PoppyStamps & Memory Box Blog Hop

Memory Box and PoppyStamps are having a joint blog hop starting today December 2nd and running through December 4th.

You should have arrived here from Mary's blog and if you didn't you may want to start at the beginning of the hop so you don't miss out on a chance to win a prize or two.

The theme of our hop is Holiday Gift Tags or Wrappers!

Here is a look at my completed tag and treat bag for the hop.

 Normally this treat bag would hold a couple of holiday cookies that I share with the neighbors. But I haven't started my baking yet so added some twix candy bars instead.

For my tag I cut out several of the Vintage Happy Holidays and Leaping Deer and glued them together to get a chipboard look to them. I used the Stars stencil to add a little bit of dimension to my tag as well. A sequin added to the nose of the deer and it was done.

Here is a close up of my tag.

Here is the complete list of today's hop participants.

Bananas Over You ~ Ai Zoo Babies Blog Hop

The Art Impressions design team is having a blog hop today to introduce some new Zoo Babies images.

If you are following along in hop order you should have arrived here from Sharon's blog. 

I was so excited to see that I got the Bananas Set Sku#4531 to play with.

.

(Copic used: E41, E42, R20, R30, E35, E55, E57, N0)

As soon as I saw this cute little guy I knew that I was going to create a shaker card. I used a chipboard frame and put vellum on it and then added some sequins from my stash. I stamped the sentiment right on the frame.

I am the last stop on today's blog hop so if you didn't start at the beginning or if you think you have missed anyone please start off here at the Art Impressions blog.

Hello Ai friends we are having a blog hop today featuring our Girlfriends stamps.

You should have arrived here from Renee's blog.

Today I am sharing a card that I created using the newly released Girlfriends Giant Cake image.

This stamp set reminds me of my two besties from high school. Getting together always involves cake or some other kind of dessert.

This is definitely a fun image to color and I also added some paper piecing to the clothing.

If you are following the blog hop you should have arrived here from Rudlis/Irena's blog.  You can get all the details including what candy we are giving away here.

For my tag I used the 'string of ornaments' die and cling stamp along with the 'may your holiday sparkle' cling stamp.

I colored the ornaments with copic markers and then added some glitter and glossy accents over them.

It is finally friday and that means time for the blog hop over at A Day For Daisies.

You should have arrived here from the ADFD blog and as you make your way through the hop make sure to leave a comment on each designers blog. There is a grand prize for the hop and it is the entire July Club release images.

Normally on Fridays we have a new release but this week we are switching things up just a little and Tammy is re-releasing two sets. The cupcakes and triple scoops are back. She also has a challenge for us and the challenge this week is to use your image 3 different ways.

Tammy is providing two freebies for you to use for your 3 projects. The winner of that will get a $12 gift certificate to the shop.

Here are my projects using 3 of the cupcake images. First up is a gift card that I made. You can tie it direct onto a package or tuck it inside an envelope. You can't tell but there is 3 layers of frosting on that cupcake.

Next up I have a checkbook cover that I made using all three of the cupcake images. Sorry for the poor quality picture I couldn't get the plastic to not pick up my light. 

I love making checkbook covers and am always changing mine to fit my mood or the season.

Lastly I did a gift tag for a gift using the blackberry cupcake. Doing all this coloring on these sure made me want something sweet like cake or cookies.

I hope you are enjoying the hop and next you should go to Vera's blog and check out what she created with her images. If you get lost you can go back to the ADFD blog for the main list.

Here is the complete list of designers in the blog hop. Don't forget to welcome Audrey when you get to her blog as she is our Guest Designer for the month of July.
