So, for our final day, we are introducing these fab sets that's just perfect to celebrate graduation or to encourage people to go after their dram. Introducing For The Graduate & Follow Your Dreams sets.

For my card I start by using the Harlequin Background Cover Plate. I die-cut the panel and adhere the whole thing to my card base. Every now & then I love creating this look. 

Next, using the ever versatile Element Card Builder II, I die-cut the tag. Stamp, die cut & add shading to the hat and adhere to the tag with foam adhesive. For the sentiment, I mix & match 3 different sentiments. That's what I love about these sets, that I can make them work together & create the kind of sentiment I want.

SugarPea Designs Sweet Peek Day 4

Hi peeps, and welcome to Day 4 of our Spring Product Release! We're almost there! For our April release there are 16 NEW products that will be available for purchase starting tomorrow, April 26th at 6 PM EST in the SPD Store.

For today, we're introducing a sweet set that will inspire you to let your creativity sprout, bloom and grow. Introducing this darling springtime stamp set called Sprout Bloom Grow.

I ground my sweet dog that peeking from the flower pot on a tag created by using the Card Front Element Builder II die set. I just love the look of this round top tag. Then, surprise... LOL, yes I am still going strong playing with alcohol pearl ink. I used it to color the tag.

For the background I use the Stacked Honeycomb and arrange them on the background randomly and shaded them with Copic, just so they don't look so plain. I think the addition of some soft colors make a difference, don't you think?

This is such a fun & cute set. I love it and I hope you do, too.

SugarPea Designs Sweet Peek Day 1

Hi peeps! Welcome to day 1 of SugarPea Design sweet peek. We have loads of fun & cute sets to introduce on this release. We’re excited to finally able to share it with you all. Please join us over the next 5 days as the SugarPea Designers and I share Sweet Peeks for the 16 NEW products that will be available for purchase starting this Friday, April 26th at 6PM EST in the SPD Store.

Let’s get on with the project, shall we? For today,  I am playing with Hey Honey set (there are also Honeycomb Cover Plate & Stencil along with Stacked Honeycomb dies that complement this set perfectly).

At the moment I am going through alcohol ink phase, so that’s what I did for my background. I just love the glossy look on this background. It’s so shiny! :) Next, I stamped the bear twice, colored & fussy cut them. Granted there’s matching dies for this set but I wanted a cut that’s right on the line. Besides, I find fussy cut relaxing and this was an easy one.

I want to make the m as couple, so on one of the bear I simply added eye lashes. Hah... I love how pretty she looks. Simply adhere them to the card base. I did curl them a bit and added foam adhesive to the middle of the bears so it doesn’t look too flat. Finished by stamping the sentiment using Grateful set from previous release.

Now,  how would you like to win Hey Honey set? Check out SugarPea blog and leave a comment there.

Our team has some amazing and creative inspiration for you using the products featured here today. You can visit each of our designers’ blogs below for details on their projects. And while you’re there be sure to leave a sweet comment for them, giving you an extra entry to win today’s giveaway.

Honey Bee Happy BEEday Blog Hop Day 2

Hi peeps!! Welcome to Day 2 of TWO days of blog hops celebrating Honey Bee’s 4th Birthday and HUGE Birthday release!! Glad to have you joining the celebration. We have lots of new goodies, including pretty 6x6 paper pads. And, of course, we have a ton of inspiration as well as giveaways so make sure to check out the whole post and all the stops on the hop!

While today I'm only showcasing Spring Peony, Happy Birthday and Radiant Background Stencil, I'll be sharing more projects using the new release goodies over the next few weeks. Make sure you follow my Instagram account HERE as I share more projects there than here.

To start, I use variety of Glitz Glitter gel to create the ombre glitter look. These gels are so easy to use & spread beautifully. Once it dry, I trimmed the panel and adhere it to the card base. Next, I stamped, colored and die cut the flower. Adhere it to the card with foam adhesive.

I also added some white dots with white gel pen to add interest to the flower. Finish by stamping & adhering the sentiment strip (sentiment from Happy Birthday set). There's already lots of glitters on this card, so I keep the rest of the card simple.

Now, if you haven’t had a chance to check out all the new products you can find them all HERE <— click! at the Honey Bee shop!

GIVEAWAY
For day two of this blog hop Honey Bee is giving away a SPRING FLING PRIZE PACK!! This includes: Spring Peony stamp and dies, Spring Fling paper, Spring Fling enamel dots, and the Radiant Background Stencil.

The Ton's Spring 2019 Release Blog Hop

Hi peeps! This weekend we are celebrating The Ton's Spring 2019 Release with 7 new designs! And, there are additional promotions with free gifts. Head over to The Ton's blog for more details.

Without further delay, let's get on with the projects right away, shall we?

Now, this first card using Wildflower Bouquet Builder is my favorite. I really love the way it turned out.

For the rainbow background, I created it using the alcohol pearl on yupo paper. I just love how pretty it look! At first, I was going to leave the flower black and white, but then I couldn't resist to color it. Hah... the power of color. :) For the sentiment, I used my favorite sentiment from previously released Wishful Wildflower. 

Next, a happy rainbow card using the happy Daisy Field set.

Again, I created the background using alcohol pearl inks and heat embossed with the Daisy Field set on it. For the sentiment, I used the hugs dies from Love & Hugs Word Plates dies set.

And, last but not least we're introducing this gorgeous Fantastic Feathers set.

This set might look complicated, but seriously, it's not. I was happily surprised at how quick I can lay everything together. Literally you could finish stamping the whole peacock in 5 minutes. And, since the feathers already so pretty, I feel like I don't need  much to complete this card. I simply stamp & heat embossed the sentiment. Add some shimmer with shimmer marker and that's it.

So, what do you think of these sets? Gorgeous, right? Now, let's talk about giveaway and free gift with purchase.

Giveaways - Three winners will receive a stamp set of choice from our new Spring 2019 release (excluding Fantastic Feathers). To qualify, please leave a comment on each blog or youtube video. Comment period will close on 4/10 at 6pm EST. Winners will be announced on the The Ton's blog after.
