Blog Hop for Look On The Bright Side Kit Release from Erin Lee Creative!

Hello fellow crafters and happy September 1st! Today we are having a kit release from Erin Lee Creative called Look On The Bright Side. You should have arrived from Cheryl's blog - if not that's ok. Below I have included the entire blog hop as well as the prize information. But first lets talk about this kit! If you got Erin's Somewhere Kit (otherwise known as the BEST rainbow kit ever) this is like a version 2. A little extra that goes perfect with the original Rainbow Kit (which is still available). Want to see what's in this kit?

Awesome right! And the price - can't beat it! So I'd like to share a little creation I made using the stencil and then a saying from the stamp set. When I saw that stencil I just thought about the sun shining or the rainbow glowing and knew I was going to have to use foil. 

It may be hard to tell but I used the Snow White Pearl Cardstock to put the foil on. And I wasn't sure about ink and the sentiment so I ended up using clear embossing powder on the stamped black sentiment. 

Man that baby shines let me tell you! Hope you enjoyed my card! You can go to erinleecreative.com to get your kit today! Thanks for stopping by! I'm the end of the blog hop but just in case you didn't start from the beginning, I have included the entire list below.

Sneak Peek using the new Look On The Bright Side Kit from Erin Lee Creative

Hi eveyone! Happy Thursday :)  I'm up on the ELC Blog today to showcase a card using a new kit that will be released on September 1st. The kit is called Look On The Bright Side and it's fabulous! It's got rainbows and awesome sentiments. I mean they are so on trend right now with all the things happening in the world. This kit will definitely help spread happiness to others. And so many people need that right now! 

This card was such a fun card to make and oh so easy. Just used Versamark and the rainbow for the background. Used my white gel pen to add some accents. And then used my markers on the sentiment to get the different colors. It defintiely makes me happy and I hope it will make someones day when I send it. 

Come back on September 1st to see the release as well as another card (using one of Erin's fabulous stencils from the kit). Thanks for stopping by and happy stamping! 

Erin Lee Creative August Release & Blog Hop (With Prizes!)

Welcome! You should have arrived from Jennifer's Blog. If not, no worries - the complete blog hop list is below and you can visit everyone to better your chance for prizes. Now, let me just tell you there are SO MANY awesome products being released today that I have NO idea how you will decide on what to buy! I mean look at all this goodness! 

Seeing all that it was hard deciding what to make. I ended up using just one stamp set and three different stencils to make 3 cards. Below is the stamp set Fall Critters 4x6 Stamp Set.

These are the 3 stencils I used: Plaid (released last month), Funhouse Squares & Floral Wreath

Here's a quick look at the three cards. It was brought to my attention that it looks like I made a Fall, Winter and Spring card using all of the animals. Total accident on my part but a happy accident at that! 

 

For the squirrel card I used distress inks on the background and Copics to color him. 

For the Fox I again used Distress Inks for the backgound and copics for coloring. I fussy cut the fox out and popped her up to give her some dimension. 

And for the last card I used watercolors on everything. I then colored in the rabbit using my pixie dust glitter so she shines beautifully. 

I don't know which one is my favorite. I love them all! And I love that one stamp set and 3 stencils can make all that. The possibilites are endless! 
Thanks for stopping by. We are giving away three $25 gift certificiates to three lucky winners chosen from comments left across all of the blogs participating in this hop. Please leave a comment on any participating blog (list is below) by Monday, August 24th. Three winnners will be announced that week on the Erin Lee Creative Blog.

Blog Hop for the New Release from Erin Lee Creative plus PRIZES!!!

Hi and welcome to the Erin Lee Creative (ELC) Blog Hop! You should be arriving from Cheryl's blog. If not, be sure to check the blog hop along the way in order to be eligible for the prizes. 
First up check out the release:

So many awesome new goodies. I honestly had trouble deciding which one to use for the blog hop. I have been a lover of all things succulent for years - mostly cause it's the one plant I can't kill. So when I received the succulent set and dies I was over the moon excited. 

This card is simple but has a wow factor and although it looks like it took some time it came together rather quickly. And if you use your stamping platform you can really whip out a lot of the succulents and leaves quickly. 

I did a google search of succulents, just to get an idea of the different color combinations I wanted to use. I used multiple greens, mint, yellow and reds to make these. 

Blended the background, splattered some metallic gold and white and there you have it. A simple card with a WOW factor :)

I'm proud to say that I have been chosen to be a part of ELC design team along with these other 5 beautiful ladies. Each one of them brings a unique take on ELC's products. I honestly am just as excited as you to do the blog hop and see their wonderful creations. 

About the blog hop, You should start at the Erin Lee Creative blog. Be sure to follow the hop and visit everyone's blog - and comment on each one in order to be eligible for the prize. 3 random winners who comment on all the blogs will receive a $25 gift code to use in the ELC shop.

Blog Hop Using New Release From ELC Plus A Giveaway!!

Hi Friends and welcome to Erin Lee Creative Blog Hop featuring the newest release in the shop. You should be arriving from Jenny Colacicco's blog. If not, no worries! At the end of my post is the order and links to all the participants in the Blog Hop. You'll want to make sure you visit and comment on them all for a chance at a $25 gift certificate. Two will be given away and the winners will be chosen from various blogs & posted on Saturday, February 1st. So let's get going... I have to admit I had some trouble with this release because I absolutely loved it all. I wish I could share more creations with you but I've narrowed it down to my two favorites. First up is a Valentine/Anniversary card using the Triangle Nesters Die and the Oh Em Gee Stamp Set. 

I know there are so many possibilities with this die and stamp set but my mine is on Valentine's right now and so I had to make a love card. I used some double sided pattern paper for the triangles - I used a little purple tape to "hold them together" then ran them through my Xyron. Once I added them to the paper I took off my purple tape and stuck it to the side to use again. That stuff is amazing! 

Here's a close up of the dies. 

And that saying...I mean Oh Em Gee, right? We say that all the time as a society so it's definitely on trend right now!  Next up is one of my favorites and I made a video showing how to use it with the new Deco Foil Transfer Gel Duo - so cool! I'll be sharing the video later this week so be on the look out for that.

Look at that foil - Erin has started carrying some foil in the store as well but not this one. I got tons of foil rolls from my hubby for Christmas so I was dying to try this out. LOVE the way it turned out!

The card is definitely full of shimmer and shine and Oh so pretty! I can't wait to do more projects using foil! I used the Leopard Stencil, Love You Die, and Nesting Heart Die set as well.  Thanks for stopping by! Don't forget to leave a comment for a chance to win in the giveaway and Good Luck!

So Excited - Erin Lee Creative New Designer

I was very fortunate to be asked to be a part of Erin Lee Creative design team. She has some amazing products and she is getting ready to have a new release October 7th. I have a sneak peak of one of her new items that I think you will love. 

Stencils are all the rage right now (especially for me) and this heart maze stencil is so fun to play with. I had a blast using my brushes along with my distress inks and doing a rainbow like theme on it.  Being a child of the 80's the rainbow, the wonky heart shape maze as well as the LYLAS saying just brings make TONS of happy memories. I feel like I need to send this to one of my grade school friends so they can feel the happiness too. 

This is the same card without the filters so you can see the TRUE colors. It's screams LOVE! Thanks to Erin for having me and I look forward to sharing my creations with you! Thanks for stopping by!
