Blog Hop

Happy Tuesday Everyone, I am so excited to be included as a participant in Blog Hop hosted by my very own sister Barb and Debbie. They are no less than major magicians with their Silhouette wonder cutting machines. Helen is also joining as a participant :).
 
I am the odd duck out of the bunch, I don't own a Silhouette. I used my Cricut and Sure Cuts Alot software to do my cutting. Now on to the fun part. My sister Barb made the most adorable little ladybug .svg file.
 
 
I layered by background, printed off the sentiments from MS Word. I glued my little Love bug together than popped it up with foam tape.
 
 
 

Supplies: Natural white and red cardstock, Designer Paper-XX, Barb's - SVG File, Sizzix die cut, misc twine.

Debbie has create an elegant and beautiful card template, you need to visit her blog to see :) check for the blog hop list below.
 
I did run into a little bit of an issue with an over tacky new Cricut mat so I ended up just using half of the template. That is the most important part however because it has the intricate lace edge. I used a black layer matt then added the lace layer.
 

Supplies: Natural white and red cardstock, Designer Paper-Bo Bunny, Inspired by Stamping-Hearts, Debbie's SVG file, Recollection-Pearls, misc embossing folder.
 
Be sure to visit the hostesses (Debbie and Barb) of this Blog hop to see the fabulous creations they have created and of course to get the files themselves so you can join in the fun. Please leave a little comment love when you visit. Also don't forget Helen too, she too will have created something fantastic.

    Hi Nina,

    What a joy to include you in with our hop - we are certainly blessed to have talent like yours and Helen's to show off the designs Debbie and I create.

    I think I can safely say on behalf Debbie and I that seeing what others do with our files brings all the reward we could ever ask for!

    I think your black, white and red theme is so effective - quite a visual punch and elegant as well.

    Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to help us.

    ♥ (and pride at you're my talented Sis)
    Barb

    So glad that you joined in on this blog hop. Loved seeing the cards that you made. The ladybug card is classy and the lace edge card is elegant with your color combination.

    It is nice that both you and your sister share your love of crafting. As well as nice to have both of you showcasing your talent.

    Thanks for the inspiration.
