The hop begins on Laura’s Blog and if you’ve been hopping along, you should have arrived from Jen R’s blog

***And now, onto the show!***

For my first project, I have a card using the adorable new Lilah set:

Lilah1

I stamped Lilah in Versamark ink and colored her with colored pencils and OMS.  Her dress was paper pieced and then she was fussy cut out.  I added a piece of “grass” and some felt clouds cut with the Puffy Cloud Dies (which are discontinued so be sure to grab them at 50% off!).

For my next project, I used the new Journaled Weekly die set (which I helped design!!) to make a bunch of Project Life journaling cards:

PL YNS Cards

I plan to do a “week in the life” spread soon in my PL album, so these cards will be perfect! 

Each card started with the 3x4 card die (it’s actually just a tad smaller so that it will fit into the Becky Higgins PL page protectors) and then I added a little bracket top in kraft and the day of the week in white cardstock.  For the fun little accents, I used the pieces from the same die set, and also arrows from the Awesome Arrows die set.

BTW – the 3x4 die cuts like a dream!  You can cut different materials and even your pictures!  Because the center is blank, you can see exactly what you’re cutting to make photo cropping a breeze!  And you can also make 3x4 cards out of different materials including heavy cardstock, felt, cork, wood veneer or anything else you’d like!  I’m in love with this die set!

Karen is also offering a terrific Hop Special - 15% off your entire order including  sale items!  Make sure you take advantage of this great deal!
