I am so excited to be a part of the DeNami Blog Hop this month! If you are on track you should have come from
Karen's blog. If you got lost you can head back to the
DeNami Blog. And now on to the fun stuff! I was first introduced to DeNami stamps a year ago at a craft show. I asked Nami a million questions and she was so enthusiastic and helpful that I spent most of my time shopping at their booth! After the show I went to the DeNami website and then the blog, the rest was history! I didn't know that there was a whole online world with card challenges and blog hops and some of the most amazingly talented cardmakers out there! Thanks to the designers at DeNami I have been inspired ever since! Anyway, enough with the gushing, on to the card. This little chickie was the first DeNami stamp I ever bought. I used a Sizzix embossing folder for the heart background, a little bit of twine from The Twinery, some Stickles and voila! I didn't stamp a sentiment because I thought I could use this card for a baby shower or a birthday card. I love using little cards when my kids go to birthdays! Stick it in a gift bag with the present and you're good to go!
This card is 3 1/2 x 3 1/2. Because I use twine so often I wanted to try using notches to hold it into place. I have never done this before. I think I will be using this technique a lot!
I wanted to add a few Stickles to the flower and the dots to add a little sparkle. In my opinion, you can never have enough bling!
How clever to use notches to use the twine - I'm going to use that idea!! Love this card - adorable chickie, and the embossing is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteSo cute, Lindsey. Love the notched on the side.
ReplyDeleteYou combined some of my favorite things in this card...Chickies, Pink and black, and BLING! I *heart* this card.
ReplyDeleteThis little chickie was my first ever Denami stamp too several year ago and like you say - the rest is history!
