SPD Tuesday Inspiration

Last week started with me being under the weather and it ended in such high note. I went to a craft retreat from Thursday to Sunday and came home to having my mom visiting me all the way from Indonesia. The trip was good for my soul. To be among girls that gets you, that share your interest and simply fun to be with is priceless. Then, get to be with my mom again... that was simply an awesome week.

I am still recovering from not being well, followed with partying too hard (LOL, if you can consider crafting and chatting to the wee hours as partying hard, haha!!). My last night at the retreat, I stayed up all night long!! Seriously, no sleep AT ALL. Not because I want to, but I had a 6AM flight to catch. And, now I am paying for it.

Anyhoo.... today I have this cutie duck card as part of assignment for SugarPea Designs.

Check out SPD Blog for more fun inspiration from the SPD ducklings. Well, that's all from me today peeps. While my mom's here, my blogging mot likely will be spotty as I want to spend as much time with her as possible. But, I'll be popping in here and there. Enjoy your week.

Duckiessss....

Hi peeps. Sorry, I am feeling a bit under the weather and I completely spaced out on scheduling this post. Better late than never, right? Super short, though.

The SugarPea Designs team has created some fun project for your inspiration today. Here's my card featuring my favorite set the Quackers.

And, here's a close up of the card. Love that ducky booties! 

Check out what my team mates has created for today's inspiration HERE. That's all from me. Like I said, super short. ;)

Introducing Funky Wreath - Spring Addition stamp and SugarCut die set. I used the mini blooms on this stamp set to create this sweet spring card.

I added some detail on the leaves using Copic marker. I just thought it would make it a bit more interesting. The sentiment is from Whatever The Weather set that we introduced yesterday. With our open dies, it definitely make it so much easier to line up the image & get that perfect cut.

The Ton Spring Release Blog Hop

Hi everyone and welcome to The Ton Spring Release Blog Hop! Throughout the week, we have shown you many cool projects to showcase our latest beautiful and fun sets. Well, the waiting period is over, my friend. Today, you'll be able to order all the fabulous sets you've seen.

What better way to celebrate than with a blog hop, right? The team along with some guest designers have created some fabulous projects to show the versatility of the new sets. So, grab your favorite drink and enjoy some eye candy for your inspiration.

For the hop, I made a couple cards. Of course, for one of them, I have to go with my favorite flower border set. The Floral Border Cling Background totally makes my heart sing from the moment I start coloring it.

In case you missed it, on day 3 of the release post, HERE, I made an aqua version of this card. Again, I used my ZIG markers to color the flowers. I also used some Copic markers to add details to the solid flower. The sentiment is from Brushed Hello set. Finished the card with some sprinkling of Yellow Belly sequins.

Next, I made a sweet card  to showcase the fun Doughnut Party Cling Background. This background set actually kind of took me by surprise. I thought they're cute then I start playing with it and it really sneak up on me. I love the various shape of doughnut on this set and I had a blast in trying to make the doughnut look real!

And, how adorable is this bear? In case you wonder why the expression on the sitting bear looks different that the one on the set, I simply erase the eye and nose part before stamping the bear. Then I simply stamped the other eye & nose that's included on the Honey Bear set to get the expression that I want.

Now, the giveaway detail. We're giving away three $25 gift codes as blog hop prizes. Winners will be chosen randomly from the comments left on all the blogs. To qualify for this giveaway you must leave a comment on each stop on the blog hop. The comment period will close on Wednesday, April 13 at 11:59pm. Winners will be announce shortly thereafter.

Here's a complete list of the hop participants. Enjoy and thank you so much for all your support for The Ton. Happy Friday!!
