderful prize from our sponsor, Simon Says Stamp!

Be Mine

Hello friends!  Today The Craft's Meow is having a Valentine/Love-themed blog hop and I'm so happy you could join us!  If you're here from Jennie's blog, you're in the right spot.  If not, head over to the TCM blog to get started!

I've been having some fun playing with CAS lately so I thought I'd give it a try with this card.  I stamped the heart from Lark Additions three times onto the from of a white card base and added the sentiment from Valentine Wishes to the bottom.  I punched the bottom edge of the card and layered some washi tape on the inside of the card to add a bit of decorative trim.

Thanks so much for visiting today and next up is Jessica!

Supplies:  Stamps (TCM), Washi Tape (7 Gypsies), Cardstock - Select White (PTI), Punch (SU!), Ink - Real Red, Pretty in Pink, Basic Black (SU!)

Hugs & Kisses

Hello friends!  Today is the last day of our 7 Days of Valentine Projects blog event and I wanted to give a big shout out to Donna who made this happen!  I've had a lot of fun participating in this and have gotten so much inspiration and I hope you have, too!

For my final project, I started with a kraft tag and layered some pink dotty paper and a sticker strip.  I stamped the sentiment at the bottom and some little hearts on the background.  I then stamped and pieced this adorable little cherub and finished her wings and socks with some Stickles.  I finished the tag with some coordinating ribbon and a little paper clip.

Thanks so much for your comments along the way this week!  Here is the list of the other crafters that have been participating and I sure hope you have a chance to check out some of their creations, too -

Hello friends!  Today is day 6 of our 7 Days of Valentine Projects blog event and I've loved all of the Valentine inspiration!  I hope you've been enjoying this little tour as much as I have been!

I made this project using supplies from the Old School kit from Paper Made Bakery.  I layered some vintage camera dp over a white card base to start out and added an element card that spells out LOVE and some paper flowers from the kit that I fastened together using a red brad.  I finshed the card by punching some butterflies from a sheet of thin cork and added some twine.

Thanks so much for visiting today and I hope you have a chance to swing by my fellow bloggers participating in this wonderful blog event -
