Back to School Blog Hop

Hello and good morning! 
It’s time for the DeNami September Blog Hop- the theme is: Back to School! I was a little nervous about this one, I had no idea what I was going to create. Then, with my neck/ back flaring up, I didn’t know if I would be able to actually make something. Thankfully, I was able to make something AND I think it looks cute! Win- win!   
(Side note: stamping while not being able to move your neck is SUPER hard to do)
If you started the hop from the beginning, you’ll be coming from Dana Seymour’s blog– I heart that talented girl! Don’t worry, if you’re one of my followers and this is the first stop for you, click on over to the DeNami blog to start at the beginning. 
I decided to create both a card and project with this theme. Last year, I bought this darling little clipboard at Target (my favorite store) and it’s been sitting in my craft studio waiting to be used. While I was look at my supplies, I realized this would be PERFECT for this blog hop theme. I added some patterned paper and then created notebook paper!

How cute is this card and clipboard together? Creating something like this would be great if your kiddo has trouble remembering what things need to be brought to school.

Notice any new DeNami products? See that awesome alphabet twill ribbon? We have that in stock and will be selling it soon! (We’ll post the link on the DeNami FB page and blog when it’s available)

I hope you were inspired by this post, along with all the other blog hop stops. Don’t forget, leave comments on each blog for your highest chance of winning of a $20 DeNami gift certificate! 
That’s going to wrap up this post and the blog hop- see you tomorrow for another crafty creation!

DeNami Bright, Bold & Beautiful Blog Hop

Today is the August DeNami Blog Hop and this theme is super fun. Bright, Bold & Beautiful? I’m a huge fan of vibrant colors, and I know many of you are too.  If you started from the beginning, you should have come from Barbara Murphy’s blog. Made a little detour? That’s alright, you can find the complete list of participats on the DeNami blog.
 
For my card, I wanted to try to keep it fairly simple. With these bright colors, you don’t need a lot going on to make the card look complete. I went with a white card base *gasp* and then added the magenta cardstock for a burst of color. A few stamps. polka dots, glitter butterflies and a large bow and my card was finished. Snap, crackle, pop! Errr….more like stamp, color, glitter! 

I know you still have quite a few stops left in the hop, so I’ll wrap up this now. Your next stop: Jennifer Harris’ blog!  Last month she created a beauty, and I know she’ll have another one for you today. :) 
I hope you are super inspired today. Don’t forget to leave comments on each of the blog hop stops- there are DeNami gift certificates up for grabs!

NOT LISTED: turquoise ribbon, glitter puffs, decorative die cut

DeNami Summer Blog Hop

Hi there! 
It’s time for the DeNami Summer Blog Hop! I’ve been excited about this one all month- there is something so fun about creating a Summer inspired card/ project. I just love the bright colors that are associated with Summer. *This just might be a hint as to next month’s theme*
If you started the blog hop from the beginning, you should be coming from Tina Milbourn’s blog. Oh goodness, isn’t this girl a hoot? I just love her. If you are coming into the hop mid-way, you can always head on over to the DeNami blog for the complete list of participants. 
 
Okay, now onto my card. For this one, I decided to go the route of creating a mini Summer inspired scene. Granted, while I have never surfed before, I imagine it looking something like this on the beach. :)
Bright, bold colors and touches of glitter= perfection! I am utterly in love with our amazing glitters. If you haven’t checked them out before, or if you need to add to your glitter collection, click here.

I’m going to wrap up this post since there are still spots left in the hop. Your next stop: Tenia’s blog! 
Just a little reminder: be sure to leave comments on each stop- you just never know where the winners will be chosen! Also, it TOTALLY brightens up our days when we receive sweet comments. :) 
Have fun on the rest of the hop!

DeNami Pastels Blog Hop

Good morning!
It’s time for the DeNami May Blog Hop! I was sad I wasn’t able to participate in the last one, so I made sure I found a bit of time to play along in this one. After all, pastels are so fun to play with!
If you’ve started from the beginning, you should be coming from Rochelle Washington’s blog. However, if you started here, that’s okay too! Just be sure to visit the DeNami blog so you can see the complete listing of blogs.

With the theme being pastels, I immediately thought of flowers. It’s Spring and I’m obsessed with the Spring Flowers I set- it was meant to be. :) A while back I purchased the Martha Stewart picket fence border punch and knew that I had to use it on this card. Isn’t it a fun one?
I needed a subtle background, so I brought out my Modern Borders set and used the argyle image. Definitely can’t live without this set- it has argyle AND chevron in one set?!

It’s off to the next stop on the hop: Jennifer’s blog! Remember to leave a comment on each stop for your highest chance of winning one of the DeNami gift certificates!

Thanks so much for hopping along- I hope you were inspired by my card.

DeNami & The Twinery Blog Hop

Hi there! 
I have a fun post to share with you all. I’m excited and proud to announce that DeNami Design & The Twinery have teamed up today for a blog hop! Each of the girls will be featuring both companies on their projects, so it’s bound to be a hop full of lovely inspiration. 
If you have started the hop from the beginning, you should be coming from Jessica Fick’s blog. Don’t worry, if you get lost along the way, you can visit the DeNami blog for the complete listing of participants.
Okay, now onto my card…..
 
With graduation season upon us, I’ve been needing a few grad cards. I wanted to stick with a fairly simple layout, since those are the easiest when it comes to mass producing. 

 
One of my favorite things about The Twinery twine: it’s so versatile and comes in lots of amazing colors! I chose to use twine today to break up my sentiment from the main images. It’s more delicate than ribbon and it also bring the card together. Win-win! 
No great blog hop is complete without a prize. Well, there are TWO up for grabs! If you leave comments one each of the blogs featured, you have the highest chance of winning. Julie from The Twinery will pick a winner (at random), and I’ll do the same for us at DeNami. You just never know where that winning comment will be from! Here’s a picture of what you can win:
Okay, now off to the next stop in the hop: Shannan Teubner’s blog! I hope you enjoyed the hop thus far- you only have two more stops left!
Have a wonderful rest of your Friday! 

DeNami Birthday Blog Hop

Hello!
Well, my dear friends, it’s time for the DeNami Birthday Blog Hop! I’ve been excited about this one- it’s always fun to create birthday cards, especially with our stamps. (I may be a bit biased, but I think we have some great designs) ;)
If you started the hop from the beginning, you should be coming from my fellow Washingtonian Suzanne Bier’s blog. Should you get lost along the way, we have the complete listing of participants on the DeNami blog.
To be completely honest, I had a card all ready for the blog hop, but then realized our new designs would be out by the time this hop went live. Silly me! I just HAD to create a new card using the new stamps, right? I’m glad I did too- this card is eons better than the other one I had made. :) 
I think this little ice cream cone is utterly adorable. It was so fun to create this background! The cone is from the new Birthday Celebration I set, which also happens to have some other great little stamps in there.  (complete supply list at the bottom of my post)
I know there are many other stops, so I’ll end this post. Next up: Kristy Smith’s blog!  Remember, we have DeNami GC’s up for grabs, so be sure to leave a comment on each blog for your highest chance of winning. With the new release available now, this will definitely come in handy! 
Thanks for joining me today- I’ll talk with you all later.

Okay, now onto the card I have for you today…..well, my dear friends, I have the privilege of giving you your first peek at three of the new designs coming soon. Two of them are obvious, one of them was a little harder to photograph, so it’s not as visible. Can you spot the designs? 
 
If you have followed my blog, you know that I like to create my own stamped background- that’s exactly what I did with this new little chickie. Isn’t this design adorable? I just couldn’t wait to ink it up!  (Only 18 more days until it’s available to purchase! Start saving….it’s a BIG release.)
Okay, I better wrap up this post before I spill any more details! It’s off to the next blog hop stop: Pattie Goldman’s blog!

Valentine Blog Hop

Hello there, blog friends! 
It’s time for the monthly DeNami Blog Hop! I’m super excited for this theme- it’s Valentine! I’m looking forward to seeing all the pinks and reds, and also all the hearts we’ll be seeing. :) 
If you started the blog hop from the beginning, you should be coming from Pat Quinet’s blog. 
I went with my favorite color PINK for my card today. I just love how the Petal Pink, Magenta, White and Brown Kraft colors look together. *swoon* For my main image I went with the Owl Trio, then added lots of hearts. (Complete supply list is at the bottom of this post)
Okay, now it’s time for your next stop on the hop: Rae Ann Beyerl’s blog. I’m sure she has a fun Valentine project to share with you! 
Thank you for hopping along with us in the blog hop. I hope you were inspired by my card today. Enjoy the rest of the hop! 


Gift Wrapping Blog Hop!

Good morning! 
It’s time for a brand new DeNami Blog Hop. The theme this month is Gift Wrapping, something that happens quite a bit in December. 
If you have started the hop from the beginning, we had originally had you coming from Laurie Willison’s blog. Sadly, her father-in-law recently passed away, so she’s unable to join us this time around. The person before Laurie is Danielle Walls, our fabulous December Guest Designer. 
For my project for the blog hop, I thought I’d create some fun gift tags. I am utterly in love with the Sky Blue, Magenta, Red and Celery color combination lately, so I thought they would be the perfect colors to use for these tags.  Such happy, whimsical colors!
 

 

It’s off to the next stop on the blog hop: Tina Milbourn’s blog! If you get lost along the way, or want the details of the hop, don’t hesitate to head over to the DeNami blog. Also, just a reminder, there’s TWO gift certificates up for grabs for those who leave comments, so be sure to leave a comment on each stop.
I hope this post inspired you. Thank you so much for stopping by! 

Anything but a Card Blog Hop!

Hello and good morning! 
It’s time for the November Blog Hop over on the DeNami blog. I must say, I was SUPER excited about this theme- there were so many different options! The hard part? Deciding what exactly I wanted to create!  After going back and forth for quite some time, I finally decided on a birthday tin to hold a gift card.
If you started from the beginning of the hop, you should be coming from Barbara Murphy’s blog. This lady always has super adorable creations- you’ll definitely want to be sure you follow her blog. :)
Okay, now onto my creation…..
I went with some super bright and happy colors. After all, birthdays ARE a time for happiness, right? 
I got a whole bunch of these tins a while back (if you’d like some, I’m actually selling a few in my “for sale” section) They are great for all sorts of things! 
I brought out the new Brushed Present as my focal point. The fun thing about this stamp- you can cut off the top and look like the present is open! I thought it’d be cute to have little hearts come out of it, but you could do other things as well! 
Well, my dear friends, this is the last stop on the blog hop. After you leave a comment here (remember, we randomly pick comments from blogs as winners!), be sure to head over to the DeNami blog and leave a comment there as well. 
I hope that you were greatly inspired by the hop. Thanks so much for hopping along with us!
