Pear Blossom Press & Picket Fence Studios Collab Blog Hop!

March 3, 2024March 3, 2024 amandafitterer12 Comments

Hey guys! Want a chance to win prizes from both Pear Blossom Press and Picket Fence Studios?! In March, we’ll have THREE different Hops for you to enter to win!!

Today we’re kicking off the BLOG HOP!

Come hop along with us and see some awesome light-up cards! Plus, each company will be giving away $25 PRIZES! All you have to do to be entered to win is to leave a comment at each stop along our Hop Lineup before March 29th at 11:59 PM EDT. Winners will be announced on the Pear Blossom Press & Picket Fence Studios Blogs on 3.31.24!

I have created this fun light-up card using products from both companies! Read on to see how I created this card! You’ll be amazed at how EASY it is!!

First, I created my background using the Picket Fence Studios What’s Your Sign Stencil and Pint Sized Paper Pouncers. I blended Catherine Pooler’s All That Jazz and Cummerbund inks.

Next, I stamped my images from the Sugar and Calorie Free Stamp Set. I colored them in with Copic markers. I stamped my sentiment on Perfect Sentiment Cardstock – Black with Embossing ink and then sprinkled white embossing powder on it. I melted the powder with my heat tool and then die cut the sentiment out with the coordinating die. I also used the coordinating dies to cut out my cakes. I used the same dies to cut out 2 plain black pieces of cardstock. I glued the cakes and their black counterparts together on a slight angle, to give the effect of a shadow!

On my card base, I made 3 little pencil dots where I wanted the candles’ flames to be. I also made a little pencil dot where I wanted the ON button to be. For this card, I’m using the Pear Blossom Press EZ-Lights. I used double sided tape to adhere my battery and button where I wanted it. Then I used masking tape to hold my wires and lights in place.

Once I had everything in place, I placed Pear Blossom Press’s World’s Best Foam Tape everywhere except over the lights and battery/button case.

On my card front, I poked 3 holes where my lights are. I placed my Pear Blossom Press Yellow Candle Flame Gems over the lights using liquid glue. Then, I placed my Clay Candles under the flames and adhered them with liquid glue.

I used 3D Foam Squares to prop up my cakes and sentiment. I added a few Catherine Pooler Crater Lake Sequins to finish it off.

That’s how easy it is to create a fun light-up card! I hope you enjoyed my stop on the Blog Hop!

Heffy Doodle and Time for Tea Collaboration Blog Hop

February 26, 2022February 26, 2022 amandafitterer20 Comments

Welcome to the Heffy Doodle and Time for Tea Collaboration Blog Hop!
Design Team members from both companies are sharing inspiration using products from both companies!

I’m so excited to share this card I made with you! I absolutely adore both of these companies’ products! They work SO WELL together! Can you guess which products are from which company? Read on to see!

To create my super vibrant background, I am blending Sixteen Candles, Pixie Dust and Grape Crush through the Time for Tea Tiled Wall Stencil. Once that’s done, I am going to very gently go over the entire background with a blending brush that has leftover Sixteen Candles ink on it.

To create the forefront of my scene, I am using the leaves from the Heffy Doodle Tree-mendous Peekaboo Tree Die and blending Melon Ice and Lime Rickey onto my cutout. For the dirt hill, I am using the Heffy Doodle Slimline Scenery Dies and blending Sand Castle and Over Coffee ink onto it. I am then splattering some white acrylic paint mixed with water using a small paintbrush. I’ve also used the Silver Linings Border Dies to create some clouds for the top portion of my scene and have left them white.

Now I’m ready to stamp my little cuties! I am grabbing the Heffy Doodle Hello Squeakheart Stamp Set and the Time for Tea Cafe Critters Stamp Set. I’m coloring them with my Copic markers using purples, greens, and yellows.

I’ve cut out the word “ENJOY” using the Heffy Doodle Stitched Alphabetters Dies and used Melon Ice and Lime Rickey to color them. Once I’ve cut my stamped images out using the coordinating dies, I’m ready to start assembling my card! I’m using Heffy Doodle’s Deep Foam Tape and Glubert Glue. I’m also creating one last sentiment by stamping the word “SQUEAKHEART” from the Hello Squeakheart stamp set on black cardstock with Versamark watermark ink. Then, I’m applying white embossing powder to it and cutting the sentiment into a ribbon using my scissors.

And, voila! Don’t those little cuties look so cute?! 🙂

That’s it for me on this Hop! I hope you enjoyed my card and all the love I put into it!

