Textured Fun Blog Hop & Giveaway



Welcome to the Textured Fun Blog Hop and Giveaway!  I am so excited to be hopping along with some super talented ladies, all showcasing Nina Yang's new stamp sets available at Avery Elle.

So here is my first card...

IMG_9875.jpg

I die cut 4 tags using Simply Tags dies.  I took the striped image from Textured Tiles and stamped each with a different color.  I added all four tags onto a scrap piece of paper so I could easily center them on the card front.  Once I had that done, I popped the tags up on foam tape and cut the excess off.  I tied one tag up with some white twine and added a sentiment from Simply Tags: Everyday.

Here's one more CAS card...

IMG_9880.jpg

Here's how I did it...I took a piece of typing paper and cut it in fourths. I took 3 circle dies, and die cut one on each.  Then I just moved them around on the card until the circle was where I wanted.  I used one of the pattern stamps from Textured tiles and pressed firmly down.  Once I had the pattern I wanted, I stamped a sentiment from Simply Tags: Everyday.



Now lets talk prizes!  You can leave comments on all of the blogs on the hop, for the chance to win these great prizes!

You can also link up your own project over at Nina's blog!

    Just GORGEOUS! LOVE the circles - and why didn't I ever think of using thin typing paper?!?!?! I always try thick cardstock, and it never works very well! Have to give that a try!
