CardMaker Magazine and Avery Elle Blog Hop

Hello Everyone:

Happy Monday and welcome to the CardMaker Magazine and Avery Elle blog hop.  You should have come to my blog via Caryn Davies wonderful blog and will next be going to Yainea's awesome blog to see what she created.  If you did not come here via that path please start at the beginning at the CardMaker Blog.

I was so lucky to be sent some wonderful Avery Elle items from their brand new release a Geek Love stamp set and matching Geek Love Die.  I had such fun creating this card with these dies and stamps.  The stamps are awesome and so easy to work with and the dies cut perfectly.

My daughter is a nerd and she is starting an EMT class tomorrow, she already has her CNA and is trying to get more experience before her senior year in college and applying to Physician Assistant Graduate school.  She is an overachiever and kind of nervous so I thought this fun card would make her laugh.

Be sure to hop all the way through to see what my fellow participants have created for you.  There will be a prize offered on the Avery Elle blog.

CardMaker and Ellison/Sizzix Blog Hop

Hey there CardMaker and Ellison/Sizzix lovers.  We have been having a blast since June 2nd with a hop with designers from both Ellison/Sizzix and CardMaker. You can go back to the CardMaker blog to see what you have missed.  I was so lucky to be able to play with this gorgeous die set called Happy Birthday Step Ups.  It is so easy to use and there are so many different pieces that you can coordinate your project in any way that you wish.   They also sent me those gorgeous mint colored cutting pads.  Drool, they sure are gorgeous and so much fun.

Here is a close up of the card.

Here is a close up of the cupcake gift box.  Can't wait to decide who to give this to.  Thanks for hopping and be sure that you go to Jeanne Streiff's blog.  Link is below.  I have always loved her work and can't wait to see what she created for you all.

Pretty Pink Posh: http://prettypinkposh.com/blog

 My son just graduated from Northeastern University in Boston and his school colors are red, white and black.  I used my Silhouette to create the card front with the words cut out.  I adore shaker cards and thought this would be something different for him.  I used the Sparkling Clear sequins and Silver Confetti along with a touch of glitter from Melissa Frances.  I finished off my card with some twine from The Twinery and some enamel dots from Doodlebug.

Here is a bright and cheery card that I made using Pretty Pink Posh's Stitched Banner Duo and Stitched Labels 1.  I love how bright and fun these Doodlebug papers are and they are perfect with these fabulous dies.  I also used three different colors/types of sequins on my card.  Sequins make me happy.

This is my final project for today's hop and I created a gift box and made a shaker out of a lei cut file from Silhouette,  The springtime mix of sequins has a lovely white flower in it which gave me the idea to make a flower shaped shaker.  Shakers are not just for cards and you can use them on so many things.

Thanks for looking at my projects and be sure to hop along and comment at Pretty Pink Posh for a chance to win some goodies.
