FTHS May Blog Hop

Good morning! It's time for the May From the Heart Stamps Blog Hop...our theme this month is "CASE It". Each team member will be showcasing a card CASE-d (copy and share everything) from another teammate.

As you hop along, please leave a comment on each entry. One random commenter will be selected on each blog to win the image of their choice from the FTHS Store. We are also having a link-up contest with this hop. We invite you to pick one of the FTHS DT members and "CASE" one of their cards and add it to the linky collection by Sunday, May 7th. Everyone who enters will be entered into a random drawing; one lucky winner will receive 3 images of choice from the store!

If you have arrived from From the Heart Stamps, you are in the right place; if not, why don't you start there so you don't miss anything?

Today I am CASE-ING my teamie Brenda. Let me tell you, I really had fun going through her blog roll to find a card! I found out that Brenda crafts a lot of cards (I have no idea how she is so productive!) and I had a hard time choosing! I went way back to October 21, 2015...check out her post here.

I went with the same image, "Hamlet PigWit Pig Out", pastel colors, and layout. I've colored Hamlet with pencils and dotted his eyes with a black gel pen. Patterned papers are from Echo Park.

Let it snow!

Good morning!  We have a new challenge for you from the ladies at Ruby's Rainbow; for this fortnight Silvi has chosen a Color Combo!  She would like to see Red, Green, and White/Cream...sounds fun!

I immediately thought of Christmas and used one of Faith's Birdbrains that I already had printed.  The image is colored with pencils and I've added some glittery "eye shadow".  The sketch is from Mojo Monday; I've done some simple layering and embellished with a glittery snowflake and sentiment.  I think the Birdbrain looks a bit disgruntled at the prospect of snow...the same way I feel!  Here's a close-up:

Inner Tube Birdbrain

Good morning!  It's time for a new challenge from the ladies at Ruby's Rainbow; for this fortnight, Neva is challenging us to "Use a Transparent Element".  Fun!

I used a Birdbrain and this week's From the Heart Stamps sketch for my card.  My transparent element is clouds, die cut from recycled packaging.  I've colored the image with pencils and added some glitter to the inner tube and her eyelids.  The sun is die cut from sparkly CS, and the clouds are die cut from felt and acetate packaging.  I've added some ribbon and a few buttons for embellishing.  Here's a close-up of the embellishing:

Birdbrain Graduate

Good morning!  We have a new sketch to share with you at From the Heart Stamps and it's a great one! Along with the new sketch is the optional twist which is to "Use a Die Cut"; here it is:

Graduation is just a month away, so I thought I should be busy since I have a daughter graduating!  I pulled out some fun school themed papers from my stash and colored the Birdbrain to coordinate.  I've embellished with plenty of die cut stars and some Swarovski flatback crystals.  I also cut out some of the books from the patterned paper...my paper is a holey mess now since the books were scattered all over the 12 x 12 sheet.  My daughter's plan is to major in Microbiology and minor in Spanish, then go to med school with the ultimate goal of practicing Psychiatry, so I picked books that are relevant to her studies.  After I finished I realized the card wasn't too "girly", but the Birdbrain does have glittery "eye shadow" so that does have to count for something!  Haha!  Here's a close-up:

Birdbrain Hula Chick

Good morning!  I have a fun card to share using one of Faith's adorable Birdbrains...this gal has me wishing for a tropical vacation!  I found a fun sketch through Paper Playful that was just perfect for the image...I love it when that happens!

She's colored with pencils and accented with glitter; subtle glitter for the flower centers and some sparkly stuff for her "eye shadow"!  I pulled out some really old papers from my stash; they came from a 12x12 pack that is packed away with the other 12x12s...I rarely buy them anymore because the scale is usually too large for cards, but I thought the designs were perfect.  I've done some layering and embellished with a die cut hibiscus and ribbon.  I'm loving how this one turned out...lots of texture!  Here's a close-up:

Bugaboo BINGO

Good morning!  We have a fun BINGO challenge for you at Catch the Bug today; here's the BINGO card:

I went with the first vertical row...Yellow, Flower, Bugaboo Image.  The adorable Edward image is colored with pencils to coordinate with this super Spring-y Doodlebug patterned paper.  I've added some gems and a felt flower for embellishing.  (I know that the sketch has 3 gems in the corner, but I only had 2 small ones and felt they were perfect, so 2 it is!)  I love the subtle houndstooth print in the yellow; here's a detail close-up:

Hey Chickie

Good morning!  We have a new sketch for you at Catch the Bug...check it out:

Fun sketch, right?!  I have to admit the hexagons threw me off a bit, but that's why they call it a challenge!  The chicken is colored with pencils and of course I had to add some "glittery eye shadow"...I really couldn't resist.  I was able to work 4 patterned papers into the card...I love it when I can make that work!  I've embellished simply with some Swarovski flatback crystals.  I have a friend in mind for this one...she has chickens at her acreage and is kind enough to give us fresh eggs!

hats off, GRADUATE!

Good morning!  We have a new sketch for you at From the Heart Stamps...and I really love it!  Check it out:

I decided to get started on graduation cards and this adorable Birdbrain was perfect!  I turned the rectangle into a square because I really hate to cover up cute paper!  Are any of you like that?  The Birdbrain is colored with pencils and I refrained from adding glittery "eye shadow"...this one looks like a boy bird for sure!  I've done some simple layering and embellished simply with die cut stars.

Ruby's Rainbow ABC

Good morning!  It's time for a new challenge from the ladies at Ruby's Rainbow; for this fortnight, Valou has chosen our challenge and she would like to see "Anything But a Card".  Sounds like a good challenge!

I made a box to present a custom Baptism card that I made for a friend.  The box is very simple to make with the help of the Scor-Pal; the bottom is lined with white felt and the top is decorated with an embossed panel and a felt rose to coordinate with the card.  For the card, I've used white/cream...embossed CS, textured vellum, die cut onesie with glitter trim, ribbon, a felt flower, pearls and stickpins.  (The recipient loved it!)  Here's a close-up of the card:

Sentiment: Computer Generated (printed in gray)
Paper: PTI Stamper's Select and Vellum
Embellies: Spare Parts Pearls, Maya Road Stickpins, Grosgrain Ribbon (my stash), Flower (MFT Royal Rose Die-namics Die/PTI Felt), Martha Stewart Crystal Fine Glitter
Extras: Scor-Pal, Cuttlebug Embossing Folder, White Felt (to line bottom of box), Foam Tape 

Please check out the rest of the DT's creations here, along with the challenge details.  We hope you will play along...I'd love to see your ABC project!
