Handmade Cards Blog Hop

Hi everyone and welcome to Paper Crafts Handmade Cards Blog Hop! Yep, today we are celebrating this latest special issue from Paper Crafts that filled with so many fabulous projects. You should arrive here from Sarah J. Moerman blog. If not, you can always find the link for all the participants below.




I am very excited over this issue. After all, I am still pinching myself that I have 7 projects published on this issue. Am so grateful & happy over this. 

For today's hop, we were asked to create project with certain amount of supplies. My assignment is to create a card using 7 supplies. Looks like today is all about the number 7 for me. Hm... maybe I should buy lottery ticket? Hah.... Here's my card:



The supplies I used are:
1. Cardstock (Aqua Mist from Papertrey Ink)
2. Stamp (Feathers from Wplus9 Fanciful Feathers set)
3. Ink pads (Hero Arts Tide Pool, Papertrey Ink Berry Sorbet, MementoTuxedo Black) 
4. Dies (Feathers from Wplus9 Fanciful Feathers set)
5. Glitter tape (American Crafts)
6. Patterned paper (for the bird from My Mind's eye paper pad)
7. Black enamel (Ranger)

At first, I was worried that 7 supplies would be hard to fulfill. But, as it turned out I could easily use more than that. This challenge definitely makes me realize even CAS card could use more than 7 supplies. And, I am happy that I finally putting my American Crafts gold glitter tape to use. It's been sitting in my drawer brand new for over a year! Yikes...

With this little speck of gold, I am entering this card for Moxie Fab All That Glitter Is Gold challenge.

Of course, no hop would be complete without a giveaway. Paper Crafts is giving each of us an extra copy of this issue to giveaway. Simply leave a comment here by midnight CST, Tuesday, September 24, 2013. 

That's it from me. Thank you so much for stopping by here. I really appreciate your visit. From here, please hop on over to Vanessa Menhorn blog.
