Joy’s Life Cri-kits BLOG HOP

Welcome to the Joy’s Life Cri-Kit  BLOG HOP.

I have made a gorgeous card to inspire you how to use these fun pens with your electronic cutting machines.

Here is the card I made which is a mixture of using the Cri-Kit pens and and then I also used a die cut butterfly to accentuate the colored design.

I am using the stamp set called Sweet Popsicle Puns.

 The drawn butterfly design is from the Art Philosophy Cartridge.

 The die cut butterflies are fro Cheery Lynn Designs.

 I had so much fun this week learning how to use the pen in my Cricut Expression.  The Cri-Kit pens open up a whole new world of possibilities.  I can’t wait to keep trying more things with the many different colors I have.

I used the Glitter Pen set to color in the butterfly and WOW, do those glitter pens shimmer!

I hope you have enjoyed my card, since it is late and I did not have time to get together any Blog Candy…

My blog give away for this HOP is

1)  THIS CARD

2)  A RAINBOW SET OF BUTTERFLIES FROM THE DIE ABOVE

To qualify, be sure to leave a comment on my blog

Our AMAZING design team has lots of inspiration for you, so you can get your hands inky and have fun with {ippity} and Unity Stamps!

For today I have made a fun gift set.

I am using the set called LOADS OF LOVE.

I have taken a 5″ x 7″ cotton drawstring bag from, STATE LINE BAG CO. , and have used it as a gift bag for this necklace card tag.

I stamped the heart from the stamp set on the paper and the cotton bag and then also on fabric, cut the fabric out and appliqued the cut out hearts to the bag and gift tag.

I also stamped part of the “Loads of Love” sentiment onto the front of the bag.

Adding ribbon to the front of the bag adds a cute touch.

I think it all works so well together.

 

I hope you have enjoyed my gift idea…NOW…..

Heather is giving away a prize to one person who comments on all of the DT blogs!  So get commenting!  You should head over to AMY’s blog now to see her fabulous work!  Here is the lineup in case you get lost.

Recipe for Fun Blog Hop

Welcome to the Joys Life RECIPE FOR FUN BLOG HOP.

I have made 2 things to inspire you.

A Popcorn snack set.

I am using the set called Yummy Puns.

 All of my paper and twine are from Canvas Corp.

This adorable little tin is from Joy’s Life.com. You can find them under the tab that says Craft Containers.

I made this on a piece of durable 12 x 12 piece of cardstock so it holds up nicely.

 Aren’t these colors just perfect for a nice sleepover, get together or Foodie type party?

You know how BLOG HOPS WORK!!

Fun in the Sun Blog Hop

Welcome to the Joys Life FUN IN THE SUN BLOG HOP.

I have made 2 things to inspire you with.

The first is a home decor piece.

I am using the set called Sweet Popsicle Puns.

 All of my paper and canvas pieces are from Canvas Corp.

 You can see that I used the stamp and stamped directly on the twill tape and canvas pieces.

I made this on a piece of durable chipboard and it measures 8 1/2″ x 8 1/2″.

 Aren’t these colors just perfect for a nice summer decorative piece?

The next thing I did was this adorable card.  Again all my papers are by Canvas Corp.

 The sentiment is also from the Sweet Popsicle Puns set.

 I think this is just so delicate with the tiny bathing suits.

The phrase is just perfect for this quick a clean card.

 I would love to receive a card like this, wouldn’t you?

PAIN & STRENGTH

 This is a project I made for the sweetest neighbor one could ever have.

 I thought it would be an extra special way to tell her thank you for all the wonderful things she has done for me.

 She is a survivor and this will mean a lot to her.  This is a .svg angel that was custom made for me from a terrific and talented friend, Therese Travis.

 The saying is applicable to many different things, not just the survivor heroes of cancer.  I think that is what I love about this set, it can be used for so many different reasons.

 I put a lot of love into this, for some one I love a lot!

MY KITCHEN TO YOURS

 This is just a project I made up to cover a small jar of  homemade jam.

 I thought it would be an extra special way to give a small gift to friends.

 The jam is tucked securely inside.

 The stamp lets friends know the goodie inside is homemade.

 Very simple to make with very little product needed.

Bunnies and Blossoms Banner Hop for Special Needs Children

Welcome to the Bunnies and Blossoms Banner Hop for Special Needs Children.

Today and tomorrow (March 24-25), 30+fantastic papercrafters have come together to create Spring-themed banners.

They will then donate these banners to Ellen (CardMonkey), who works asAdmissions Coordinator at Pediatric Specialty Care (PSC), www.pediatricspecialty.com.

PSC is a long-term care facility for specialneeds children who are medically-fragile and/or technologically-dependent.

 The babies, children and youths at PSC range in age from birth to 21, and areadmitted from all over the country.

Some are infants, born prematurely and before their lungs have had a chance to mature.

Others have serious birth defects, illnesses or injuries from accidents that cause them to need tender loving carein a home-like environment — many for their lifetimes.

Having had 2 preemies myself, this is kind of scenario is close to my heart.

This is my 7th child and she and my 6th child were both preemies born 3 months early.

I am well aware of the thankfulness parents have for the special things that are done for these babies and children during their long hospital stays.

I hope that all our banners ease the stress and bring a smile to the families we are donating these banners to.

Our banners are meant to cheer the young patients, their families, and the staff at PSC.

Here is the banner that I made and will be sending to Ellen to decorate a child’s room:

I do have some blog candy to give away along with the BIG PRIZE you can see on our HOP HOSTESSES BLOG:

Here is my prize a bright and colorful embellishment kit.  I will pick a random winner from Random.Org.

As for the BIG PRIZE for visiting us today, how about a beautiful handmade (courtesy of our Blog Hop Hostess, CardMonkey!) Cricut Cozy Covers?!

Each one is individually styled in your pick of colors and embroidered words!

These are RARE because CardMonkey does not make them for sale and she usually sticks to paper, not sewing!!

To qualify, there are two steps: 1. Comment on as many Bunny & Blossoms Blog Hop blogs as you wish — the more blogs on which you comment, the more chances you have to win. There will only be one winner, picked at random by Random.Org.

2. Follow and comment on the CardMonkey blog … Leave a comment on our Hop Hostess’s site (http://cardmonkey-business.blogspot.com) and let her know if your name is picked, what 2 accent colors you’d like on your Cricut Cozy Cover, andw hat text you’d like embroidered (up to 3 lines). You MUST be a follower of the CardMonkey blog to win and you MUST leave a way for her to contact you if your name is picked.

So now …. onto your next stop on the Bunnies and Blossoms Banner Hop:

YOUR NEXT STOP……
