Crafter's Companion HSN Hop!

If you are looking for The Alley Way Stamps Blog Hop, click HERE or scroll down!

Hi! Today, I am hopping along with Crafter's Companion in honor of Sara Davies on HSN July 1! YAY! Sara will be showcasing a TON of products on HSN this time around including some of the new Die'Sire Edge'ables (which I happen to love).  So, because I love them so much and because I'm so excited that Sara is sharing them, I made a shaker card using the Thank You So Much Edge'able.

Oh, and I'm GIVING ONE AWAY, too!!! Yup! Read on for the details!

To create the shaker, I cut a window out of white cardstock and then die cut the "Thank You" and adhered it on.  I created that ombre effect with Spectrum Noirs BT3 and BT4.  For the background panel, I stamped some little bugs from the EZ Mount Sentimentals: Nature set and colored them in using OR3, DG2, DG3, DR3.  I added some Distress Ink: Broken China to emulate a sky.

Sara will be showing off the Ultimate Tool, some Spectrum Noir Markers, Create-A-Card dies, the Boxer Board, and more, not even including the Edge'ables! You don't want to miss out on all of the goodies!

How to win on my blog:
Leave a comment about what you are excited to see Sara share.  For bonus entries, also follow my Facebook page and You Tube Channel.  You must leave a comment on this blog post to be entered. A winner will randomly be chosen by July 2 and posted on my blog.  You have from now until Wednesday, July 1 at 11 am CST to enter.

All of my teammates are giving away stamps or dies...make sure you hop along to everyone’s blog, and leave comments to win their fabulous prizes! And be sure not to miss the huge prize packs on the Crafter’s Companion US blog and over on Sara Davies’ blog!

Pinspired/Crafter's Companion Joint Blog Hop

Hi and Welcome to the Pinspired - Crafter's Companion Joint Blog Hop! If you have arrived from Audrey's blog, you are on the right track!

Just in case you are new to either Pinspired or Crafter's Companion, let me tell you a little bit about them both:

Crafter's Companion

Crafter’s Companion is a U.K.-based company with offices in Anaheim, CA and Northern England. Well known for our innovative paper crafting tools and accessories, our products are distributed and sold worldwide. Our most popular products include Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers, the Ultimate Crafter’s Companion Tool, the Ultimate Pen Storage, embossing folders, and EZMagnetic Storage panels for metal embossing and cutting dies. Our staff prides itself on top-notch service with a 100% customer satisfaction philosophy. If we have exceeded your expectations, then we’ve done our job!

Pinspired Challenge Blog

Pinspired Challenges was created by a group of girls that LOVE Pinterest and crafting.... We came up with the idea of the challenge in the latter part of 2012 and the challenges launched in January of 2013.  Our DT, or as we like to call them, "Pin Heads" have scoured Pinterest to bring you some amazing inspirational pins.  We will post a brand new challenge on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of every month. You will have until Thursday of the following week to link your entry onto the challenge post.  That's 9 whole days to play along!!!! Inspirational photos are for you to interpret anyway you want.  You can take from the colors, the style or the technique - whatever floats your boat! You can also feel free to make any kind of craft you want as well, whether its a card, layout or altered item.



From May 3 - 5, we are showcasing Crafter's Companion stamps from Sheena's A Little Bit Floral collection.  You have TWO chances to win! You can hop around and comment on all of the blogs for one chance to win a gift certificate from Crafter's Companion (May 3 - 5, 2013).  For a second chance to win, you can play along!

Use the image above to create a project and post it using InLinkz on the Pinspired Blog.  You have until May 9, 2013 to participate for a chance to win a gift certificate from Crafter's Companion.  If you create and comment on the Blog Hop, that is two chances to win!

Now, onto my card! I used the Iris set along with my Spectrum Noir markers to create this card.  I carefully trimmed around the one petal using finger trimmers and then placed it over the yellow patterned paper to pick up the yellow in the center of the flower.  The 'Love' sentiment is from Sheena's Scene on Screen: Wouldn't It Be Lovely 2.  I was inspired by the yellow, green and lavender from the inspiration picture.  I also tried to keep my coloring very soft, since the image was blurred and softened toward the top.

Remember, the InLinkz is up on the Pinspired Blog! I hope you will play along for a chance to win! And don't forget to comment on all of the blogs for a second chance to win, too! Good luck and Happy Hopping!!!

Crafter's Companion Birthday Blog Hop

Welcome to The Crafter's Companion Birthday Blog Hop!

I'm so happy you could join us and hop along today!!!! We are celebrating Crafter's Companion's birthday with this fun hop. The blog hop starts today August 6th and ends at midnight pst on August 10th.

If you came here from Cheryl's blog, then you are on the right track. If not, you might want to start at the beginning on Carolyn's blog.

There is going to be an awesome prize that you will definitely want to try to win so let's get started!!!

First you need to be a follower of my blog and of the Crafter's Companion informational blog. You must be a US Resident, leave a comment on this post AND find the "secret" letter on each design team member's blog that spells out a "secret" phrase.

**My letter is "L".**

When you have all the letters for the phrase, email the phrase to Bindy at bindy@crafterscompanion.com. When the hop is over, Bindy will use Random Generator to pick the grand prize winner. And what is that grand prize you ask?!!

How about a $100 gift card to the Crafter's Companion online store!!! WOO HOO!!

To inspire you along the way, I made this card!

I used this darling image from Humphrey: Make a Wish.  I colored it in with my Spectrum Noir Markers and I distressed all of the edges.  I also punched some flowers and added them, along with Washi tape and stickers! Oh, and of course, I added some glitter to that wand and crown.

 

I have a giveaway on THIS blog too, so be sure and follow me and leave a comment while you are here. I will draw a random winner for my personal blog giveaway and post the winner's name on August 11th. Here is what someone will win: the Popcorn the Bear - Party Time stamp set!!
