CASE it Hop

Compensated affiliate links may be used - these are at no extra cost to you. I appreciate your support! 

 Today, I'm taking part in the CASE it hop on Instagram - I have CASEd a card by Meg Brooks!

 
I used alcohol inks over silver glitter cardstock, and then added some die cuts from the February release from Hero Arts.
This is the card I CASEd (posted here with Meg's permission) - you can find her IG post HERE

I included the alcohol ink and the die cut sentiment. I added glitter paper and excluded white space. I changed the butterflies to a ladybird, and I changed the black border to white. (The ladybird is part of a die set that is only available with the entire Hero Studio release)

Make sure to visit my Instagram account to follow along with all the stops on the hop!

Mini Slimline fancy fold card for Paper Rose

Compensated affiliate links may be used - these are at no extra cost to you. I appreciate your support! 

 Today, I'm sharing a fun fold card using the Candy Treats suite of products from Paper Rose Studio.

I created a mini-slimline Z fold card with an angled front from white cardstock. I chose patterned paper from the Candy Kisses 6x6 paper collection and cut three different pieces to cover the 3 panels of my folded card, allowing a small white border. I chose a striped teacup with macarons (yum!) from the Candy Treats Embossed die cuts set, and adhered it to the front panel. I cut a sentiment from the patterned paper and adhered it with foam tape to the front panel.

Hero Arts new release blog hop!

There's a new release at Hero Arts, and members of the Creative Team are hopping to celebrate! I'm sharing two cards today, both of which are floral to celebrate spring! 

 For my first card, I used my favourite product from this release - a layering stencil set that creates these gorgeous daffodils! We have some daffodils in our garden, and they always make me smile when they're in bloom!

 

For my 2nd card, I used products in the February Hero Studio card kit. I usually struggle with layering stamps, but these ones were very easy to line up!

Hero Arts will give away a $50 gift card, drawn from the comments left across the hop. Enter by Saturday, February 8 at 11:59pm PST, and the winner will be announced on the Hero Arts blog the following week. Leave a comment on all stops for more chances to win!
