Happy Birthday Marker POP

Hello everybody, welcome back to Crafty Time 4U, It has been a long time since my last post. I am taking some time off from "blogland" because many new things have happened in my life and my free time is very limited. I hope you understand. I apologize to all of you for my absence here at your blogs, which I miss reading tremendously. I will be back soon with another post explaining things better; however, now we have happy and great reasons to celebrate! 

My favorite Paper Crafting Store is turning six today. To celebrate, we, the Marker POP design team, prepared a special blog hop with lots of prizes and inspiration.
To celebrate the birthday of the Marker POP, I made this card using a combination of New Mama Elephant Stamps, Creative Cuts dies, and Lawn Fawn products.

I used the Mama Elephant Pix's Favorites stamp and die set, along with the Columbus Circle Frame tags Creative Cuts, for this card. The "Happy Birthday" sentiment is from the "Party Animal" stamp set by Lawn Fawn, as is the little cake one of the bunnies is holding.

 

I colored the stamped images using Copic Markers, and I blended some distress inks on the background. The bunny to your left is originally holding a butterfly, but I cut it off with some scissors so she could hold the balloon. I used a Copic multiliner to draw a string for the balloon. 

 

Now for the fun part, you can win prizes from the Marker POP store by visiting the Marker POP blog and each of our design team members' blogs. Here's the line-up; have a fun time!

Lawnscaping Challenge FIT Blog Hop Inspired by the Color Violet

Hello everybody, welcome back to Crafty Time 4U, I hope you had a wonderful time with your family yesterday on Thanksgiving. If you didn't celebrate it, I still hope you had nice day! Today we the Lawnscapin Challenge FIT are having our monthly blog hop sponsor by the "Ink Road Online Store." This month blog hop is inspired the color violet. Let me show you the card that I made and I'll will be telling you a little bit more about it. 

For this card I used the "Baaah humbug" and the "Banerific" stamp sets by Lawn Fawn. I created a violet background using Distress Inks and I splattered some white liquid enamel over the blended background. Then I die cut a snowy hill, which I sprinkled with some glitter embossing powder. 

I stamped and color the sheep with Copic Markers, and then I fill the white spaces with a snow marker to created the fleece appearance. I also used Copic Markers to color the banner, and heat embossed the sentiment. I adhered the card panel to a violet card base, using a tape runner adhesive and add the purple mistletoe die cut.
