Celebration Blog Hop

This is my second post of the day. For my Scrapy Land project, click HERE!! 

We here at Die-Versions have collaborated with two awesome companies: Joy Clair Stamps and DL.ART to come up with a fun and festive Celebration Blog Hop. We want to showcase how well our three companies products work together. Die-Versions makes very intricate and lovely dies; Joy Clair makes high quality clear stamps; and DL.ART makes gorgeous rayon hand-dyed crinkle ribbon and also carries bakers twine and other hand crafted seasonal supplies.

The Celebration Blog Hop will take place on Wednesday, May 18th, Thursday, May 19th and Friday, May 20th. Over the three days all Design Team Members will be sharing with you projects they have made for all the many upcoming Celebrations that come around this time of year, ie....Weddings, Baby Showers, Baby Births, Graduations, Father's Day, and of course Birthdays! All Design Team Members will be using supplies from all three companies to make their projects so you can see for yourself how lovely these products work together and how dies, stamps and ribbons are the perfect combination!!

There will be prizes for those who comment on all the blogs over the three days and who become followers of all the blogs. Die-Versions is giving away a $50.00 Gift Certificate to the Die-Versions store. Joy Clair is giving away 3 $25.00 Gift Certificates to the Joy Clair store, one each day and DL.ART is giving away a $10.00 Gift Code to the DL.ART Store to one lucky winner!! The prizes will be announced on all three of the companies Die-Versions, Joy Clair and DL.ART blogs on Sunday, May 22nd.

DL.ART is running a 3 day Special during the Blog Hop for all of the Design Team Followers ~ 12% off your entire order at DL.ART by using code: DJDHOPS this code will only be valid on the 3 days of the Celebration Blog Hop.

I'm the first stop on the hop. The entire list of Designers for the entire Celebration Blog Hop is listed on the Die-Versions Blog if you get lost along the way.

For my first set of cards, I created baby cards for both a girl and a boy with papers from Lemoncraft. All of the sentiments and the sweet little babies are from Joy Clair's Oh, Baby Stamp set. The babies were placed on a Die-Versions Whispers Stitched Nested Circle die.

The adorable dog safety pin and bunny safety pin are from Die-Versions new Whispers Build a Safety Pin die set (love it!!). This beautiful crinkle ribbon from DL.ART is Sweet Dream from the Baby Bundle and the Blue Twine is also from DL.ART.

This gorgeous DL.ART crinkle ribbon is Baby Pink from the Baby Bundle. The button on the ribbon is a Die-Versions Wee Petites Button die and the Pink Twine is from DL.ART.

For my second set of cards, I used the new Die-Versions Whispers Butterfly Collage die. Isn't it gorgeous??!! I didn't want to take away from it too much, so I popped it up with foam tape and applied it over a Brusho background.

Birthday is a Die-Versions Express Edges die. The sentiment is from Joy Clair's Wedding Sentiments stamp set. I thought the sentiment was perfect for a birthday, too :) This crinkle ribbon from DL.ART is Primrose from the 2016 Spring Bundle. The Yellow Twine is from DL.ART.

This crinkle ribbon from DL.ART is Peach from the 2016 Spring Bundle. The Orange Twine is from DL.ART. The button is a Die-Versions Wee Petites Button die.

And now for my project...

 I created two Mother's Day cards using several Die-Versions products. The cards are pretty much the same except for the colors.

I used a Whispers Hexagon Background die for the background of the cards. A Whispers Ring of Hearts die was popped up with foam tape and placed behind a Whispers Butterfly Punch Border die. Sticky tape was placed behind both the Ring of Hearts die and the Butterfly Punch Border and then sugar coating was sprinkled inside for a beautiful sparkle.

The light is a Whispers Gas Lamp Sign die...I cut off the sign part so it would fit with the design. The butterfly is a Wee Petites Buggy die. Mom was cut from A Little Mint Font. The button on the ribbon is a Wee Petites Buttons die.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

1. Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes
2. DL.Art - May Linky
3. Funday Friday Challenge - Happy Mother's Day

I have blog candy!!
