NUTCRAFTER'S BLOG HOP!!

Happy Sunday Everyone!!

Welcome to the Nutcrafter's very first Blog Hop!! We are celebrating the release of the new line of CutiePie stamps! They are so adorable. We've been doing sneak peeks all week and the DT and I have some wonderful things to show you today. Each stamp comes with an accessory stamp, the image and a sentiment. The sets will be available for sale in the Nutcrafter's store on Monday, Feb. 22 (tomorrow).

We have lots of prizes up for grabs during the hop. A winner from each DT member's blog will be chosen at random to win the stamp shown, and one winner WILL WIN THE ENTIRE COLLECTION!! This winner will be chosen from the Nutcrafter's blog but to qualify, you must leave a comment at each stop on the hop. So you better get hoppin'!! We will also be revealing 2 other stamps that haven't been seen yet!! How exciting!!

I am the first stop on the hop and I have used Shopping Rae for my project. Isn't she the cutest!!



I colored by image with my copics. I used K & Co. paper and a Cuttlebug embossing folder for my paisleys. The pink paper is by the Paper Company and feels like a purse! Very cool! I used ink to bring out my embossing and around the edge of my sentiment. I used the Friday Sketcher's Week 90 sketch to create my card.

This is the lineup for the hop and the links:

Anya Does Christmas Stampin' All Year Long!

Happy TGIF Everyone!

Wow, I can't believe it's that time again! Time to start working on your Christmas cards for next Christmas! We are here to help you get started. This year at Christmas Stampin' All Year Long, we have a slight change with the challenge blog. The first posting of the month will be a 3D gift type challenge. Last year the DT were very excited about having plenty of cards done, but some found that they were scrambling at the last minute to complete their gifts and gift packaging.

The rest of the month will be Christmas Card Challenges! We hope that you will play along with us! So let's get started with this week's challenge! This week we would like you to follow a recipe!
2 layers
3 buttons
Glitter

That's all you have to do! Be sure to visit the rest of the Design Team blogs to see their wonderful samples! Be sure to link your project up at the Christmas Stampin' All Year Long blog so we can check it out. Be sure to use keyword CSAYL if you post to an online gallery.

I used Bo Bunny paper, gems, glitter, buttons and I colored my image with my copics. I used a Sizzix embossing folder to emboss the snowflakes and chalk ink to ink the edges of my paper. I hope you like her!!

Thanks for stopping by my blog today. I love to read your comments so be sure and let me know you were here! Be sure to come back tomorrow to see what I have to show you and on Sunday, you'll have to come by and do the Nutshell's Blog Hop for a chance to win some great prizes!

CutiePie Preview Week!!

Happy Tuesday Everyone!!

We are freezing and getting snowed on!! Are you?Wow, we have gotten more snow this winter than we have in forever! I hope you had a great Valentine's day, I did. Look what I got!! My sweet daughter gave me this beautiful rose and my sweet hubby got me jewelry. I'm a lucky girl!!

Today I wanted to let you know that the we are having a preview week for the new Cutiepie stamp release over at Nutcrafter's. If you haven't checked out these stamps, you really should. They are so cute and appropriate for all types of occasions. Each day we are going to show you a creation made with one of the release stamps and then at the end of preview week on Feb. 21, Nutcrafter's is having our first BLOG HOP!!! You do not want to miss this!! We are having prizes galore with the ultimate winner receiving the ENTIRE release set!! How awesome is that??

My sweet daughter Brittany made this card for preview week with the Happy Birthday CutiePie. She is ten and is quite the little crafty nut (I don't know where she got that from)!! She colored her image with colored pencils. My camera didn't like her colors so it was hard to get a good picture of her great card. IRL it's so pretty!!

These are so cute!! I love them! Be sure to visit all week and see the cute samples that are made from the release stamps and get ready to hop!! Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day.
