Perfect Paper Crafting Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to my post for the 

Perfect Paper Crafting

Blog Hop.

If you have come from Got Joy Creations you're in the right place.

If you have just happened across the blog hop, you'll find links below to all the

participants.  You won't want to miss any of them, so be sure to check them out.

For this hop we are featuring the newest products from Perfect Paper Crafting

These are the Perfect Layers Mini Tools and the Perfect Cutting Mat

These are both wonderful tools for cardmakers and scrapbookers alike.

For my card today I stamped "Patchwork Sun" (#6104) from

QKR Stampede

onto white card stock and colored it with water color crayons

then fussy cut it and adhered it to yellow card stock.

Using my 

Perfect Layers Mini Tools, my Perfect Cutting Mat 

and a craft knife, I cut mats around my image then layered it onto

a card where I had cut several layers of patterned and plain colored card stock.

The Perfect Layers Mini Tools gives you perfect mats every time.

I also used the tools to draw the lines around the outside of the card.

I simply used a pen rather than a craft knife.

Be sure to check out the video showing just how easy it is to used the 

Perfect Layers Tools.

Easter card with bubble stencil

Hello Blog fans!

Today I have an Easter card I made to show you.

I love this little "Happy Duckling" (#6807) image from 

QKR Stampede

Sorry, but I don't have a clue who made the sentiment, 

I borrowed the stamp from a friend at a crop 

and didn't note which company it was from.

The 'bubble' background was made using a stencil I created

 with my Silhouette Cameo.

I placed the stencil over white card stock and inked it with 

Distress Inks using a foam blending tool.

The Duckling and sentiment were stamped onto white card stock,

colored with water color crayons.

The duckling was fussy cut and was adhered to the background, 

along with the sentiment with foam tape.

Which was then layered onto a white card base. 

Thanks for stopping by today.

Please come again soon.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Birthday card for my God Daughter

Hello blog fans!

I know I haven't been around much recently and I'm sorry for that.

I won't get into the particulars, but let me just say things have been pretty busy

with me and mine. 

Hopefully, I'll be posting on a regular basis now.

Today I have a card that I made for my little God Daughter for her

2nd birthday.

I used "Watering Hearts" (#8403) from QKR Stampede and

"Happy Birthday" (#36314) from Biblical Impressions

I stamped the Watering Hearts image onto white card stock and 

colored it with water color crayons, then fussy cut it and adhered it to 

the patterned paper.

For the hearts I colored some card stock with water color crayon and 

punched hearts to adhere to the card front.

To finish off the card I added some faux stitching around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by today,

I hope you have been inspired in some way.

Come again soon.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
