I have two cards to share today using stamps from The Craft's Meow and my set of Perfect Layers rulers.

This is the first card featuring Fall Fibi & Lilly.  I thought this was such a sweet image from the set and so perfect for Thanksgiving that is just around the corner.  I know I am getting all ready for Thanksgiving and prepping to cook lots of food.  I used the 1/16th inch ruler for these layers.  I know I seem to favor that thin layer a lot.  The sentiment is included in the set.  The paper and pearls are from Doodlebug, the swirls from MFT and the corners from La-La Land Crafts.

Here is a close up of Fibi & Lilly.  They are colored with Copics.

My second card features this cute little turtle from Turtle Love.  She is such a sweet looking turtle!  I used my 1/16th inch ruler again for the layer here.  I turned this into an interactive card.  It's not a spinner card because I didn't use a heavy penny for it to spin on its own.  I used some button dies and a little bit of twine and you can move the heart around the turtle.

Here's another photo with the heart in a different position.

A close up photo of the turtle.  Her pink hearts have some glossy accents on them.

This is the inside of the card and the sentiment is what inspired me to turn this into an interactive card and have the heart move around the turtle.  The thin border is 1/16th inch and the sentiment is matted with the 1/8th inch ruler.

A Perfectly Odd Blog Hop!!

Hello!  WELCOME to a Perfectly Odd Hop!  We have partnered up with the ladies from Some Odd Girl to bring you something fun and different!

We had the pleasure of meeting some of the Odd Girls at CHA in Vegas, and a collaborative event was an absolute NO-BRAINER!  Would the Odd Girls like to try out some fun tools?  Heck yes!  Does the Perfect Paper Crafting team want to play with some cute stamps?  Sure thing!  And it's a match made in heaven...

Today, both teams come together to bring you a fabulously inspiring BLOG HOP that will run through Sunday, November 17th.  There are 15 stops along the way including the main blogs, and PLENTY of inspiration for you to enjoy, so we hope you have as much fun as we've all had in this little partnership!

If you're not already familiar with Some Odd Girl, you are in for a TREAT!  They offer clear and digital stamps, cut files and new accessories, and they are cute and quirky to boot!  Once you see their unique style, you’ll always be able to spot them!

Be sure to comment at EVERY stop and you'll be eligible to win one of TWO prize packs that include one Perfect Paper Crafting tool and one Some Odd Girl stamp set of your choice!

I made a couple of cards using Some Odd Girl's Under the Sea Mae and my Perfect Layers rulers.  I love this stamp set!  Not only are the girls gorgeous but that narwhal and sea horse are adorable.

This is my first card.  I paired a mermaid and a sea animal friend for each card.  I decided to use just a simple mat with my 3/16th width ruler.  I used some gelatos for the background after I embossed it with some swirls on watercolor paper.  Also added some gesso and stamped the shell on there as well but might be hard to see in this photo.  I added lots of sparkle and some rhinestones too.

Here is a close up photo.

This is my second card and I went with a similar design just different colors.  I love how this one turned out too.  I had a lot of fun coloring up these images and just experimenting with the backgrounds.

Recently, I saw these layering tags dies and thought I really wanted those.  I love the look of layered tags so I used my Perfect Layers rulers to make some with My Mind's Eye Happy Haunting papers.

I have a tag die from Papertrey Ink so I used that as my smaller tag.  I glued that tag onto kraft cardstock and used my ruler to cut a 1/8th inch border around the whole tag.  I made 11 tags and put them together to create this mini Halloween tag album.  Hopefully, I will fill it with photos from this Halloween.

Here are some of the tags.  Lots of glittered paper in this Halloween set.

I love this tag because of the fun saying.  This was actually a sticker that was just a bit shorter than the PTI tag die so I placed the sticker onto cardstock first and cut it out with the die.

Another view.  Did I mention there is a lot of orange glitter on these papers?  A LOT.

Next on the hop is Roxie!

I'm in a Christmas mood already so I made a Christmas card.  It would be okay with me if we skipped Halloween and just went ahead to Thanksgiving and Christmas.

My card features the lovely Yeti Yumi.  I love her fluffy jacket!  I should also mention that I followed the Deconstructed Sketch #122.  The snowflake was created with MFT's snowflake die and cut out in felt.  The papers are from Doodlebug probably couple years back and the layers were all made with the Perfect Layers rulers.  Mostly I like to create thin layers and these rulers make that simple.

A little close up of Yumi and her fluffy jacket.  Edit:  just had to say that the mats are actually a dark green (PTI's pinefeather cardstock) and not black though they might look black.

Next on the hop is Rosemary!!

I am in a Christmas-y mood already so here is my card featuring Believe in the Magic.  I stamped the cute reindeer 3 times and made the one in the middle like Rudolph.  His nose is heat embossed in a glittery red.  I used my Perfect Ruler to cut around the image and then my Perfect Layers rulers to make the thin red mats and then the thicker kraft mat.  The sentiment is also heat embossed in that same glitter red.

Here is a close up of these 3 reindeer.  I also added some Polar White Flower Soft for snow at their feet and glossy accents to their bells.  I may add a gift card holder on the inside once I determine who to give this card to.  Maybe one of my kids' teachers. 

Next on the hop is Jen R.!

Here is the card I created using one of the many sketches you can find on the OWH blog.  There are so many, I had a hard time deciding!

