The Craft's Meow's May Blog Hop: Flowers

Welcome to The Craft's Meow's May Blog Hop. Our theme this month is Flowers. If you came from Lindsay's blog, then you're at the right spot. Please check the TCM blog for the complete list.

I used a few sets for my card today. First I created a background collage. If you follow me on Pinterest, you might have noticed that I've been inspired lately by mixed media which is gaining more popularity among cardmakers lately. This card was inspired by that art form. I stamped the hexagons (from Thanks Bee to Thee), I love you collage (Sent with Love), cancelled stamp (Telegram) with Versamark ink onto a white card stock. I then heat embossed it with white. I blended a few Distress inks to achieve the colorful background.

I stamped the stems (from Flower Garden) on a Want2Scrap tag. I fussy cut the stamped flowers (also from Flower Garden) and adhered them using foam dots. I distressed the edges of the tag, sentiment and background panel. The sentiment is from the Telegram set. I finished the card with a natural Twinery twine and Want2Scrap LeCreme pearls.

One commenter will get a stamp set of their choice. He or she will be chosen from the comments left on ALL BLOGS. Deadline to be eligible for prize is11:59 EST, Thursday May 9th. Winner will be announced Friday, May 10th. Your next stop is Sharri Seffens. Happy hopping!

Bee-utiful Bling Card

Hi, friends! I have a card with bee-utiful bling today that I shared on the Want2Scrap blog a while ago. I stamped the flowers, bees and sentiments. The bees and sentiments are from The Craft's Meow's Thanks Bee to Thee stamp set.

I used Want2Scrap Beautiful Bling Endless Waves for the bees' flight path. The bees were mounted with Glue Arts UCut it 4x4 foam blanks.

TCM Previews: Thanks Bee to Thee

Welcome to day 4 of The Craft's Meow's 1st Birthday Celebrations. Today's stamp set called Thanks Bee to Thee is truly special because it's the very first Free with Purchase set that TCM is offering. I designed this set that will allow you to customize your background/border with the very trendy honeycomb design.

Thanks Bee to Thee has a border and different images that you can stamp inside the honeycombs. I created a card set for you today. I picked the colors to match the twine I have available :).

 

Here are closeups of two of these cards. I picked some punny sentiments that cover many occasions.

I colored the inside of the wings with Copic markers. Notice the embossed background? That's Spellbinders' new So Trendy M-Bossabilities. It's much prettier in real life.

There will be prizes and other fun stuff going on as we celebrate TCM's birthday. Make sure you check out The Craft's Meow's Blog for more information on giveaways and more info about today's Birthday Celebration challenge! The prize is something you really want to win! :)
