DieNamites and So Suzy Stamps Blog Hop Day 2

Good morning everyone, and welcome to my stop on Day 2 of our fabulous So Suzy Stamps & DieNamites Blog Hop! You should be arriving from Marina's blog. If you've simply wandered in because I'm awesome, you can see the full blog hop lineup here. Also, we're surprising Suzy today with a special Birthday Blog Hop as well - check it all out here!

Much like yesterday's card, I knew what stamp I wanted to use with the Flower Vases as soon as I saw it. However, today's card strays away from the sweet side of So Suzy and jumps right into the snark pit. So if you're sensitive about such things, just keep scrolling past the inside of the card, ok? Ok.

I die-cut watercolor paper and used my Distress Inks to color in the vases and flowers, resulting in such a soft look. A bit of Sea Glass ink through the Abstract Squares stencil set the perfect background for them.

I glued down most of the die-cut, but left some of the petals and leaves loose to add easy dimension. The I'm Sorry... sentiment was heat embossed onto some yellow patterned paper for a great pop of color.

And the inside...oh the inside...hehehehehehehe

I still love that saying! Just some mild snark for your Saturday morning. The Flower Doodle corner stamp I used is now retired (sob) but you can find some of its cousins here.

Now you're off to Henryka's blog to continue the hop. Be sure to swing by our surprise Birthday Hop for Suzy as well!

Of course, what's a hop without prizes?? Be sure to leave each designer some blog love both days for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate to Die-Namites or one to So Suzy Stamps. There are two prizes on the line!
If you're loving what you see here in my caffeinated corner of the internet, I'd love it if you became a new subscriber. Links are on the sidebar!

Happy Crafting!

DieNamites and So Suzy Stamps Blog Hop Day 1

Good morning everyone, and welcome to my stop on our fabulous So Suzy Stamps & DieNamites Blog Hop! You should be arriving from Marina's blog. If you've simply wandered in because I'm awesome, you can see the full blog hop lineup here.

The moment I saw the new Love Heart over in the Die-Namites I knew it was going to be a shaker card. It had been waaaay too long since I'd made one! I stayed away from pinks & reds though because, well, I was totally burnt out from Valentine's Day, and to show how you can totally use this die any time of year.

Have I mentioned lately that green is my favorite color? LOL Seriously though, I love how this came out! I actually used some of my metallic paper horde stash to die-cut the Love Heart, then filled my shaker pocket with some of the delicious Mint Julep Couture Mix sequins from The Ton. I never skimp on sequins filling - this baby SHAKES!

On the inside are two of my new favorite stamps from So Suzy's February release - You Make Me... and Giddy. I'm adoring these new build-a-sentiments, they're just so much fun!

To keep the green going, I stamped them with the Hero Arts Green Ombre ink pad with the help of my MISTI to keep them nice and straight.

Now you're off to Henryka's blog - see you tomorrow for Day 2!
