Made With Love Blog Hop (and video!)


Happy Valentine's Day!  Today I am participating in the fabulous Made With Love blog hop!  You may have gotten here from the super sweet Elena.  We are hopping in a circle, so you can start here and end with Elena if you'd like :)  The 2012 Paper Crafts Gallery Idol girls have teamed up to bring you a fun hop with AMAZING prizes.  Seriously, I don't think I've ever seen a hop with so many prizes to be won.  Here's the list of sponsors:

Avery Elle  | BasicGrey  | Becky Oehlers stamps  |  Bossy Joscie  |  CAS-ual Fridays Stamps   |  Fresh Squeezed Stamps  |  Gel-a-tins   |  Great Impressions Stamps  |  I {Heart} Papers  |  Lil' Inkers Designs  |  Mama Elephant   |  Neat & Tangled Stamps  |  Punky Sprouts  |  Ribbon Carousel   |  Simon Says Stamp  |  SRM Stickers  |  Sweet and Sassy Stamps  |  Sweet Stamp Shop  |  The Crafter's Companion  |  The Craft’s Meow  |  The Twinery   |  Timeless Twine  |  Unity  |  Uniko Stamps  |  Viva Las VegaStamps

Awesome, right?  Each blog along the way has one or two prizes, and if you comment at every stop, you have a chance to win the grand prize- a $90 gift card to the Ribbon Carousel!!  Details on my giveaway can be found at the end of this post.

My card was inspired by this card from Julie.  I love the different colored splashes on a clean white background.



I masked a sentiment that said "all you need is love" so that I could do "love is all you need."  I didn't have any arrow stamps or dies, so I hand-cut one from black cardstock.  I love how it peeks out from behind the heart!



I made a little video to show you how I made that heart.  I hope that no one gets offended when I say this, but I think most people find quilling to be old and farty!  I'm hoping to bring it back to the world of crafting in a new and trendy way (as you can see on this, this,and this card).  Don't be too hard on me if I sound scared or said something stupid- I was a bit nervous to record a video of myself!  Major props to those of you who often do instructional videos  :)




As a reward for watching my video, you have a chance at not one, but TWO prizes!  The first is a $20 Gift Card to i {heart} papers.


The next prize is this set of deeply etched rubber stamps from Viva Las Vegas Stamps:

For your chance to win:
Please leave a comment answering the following question:


What is your favorite Valentine's Day candy?

And don't tell me that you don't have a favorite, or you don't like candy.  If that's the case, just make one up :)  I love to eat the Dove chocolate hearts.  Nestle Crunch hearts are a close second, followed by the tiny boxes of Nerds. (as cute as they are, I was never fond of conversation hearts.  Too chalky)

All comments must be made by Thursday, February 21st at 11:59pm EST, and I'll post the winners sometime the next day.

The next stop is the talented Erin Lee. Have fun!

    ReplyDelete
  48. I like Snickers Bars. they aren't specific for Valentine's Day but they're my fav. I have done quilling and would like to get back to it (I have the paper and tools). Your project has inspired me to get busy again. Love the card. thanks.

Thanks for showing us how it can be bold and exciting...and for the great video! My favorite candy, by the way, is Sees California Brittle (the dark chocolate version). If I can't get that, I also love Hershey Kisses!!

  112. Love this! One of my crafty goals is to learn to quill, so I hope to see more of that on your blog (even if that does make me old and farty!) When I was little, my dad always got my mom a pecan bear claw from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. It's all caramel, pecans and milk chocolate - Yummers! She would cut a little piece off of it and savor it for a few days. I still love them to this day!!

I especially love that you spoke to us "face-to-face" at the beginning. :-) I'm still not convinced that I should try quilling (I may not have the patience required), but I LOVE your quilling projects, and I loved seeing how it is done. My favourite Valentine's candy? I'm one of those who doesn't generally eat candy or chocolate, BUT if I do, it is Lindt 70% dark chocolate - yum!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  142. I've always been enchanted by quilling and was just thinking the other day that it doesn't have to be "old" & farty--it can be totally hip & trendy, if it's done right! THIS? This is done RIGHT! ;) LOVE LOVE LOVE it! This is a trend I'd LOVE to see rebirthed with the flair you've done it here, chica! Stampin' "O"!!!

    ReplyDelete
  148. Oh me oh my ... this quilled heart card (with the arrow behind) is amazingly cool! I do think quilling has a bad rap, but not if you have anything to do with it. One of my first card pins was your quilled "hello" card, and I didn't realize it was yours until I saw it again on someone's "best of" list. Would love to see more!

    ReplyDelete
  149. I like the candy hearts but they are not as good as they used to be.

  150. I'm excited to come back and watch the video later because the card turned out so beautifully! My favorite Valentine's Day candy would be a big ole heart full of assorted chocolates!

  152. I love chocolate truffles. My hubby spoils me each year and gets me a box... I really enjoy it since I don't get to splurge on them often!

  153. Love your heart. I definitely plan to try it myself. Thanks for doing the video which really makes it easier to understand.

    As for candy, I'm a Dove Chocolates lover myself.

  161. Love your heart, card AND videos. Looks like I have seen all 3 of them LOL. I think I got some quilling strips in a crafting package someone gave me for my birthday. As for Valentine Day's sweets, I don't 'celebrate' Valentine's Day (it was an unknown concept in my part of the world when I grew up), but I'm hooked on chocolate covered hazelnuts. Since I have to be careful with sugar, I kid myself it's ok to have 3 hazelnut balls with my coffee every night, LOL.

  163. I love that heart!!!! such a great card. I love Russell Stover crunchy, nuts and chewy chocolates. I buy myself a box every year for Valentines Day and I toast my grandmother who loved them too.

  164. I am in LOVE with your heart! I have yet to try quilling but have enough to get me started! I really enjoyed watching your video and had to laugh at the mess on your desk...same here!! I favorite Valentines candy (not a fan of conversation hearts either) hands down has got to be Lindt Milk chocolate bar. I also like the Dove hearts but didn't get a chance to buy any this year. Great work on your card and for bringing quilling back! haha :)
