I LOVE this blog hop! I look forward to it all month long. So many talented paper crafters, using so many great techniques and products is a great inspiration to me. To see what I am talking about, please click HERE. The challenge is to make a project from scraps leftover from all of the Christmas stuff. I was also inspired to use the color block technique demonstrated by Maile Belles HERE. While Maile used a die to cut out her color blocked design, I used an Angled Labels die to cut out the window for my sentiment. This project became a gift-card for my daughters birthday:
Other products used: PTI card stocks, Summer Sunrise, Hawaiian Shores, Simply Chartreuse, Hibiscus Burst, Soft Stone, White.
Happy Day stamp set (PTI)
Recollections dimensional stickers
Tonic corner punch
Sakura Glaze Pen
I hope you are participating in the blog hop and will leave a comment here so that I can see more of your projects as well.
Thanks for stopping by,
Suzanne
