February 2021 Release Day

She Blooms + Effortless Beauties + Feathered Friends 8

Framed in Florals + Cover Plate: Vines + Feathered Friends Mini 8

May 2011 Blog Hop

May 25, 2011      Nichole Heady      26 Comments

Welcome everyone to the May Papertrey Blog Hop!  We are so thrilled to see you here!  First, the challenge…

The-Challenge

May is the month when many flowers finally go into full bloom after a long winter's sleep.  For the blog hop this month we want to see your favorite take on flowers.  You can stamp backgrounds, create custom floral embellishments, showcase unique flower center additions (buttons, rhinestones, beads, etc…), flowers die-cut from different materials (like fabric, felt, vellum, etc…) or anything else you can dream up!  We are looking forward to seeing all of your amazing creations!I have included an inlinkz list below for you to add your link to your blog hop project.  This new type of link list will allow you to select a thumbnail to go along with your link, making it easy to go back and find a project later that might have perked your interest.  

Here's a little something I whipped up for the challenge.

So Kind Card

I thought I would pull out my Bloom Builders #1 dies and create a beautiful dimensional flower with one of my favorite patterned paper collections, Pretty Pastels.

Sentiment
I stamped the frame from Label Basics onto my Kraft card base with Fresh Snow ink.  I then added a second layer of Kraft which I stamped with Year of Flowers Collection (the violets image specifically).  The sentiment is from Everyday Button Bits and it was stamped in True Black.

Flower closeup
The flowers were created with the pink paper from the Pretty Pastels and some vintage book print from an old book.  I love the detail and dimension the Bloom Builders dies can add to a project.  I also think these little Beautiful Blooms #3 shapes complement the Bloom Builders #1 quite well.

Down
We've had lots of questions over the last few months about seeing the Bloom Builders dies in action, so I've thrown together a short video for you showcasing this truly incredible product that was an amazing conception by Betsy Veldman.  Enjoy the show!

Now it's your turn to share your floral wonders with us!

I have included an inlinkz list below for you to add your link to your blog hop project.  This new type of link list will allow you to select a thumbnail to go along with your link, making it easy to go back and find a project later that might have perked your interest.  

You have until 11:00pm EST tonight (May 25th) to add your link to this list.  THREE random participants will be selected to win a FREE Papertrey Ink stamp set of their choice.  They will be announced and highlighted here, on my blog, tomorrow morning.  We look forward to seeing all of your creations!

EDITED TO ADD RANDOMLY SELECTED WINNERS:

Susan-W
Susan W used Friendship Jar and Friendship Jar Spring Fillers on this elegant project.  I loved to see the addition of the real ribbon and tulle to her bouquet!  A perfect card to celebrate a wedding or shower!

Jamie

Jamie Greene created a beautifully layered felt flower that complements her tag perfectly.  Her color scheme is bright and cheerful and the simplicity of the tag is wonderfully executed!

Andrea
Andrea used nearly every flower in the new Year of Flowers Collection on this beautiful project.  The colors are just delightful and the layout is so pleasing to the eye.  Just a wonderful, wonderful project!

Congratulations to all the winners!  Be sure to email Customer Service with your selected free stamp set and your shipping information so we can get your prize packages out to you!  Thank you to everyone who contributed to this amazingly successful Blog Hop.  You have all inspired me and I hope yo have been inspired as well!

    I’ve loved these flowers since you first released them…
    but have been hesitant because of all the questions re: using them…
    I’m not very coordinated…
    or intelligent enough to figure them out on my own…
    so thank you for this wonderful and very helpful video!
    Love how you used the book print on this…
    your card is gorgeous!

    Beautiful card Nichole! Thank you for the video tutorial on how to use the Bloom Builders die, I was wondering how difficult it was to use and after watching the video I see that it’s not at all.

    Very pretty!
    I have a question…I asked in the forum but I haven’t gotten an answer and being new to the hop I wanted to check with you.
    Are you allowed to post only one project or more than one?
