Hoppy Birthday

I'm here on this fabulous Wednesday to share with you one of Joy Clair's Stamp Sets.  The stamp set I'm showing today is called "Hoppy Birthday".  

 I stamped my image and sentiment using two of the stamps from the set.  I stamped my image onto cryogen CS and colored it in using Copics.  Copics used YG09, YG07, YG06, R22, YG21, YR09, YR07, YR04.   I then used a die to cut out my colored image and the sentiment. I used another die for the mats behind the image and sentiment.   I layered some green and orange CS onto my main card base and then layered a border strip with green, orange on my card front. I created a double bow using a die set and attached it to the right side on my strip. I attached the layered image and the sentiment to the card front as shown. I added some pearl swirl to finish off my card. 

Here's a closer peek at my colored image:

I stamped my sentiment onto the white layer on the right side. I added a flower and some pearls to finish off my card.

We want to showcase how well our three companies products work together.

Welcome to Day 3 of the Celebration Blog Hop. Design Team Members will be sharing with you projects they have made for all the many upcoming Celebrations that come around this time of year, ie... Weddings, Baby Showers, Baby Births, Grasuations, Father's Day and of course Birthdays!. All Design Team members will be using supplies from all three companies to make their projects so you can see for yourself how lovely these products work together and how dies, stamps and ribbons are the perfect combination.

There will be prizes for those who comment on all the blogs over the three days and who become followers of all the blogs. The prizes will be announced on all three of the companies blogs: Joy Clair, DieVersions and DL Art blogs on Sunday, May 22nd.

You should have came here from the wonderful Lori Kobular's blog. IF NOT, THEN PLEASE START AT THE BEGINNING OF THE AT DIE-VERSIONS BLOG.   THE ENTIRE LIST OF DESIGNERS FOR THE ENTIRE CELEBRATION BLOG HOP IS LISTED ON THE DIE-VERSIONS BLOG.

Now is time to share my project......

Today I used the "Oh Baby"  stamp set from Joy Clair, The "Baby Border" die from DieVersions and

the Baby Bundle ribbon from DL Art. I started out by stamping my image and sentiment. I colored my image using Copics. I used the "Stitched Nesting Squares" dies from DieVersions to cut them out and for the mats behind them.  I cut out 3 of the "Baby Border" die. I used a card base of 6x6 and I attached the Baby Border to the top and sides of the card front edge. I then layered some pink CS and some pink striped CS on top of the card base.  I added a stripe of white ribbon from DL Art down the right hand side of the card front.  I attached my layered image to the slight middle of my card front and the layered sentiment to the upper right side of my card front.  I added a bow made from the pink ribbon from DL Art.  I then added a few pearls in the upper left side.

Here's a closer look at my colored image and sentiment:

Project number 2:

I stamped my sentiment from "Oh Baby" from Joy Clair onto some white CS and used a die to cut it out and for the mat behind it.  I cut out the "Bassinet" die from DieVersions from blue CS.  I used a SVG file and my Cricut to create the card base. I added a stripe of blue ribbon from DL Art down the left hand side of my card front. I attached the Bassinet cut out to the front of the card as well as my layered sentiment.  I added a bow made from the ribbon from DL Art.
