There are no prizes with this hop but there is a TON of inspiration.

Now.....on to the fun!!  I hope you enjoyed Judy's projects at the beginning of the hop.  She always has the best ideas.

I have two projects for you today....one from each CD......  

My first project is from the Move It CD and it is called the Z Fold Over Card.  I made it as an Easter card for my in-laws.  It uses peel off stickers from Elizabeth Craft along with her Cool Highlight Microfine glitter.  It was colored with copics.  I also used Elizabeth Craft stickers for the corners and borders.  I am truly in love with her products! 

The first picture is the card closed.  To open it you untie the ribbon.

This is how the card looks when it is opened.

Here is a close up of the glitter/colored sticker on the front.  It has some 3-D going on!

The second project is from the Shape It CD.  It called a flower pot card.  It was a blast to make.  I used a number of Spellbinders dies and some Punch Bunch punches for the flowers.  Spellbinders die for the foliage and a little bit of glitter to glitz it up!  You could use stamped flowers instead if you wanted.

Okay......I have a disclaimer for this picture.  I tried at least a dozen times in many different ways to get this picture to be rotated 90 degrees to the right but blogspot just would NOT put it in the right way......so, please tilt your head to the left to see it the right way!  Hahahahaahahaha.



I hope that you enjoyed my two projects!  Leave me a little bit of love in the comment area!

Now you can be off to the next blog on the hop!

My Sneak Peek contribution to Thursday's blog hop!

Reminder:  If you plan on getting the 3D CD, it is easy as pie....

just click on the link on my sidebar!

Today is the fourth day of the Technique Junkie blog hop to showcase the new 3D and Fun Folds CD.  Design team members from both Mark's Finest Papers (a Heinrich Company) and the Technique Junkie Newsletter helped put together a fabulous blog hop for us today. 

If you have been following along already you should have come from Geri Utterback's blog.

If you are only starting here, please head back to the Technique Junkie Blog and go from there. You won't want to miss any stops along the way – in order to win you will need to comment on everyone’s blog AND Pat Huntoon’s Blog. There will be an additional chance to win by playing along in her Blog Hop!  See Tuesday's post for the Double Easel card tutorial so you can play along!

I used the Top Note Die project from the 3D and Fun Folds CD. All the images are from Mark's Finest Papers (a Heinrich company).  AND they are a Sneak Peek from a new set they have being released on Dec 13th called Snow and Ice. 

Here is the top/side view of this fun project.   The words, deer and snowflakes were stamped.  Then I embossed the trees with a sparkley embossing powder.  The whole top was sponged.  The snowflake cut out is their stamp in this set as well.  After I cut it out, it was embossed several times with clear to give it some weight, then decorated with the rhinestones and silver cording.  The icicles on the sides of the box are also part of this cute set. 

Here you can see the glittery appearance a little better.  Isn't that a lovely saying!  You are going to LOVE this new set.

 The inside of the box has a divider that was decorated with the snowflake stamp (stamped and embossed, then sponged).  You can put anything inside that you want.  Some put in candy! 

The bottom of the box has the same paper treatment as the box insert.

 

Your next stop on the hop is Lois Bak, but just in case there are any hiccups,  see the whole list of celebrants on this Blog Hop below!
