season's givings blog hop year seven

SeasonsGivingsimage-2

*UPDATED BELOW WITH WINNER*** Happy 2019, crafty friends!  I'm excited to be a part of the Seasons Giving Blog Hop hosted by Latisha Yoast. Thank you so much for your support this year…I truly appreciate it! If you are not already a follower, be sure to sign up for my mailing list or keep up with my daily creations on instagram...

In the spirit of celebration, I thought I'd share two of my favorite celebration cards from this year....First up is this birthday card that was featured over on the Neat and Tangled blog earlier this year. You can check out the post here.  This card was so much fun to make and can be easily created in multiples or in a different color scheme for any occasion. Distress Oxides and Distress Blending Brushes really made this card come together.

Second, one of the last cards I made this year, (but one of the most fun) using the Simon Says Stamp/CZ Design Birthday Palooza stamps and dies, a bit of loose Copic coloring and super cute sprinkles:

Super cute! Love the elf! And the snow globe is awesome!



Hi there crafty friends! I'm back with another installment of Get Cracking on Christmas, where my friend Jenn has challenged us to work on our Christmas cards each month throughout the year to build up our stash BEFORE the holidays. You can read all about how this got started here.

This month is extra special as we have a bunch of awesome card makers joining us for a fun blog hop to get cracking on their Christmas cards too!  Be sure to hop along and look for the giveaways along the hop stops. 

Today, I have used one of my favorite Neat and Tangled sets, Elfs and their Shelves. I think I used the set once when I got it for an annual holiday card event that I teach and never got any more love. I pulled it out today for some quick coloring and a super cute and easy card. If you are hopping along, hop on over to the blog of my sweet friend Libby, she has an awesome card (and an awesome giveaway) for you today)! The full list of stops is below.

I'll pick a winner on Tues, July 24th and post it here. Prize can me mailed to US address only (thanks for understanding) :)

neat and tangled: so lucky

It's release week over at Neat and Tangled and I can't wait to share all the fun with you this week. Today I am featuring a card using the new So Lucky stamp set. I'm not even a little bit Irish, but I always love celebrating St.Patrick's Day. This set has such a wonderful big bold sentiment, and the cutest little shamrocks too! 

So lucky

I used all of the little shamrocks in the set (then splattered them with a bit of gold) to create a patterned background panel and then stamped the beautiful bold sentiment on the Classic Tag 1 die. I think this will make the perfect St.Patty's card for my husband :)

Don't forget - there is a giveaway every day this week of the set(s) being featured that day, and a $25 gift certificate up for grabs at the end of the week. Comment on all of the design team blogs all week for a chance to win.  Winners will be announced on Friday at 7:30am EST!

hero arts: winter catalog blog hop

Winter_bloghop_600

Hi there and welcome to my stop on the Hero Arts Winter Catalog Blog Hop! I am so excited to be hopping along with this group of fabulous ladies and all of you today, so thanks for stopping by. You should have arrived here from the blog of the amazing Amy Tan. 

Hero Arts is giving away three $25 shopping sprees, drawn from comments left across all blogs in the hop. Please comment by Sunday, August 28 at 11:59pm PT and the winner will be  announced the following week.

For this hop I created these fun and simple cards for you using the Origami Holiday Stamp and Die Combo :

Here is a closer peek at each. For the Santa Card, I paper pieced the origami santa and added him to a window card filled with holiday sequins: 

Cheiron- hero arts holiday hop santa

The second card that I created using the deer stamp was embossed in gold, and I colored in each of the folds with a different color to create a fun and modern holiday card:

Cheiron- hero arts holiday hop deer


My favorite of the 3 may be this sweet little penguin that has been watercolored and placed on a snowbank created by swiping gesso over blue paint that was painted onto the card base. I finished off the card with a sprinkle of golden "snow":

And one more just for fun, I stamped a whole bunch of the Santas to create a background paper for my card, and colored them in loosely with watercolor and a spattering of black paint for some interest. I finished off the card with some red and white twine, and the tiniest little jingle bell. Isn't it fun?

hero arts: collage style valentines & a giveaway!

Just sharing some fun collage style cards today that I made with and older (but still fabulous) Hero Arts set. I love any type of heart stamps and the ones in this Untitled Heart set are no exception. Would you like one for yourself? Just leave me a comment below and I will pick a winner next week!  

AC002

These stamps are perfect for cards and art journaling pages too. All of the background papers were made using stamps and stencils. This is a great way to use the background stamps you have if you don't have a lot of patterned papers. Here are a a few of the Valentine's that I have made for the more artsy friends on my list:

Hero Arts Collage Card 1 by Cheiron Brandon_

This one features the Music Background stamped on torn paper in gold with a little inking on the edges. The seal from the Untitled Heart set was stamped on ripped canvas paper to provide an additional layer.


 Hero Arts Collage Card 2 by Cheiron Brandon_

This one is super easy to make. A white wash of paint on a kraft note, a spritz of Cup O'Joe spray through a stencil, some purple ink through another stencil using a foam dauber and a few stamps topped off with a cut out heart and some gems. 

Hero Arts Collage Card 3 by Cheiron Brandon_
Another easy card, some texture paste through the stencil and a light spray of Cup O'Joe to make the background layered with stamped and stenciled papers and topped with a gold embossed heart. I used about half a package of Metallic Decor on this one, so you know it will go to someone special :)
