Welcome to the NinaB Designs Blog Hop! The theme of this month's hop is Stamping Techniques. Nina challenged the team to do a technique, which could be as simple as coloring, die-cutting or more involved like emboss resist, making your own embellishments, etc.

For my card I used the beautiful set from The Craft's Meow called Flower Garden.  With different flower head and leaf choices this set has so many possibilities.  I stamped my flowers and stems with two shades of ink color to give it that little extra affect.  The cute little tag is from Love Dwells Here stamp set and matching dies.  The border die is one of Nina's designs called Classic Petal.

I LOVE YOU

Welcome to the NinaB Designs* first team blog hop of 2013! We hope you have had a relaxing holiday break and ready to join us for another year of inspirations and prizes!

*NinaB Designs is a product designer for a few paper crafting companies including Spellbinders, Want2Scrap and Penny Black, and The Craft's Meow.

For this month's hop, Nina challenged the team to create a project with the LOVE theme, which can be interpreted in many ways: Valentine, Anniversary and Friendship.

I decided to try my hand and some mixed media, probably not the smartest thing to do when you are limited on the supplies you are able to use.  Lesson learned!  I used 2 pieces out of  one of the Want 2 Scrap chipboard albums.  Some Gelatos, a little molding paste, and some bling and I have a transformed chipboard album.  I will definitely have another go at this mixed media thing real soon, but will not limit myself on what I can and can not use!

This is pretty long so it did not fit inside my light tent standing up.  This bottom photo was taken in natural light with a piece of cardstock behind it.  For the life of me I could not find my 30 inch light tent!

The NinaB Designs team is giving away these TWO PRIZE PACKAGES: Prize Package #1 includes
Spellbinders Venetian Accents and Motifs:

 

Prize #2 includes 2 retired sets from Layers of Colors stamps:
