NinaB Designs November Blog Hop

Welcome to the monthly NinaB Designs team blog hop. NinaB Designs is a product designer for a few paper crafting companies, including Spellbinders, Want2Scrap, Penny Black, and The Craft's Meow. For this month's hop, I challenged the team to create something with Winter and Holidays in mind.

The holidays provide many opportunities for paper crafters to give an extra personal touch to every occasion.  Whether you are doing place cards for a dinner, tags for gift giving or even just hand made projects using your supplies on hand, it is a blessed season indeed!

I used a lot of scrap papers for my projects today. That is one advantage of using dies.:) My first card uses my Sweet Folk Art dies with Simple Stories and My Mind's Eye papers.
Angel
I used felt for the hair/halo and the heart.Using my white pen, I connected the holes on the wings to make them look stitched. All the dies in this set have the holes for a quilted/stitched look. The sentiment is TCM's Season's Greetings.
Angel-det
My second card is a winter scene using my Home Sweet Home and Sweet Folk Art dies (heart banner). Again these were die cut using My Mind's Eye scraps. I hand cut the snow drift.
All-is-Calm
The background snowflake is Madison Paper pack by Penny Black.The sentimet is from All is Bright stamp set, also by Penny Black.
All-is-Calm-det
Here are the products I used for my project:
S5-141 Sweet Folk Art
 
To welcome you back to our blog hop, we are giving away PRIZE PACKAGES so be sure to hop along!  Prize Package #1 includes Spellbinders Holly Accents and Classic Petal dies:
 Prize Package #2: Retired Layers of Colors stamps, Vintage Postcard and Elegant Labels
Everybody is welcome to comment and eligible to win. I will announce the winners on  November 23 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 Nov 27) in order to claim the  prize. This will help with organization and avoiding confusion. Thanks for understanding!
Winners will be picked randomly from 2 of the designers' blogs:

    Nina!!
    I got to use your Layers of Color aRt stamps for my Christmas Craft Event project and they are sooooooooooooooo elegant and powerful--everyone loved them!! When I saw that one of the prizes are some of your stamps and the other are some Spellbinders--I squealed!!
    The cards on this post are so precious and fab!!! I LOVe the combo of the textiles and paper along with the way you created the faux stitching!!!! So ingenius like Spellbinders!!! I pray that your healing manifests soon:) be blessed
