Winter 2014 Release Designer Blog Hop

I am so excited because our Winter 2014 Release is finally here!!  We have an amazing blog hop full of inspiration today and we are so glad that you are here. Thank you so much for all your comments and likes during our previews this week.  We read each and every comment and it really makes our day!!

For a summary of all of our new products that are available for purchase right now check out this section in our store .    Be sure to scroll all the way to the end of this post to read about the fun giveaway we are having.  We will be showcasing projects using our new sets starting today and will continue to show them throughout the next few months.  I can't wait!

 Let's get to the hop.  I created this first card using the double frame from our new You're Invited dies and die cut the words from our Thank You die into it.  I layered all the pieces back into the negative spaces to create a single layer card.  It looks so cool yet is so simple to do.  I love that!

I created this next card using our new Made With Love stamp set.  When I was illustrating this set I wanted to create a bold pattern that could be used on the perimeter of a card.  I love the results!  The trick is to stamp one of the borders at one corner of the card and stamp your way around the edges.

This gift card holder was created using our Just A Note dies and Simply Said: You stamps and dies.  I cut two sheets of paper using the Just A Note die and layered the green piece inside of the red one.  I really like the layered effect.   That die cut "You" fits perfectly on the front as well!

 For my final project I stamped images from our Bunting stamp set onto our Circle tag.  This will be so cute tied up on a birthday present!  Did you notice those new ink colors?  Is anyone still reading this far down the post?! ha!  They are new and we will be debuting 9 new colors at CHA.  Hooray!

You are off to Karolyn next...  Happy Hopping!!
