Lindy's Stamp Gang: Lovin' Lindy Hop (Giveaway CLOSED)

Hi Everyone! Welcome to Lindy's Stamp Gang's very first blog hop! Every one of our Designers has created a special project using their top picks of Lindy's Stamp Gang products. Here I have created a set of Valentine's Day cards for you:
The papers I used are from the K&Company - Valentine's Sweetheart Collection. These papers have a very vintage shabby chic feel to them. Soft pastel colors and vintage images completes this collection.

I made a total of 6 Valentine's Day cards using my choice of Lindy's Stamp Gang colors.
I mainly used the Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst Stains & Sprays as a background accent and to add some interest to my embellishments. Here is a list of supplies/products that I used on my cards:

Golden Sleigh Bells Starburst Spray
Desert Moon Cactus Gold Glitz Spritz
Dark Chocolate Truffle Starburst Stain
Gator Gumbo Olive Starburst Spray

ATG Challenge

Arlene (mybutterflykisses12) is hosting an ATG Challenge for a cause contest on YouTube. You can find her video link to the rules here. So the challenge was to alter your ATG (Advanced Tape Glider). I was inspired by the tag that accompanied my Hello Kitty purse.

So here is what I came up with:

I think she is sooo cute. I only decorated the one side of the ATG gun. I didn't want to chance any of the embellishments falling off when I take it in and out of my craft tote. My glue of choice was Glossy Accents from Inkssentials. Head on over to my video here where I explain how I created this. Also there is a little surprise at the end of the video =)

Paper Rosette Embellishment

Here is another handmade embellishment for my mini love page swap. I created this using my paper rosette technique, seen here.


I love how this turned out. For the center I used this bead panel that I purchased from Michael's, from The Bead Gallery. It adds a bit of glam to the rosette. Thanks for passing by and I will have pictures of the actual finished 4x4 mini page, plus 2 tutorials showing how I created the front and back side of the page.

Working Hard

Hey guys. I've been working on assembling my 4x4 mini page. I had joined a Mini Love Page Swap and they are due by the 31st (yikes that's coming up). I was working on the rose embellishments. Ok that's it for now. More to come later and the finished pages, front and back.

Pay It Foward 2011 Project

I completed this project using Tim Holtz's Caged Bird die. I bought this die a couple months ago and I am finally using it =)On Facebook (if you aren't my friend, go and add me - Jo Paperdrama), there is a post going around called "Pay It Forward". It reads: "Pay it Forward in 2011: I promise to send an original creation to the first 5 people who leave a comment here. They must, in turn, post this and send something they make to the first 5 people who comment on their status. The rules are that it must be handmade by you, and it must be sent to your 5 people sometime in 2011." I thought this was really cool and I decided to join in on the fun. Now I have committed myself into making 5 handmade projects for 5 lucky gals. I was brainstorming and this is what I came up with:

The base is a frame that was purchased at Michael's. I then added some burlap, feathers, a skeleton leaf and a handmade flower. The birdcage is adorned with bronze brads. I used Lindy's Stamp Gang's Moon Shadow Mists on the cage and on the flower petals, as well as the bird. Both the bird and the birdcage were cut from chipboard. I adhered some dictionary paper to the bird. Then it was inked with Walnut Stain and Tea Dye distress inks. As a final touch to the bird, I sprayed it with Burnished Bronze Glitz Spritz from Lindy's Stamp Gang.




I truly hope that the girls love what I am making for them. One down, Four more to go. Thanks for stopping by and you can watch my video here.
