A Caffinated Cropper Customer Blog Hop!

G'morning! I'm excited to show you what I have created for the

Caffinated Cropper's

Customer Blog Hop!!!

If you arrived here from Stephanie Creations,
then you are in the right spot ;)

If not, and would like to start from the beginning and get more deets, please be sure to visit Amy, Caffinated Cropper! Amy will be choosing a random commenter from her blog to win a mini kit!!! So be sure to hop along and leave some love :)

Amy has some fab kits going on! Three have already been released! and I am anxiously awaiting for the fourth one to be released hopefully on June 12th!!! There is so much yummy playful stuff to these kits! 

I have 2 cards to share with you!

For my first card, I used the "Cherry On Top" mini-kit that I won from the last hop :) LOVE the cork and blue lace! The Green Bazzill CS is from my last kit... I thought that this pretty LYB DP would be perfect for my lil Emmy from Baby Bud Designs... the only non-kit item is the doilie tag behind Emmy (Martha Stewart).

Hurry! There aren't many "Cherry On Top" kits left! and you don't want to miss out on "Birds of a Feather" kit either! Get over there and check out the kit contents HERE!

Next, I used my precious "Beez Kneeez Kit" again and I STILL have a ton of paper and ribbon left over!!! I don't believe this kit is for sale anymore, but I'm sure the other kits are just the same! So much stuff to play with, it's unbelievable!!!
Another reason why I love this kit so much, the Nikki Sivils Willowbee stamp set that came with it! One of my fave bumbly stamp set ever!!! Yes, these kits come with some stamps too! You must check it out ;)   

Everything on this card is from the kit, except for the black cardstock!

And here are some other projects that I created in the past using the Beez Kneeez Kit...

A lil reminder! Everything on my cards is from the kit except for the black cardstock!
Can you believe it!? :)

TGIF!!! Have a fabulous start to your weekend :*)

Busy like a Beee!!!

Hi again!
First, if you would like to meet my "Princess and the Cherry" please scroll down to the next post too :)
Thanks!!!

I had a lil fun last night while watching a movie with DH :)

It was a lil before midnight, so I decided that I just had to play some more with my Beeez Kneeez Kit!!!

I needed a lil something extra to stay awake ;) 

So I decided to use the following challenges...

When I started my cards, I was using this challenge -

- Whimsical Wednesdays: Diedrich Dare Challenge #32: Color Challenge

But, I missed the midnight deadline, LOL!
So, then I moved on to their next challenge for this week :)

- Whimsical Wednesdays: Diedrich Dare Challenge #33 - Spring

The Bumble Bees will be buzzing around soon enough ;)

Also used these challenges ;)

- 2 Sketches 4 You - Kazan's Sketch #51 

- Crazy 4 Challenges #34 - CASE it! (I CASEd Barbara!)

- Die Cuts R Us Challenge #36 - Double Duty (Create 2 projects!)

- Papertake Weekly - Do Something Different!

(My 2nd time stamping directly onto DP

and trying to keep it plain and simple, lol, so not my style!)

Everything is from the kit, except for the black base of the cards...

To be honest, I wasn't too sure about the above card...

it was plain DP, but then I just had to add the flower to the center of it ;)

What do you think?!

Should I have left it CAS???

I love these sparkly handmade dictionary paper flowers!!!

This was my last one :( sniff!

I may have to try to copy and create some of my own :)

Bumble Bees are bumbling!!! ;)

Hope you likey!!!

Dog Gone Stamps - Flower Set Note Cards

TGIF everyone!!!
It's been a busy, busy day!!! and I still have to get ready to go to my sister's 1st Prima class today at our LSS!!! So exciting :)
Well today I have my first set of cards to share with you using a stamp set from Dog Gone Stamps!!!

This stamp set is simply called the "Flower Set". It's a set of 5 beautiful different flower arrangements...

On my first set, I used my Atyou Spica Glitter Markers to color Dog Gone Stamps' Flower Set, Jenni BowlinGrandma's Apron DP, Bazzill Red and Black CS, The Robin's Nest Dew Drops, Making Memories Ribbon and buttons from Papertrey Ink...

Here's a closer look at my first notecard set of 5:

Here's another set of (3) note cards... I love how simple it is to change the coloring of the stamps to match my theme...

On this set, I used my Atyou Spica Glitter Markers again on the Flower Set, Making Memories Black Tie DP and buttons, The Robin's Nest Dew Drops and Bazzill Black and White CS...
Thanks for stopping by!!! I have more Dog Gone Stamp images in the works ;) Check back soon to see more!!!
