PInk & Main and Pear Blossom Press Instagram Hop and Giveaway!

Today I'm participating in a crafty collaboration Instagram hop! Pear Blossom Press and Pink & Main designers are mixing up products from both stores and sharing their creations.

Yes! There are prizes up for grabs so you will want to read to the bottom of this post!

I received a two pack of the Candle Light battery operated mini flashlights from Pear Blossom Press. They're pretty cool because after you press the button and light them up you just blow on them to turn them off.

The trick to working with these lights is to leave a little opening under your light up because the sensor needs to feel that puff of air to shut off. If you look close in the above photo you'll see the space I left between the little candles and the candle flames. I used a hole punch and then cut a pointy shape to create a teardrop opening for the little flames.

The house is from Pink & Main. It's called Home Sweet Home! The winter accessories are from the Winter Home die set. This set includes the snowy bits, wreath, bows, foliate, snowman, deer, sled bushes and more!

To create the snowscape I used Waves and Scallops dies. I alternated direction of the stitches and waves and threw in a little glittery white paper for snow. A double stack of stitched circles adds some sunshine to the design.

And now the part you're waiting for.. the giveaways!

Hop along with us by following the Instagram Hop Lineup below! You’ll see some awesome light-up cards along the way! Plus, each company will be giving away $25 PRIZES!

Book Review

I hope you're having a great day! This time of year when it's cold outside I think about ways to keep busy indoors. When I'm not papercrafting, I'm always happy to settle on a seat by the window and get lost in a great book.

This card starts with patterned paper with rainbows and scallops that remind me of bookshelves. I topped that with a 3x4" Plot Twist journaling card.

I embellished the Book Review card with a great big sentiment and label saying "This Book was..." thinking I'd write "TERRIFIC" in the little label and then gift this card with the book I'm reviewing.

I added a few bright colored sequins to add a little more color to the design, and add a little more color.

I'm always recommending books I love to family and friends. I know this cute little review and the gift of a book will be well received!

I can't believe how fast fall went by! It's cold outside!! I'm still walking the dog every morning but I'm bundled up like the marshmallow man! The decorating is coming along slowly and not one Christmas card has been mailed!

I'm still making it all and today I'm sharing the Pretty Pink Posh Holiday Wreath Die Set because you know it.. Dies are my FAVORITE!!!

This set is really versatile and includes different leaf shapes and sizes that you can use for lots of things. There's also two circle wreath "bases" that you can use as a guide. I used them both on my card.. one is made of scallops and the other is a solid circle frame. I think they'll be handy all year for focal points on projects.

But today the circle is my guide for decorating the wreath. It's a great base that adds color and depth to the wreath. Yes. the big bow is included in the set and the little berries and fronds too.

My finishing touch was some sparkly jewels, because you just have to have them! LOL! Enjoy your day and get something done!

I'm playing at Creative Knockouts where it's Time to be Merry!
