TCM Valentine/Love Blog Hop

We’re holding a Valentine/Love Blog Hop over at The Craft’s Meow today, and you’re all welcome to join us!
It’s a bittersweet post since it’s the last one I write as a TCM DT member. My life has gotten busier, I’m halfway through the pregnancy, and I need to clear out some more space for the sake of my sanity… No worries though, you’re sure to see much more of the TCM artwork on my bloggie, I’m by no means putting down my favourite sets :)
Thanks so much Lisa, for a wonderful time!!

Have you made your way here from Ivana’s blog? Fantastic!! Otherwise please start at the beginning, at The Craft’s Meow blog.

You’ve got the ultimate chance to grab ALL FOUR of the new sets, simply by visiting and commenting on each stop in the hop!
The deadline to comment is 9:00pm PDT, Sunday, December 2nd.

Here’s the first card I prepared for today, with Stitched Sentiments Two (sentiment) and Beautiful Shelf (half-doily). The sentiment was stamped in Memento Sweet Plum and filled in with Copic marker, the for the doily I used Elderberry.
I’ve also Echo Park papers here, some Washi tape and some bits & bobs that I found lying around on my desk.

This simpler card, makes use of Beautiful Shelf as well, this time I stamped and coloured the quilt, and ‘hung’ it on a piece of baker’s twine.
The sentiment is made up of the stamps from Zoom Goes My Heart.

I’m glad you popped in today! Next, you should make a stop at Jean’s blog. Have fun hopping along and good luck with prizes :)
Don’t forget that Stitched Sentiments Two is your November Gift w/ $50 purchase in the TCM Store!!

The Craft’s Meow November Release - Day 4

We’re wrapping the previews of the new The Craft’s Meow stamps today! I hope you like the November Release so far, today we’re sure to make your heart pitter-patter at the sight of the last, fabulous set!!

The Craft's Meow

It’s called Zoom Goes My Heart and was designed by Karen Baker. It’s so trendy and unique, it makes me squeal! Great for all those Valentine cards and more, for the men in your life

First up, I’ve got this simple number. The sentiments are mix & matchable, so are the images. The possibilities are virtually endless.

Here’s one more. The blocks remind me of music volume indicators, and that’s how I used them. It would’ve been better if I stamped three in a row instead of two, I only see it now. Too bad…

Each block was coloured with Copic markers, I hope I managed to convey the message… :)

You can win the Zoom Goes My Heart set, by leaving a comment on the TCM blog today!! You have until 9:00 pm PDT to do so. Remember to check out the other designers’ blogs as well!
We’re wrapping up the entire release tomorrow, with a Blog Hop! Please join us :)

The Craft’s Meow November Release - Day 3

We’re rolling in with the third day of The Craft’s Meow November Release!!

The Craft's Meow

Another fabulous stamp set from Nina is what we’ve got on the menu today. It’s called Beautiful Shelf.

Fantastic thing about the said shelf is that it works equally well as a standing as well as hanging unit, and I used it as the latter, hanging the lovely banner from its ‘hooks’.
The shelf was paper pieced and I added the flourish from Inspired By Audrey set. It looks like it belongs there, don’t you think? :)

The rest of the stamping consists of the new half-doily stamp and the sentiment from Lovely Labels 14 (which I managed to stamp hideously crooked… sigh)
The paper is an old piece of October Afternoon DP (hoarding this one like it’s nobody’s business!) and
the die cut is done with Spellbinders Stars Five.

You can win the Beautiful Shelf set, by leaving a comment on the TCM blog today!! You have until 9:00 pm PDT to do so. Remember to check out the other designers’ blogs as well!
See you again tomorrow, for the last day of previews.

The Craft’s Meow November Release - Day 2

Hi sweets, here we are at Day Two of The Craft’s Meow November Release!! Did you enjoy yesterday?

The Craft's Meow

Today we are featuring another set from Nina Brackett’s ‘sewing’ line, Stitched Sentiments Two.

Do you remember the first set? I paired my sentiment with another fabulous set, Stitched Flowers, coloured both with Copics. I also added the butterfly silhouettes from Fly Free and shaded the ‘ground’ with Versa Color inks.

(Tip: I keep a bunch of old Versa Color cubes that still have some ink, especially for the purpose of sponging. I use the cubes directly on paper, the ink blends fabulously. When the cube starts to dry out, I tap it lightly against another pigment ink of similar colour (e.g. Versa Magic) or Distress Ink and keep going.)

You can win the Stitched Sentiments Two set, by leaving a comment on the TCM blog today!! You have until 9:00 pm PDT to do so. Remember to check out the other designers’ blogs as well!
See you again tomorrow :)
