Little Scrap Pieces Fun Friday - Birthday

Happy Friday!! Wow, this week...actually this whole month has flown by. I hope you have fun plans for the weekend!! Mine are to hopefully get into my craft room and to try and stay warm :)

It's Friday, so that means is another super-fun challenge at Little Scrap Pieces!! This week, our theme is Birthday.

The papers for this card are from We Are Memory Keepers Anthologie stack. The base is a Spellbinders Romantic Rectangle die. The next layer is a Spellbinders Labels 21, followed by a Spellbinders Labels 25, the edges on both sanded. The ribbon is from May Arts. The button is from Hobby Lobby and the hemp twine from Michaels. The crystal gems on the corners and along the top are from Recollections.

The top layer is a Spellbinders Labels 18, the insert cut with a Spellbinders Classic Ovals Large die. The Label 18 was popped up with foam tape for dimension. They were inked with Memento New Sprout ink. "Happy Birthday" is from Just Rite's Fleur de Lis Labels 20 stamp set, stamped in Onyx Black in from Versafine. The flowers are Spellbinders Bitty Blossoms dies inked with Tim Holtz Victorian Velvet Distress Ink and the butterfly is a Spellbinders Wonderful Wings die, covered in gorgeous bling from Want to Scrap.

Ring in the New Year Blog Hop!!

Hello Everyone!! Welcome to the Ring in the New Year Blog Hop!!

Happy New Year!! Can you believe it's 2013 already??!! If you have just stumbled upon this blog hop, you can follow along by starting at Holly's blog, Ribbon's and Glue. If you have been following along you should have come from Heather's blog, The Honey Pot.

The idea behind this blog hop is to use something "new". I decided to make a wall hanging with several new crafty items I received for Christmas :)

The base is cardboard with heavy weight cardstock attached from Canvas Corp, using the gorgeous Prima Birds on a Limb mask I got for Christmas. It was inked with Broken China and Tumbled Glass Distress Inks, with Stormy Sky along the edges. The flowers were created with my new Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die. Tumbled Glass, Chipped Sapphire and Brushed Pewter (new) Distress Stains. were dabbed on my craft sheet, spritzed with water, and then the flowers were inked. The butterfly was created with Spellbinders Wonderful Wings dies, and adorned with Want to Scrap Nestabling (new). The other gems are from my dear, sweet friend Sonia of Passioni di Carta!! She sent me a package of amazing goodies!! Thank you again Sonia...I love everything you sent :)

The tag is a Spellbinders Matting Basics die, inked with Broken China, Tumbled Glass and Stormy Sky Distress Inks. The sentiment is a Tim Holtz Just Thoughts stamp set (new). It was stamped with Versafine in Onyx and then heat embossed with Recollections Silver Embossing Powder (new).
