CardMaker & Impression Obsession Christmas Blog Hop!!


What a great day for a visit!   CardMaker Magazine Blog Design Team  has joined up with the Impression Obsession Design Team for a Christmas Blog Hop!  If you are hopping with us you should have reached me from Jeanne Streiff 's blog   blog.  If you'd like to start at the beginning and get all the details, including a list of all the folks with projects today and to learn how you could win a prize of your own, click here to jump to the Impression Obsession Blog or here for CardMaker Magazine Blog!

 Impression Obsession will be hosting a giveaway on their blog---they will be giving away two $25 gift certificates. 

 I had so much fun mixing the Impression Obsession dies and images together.  This stamp is by my friend Dina Kowal who I met at Splitcoaststampers.  I was shocked when I saw her name on the package.  I knew she was an amazing artist, I didn't realize she did designing as well.   

I think this silhouette captures the magic of Christmas perfectly.  The anticipation of Santa coming on Christmas night.  I stamped the image on patterned paper and then inlaid the die. 
My second card features the Wreaths and Garlands clear stamp set.  It includes  everything you need to stamp a pretty garland or wreath for just about every occasion.  The set includes pine cones, poinsettias, sunflowers, candy canes, oak leaves and more. It was lots of fun inking up the images in different colors and trying different arrangements.  


Again I stamped my  scene and then used the die cut to inlay the bells into the design.   A sprinkle of sequins adds a little sparkle and shine - just what's needed for a festive holiday season!
Ready to see more?  The next stop on our hop is the super sweet and talented  Jenny Gropp!!   

 For your convenience here's a complete list of everyone with projects for the hop today! 

Jeanne Jachna   That's Me!

CardMaker and Inchies Blog Hop!

Hello and Welcome!   Today the CardMaker Blog DT and the folks at Inchie Arts have teamed up for a blog hop to show you lots of projects made with their wonderful Inchie Squares.  If you are hopping along you should have reached me from CardMaker Magazine Blog. That's also where you can get all the details about today's hop.  Inchie Arts is also having a give away today - you can read more here.

 So what exactly are "Inchie Squares"?  They are high quality matboard squares.  They are ideal for stamping, coloring, painting, embossing, collage, and detailed ink work.   They come in different sizes and colors too. 
My first card features a beautiful fall scene.  The images were stamped with pigment Ink, and the color is crisp and clean!  I used both the 1" as well as 3" squares on this project

For my second project I stamped spooky Halloween images on 1" Inchie Squares and then distressed the edges.    I mounted them on die cut squares that resemble stamps and arranged them in two rows.  Some gems, a pretty bow topped with a paper flower, and a beaded spray I found in the wedding section of the craft store make this look really fussy. 
Ready to see more Inchie works of art?  Your next stop is Mae Nazareth! 
For your convenience, here's a complete list of everyone with projects today!  Don't forget to check out Inchie Arts to get more information on the prize and how to win!

CardMaker & The Paper Loft Blog Hop!

Hi and thanks for stopping by!  It's a great day for a blog hop!  CardMaker and The Paper Loft have joined together to day to show you some beautiful cards!  If you are hopping along today you should have reached me from  Debbie Seyer's blog.  If you'd like to start from the beginning you can get all the details here at the CardMaker Blog, or here at The Paper Loft.
The Paper Loft has lots of different paper collections to fit every occasion.  Today I'm working with the New!  Truly Scrumptious Collection.   All three of my cards today were made with the 12 x 12 paper pack and three sets of the accompanying card stock accessory sheets that retail at $1.00 each.  I used one of the accessory sheets as the focal point of each card.
 
 The papers coordinate beautifully and the only embellishments I added were ribbon/twine, easy to find embellishments (buttons/sequins, pins) and die cut borders and matts for the images.
 
The next stop on the hop is Andrea Eason.  But be sure you leave a comment before you go!  There is a $25 gift certificate from The Paper Loft up for grabs and maybe the lucky winner will be you!

Happy Hopping and GOOD LUCK!!

CardMaker - Roses to Inspire

Lucky me!  I'm posting on the CardMaker blog today!  I was asked to create a project based on something that "inspires" me.  Well... I covet what I see (Sorry!  Didn't mean to go all Hannibal Lector on you)... but really......   I am inspired by what I see everyday.    Need a little hint?

CardMaker & The Stamps of Life Blog Hop

What a great day to stop by!  CardMaker Magazine and The Stamps of Life are having a joint blog hop!  If you are hopping along  you should have reached me from Frances Byrne's blog.  If you'd like to start at the beginning you can get the hop list and details here, at the CardMaker blog. 
The Stamps of Life has lots of neat stamp sets with coordinating dies from Sizzix.  I used two sets on my project today : Tickets2Stamp and Spinners2Stamp.  I try to be inspired by what I see, and can you guess what I've been doing this summer?  Yes - living in the Midwest means there are lots and lots of festivals and carnivals!!  
I couldn't resist  this easy to stamp spinner.  The set comes with a large circle stamp complete with dividers, little sentiments to stamp in the different sections and even a solid triangle stamp so you can color up each section.   I love the "Open My Present First" sentiment!
I stamped a bunch of little tickets from the Tickets2Stamp set to stick inside my card.    Who wouldn't want a whole roll of these to collect on?  They were really easy to stamp - and again the set included a solid stamp so you can easily add some color onto each ticket. 
Here's a peek at the inside of the card - just one section from what I'm calling the "Birthday Wheel" with the winning sentiment! 

 Ready to see some more?  Here's a list of all the designers posting projects today.  The next stop on your hop is Vanessa Buzard.  But before you go - please leave me a comment.  The Stamps of Life will be giving away THREE Stamp Sets ($12.95 value or less) to one winner!  You can get all the details here on the Stamps of Life Website. 

 Here's a complete list of all the designers with projects today!
