Welcome to the 350 Cards and Gifts Blog Hop, celebrating the publication of Paper Crafts newest magazine.
I am so lucky to have 6 projects published in this magazine. This call was a real experience for me... it was my first time creating other items, not just cards. I have 2 card sets, a bookmark, a gift bag, some gift tags, and a gift card holder featured in the magazine. This makes me so happy. :)
For this blog hop, we were asked to create a project using one of the fabulous patterns from the magazine. All the templates and patterns can be found HERE at the Paper Crafts Website. I have created a project using Alicia Thelin's Housewarming Home Container Pattern. You can find her fab project on page 100 of the magazine.
I loved making this - I stamped the windows and doors from a house from Hero Arts Mi Casa set onto 7Gypsies patterned paper, then stuck them to the kraft house which I'd stamped lightly with Graph Background. Simple and fun. :) Thanks for the inspiration Alicia.
Now, make sure you visit all these amazing artists' blogs, all of whom have loads of projects in the magazine:
