Erin Lee Creative March Release Blog Hop

Hello, friends!  Welcome to the Erin Lee Creative Blog Hop!  Hopefully you've come here from Erin's blog.  I'm excited to share a few of the cards I've made with the new release from Erin Lee Creative.  (Psst...There is a fantastic sale going on, too!  40% off everything but the new release!)

We are giving away $25 gift certificates to three lucky winners chosen from comments left across all of the blogs participating in this hop.  Please leave a comment on any participating blog (scroll down for the whole list) by Friday, March 29, 2019.  The winners will be announced the following week in the Erin Lee Creative Blog.  The more you comment, the more chances to win!

What I love most about this new company is the wide variety of images, fonts and styles available.  There is really something for everyone!  

First up we have Floral Peacock.  I love that it begs the use of bright colors.  I used a combination of coloring with Copic markers and painting with an ink pad (because I did not yet have a peacock blue marker).  I colored over the feathers with a clear glitter brush pen--one of my favorite tools.  The sentiment is heat embossed and is from Hummingbird Love (see below).


Here's a closeup of the glitter:


 

In keeping with the peacock theme, here is a more abstract version.  The Peacock Background stamp is really unique and packs a punch.  The sentiment is from Incredible India (a must have--and it's 40% off right now!).


Again I colored it with Copics (I finally got that peacock blue marker) and then a glitter marker.  The panels are popped up on craft foam to set off the sentiment.



Finally we have Hummingbird Love.  We have a family friend who is an incredible photographer.  He takes the most amazing pictures of birds, and his hummingbirds are absolutely stunning.  I had him in mind when I was making cards with this set.  I stamped the images in gray, then used Polychromos colored pencils to fill them in. 




That's it for me today, but keep an eye on my blog and Instagram @cherylcards for more.  I just couldn't stop.  Next up in the blog hop is Jenny!  Don't forget to leave comments for a chance to win a gift certificate!   Here is the list of all the ladies in the hop:

Erin Lee Creative November Release

Hello!  I am your last stop on the Erin Lee Creative blog hop for the November release, now available in the shop .  If you haven't seen everyone's creations yet, check the list at the bottom of this post. *PRIZES* Two $50 gift vouchers will be given to winners chosen randomly from comments on each blog in the hop.  Winners will be announced on the Erin Lee Creative blog on November 9. Let's get to the projects! First up are two cards made with the same products...the  Stripe Background Stamp  and the  Stripe Sentiments Stamp Set .  There are so many possibilities with just these two products!  I started with an autumn rainbow of distress oxide inks: I really love how these sentiments fit perfectly in the stripes, and they look like the labels we used to make with those vintage label makers (remember turning the wheel and pulling the trigger for the right letters?).  They look especially good when heat embossed. (Sorry for getting that song...

Erin Lee Creative January Release

 Hi friends! Today we are hopping to show off the newest release from Erin Lee Creative .  Once again there is a host of unique stamps, dies and stencils, as well as some amazing rainbow holographic cardstock. *PRIZES* Be sure to comment on the blog entries in the hop so you can enter to win a $50 voucher to use in the ELC shop .  There will be two winners chosen at random from the comments. On to the projects: For my first card, I wanted to showcase this big and bold sentiment from the new Stay Golden  stamp set.   One of my favorite techniques is coloring with Copic markers over the top of white heat embossing.  It is a great way to make colors pop on dark cardstock.    Doesn't this stamp just beg for vibrant colors? So fun. The next card uses the new Nesting Stars die set, a sentiment from the Stripe Sentiments stamp set (previously released), and some ink blending with the Retro Swirl stencil  (also previously released).  I lov...

Hello, friends!  Today I get to join a fantastic blog hop hosted by my sweet friend, Tracey McNeely .  Starting November 1, each day will bring tags made by fantastic cardmakers using stamps from each of the companies below.   *PRIZES* Be sure to comment on Tracey's blog and follow directions there for a chance to win prizes from each of these sponsors: Today I have the honor of sharing the tags I made with Sunny Studio stamps and dies.  Their layering sets are so clever and realistic!  They are offering a $25 gift certificate to their shop. First up is a tag made with the Petite Poinsettias stamps and coordinating dies .  These flowers are small but so detailed--perfectly scaled for a tag. Next are two tags made with the Christmas Trimmings stamp set and coordinating dies .  Again, the detail on these small layering stamps is amazing!  Those pinecones are so perfect.  I also used the "for" and "you" stamps from the Fruit Cocktail s...
