Thanks

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:

Nina B Designs 3nd Blog Hop

Hello, friends! After a much needed summer break, the NinaB Designs team is back to showcase some of Nina's designs for our monthly hop. Make sure you check out the new Summer CHA Releases by Spellbinders, Want2Scrap and Penny Black, and her monthly release by The Craft's Meow.
For this month's hop, Nina challenged us to create something with gift-giving in mind. Here is my project:

A week ago I decided to take the plunge and make my own laundry soap.  I had seen so many pins on Pinterest and after some research I bought the supplies needed and within about 5 minutes I had myself some laundry soap.  You can find the link HERE to the blog that I got the information from.  It does wash up great too!  So with that, I wanted to make up a cute little jar for my best friend.  I knew this would be something she would appreciate.

 Here are the products I used for my project:

Homespun

Fancy That bling

Madison paper pack

Lovely Labels 18

To welcome you back to our hop, we are giving away these TWO PRIZE PACKAGES:

Prize Package #1 includes Spellbinders Ironworks Accents and Motifs:

 

Prize #2 includes The Craft's Meow's Vintage Rides and Retired Layers of Colors Dotted Dahlias and Dotted Peonies Stamp sets:

 

Winners will be picked randomly from 2 of the designers' blogs:

Nina Brackett * Beate Johns * Beatriz Jennings * Clare Buswell * Heather Jensen * Jennie Harper * Julie Overby * Lea Lawson * Linda Lucas * Viola Mahr

Everybody is welcome to comment and eligible to win. I will announce the winners on  September 22 right here. Due to the number of prizes being given away on my blog and my dependence on my mom to do the shipping, I have to ask that the winners email (via Contact tab above) me with their info within 4 days (till September 26) in order to claim the  prize. This will help with organization and avoiding confusion (I'm 40 now and sadly this happens more often than before :). Thanks for understanding!

Nina B Designs 3rd Blog Hop

Welcome to another NinaB Designs blog hop. The NBD team and I have something exciting for you today. I challenged them to create something that uses the NinaB Designs Spellbinders die cuts from non-paper products on their projects. Did you know that Spellbinders dies can cut all kinds of material? Kim Hupke, the Educational Director of Spellbinders Paper Arts did a video showing all types of products you can cut with the dies that you can find HERE.

I used Basic Grey patterned paper and Spellbinder's dies in Standard Circles LG and Eyelet Circles.  The bling is from Want 2 Scrap called Fancy That.

For my project today, I die cut corrugated cardboard wings with the Home Sweet Home dies and cut the dress form from chipboard then patterned paper using the Sewing Elements collection.

Sewing Elements

Home Sweet Home

Nina B Designs 2nd Blog Hop

**** My CR84FN post is below***

Welcome to the NinaB Designs's 2nd blog hop! We had a great time last month and we just want to thank you for your enthusiasm and encouraging words. The NBD team has new projects to show you today featuring NinaB Designs Spellbinders™ Paper Arts (Home Sweet Home and Sewing Elements), The Craft's Meow Stamps, and Want2Scrap bling.

We have added a new twist to our hop. Not only do we have tons of inspiration for you, but we also are joining in the Crafty Friends' challenge that you can participate in. And of course, there will be prizes up for grabs! You will find more info below.

I decided to make another wall hanging.  I FINALLY got a Spellbinder's Grand Die.  They work great for altered projects.  I took some cardboard and ripped the top layer off.  You are then left with a mess to try and peel off.  I simply mist that thin layer that is left with a little water and let it sit a few minutes.  It peels right off!  Then I painted a thin layer of acrylic paint to the ridges.  I cut the two patterned paper layers embellished and stitched them together and decopaged them to the base.  As you can see I used the Sewing Elements set for the sewing machine and scissors and the Home Sweet Home set for the small button die cut.  I also used a stamp set designed by Nina called Sew Lovely.  Paper is from My Minds Eye. Bling is the pretty Border Bling called Fancy That that Nina designed for Want 2 Scrap.

THE CHALLENGE: If you choose to participate in the challenge, create a new project that uses TWO die cuts. They don't have to come from two different die cut sets. Then, link it to the Crafty Friends' challenge blog. One participant will win the Sewing Elements dies. You can enter as many as you want.
THE RULES: Leave a comment on as many blog hop stops as possible. FOUR commenters left on the NinaB Designs team blogs will be picked to win prizes. One comment per blog please. This is open to our international friends. Here are the links to the NBD team:

NinaB Designs * Beate Johns * Beatriz Jennings * Clare Buswell * Heather Jensen * Jennie Harper * Lea Lawson * Linda Lucas * Mona Pendleton * Viola Mahr * Crafty Friends' Challenge Blog

THE PRIZES: There are several prizes to be won. One Crafty Friends' challenge blog participant will be randomly picked to get the Spellbinders' Sewing Elements dies

Four commenters left on the NinaB Designs team blogs will be picked to receive the following:

 Spellbinders Home Sweet Home

The Craft's Meow's Thanks Bee to Thee stamp set

The Craft's Meow's Lovely Birds set