GIVEAWAY INFO: To be entered to win the giveaway, all you need to do is comment at each stop along the Blog Hop!
Time for Tea will be giving away £25 and Heffy Doodle will be giving away £25 to their respective stores! Be sure to comment before 11:59 PM EST on Mar 2nd to be entered to win!

Heffy Doodle and Miss Ink Stamps Collaboration Blog Hop

December 15, 2020December 13, 2020 amandafitterer18 Comments

Welcome to the Heffy Doodle and Miss Ink Stamps Collaboration Blog Hop! Design team members from both teams are sharing some crafty inspiration using products from both companies! Plus, both stores will be giving away prizes!

Now, let’s get crafty! I couldn’t handle all the cuteness of all the stamps, so I ended up making 3 cards!

For my first card, I created my card front using Heffy Doodle’s Stitched Rectangle Dies.
I stamped images from the Heffy Doodle Hootiful Stamp Set and the Miss Ink Stamps Say Cheese Stamp Set. I colored them with Copic markers.
For my background, I used the Miss Ink Stamps Scene Builder: Meadow Stamp Set.
I cut everything out and then adhered it to my card base using 3D foam squares!

For my next card, I wanted to create a cute slimline card!

I stamped images from the Heffy Doodle Quill You Be Mine and Gnome Matter What sets and then colored and cut them.
I used the Heffy Doodle Stitched Slimline Trio Dies to create my slimline base and frames.
On my background, I stamped images from the Miss Ink Stamps Scene Builder: Meadow Stamp Set and the Rise and Shine Stamp Set. I used Heffy Doodle Memo Tape to make sure I didn’t stamp outside the frames.
I used the Bold Banner Sentiments from Heffy Doodle and die cut them with the coordinating die to make perfect banners.
I adhered everything to my base using 3D foam squares and strips.

For my final card, I knew I had to use these cute little Punny Farm Pigs from Miss Ink Stamps.

I started with Rise and Shine Stamp Set for my background.
I used the Grassy Lass Border Dies to create some grass for my foreground and colored it with Bundled Sage Distress Ink.
Then, I stamped my Punny Farm Pigs, Quill You Be Mine, and A Little Shellfish stamp sets and colored and cut them.
I colored in my background using Copic markers and used Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide for my sky.
I used the Whatcha Sayin’ and Whatcha Saying Now for my sentiments.
I adhered everything to my card base with 3D foam squares, strips, and liquid glue!

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog post! I hope you enjoyed my cards!

Make sure to comment along the way for your chance to win! Miss Ink Stamps will be giving away $25 and Heffy Doodle will be giving away £25 to their respective stores!

Heffy Doodle New Release Blog Hop

July 18, 2020July 18, 2020 amandafitterer45 Comments

Hi everyone and welcome to the Heffy Doodle Release Blog Hop! The new release is now available for purchase from Heffy Doodle and official retailers, and we are celebrating with lots of inspiration and a giveaway, too!

To make this fun interactive card, I’m going to set up my background. With the Breaking Waves Border Dies and the colored cardstock from Heffy Doodle. I’m using 2 of my wave dies as sand, instead of water. For those 2, I’m going to add a little dimension with my Copic E41 and E42 markers. I’m also going to create my slides for my critters using the coordinating Wavy Water Slides Dies.

I stamped my A Little Shellfish images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and am coloring my images with Copic markers and a white Gelly Roll pen.
Blues: B000, B00, B02
Reds: R30, R32, R35, R27
Greens: G12, G02
Blue-Greens: BG10, BG11, BG13
Earth: E41, E42

After laying everything out, I’ve decided to get rid of the dark blue background and use some Silver Linings Clouds and another light blue background instead.

For my sentiments, I’m using Versamark Watermark ink and white embossing powder on black cardstock. I am using scissors, a paper trimmer, and More Strips of Ease die to cut them down.

Now I’m ready to start putting the card together! I’m cutting my lobster’s claw open so he can hold the pinwheel. I’m using buttons and 3D foam squares to adhere my sliding critters. I’m also doubling and tripling up on 3D foam adhesive so the critters can move smoothly! And voila! All done!

GIVEAWAY INFO:
To celebrate the new release Heffy Doodle will be giving away a £50 voucher to the Heffy Doodle Store!! Make sure to comment on each stop in the hop to be entered for your chance to win. The winner will be selected randomly and announced on the Heffy Doodle blog on July 25th.
