Card Creations Blog Hop

We all love a good card. Or eleven. 11 is 11 times better than just one, right? Well friends, it's your lucky day. Times 11.

It's our last day of celebrating Card Creations 8, so we're bringing you one card each from 11 of the designers featured in this lovely little issue. {1 card each x 11 designers = 11 cards} See? And the best part? Each card is made with one of the trendiest collections to be had out there today. {That would make 11 trendy cards.} Nifty. My collection? Queen Bee from Pink Paislee. Featuring yellow and gray. {Bestill my heart.} I so {heart} this collection! Love, love the updated, sophisticated take on yellow and gray.

Look! Cork (trendy!). Mixed with yellow and gray... so unique.

I used their fun label stamp (labels... trendy!) to make a background pattern.

(And, just for kicks I used the current Go-To Sketches Challenge #3. That challenge is open until May 31... hint, hint!)

And... my favorite item of all...

Bella brads. If I could have a giant bucket full of these little beauties, I would be oh so happy. The yellow ones, especially. So, so pretty. {Sigh.} I could go on and on... but on to the other trendy collections. Being brought to you by... Teri Anderson Maile Belles Kim Hughes Latisha Yoast Julie Cameron Maren Benedict Kim Kesti Debbie Olson Rae Barthel Betsy Veldman I know you're gonna love all the trendy trendiness of the other 9 collections.

It's very fresh and on trend... I know you guys are going to love it! Before I go, just a heads up that I'll be taking a little bloggy vacation next week.

Latisha said...

Yum is what I think when I look at this card. Too much fabulousness going on :) You inspire me as a cardmaker, and as a mother/wife/daughter, you really are such a wonderful example. I hope your trip to Africa is amazing, I am sure God is going to use you in such a special way. I can't wait to hear about it!
hugs

rush8888 said...

if someone told me that yellow and gray would be combined, i would run screaming the other way...not really, but the combination would not appeal to me. then...to see the real thing...COOL! besides wanting more space, making little flowers is up front. i won't pay the prices at the stores.

betty lou said...

You had me at "Featuring yellow and gray"!!! Love it!! My fave product right now is my butterfly Sizzix die from Stampin' Up...love making felt butterfly pins with a little bling!

joann said...

Sophistication is a VERY accurate word for this Queen Bee collection. The yellow and gray is so striking, going to need to try that out soon.

Fav product? I'm pretty sure it would have to be markers, but if you're talking embellies well then I'd definitely say ribbon.

~Shari said...

I think my favorite produce are the cute die cut stickers. I am a stamper at heart, but it's so fun to just "slap aka stick" something on a card.
