FBD APRIL Rubber Stamp Release Blog Hop!

 
 
Welcome to Fresh Brewed Designs April Rubber Stamp Release and Blog Hop!
We are so happy to have you hopping along with us this weekend!
If you are just arriving to the hop, you will want to go back to the start

If you are getting here from Lisa's blog then you are good to go!

This hop is going to be a BLAST!!!
It's Heather's birthday weekend,
so she decided to throw in some EXTRA FUN just for you!
Not only do we have some SUPER CUTE New Rubber Stamps
to release, we also have BLOG CANDY to give away!

I will tell you more about the candy, but first,
let me share the project that I created for you today! 
 
I created the perfect little gift
for that very special coffee loving
man in your life!
 
I used the New Stamp
Latte Love
and the New Sentiment "you make my heart skip a beat"
 
 
to create the front of my
gift card holder/treat box
 
The card that holds the gift card
is attached to the top of
the treat box
 
What a fun way to remind your man
how much you love him!
I tied some blue ribbon around the
box and card to keep the card closed
 

 
 
I filled the treat box with Andes Mints
 

 
 
This is the inside of the card that is attached
to the treat box.
As you can see, I added the coffee gift card inside
along with a place to write your sweet message!

Fussy and Fancy "Use a Faux Technique" Challenge!

Hello and Happy Friday!
I just love Friday's!
Friday's mean that the weekend
is coming up with some free time
to craft and make cards!
Yay me!!!
 
Speaking of making cards

has a super fun challenge for

you
to participate in with us!
 
The challenge this fortnight is
Use a Faux Technique!
 
I googled Faux techniques
and went on the splitcoast stamping
tutorial sight and found lots of
fun possibilites to try!
 
Here is my card
using the faux tile technique
 
 
 
Recipe
colored with copic markers and cut into 9 even squares.
I inked around the edges of each square to add the illusion of depth.
I then coated each individual square with crystal effects to give the
glossy appearance of tile.
I chose this stamped image because I can imagine having 
this tiled image in
both a bathroom or a kitchen!
I love the way this came out and I enjoyed
trying this new technique!
The cardstock is Stampin Up
The designer paper is First Edition Paper  Spring Feast
The butterflies are Bo Bunny
The corner embellishment is Wild Orchid Crafts
and the flowers and laces are from my stash!
 
I would like to enter the following challenges
Clear It Out Challenge   Theme Spring is coming Stash Flowers
City Crafters Challenge  Anything goes  PEARLS
Papertake Weekly Challenge   Anything Goes
The Ribbon Carousel Blog   Showers and Flowers  (Bathroom tile for shower LOL!
Spooled items are crocheted flowers and spooled lace)
 
I truly hope that you can find time to play in
your craft rooms and try a fun new technique to
share with us!  We love to visit your blogs!
 
For more FABULOUS Faux Technique
inspiration hop on over to our
and see what our very talented
DT has to share with all of you!
 
Thank you for visiting!
I hope that you have a wonderful day!
