Imagine Crafts & Authentique/May Arts Blog Hop

Welcome to a crafting extravaganza all week featuring myself and other Artists In Residence from IMAGINE Crafts, along with the Design Team Members of Authentique Paper and May Arts Ribbon.  

hehehe...we were asked to use an Authentique Art Print in a picture. Being a little self-conscious about my really short hair after chemo for breast cancer, I went with a disguise. :)

 Let's make something pretty:

Starting with your base card of 5.5 x 4.25, spritz the long folded edge with Lilac Posies Fireworks. Also spritz a scrap of white card stock, trim end into fishtail, set aside.

Cut white card stock just a bit smaller than the base. Lightly mark where you want your banner openings with pencil. Die cut four banner openings.  Cover back of this panel with foam adhesive, then adhere strips of four different Authentique Radiant papers.

Wrap the card front with May Arts checkered ribbon. Adhere to base card. Attach spritzed banner that has been wrapped with fuzzy twine, Add "Hello" sticker and fuzzy twine bow. Add faux colored pearls and dimension dots made with Lilac Posies irRESISTibles Pico.

And because I am completely in love with this Authentique Radiant 6 x 6 pad, 

I just had to make another:

All supplies are the same as the card above, with exception of:

Fireworks Bahama Blue & irRESISTible Tangelo used for "dots" embellishments.

Prizes galore for participating in the Blog Hop this week!

All three participating companies in this week's Blog Hop will all be giving away 3 prize packages for leaving comments on the featured blog posts.  Each day will we feature projects created by the artists from IMAGINE Crafts, Authentique Paper and May Arts. Simply visit their blogs and leave a comment on each post by midnight PST September 27th.  We ‘ll randomly select three different blogs from the seven days, then randomly draw one commenter from each blog as the winner.  

Blog Hop Hint – if you click on a link that takes you to a page saying something like, “Sorry this page cannot be found,” just click on the header at the top of the blog (usually a picture, or the blog’s name), and it will take you to that blog’s most recent post. That post *should* be our hop. If not, you can probably scroll down a short way to find the hop post.
