BFF You Rock! And A Special Giveaway Announcement!

21 July
Wednesday, 21 July 2010 20:10 Written by Megan Elizabeth 74 Comments

Getting ready for CHA – just a few more days till I leave!!! I’m SO SUPER DUPER DUPER Excited!  I plan to share lots of fun and take pics and post as much as I can while I am there…. Wish so much I could bring EVERY ONE OF YOU With me!!!!

I am really excited to let you all know that CraftECorner.Blogspot.com is doing a Cricut A to Z DVD giveaway on their blog THIS Friday!!!!! :)   YAY!!!  Its going to be sooo fun because not only is someone going to win the DVD by commenting on their blog…EVERYONE who comments HERE will be given a special Coupon Code for shopping at Craft-E-Corner.com :)   SOOO FUN!!!

But…that’s not all for today!!!  I’m going to share this little card I made using Robyn, My Pink Stampers Family and Friends stamp set.  I’m really excited to see Robyn again out at CHA – so sharing this card today just works :)

Lets see – what supplies should we use?!?!

How about:

  • American Crafts Zing Neon Pink Embossing Powder
  • Melon Mambo Stampin’ Up Cardstock
  • Bright and cheery that matches my card stock – Carolyn Gavin K&Company paper
  • My Pink Stamper Stamps
  • Some Ribbon – I like the purple
  • Martha Stewart Punch
  • Pop Dots!

Here is what I used :)   Adtech Glue Runner was the adhesive and I really like this stamp block with grid lines – it helped me line up to the two stamps to make one phrase. :)

Heat embossed – stamp with Versamark – Sprinkle on the Powder – Flick of Excess – Heat with Tool – and Voila!  Embossed Fun Image! :)

See how easy and cheery this is!?!? :)

Used my Martha Stewart punch to cut out two fun embellishments that fit perfectly on the front – and I simply cut out a few of the flowers from left over scraps of the same paper that the card background is made from.  I added white gel pen “faux stitching” lines to the top of the pink cardstock for more interest and pop dotted up the flower in the middle.

From more of the flowers cut from the patterned paper I used – I popped a few up directly on the background to just add dimension without adding more business to this beautiful pattern! :)

There ya have it!  :)   Ready to give to the world’s greatest BFF! :)

I’ll be sure to keep in touch while at CHA – and I plan to share a few surprises with everyone too!!! :)

Have a GREAT day!!!
Megan
