For my project, I chose to work with one of the Cover-a-Card stamps (my favorites). This one is called Fireworks and I stamped my background using Versamark and embossed in silver. I then added a little bit of the Ruby Flower Soft to the centers of the fireworks and also sprinkled it on other areas of the background. It's hard to capture on camera, but the card has sparkle and shine along with texture.

I added some patriotic ribbon from stash and then added my sentiment.

Be sure to visit and comment on each of the ladies' blogs along the way for your chance to win. You will find the complete list of participants below. Happy Hopping!

I decided to use one of the Nursery Rhyme downloads for my heart shaped card.  After I printed my image, I cut out the two lambs with the heart die and added some Ultra Fine White flower soft to them for texture.  The sentiment was made in Word and cut out with one of the MFT Mini Wavy Pennants dies.

This is perfect for Valentine's day or could even be used as a gift tag. Now you are off to see what Colleen has for you.

I created a luminary from a template, perfect for one of those little electric candles.  I stamped my images onto vellum and placed them into the "windows".  Each "window" has a different image. The poinsettia was created with the Spellbinders dies.

Flower Soft Scrap It Frame It Blog Hop

For mine, I added some paper and a couple of embellishments.  It was really easy to do and the finished product will make a nice addition to my daughter's room.

Flower Soft - MLA Card Creator Blog Hop

Today the Flower Soft Design Team is hopping with some adorable projects!  I have a couple of cards for you using the new Mabel Lucie Attwell Card Creator kit.  This kit comes with images, sentiments and patterned paper...everything you need to create multiple cards quickly.

click to enlarge

For my first card, I used the Ivory Spring Flowers Multi Function Die Cut cards as my base and folded it in half.  I added a little patterned paper from the kit to the left side and added a little ribbon.  I popped up the die cut flowers using a stylus and added a little Citrus Ultrafine Flower Soft to the center of the flowers.  I then cut the main image using an oval nestabilities die, matted it with a larger oval and popped it onto the card base using dimensionals.

For my second card, I cut out the image, adhered it to a white mat and then adhered the whole panel to the card base.  I stamped my sentiment from Floral Sentiments #2 and then added some Toffee Ultra Fine Flower Soft to the roof to add texture.

The images are so cute and the cards are really easy to put together in anyway you wish.  Now you're off to check out what Jen has for you.  Be sure to check out the rest of the Design Team's creations and then head back to the Flower Soft Blog for some prizes.

Flower Soft - Santa Toppers Blog Hop

Today, the Flower Soft girls are hopping and showing you the newest Santa Toppers from Flower Soft.
The images are so fun and make card making super easy.

click to enlarge

For my card, I chose the image of Santa writing his list from Workshop Santa.  I thought how fun it would be to pair it with  script patterned paper to mimic the list.  I distressed the edges of the script paper with some ink and then mounted the Santa image on top using dimensionals.  I also used the "I Believe" sticker from the Santa Die Cut Silhouette stickers and just placed it along the bottom.  For an extra touch, I added some of the Glitter Frosting to areas around the card.  It adds just the right touch of sparkle.

Flower Soft Blog Hop - Noel Treat Box

I hope you are enjoying the Flower Soft Blog Hop so far.  Today I have a little Chirstmas treat box for you using the newly released Flower Soft Christmas Sentiments stamp.  Isn't it so adorable?  Perfect for a little candy or small gift.

click to enlarge

I used the new Flower Soft Christmas Sentiments stamp set and embossed the Noel sentiment in gold.  I added a couple of the poinsettias from the Christmas Poinsettias Die Cut Dimensions kit and then added some Gold Flower Soft to the centers.  The final touch was a little gold double bow.

Your next stop is Jen's fabulous blog and I am sure she has something wonderful to show you.  Then don't forget to head to the Flower Soft Blog for a chance to win some prizes.

Flower Soft - Wishing on a Star

Today the Flower Soft Design Team is bringing you some inspiration using Silhouette stamps and stickers.  I chose to use one of the Flower Soft Display Globe and the new Winter Wonderland Silhouette stamps.  I used Distress Inks to sponge the sky after I masked off a "moon".  I added a little of the Glitter Frosting to the tees and the sentiment is actually a Die Cut Sticker from the Christmas Sentiments collection.  This was very easy to make and the globe gives it just a little special touch.  You could also fill the Globe with Polar White Flower Soft or more Glitter Frosting and make this a shaker card.

Today the Design Team is showcasing a couple of really adorable Mabel Lucie Attwell stamps which were just released at CHA last week.   I chose to work with Cool Baby since it's the middle of Summer and I love all the sunshine this season brings, even if it does get a little hot.

For my card, I stamped the image from Cool Baby and colored with copics.  I then stamped the bow onto a piece of patterned paper and colored in the polka dots, cut it out and paper pieced it onto my focal image.  I added a little Liquid Glass to the lenses of her sunglasses to make them look like glass.  Isn't she cute?

Your next stop is Jen's crafty blog.  Have a wonderful day and I hope wherever you are, the sun is shining.

For my project, I used the adorable Mimi in Paris stamp set from Penny Black to create a Valentine card.  Isn’t she just so cute?  I stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then colored her with copics.  I used an oval nestabilities to cut out the image and then matted with Penny Black cardstock cut using the largest of the Beaded Oval dies.  I added glitter to her wings and then used Neon Pink Ultra Fine Flower Soft for the flower in her hair and also for the little heart I cut out with a Martha Stewart punch.

The cardstock base is also from Penny Black and is wonderful to work with.  One side has a color and the other is white so it’s perfect for cardmaking.

Flower Soft Blog Hop - Let's Talk Turkey

Today, the Flower Soft Design Team is getting you in the mood for Thanksgiving with a challenge. Make a project using a turkey or other animal and at least one Flower Soft product and upload it to your blog or online gallery.  You can get all the details, including information on the prizes, at the Flower Soft Blog.  Be sure to check out the other Design Team members for more inspiration.  Links to their blogs can be found on my sidebar or on the Flower Soft Blog.

For my card, I decided to use some paper I have had for such a long time that I don't even know who makes it.  I used an oval nestabilities die to cut out the turkey and mounted it onto one of the Spellbinders Fancy Tags.  I added Burnt Sienna and Sage Ultra Fine Flower Soft on the tail feathers.  The sentiment was also fussy cut from the same sheet of paper.  So if you have some paper you don't know what to do with, a little selective cutting and some Flower Soft could be just the ticket.
