Girly Card for my Girly Daughter

My card today is one I made for my very girly daughter (who likes pink and everything glittery and princess :) ). I used some of my now retired The Craft's Meow stamps. The chipboard frame is also retired and it's by Tattered Angels. The pretty border scallop is by Spellbinders.

I used Prima papers. I inked the chipboard frame and added some paper flowers because they just seemed to belong there.

By the way, my daughter loved it! :)

TCM Previews: Beautiful Hymns 2

Welcome to The Craft's Meow's May previews. Today we're showing a follow-up set to my popular Beautiful Hymns. I have included some more of my favorite hymns to this set that I hope you like, too.

I did the emboss resist on the background using Telegram, Celebrating You, Cherished sets. The white splash was achieved using Imagine Craft's Goosebumps.

You can see the background closer here. I embellished with Want2Scrap bling, Twinery and buttons!

Make sure you go to the TCM blog for more info on today's previews. And check out the NinaB Designs hop going on now. Have a great Friday!

TCM Valentine Blog Hop and Winners!

I'm so glad that you have come to join The Craft's Meow's Valentine Blog Hop featuring TCM's Valentine/Love stamp sets, which are all on sale right now at 15% off through December 16th. The code is Valentine at checkout.

If you came from Lindsay Amrhein's blog, then you're at the right spot. My card for today uses one of my favorite sets because it allows me to make my favorite vintage/shabby cards. The Cherished stamp set is also perfect for those who like to color. Here I just colored the hydrangea image and left the background as is.

I distressed the hyrangea panel and stitched the edges. The hearts are stitched in the middle and came from my Spellbinders' Home Sweet Home dies. The papers are Melissa Frances. I tucked the words underneath the bow.

Your next stop is my friend Sharri Seffens. To see the list of participants and the info about the giveaway, please visit the TCM blog.

And now, the two winners of my giveaway are...

Peggy and Anita Braddock

Winners, congratulations and please send me your info (via Contact tab above) by this Saturday morning (earlier would be better!) in order to claim the  prize. This will help with organization and avoiding confusion. And my parents, who will do the mailing for me, will be leaving soon to come visit us, so there's not a lot of time to get the prizes out to you in a timely manner. Thank you all for participating. I will have another giveaway sometime next month.

For Our Aunt

It's been a fun break with my family, which includes today since it's a holiday. We had a great Resurrection Sunday/Easter celebration/dinner with our church family and I'm still stuffed from that! I spent most of today cleaning and organizing. It's funny that our break started and ended with cleaning, but it feels good to be done with that...at least for now :).

I have an elegant card for you today that was inspired by my friend Beate Johns, who just happened to have a birthday today! I just love her layers and elegant style. I'm still in de-hoarding mood, so you will see lots of cards here using scraps. I used The Craft's Meow's Cherished and Beautiful Spring sets. The background stamp on the oval is Penny Black's Scented Message. That gorgeous frame was die cut using Spellbinders Floral Oval dies.

I colored the butterfly with Copic markers. The swirly bling is Want2Scrap's Beautiful Borders Endless Waves.

The flower is die cut using Spellbinders Bitty Blossoms dies and the flourish bling is Want2Scrap's Fancy That!, along with the bling strip on the butterfly.

For My Friend

I have a simple pastel card for you today using my Spellbinders Sewing Elements dies, The Craft's Meow's Cherished set and some WeRMemory Easter papers that I won from a recent Paper Crafts challenge. I love these soft colors.

Here are the Sewing Elements close up. I used some very thin paper scraps for these. thus the holes on the thimbles. Otherwise, they are usually just embossed. I do like this "distressed" thimble, though :).

I made a "window" using Spellbinders Deco Dress Forms dress die. I taped the twine over the blue patterned paper to create a sash and  mounted the front panel with foam dots.

Have a great weekend! Don't forget to check out my NinaB Designs FB page to see who won my Want2Scrap bling giveaway!

TCM March Release Hop

Hi, friends. Have you enjoyed the previews? It's been a great time for The Craft's Meow's 1st Birthday Celebrations. Thank you for sharing this special event with us. The party isn't over yet. There are still challenges and prizes to be won, so make sure you check out The Craft's Meow's blog for more info. If you came here from Michelle's blog, then you are on the right order of the hop. If not, feel free to check out the hop list on the The Craft's Meow's blog.

I have two cards to show you today and they are my favorites for this release. I did a unique layout and used my Want2Scrap Borders and Corners bling! For my first card, I colored the butterfly from Beautiful Spring with Copic markers to match  the My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline papers.

The doily die cut is one of my Spellbinders designs, Moroccan Accents dies. The sentiment is from the Cherished set.

You can see the fancy flourish bling here up close. I just love these!

My second card uses the same layout, same patterned paper collection, and the same Beautiful Spring set. The sentiment, however, is from Timeless Tags.

The big flower is also colored with Copics. And here's the bling up close and personal.

I am the last stop in the hop. I hope you have enjoyed it and found many inspirations. Don't forget to check out The Craft's Meow's blog for more info on the prizes, challenges and the free stamp set with purchase to celebrate TCM's first birthday! Thanks for your visit!
