Old, New, Borrowed and Blue Blog Hop

Welcome to Day 2 of the Old, New, Borrowed, and Blue Blog Hop!

Wedding bells will soon be ringing as the wedding season is almost here, and the design teams of Red Carpet Studio and The Paper Nest Dolls have teamed up to provide you with some beautiful wedding inspiration by creating projects using Paper Nest Dolls digital stamps! If you've just come across the hop and would like to start at the beginning, please visit Red Carpet Studio.

 Red Carpet Studio is a movie-themed challenge blog that runs weekly challenges, alternating between layout and card challenges each week. All of their challenges are inspired by either a movie or aspect of Hollywood!

  The Paper Nest Dolls is a brand new digital/rubber stamp shop that sells adorable stamps inspired by the designer's children. Their stamps are sold here and they just started a challenge blog as well!

For my project today, I made...

 
Iused an image from Paper Nest Dolls, which was colored using my copics.  On the card base, I used the Love Life stamp set from CTMH for the flourishes, which was embossed in silver embossing powder. The sentiment is from Pink by Design "Here Comes the Bride" stamp set.

The Paper Nest Dolls owner and artist, Christine, is very generously providing us with some blog candy from her online stamp shop and her brick and mortar scrapbooking store! To be eligible to win you must comment on every stop of both days of the hop.

Cute As Button Challenge

It's time for the next Cardz TV Stamps Challenge. The theme this week is...

The sentiment is from Cardz TV Stamps "Good Times" stamp set. The image is from a retired stamp from Pink by Design. I used an old Echo Park paper line, Be Mine and inked around the edges with distressed ink. Of course I added a Bubblegum button from A Muse Studio.

Also, this week's winner will win a Cardz TV Stamp Set! Check out what the rest of the design team came up with.

"Don't Quote Me"

Welcome to another Crafty Cardz Challenge! This week we are challenged to use a quote on our cards. This was the perfect opportunity to create a baby for my mother for a baby shower.

I used a consultant sampler stamp set from A Muse Studio for the image and sentiment on front of the card. The card insert was stamped with Pink By Design Baby Love stamp set.

I hope you enjoyed today's card and stop by Cardz Tv to play along in the challenge.
