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.

SUPPLIES USED:

Have A Beauty-Ful Birthday/ CR84FN52

Hello blog friends!  Are you having a good weekend?  I have a card to share that I made using the new CR84FN colors for this week.  I just love pastels and how romantic it always makes a card look.  Plus it is easy to embellish when the colors are softer...at least for me it is.

I finally bought some of the Spellbinders Border dies.  LOVE THEM!  OMG...what have I been missing?  I love that you can mix and match them.  I did not fully understand how they work, until I got them home and played around with them.  I can see I will need more!  See that pretty label stamp set?  That is Lovely Labels 18 designed by Nina Brackett for The Craft's Meow.

Don't forget to stop by the rest of the design team's blogs.  I know they have some fabulous designs for you to be inspired by.

Spread Your Wings and Fly/ Nina B Designs Hop

Welcome to the first ever Nina B Designs Dream Team Blog Hop! We are so thrilled to have you join us on this very special day. My friends and I have some projects to show you that feature the Nina B Designs' Spellbinders™ Paper Arts (Home Sweet Home and Sewing Elements), The Craft's Meow Stamps, and Want2Scrap bling.

Here is my project:

I made this adorable wall hanging to put in my bedroom.  I have all these colors in a quilt.  I was trying not to over do it with too much going on.  I love the double row of lace I decided to use at the last minute.  

I used...

 Spellbinders Home Sweet Home :  I am in LOVE with this set.  The wings are the prettiest I have ever seen.  I used pretty My Minds Eye: Lost & Found /Market Street and Follow Your Heart/Be Happy and inked the wings with Tim Holtz Tattered Rose and painted on Smooch Glitz in Frost.
