DeNami September Blog Hop: Krazy for KRAFT

Welcome to the September Blog Hop: Krazy for KRAFT!
You should be arriving from Emily's Blog.  If not start out at the beginning by visiting the DeNami Blog.


I plan to make pillows for my formal living room in this color combo. Navy - Coral - Brown/Cream.
So I had to play along with the Muse Challenge this week - you can see Laurie's awesome card here.  Hopefully my card shows I was inspired ... and not a complete copy!  I loved the blue anchors stamped onto the coral cardstock, and how fun is that diagonal cut and sentiment? 
DeNami stamps used: Nautical Stamp Set, Circle Scallop, and teeny star.

Your next stop on the hop is to visit ANDREA!

DeNami Pin-spired Project



Are you Pin-spired by the photo? I hope so! If not, head on over to the DeNami Blog - the cards will knock your socks off! 



I was slightly intimidated and didn't know where to start on this project. I loved the photo, but then I was scared when I saw photos of my fellow design team gals creations!  I didn't think I could come anywhere close. I tried! 
I stamped the elegant floral wreath 3 times onto the aqua cardstock.   I colored in with copics. The white cardstock was stamped with the 3 line border and cherry pink impress ink alternated with orange washi tape.   7/8 hot pink grosgrain ribbon was tied around the card front.  I  thought I should add a sentiment, but my daughter said it was pretty the way it was.... so I left it.

Product Spotlight Blog Hop: Peacock Feathers

Welcome to the DeNami Product Spotlight: Peacock Feathers.


Birthday Blessings was stamped in Sea Breeze versafine ink 1st/  I stamped the feathers onto the green cardstock using black versafine ink. Added some color using my copic markers and then some extra fine glitter to make them pretty.  Topped the card off with some purple grosgrain ribbon.


In case you missed this card during the release in July - I thought it was worth posting again. 

Thanks for hopping by - no you get to go visit Emily.  Make sure to leave a comment on every blog - you have a chance to win these pretty feathers!

DeNami Product Spotlight: Apples & Pears Stamp Set

DeNami Product Spotlight: Apples & Pears Stamp Set.


My kids have amazing teachers!  I always make sure they know how much we appreciate them.  This is a simple thank you that would work for any occasion.
I stamped the solid apple in Red Versafine and the outline apple stamped in black and colored in with green copic markers.  It looked a bit too checkerboard like so I added the elegant floral leaf sprig.  I sponged lime green around the edges too.  The Thank You banner has lime green gingham in the background and was stapled on using Red Staples.

August DeNami Blog Hop: Sweet & Simple!

You should be arriving from C'es La-Vie Designs.  If not, start at the beginning by visiting the DeNami Blog.

Normally I craft when my kids are at school.  Since they are off of school right now they helped me come up with the idea of decorating a candy bar for this blog hop. "Sweet" to them is definitely candy and ice cream!  I grabbed a full sized twix bar because I loved the pretty gold ends.  I stamped the new ornate flourish in blue onto white cardstock.  I then added the leaf image from the solid rose accent set in Champange ink.  I stamped a Thinking of you sentiment onto a white cardstock tag and tied it on with curly gold ribbon.  ATG tape is super strong so I taped the cardstock and just wrapped it around the twix... easy!!
Thanks for hopping by.  Now you get to go visit Thia!

DeNami Pin-spired #11


It's time for another Pin-Spired post.  Make sure to stop by the DeNami Blog to see the other creations made by the Design Team.

Didn't Paulina pick a super fun Citrus photo!  DeNami has a great selection of fruit stamps.  I stamped then on a diagonal and added the stitched border in between the rows. I scored a section on the white cardstock and added Happy Birthday!  I'm hoarding the gorgeous chevron ribbon, but thought it looked great on this citrus birthday card.  I know, why buy it if you aren't going to use it!

DeNami Product Spotlight BLOG HOP: Sand Castle

Welcome to the DeNami Product Spotlight: Sand Castle
I've used this pretty stamp numerous times, and it's just as cute as it was years ago.





Wendy Elliot ------you are here







I stamped the Sand Castle onto a cream circle. I stamped the seashells stamps onto a cream strip of cardstock.  I colored all of the images in using copics.  The kraft paper was embossed using an embossing folder and the big shot.  Scalloped Circle die cut layered behind the circle... easy!
