Handmade Cards Blog Hop + GIVEAWAY!

 
Hi Everyone! Welcome to the Paper Crafts blog hop to celebrate the newest special issue Handmade Cards!!!! Here is a peek at the cover! Doesn't it look like fun?!?



I was challenged to make a card using only 3 supplies! I pulled out some of my favorite supplies and used cardstock, a journaling card and decorative tape.
  


Paper Crafts is generously giving away a copy of Handmade Cards to one of my blog readers! For your chance to win please leave a comment below letting me know what your favorite paper crafting supply is. I'll leave comments open until Tuesday September 24th.
 
Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy the rest of the hop....

Mama Elephant: October Anniversary Stampede!

It's Mama Elephant Birthday Stampede time!  This is so awesome, right? I'm so excited you've joined me from Stephanie's blog! Today I'm a sharing a lot of stamping goodness! Now that I'm counting, my card uses 4 new Mama Elephant stamp sets ! This card all started with the sentiment. My kids are always buzzing around the house singing and one of their favorite is Everything is Awesome (Lego Movie anyone?). :) I started with a faint pencil line to create AWESOME from the new Block Party Letters . I colored them in with Copics and then did some creative masking and stamping from Happy Everything to add the beginning of the sentiment. Next I stamped the penguin and hat (from the new Artic Penguins ), colored them and die cut them for a perfect cut. The soft, grey striped background was created using the new Boutique Borders . All stamps and dies can be purchased NOW at the Mama Elephant store HERE . Next up? The very talented JJ Bolton !
