Layers of Color's Nina B Designs Release Hop

Thank you for joining us today for the Layers of Color's release of my former Angel Company stamps.

 After TAC closed, I received so many emails inquiring about my designs. I was disappointed when TAC didn't work out, but was encouraged by the response to my stamps there. Even better, I met several new friends who were TAC fans, so not all is lost...not at all! And now some of these TAC stamps can be purchased through Layers of Color. And because the plates are different between two companies (LOC's are bigger), I have added new images to the set that complement the others in each set. It's great to have a second chance at designing the same sets :). I hope you will like them, too.

I have a few photos to share with you today. My first card uses Dotted Dahlias, which was colored with Copics, as the main focal point. I also used the Fairy Wishes set as a background. The sentiment is from the Beautiful Lace set.

Here is the close up of the dahlia. I had so much fun coloring this.

My second card is a little more involved than my usual cards, but I had so much fun putting it together. The butterfly is from Fairy Wishes set. The word "Mom" is from the Sweet Silhouettes set and the "i love you" is from The Love Chapter set.

I also found some burlap fabric to play with and die cut that using Spellbinders Heart Nestabilities. The birdcage is also die cut (links below). The papers are Webster's Pages and the bling is from Want2Scrap.

As with any LOC hop, we also have giveaways! Leave a comment here on this post and tell me which of my new sets do you like the most. I will pick a winner who will receive that set for free. You have till midnight tonight to enter. The winner will be announced tomorrow! I also have a referral contest going on now in my Nina B Designs Facebook page. Refer your friends to like it and I will pick a random winner who, along with his/her referrer, will win one of my LOC Christmas stamps.

LOC Sneak Peek: I Love You Silhouettes

I have another card for you today that uses the new Layers of Colors stamps to be released tomorrow. I hope you will join us on our new release hop tomorrow.

I used Sweet Silhouettes for the background images. The sentiment and text background are from The Love Chapter. A simple rosette frames it. I'm entering this to the Moxie Fab Championing Award Medallion Challenge. It seems like it's been forever since I entered a challenge. I enjoy them, just not have the time to do it :-(.

Thanksgiving Tubes

I hope you all had a great weekend. I have some Thanksgiving tubes to show you today. We don't have Thanksgiving off in Croatia, so we celebrated with some friends earlier this month. I made this with my girls. It's so much fun doing something with them that we give away.

I used the SRM Tubes for this and some Thanksgiving stickers (links below). The papers are from my stash and they are a few years old. These are also posted on the SRM blog today. Simple rosettes with circle centers (die cut with Spellbinders dies) decorate these Thanksgiving dinner favors.

Here are some close up shots of the tubes and the medallions. I'm entering this to the Moxie Fab Medallion Challenge.

LOC Sneak Peek: My favorite card!

I've been enjoying making cards with the new release sets by Layers of Color (available Nov 16!). I believe this is my favorite of what I've made so far. I used the Dotted Dahlias (flower and leaves), Elegant Labels (label frame) and Dotted Peonies (verse) on this card.The label frame was die cut using Spellbinders Labels 10.

I had so much fun making this layered dahlia, which you can see better here. I used seam binding for a bow, but didn't scrunch it up. I like that it's so soft and feminine.

Here's a close up of the flower, which was colored with Copic markers.

I hope you will join us for the new release hop on Nov 16th! It will surely be full of inspiration and prize giveaways! Have a great weekend!

Peace Snowflakes

Today's card uses some items that I've been hoarding and are now finally getting used. These de-hoarded items include the bingo card and flourish crystals. The snowflakes are from my Vintage Snowflakes set, which is currently sold out. TCM expects them to be restocked next week. I'm so glad so many people love this set. The other supplies are listed below.
