Anthony's Paper Craft February 2019 New Release Blog Hop - Floral Background 2

Image
Hello everyone and welcome to the first Anthony's Paper Craft Blog Hop of 2019!!   I am once again teaming up with some of the other design team members - Debra ( Meticulosity ), Mary Kay ( MKW Cards ) and Mike ( Dezines By EM ) to show you guys some of the new sets being released by Anthony's Paper Craft on February 2, 2019.  This is an amazing release filled with several beautiful floral images, a new coffee set, a set of owls, some new tiles....and more.     For this hop I used Floral Background 2, the link of which will be added on Feb. 1, and which is also one of my favorites.  I started by stamping Floral Background 2 with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on white cardstock.  I then used my stitched rectangle die to cut the image out. I then colored in - very lightly and quickly - the stems and leaves of the flowers using my Key Lime Ultra Fine BIC Marker. Next, I colored in the flowers with my Pink Flamingo ...

Hello everyone!!  Today's project is a bit different for me.  I made a card using a "printable template" from Crafts U Print .  I'll explain.  LOL.  I am in a group on Facebook  called  Cardmaking Tutorials, Support and Inspiration .  The group was started in February of 2018 and, in less than 1 year, has grown to 20,848 members (as of this morning).  That is crazy!!!  But it's a great group of people from all over the globe that love to make cards and help each other.   For their soon to be 1st birthday, the group is having a group challenge and their sponsor,  CraftsUPrint ,  is offering a £20 (about $25 US) voucher as the prize! As an incentive to join in the group challenge, CraftsUPrint is also offering each member of the group, a free download - this Roses Handbag Shaped Card kit !  The "printable template" I used for today's card. To enter the group’s challenge for this amazin...

Hello everyone and welcome to 2019!!!  I hope everyone had a great holiday and New Year's Eve!!  Here it was super hot but the fireworks over the city on New Year's Eve was really nice (but not for the dogs).  My mojo also took a bit of a holiday for the last 2 months but it's back and I have more projects in the works than the time to make them. My first project for this year is a design team project for Anthony's Paper Craft - a square Valentine shaker card using the  Valentine's Day 2 .  For the next 3 weeks, each Friday, the design team will have a project for you showcasing this set.  If you place an order online and add this SOTM set to your cart, your whole order will ship for free (USA only).   To make this card, let's start with a list of the supplies you will need -  Valentine's Day 2 from Anthony's Paper Craft Stitched Square Dies   - Gina Marie Designs Foam tape Various sequins, seed beads, and/or glitter ...
