A2Z Blog Hop!!

Hi, all!

I'm so excited to be here today with some crafty friends, because it's time to BEAT THE WINTER BLUES with a blog hop (or escape the summer heat if you're in Australia!), celebrating a huge sale at one of our favorite online crafty retailers
on etsy,  a2z Scrapbooking .



Their Sale section is jam-packed full of Hero Arts items that are 50% off!! (And you know how I love Hero Arts!)

As if that's not enough, we have an extra discount code for an extra 20% off your entire purchase!!!
So hop along with us today (February 21st (or Feb 22nd Aussie time)), to see some fantastic, inspirational projects made using products you'll find in the a2z Sale Section!


If you're hopping, you should have arrived from Stacia's blog.  


Here are my cards, using the Hero Arts "Cupcakes" clear set.  (This set is a favourite of mine when I'm making cards for kids).
After stamping the cupcake and the sentiment (don't you just LOVE that sentiment!?!), I went to my scrap paper box and picked out some patterned papers, and paper pieced the cupcake and the cherry on top.  I then added some white gel pen to the cherry, and then some glossy accents for some shine.

For this card, I stamped and masked the candle first, then added the cupcake and sentiment below.  I coloured the candle and the cupcake patty pan with Copics to match the strip of stripey paper (from Elle's Studio).  When I'd finished colouring, I added some Wink of Stella to the plate (to make it look silver), some stardust Stickles to the cupcake icing, and diamond Stickles to the flame (because diamond Stickles has an orangy/red sheen to it).

  4. Hi Michelle,
    I was so happy and excited to see you were part of the this fun BLog HOP! A2Z is one of my favorite stores and although I am not part of the HOP, I was happy to blog about the sale this morning!! I also hit the store bright and early to enjoy the sale.

    This could be my SECOND comment, as I thought for sure I had already done one? But with my Fibro Fog and all, you just never know.

    Hugs,
    Lisa

  5. Hi Michelle,

    Thank you so much for joining the blog hop. Your cards are "yummy" and fun, fun, fun as my youngest would say. I really love the red polka dot, for some reason I seem to gravitate towards anything that has red polka dot, lol.