I used this cute stamp from Wild Rose Studio called Bella with Daisy.  The sentiment is also from Wild Rose Studio and is a simple Thinking of You sentiment.  I used my Perfect Layers rulers to create the thin yellow mats and make a cheery card.  Even with these mats and layers, this card is a standard A2 card and not too thick to send through the mail with regular postage.

Here is a close up of Bella.  I actually had this image stamped and colored for a while and didn't know what kind of card I wanted to make.  I think she is perfect for this hop!

Perfect Paper Crafting and Tiddly Inks Blog Hop!!

Hello!  I'm so excited for today's blog hop with Perfect Paper Crafting and Tiddly Inks!  I love Tiddly Ink's images and anything Wryn is my favorite.  I had a lot of fun creating cards for today's hop.  Because I don't often have time to play around with Tiddly Ink images I couldn't just stop at one card.  I made 4 cards and had to force myself to move on to my other commitments!

Here are some important details about this hop.  Perfect Paper Crafting will be giving away a $50 gift certificate to their online store, and Tiddly Inks is also offering up some prizes.  Be sure to head to the Tiddly Inks blog for all the prize info.  Visit each blog and leave comments to be eligible for these awesome prizes.  Deadline to comment is Friday, June 28th at 12 AM PST.

Onto my cards.

My first card features the Summer Sweet Wryn digi.  She really is perfect for summer.  All the mats on this card and that follow were made using the Perfect Layers rulers.  I added some Stickles on the lollipops and when it dried, I added Glossy Accents over them for more shine.

My second card features this cute doggie from the Flying High Clear Stamp Set.  There are a lot of cute images in this set and I really wanted to use them all.  But since this card will be going to a birthday boy I thought I'd stick with the doggie.  The clouds are felt and die cut using Papertrey Ink's die as well as the number 5.

My third card is a small card and features Celebrate Joyfully Clear Stamp Set.  It's really easy to make cards of all sizes with the Perfect Layers rulers.

My last card features the Loving Pixie digi.  The sentiment comes from the stamp set I used on my 3rd card.  I really love this sweet image.  I just wanted to show how easy it is to make varying width mats too with the Perfect Layers rulers.  I used different rulers to create thinner mats and then thicker ones.  It doesn't always have to be the same and even all around.

Next on the hop is Jeanne!

Enjoy the hop, and thank you for stopping by!

MarkerPOP! + Perfect Paper Crafting Blog Hop!

Hello everyone and welcome to the MarkerPOP! + Perfect Paper Crafting Blog Hop!!!

MarkerPOP! is the home of premium markers plus lots more!
Perfect Paper Crafting provides innovative tools, like the "Perfect Layers (tm)" border making tools/rulers, for all types of paper crafting.

If you are just joining us on the hop, you are going to want to start back at the beginning of the hop list which can be found at the end of this post!

I made a couple of cards for this hop using Toread stamps and Echo Park's Sweet Girl paper pad. 

This is my first card featuring Toread's Buddle.  Isn't she adorable?  She also comes along with 3 sentiments.  I've had my eye on this stamp line.  The images are from a Korean company and they have lots of other products.  I think they are super cute!  All the mats were created using my Perfect Layers rulers. 

A little close up photo.

My second card features Toread's Sky.  And at first I thought he was a girl but then noticed he didn't have eyelashes like Buddle.  So even though the paper pad was kind of girly, I could still make a more boyish card.  Lots of layers on this card, all (except the circles) created with the rulers.

A close up of Sky.

I have a couple of projects to share.

Lately I have grown to like these Uptown Girl stamps.  This one is called Felicity and Blair Living Life.  Something about them reminds me of my younger (and thinner) days!  Haha.  And the phase in my life when my friends and I were into drinking wine.  Hmmm, that was short lived.  But I love the sentiment which I heat embossed onto vellum and might be a tad hard to read.  It says, "friends like you make this world a better place for me."  Maybe it's referring to the alcohol and cupcakes?  Anyway, I used my Perfect Layers rulers for the mats behind the girls.  I used Scrapbook Adhesives tape runner to adhere my papers.  So easy and fast to put things together when using the tape runner.  I also used the 3D foam squares to pop up the girls and the sentiment.  There is a nice thickness to these squares.  I also love their 3D foam hearts.  Both sides of the hearts are sticky so I peeled one side off and dipped it into some glitter to create my glitter hearts on either side of my sentiment.  Plus it was a nice way to hide the 3D squares I used under the sentiment.

A closer look at the matting behind the girls.  You can create thin and thick layers using these rulers.

My second project is a Flower Pot Pocket Card.  I generally followed the tutorial HERE on Splitcoaststampers.  The only difference is I wanted a taller and a bit wider pot.  The sentiment is from Paper Smooches and I layered the mats using my rulers.  The flowers are from Prima and I used 3L Dodz to adhere them.  I used 3L's Crafty Power Tape to adhere the ribbon.

When you pull out the flowers there is a little place to write a message or maybe even add a gift card.  I left it blank because I haven't decided yet what to do with this card.  The layers were used with my rulers and I thought adding some photo corners from 3L would be a nice touch.  I just peeled back the corners of my white cardstock a bit to slide the photo corners on.

Here's a photo of all the different 3L adhesives/products I used to create my projects.  

That's it for me.  Next up is Roxie!
