Blog Hop with Quietfire Design and Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Hi everyone-- it's day 3 of our Blog Hop and giveaway with Quietfire Design/ Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.  It's my turn today to share one of my favorite new stamps with Quietfire called "May we all walk".  And it's from a brand new set called "A Bit of Fragrance".  With all the things going on the world today I think this is a perfect sentiment to share with everyone.

For my card i went with a simple layering technique overlapping different colors and layers of dies that coordinated with my flowers and the stamp that i picked.  I used lots of 3D Foam Squares to divide the layers and attach the flowers and a few small adhesive Dodz to attach the ribbon.  And of course to glue all the layers together i used my favorite EZ Runner Permanent Strip tape runner that i couldn't live without.  It's my absolute favorite.

And here is a closeup of the stamp and all the pretty layers i did with the foam squares.  

There are lots of prizes too so be sure and hop on over to the Quietfire Blog and the Scrapbook Adhesives by3L blog today to see more ideas with all the new collections  and get in for a chance to win.....

2017 Queen of Hearts blog hop

Welcome to the Quietfire Design's 2017 Queen of Hearts Blog Hop.  This week we're celebrating the release of the new dies, stencils and stamps from Quietfire Design by sharing our best projects!!

Today i am sharing a card that i made with the new stamp release called "Always Believe".  I really love the sentiment on this card and it's such a nice one to send to a friend or colleague to give them a little encouragement in a tough time.

For my card i started with a plain white base and then cut a smaller bit of dark blackish grey to go over it.  Then i used a die to cut the pink rose backround paper and attached that with 3D Foam squares to the card base. 

To make the top i cut it with a die and stamped my image in the center with black ink.  Then i embossed it with clear and let it dry for a few minutes.  To bring out the edges I used a sponge applicator and inked around the inside edges of the space with the die over it to slightly darken it.  And to make it pop out even more i die cut a smaller piece of the blackish grey paper and put it under the sentiment. 

And i finished it with a few tiny rhinestones, some pink folliage and a pretty black satin bow trimmed in silver to match the rhinestones.  

To see the entire new release be sure and check out the "what's new" on the website...

For my card and ornament i chose the new set of stamps called "Flourished Ornaments".  This is such a beautiful set and there is so much that you can do with it i think.  It comes with the calligraphy ornament and 3 different inserts, Peace, Love and Joy.  And each is a beautiful masterpiece done by Suzanne Cannon's own hand.  I love that she can create such amazing designs and there are lots more that we are going to share with you this week so don't forget to check back tomorrow. My papers for this card are from Basic Grey... I really love the colors for it.

I also made a quick ornament that you can do with your kids as a family holiday time project.  I just stamped the image and then added glitter to fill in the ribbon space at the top and cut it out.  Then i cut 2 of the ovals and added a small dot of glitter and then glued in the ornament.  And then just tie

a gold ribbon on the top and you are done.  You could even fill in the ball with a color if you like.

Thanks so much for joining us and hopping along today :)

Die-ing for Spring Blog hop for Quietfire Design

Hi everyone it's April Fools day today and it's our 3rd day on our fun hop to share 

with you lots of new stamps and our brand new dies from Quietfire Design.

Today you will also be visiting Diana's blog so don't forget to hop over

and see what she has and if you just started today check out the list at the bottom

of my post to see where you should go for more amazing inspiration...

So today i have 2 cards for you to see.  One is my favorite by far of all the cards

i have done.  I adore G45 papers and i ordered this paper especially for this so

i was very pleased with how it came out with the aqua colors and the fairy :)

Quietfire has a brand new stamp called "Raindrops are like Fairy Whispers"

and it went perfect under my fairy that i found on the papers.  I created a 

window type covering from one of the new Becca Feeken Spellbinders

dies that just came out called Swirl Bliss Pocket.  I cut it out of light ivory

paper and then tucked it carefully over the card part that i popped up with

foam dots.  It really makes the design pop like this, I love it!

And of course i had to add some raindrops and fairy dust to it
to make it all shiny and fairy garden like....... I stamped the sentiment
in black and embossed with clear and to make it match with the card more
i used just a touch of ink around the inside with a foam dauber.

And as promised-- here is my card using one of the brand new dies
that were just released.  They work amazing and i created this one so
that it has a pretty shadow behind it and then popped it up with 3D
foam dots.  The papers are from Basic Grey and so is the sticker.

Here is a closeup so that you can see how pretty the calligraphy looks.

Well that is all for me today but be sure and check back tomorrow for another

amazing sneak peak from Sherry and Suzanne!!
