NinaB Designs Blog Hop: Make It Mini

Welcome to the NinaB Designs Blog Hop! The theme of this month's hop is Make it Mini, in honor of February's being a short month. I challenged the team to create a project that is either small (mini-cards, mini-boxes, etc.) and/or intended for someone small (babies, kids, even pets :).

I have three cards for you today. My first card is for a little girl. It's perfect for my three at home :). The house was stamped with TCM's Love Dwells Here set and die cut using Spellbinders Home Sweet Home.The papers are Authentique's Lovely collection.

How do you like that trendy Polaroid frame? I made that using Spellbinders Classic Square dies (tutorial HERE). The sentiment is from TCM's Vintage Rides. The frame is embellished with my Want2Scrap Chevron border bling. The sparkly heart and silver strip are also by Want2Scrap.

My 2nd and 3rd projects are mini cards that you can tuck inside your kids' lunches or send with a gift. The papers are Penny Black Madison. The butterfly and sentiment with it are from PB Free Flight. The fun card on the right uses TCM's Fun{tache}tic. Notice I used one of the mustaches for eyebrows. 

Here you see again the mini-Polaroid frame I made using Spellbinders dies and Madison papers. A little of twine, button and Want2Scrap pearls finish the card.

Here are the NinaB Designs products I used for my cards:

The Craft's Meow's Valentine/Love Blog Hop

Thank you for joining us today. The Craft's Meow team is showcasing projects that use Valentine/Love stamps. If you came from Lindsay's blog, then you're at the right spot. Please check the TCM blog for the complete list and so you don't miss the information about the stamp giveaway!

I have two cards for you today and I had so much fun making them. The first one uses Ladies & Gents (hat) and Fun{tache}tic (mustache and sentiment) stamp sets. I inked the edges with white ink. The paper is by Carta Bella.

I added some googly eyes that are such cute additions to the hat and mustache. The face is framed using Spellbinders Labels 28. I gave the chalkboard look to the funny/punny sentiment. Some twine and button embellished the card.

My second card uses Zoom Goes My Heart stamp set. It's a simple card, which is perfect for a male Valentine. The papers are My Mind's Eye.

Your next stop is Sharri Seffens. Happy hopping!

Fun-tache-tic CAS card

Thank you for sharing my excitement regarding my new designs for Want2Scrap! As soon as I am able, I will have a giveaway of them right here, so stay tuned!

Today's card is for CAS-ual Friday challenge (the mustache was paper pieced using the same paper as the flag), which is being sponsored by The Craft's Meow, and for Moxie Fab's Around the House challenge (I used staples and kebab sticks on my card). I'm also entering this to the Lily Pad patterned paper challenge. I don't know if you've noticed, but I have been making "scrappy" cards lately. I've been inspired by so many beautiful cards at Two Peas in a Bucket whose primary fans are scrapbookers. I have such a collection of patterned papers, why not use them up?

I used Crate Paper papers, TCM's Fun{tache}tic set and twine. It's super CAS, took no more than 15 minutes to put together. Have a great weekend, friends!

Have a Fun {tache} tic day

Hello, friends. Before I share today's card, I just want to inform those who purchased from my recent stamp sale, there might be a slight delay in getting the stamps to you. My sweet mom is doing the mailing for me. One of my parents' close friends passed away and they are just slowing down a bit for a couple of days. Thank you for your understanding.

It's been a month since I sat down to create a card. We were on vacation, then school started and now we are working on our house to prepare for a more comfortable winter. Life gets busy, and it feels good to take a break and get creative.

My Craft's Meow teammates shared their projects using my latest TCM stamps, Fun{tache}tic a couple of weeks ago. and I finally got to sit down and create with this unique and fun set. I had a blast coming up with sentiments to go with this trendy image. I colored the mustache with Copics.

This is the set I used:
