Paper Crafts 225 Cards and Gifts Blog Hop!!

*this contest is now closed*
This week the newest special issue of Paper Crafts is hitting the shelves. Its called 225 Cards and Gifts and it looks to be an amazing issue!


To celebrate, the blogs Moxie Fab World and Paper Crafts Connection are hosting a blog hop today! The participants are the top 10 published designers in the issue. (my jaw is honestly on the floor looking at those names, seriously!) Everyone designed a special project for this hop only, based on the theme of the issue-gifts!
Maren Benedict
Beatriz Jennings
Kim Kesti
Carolyn King
Anabelle O'Malley
Melissa Phillips
Danni Reid
Roree Rumph
Sherry Wright


By visiting and answering a question at each of the blogs, including Moxie Fab and Paper Crafts Connection, you have 12 chances to win one of these three prizes from Provo Craft: Cricut Expression, YourStory Laminator/Binder, or a Yudu Screen-Printing Machine!!!
The deadline for commenting on all 12 blogs is Sunday, April 26 at midnight MST. The winners will be announced on both the Moxie Fab World and PC Connection blogs on Tuesday, April 28.

Here is a look at my project. I created a set of cards and decorated a tin to place them in.

The yellow ribbon ties all the way around the tin.
The label shape and ribbon slide are both from Spellbinders. The ribbon slide has been airbrushed with a Copic marker.
All the chipboard butterflies are from the Chatterbox Fabulous collection.
I love the long look of the cards, and the papers and accessories from Chatterbox sure say spring! (which we need up here in northern MN! :))
Here is the question you need to answer to be entered in the drawing:
Who is your favorite person to make handmade gifts for and why?

Alena said...

My favorite person to make stuff for would have to be my nurse. Since I have stage 4 breast cancer, I have developed ascites which is extra fluid in my abdominal cavity, so I have to go get it drained out ever 2 to 3 days, and if it wasn't for my fabulous, wonderful nurse Elsie, being there, I don't know how I would get through enduring the huge needles. She always distracts me and makes me laugh. She is so modest too and just says she is doing her job, so I don't have to make her stuff, but she is still very thankful. She loves my hand-made cards.

cottagerca said...

I love to make gifts/cards (including packaging) for my 2 sisters and my mom - they look forward to getting something unique and I love to personalize it to their interests!

SuZeQ said...

I used to love making things for my mother ... she was always in awe and was so appreciative. Since losing her two years ago, I have to say my daughter. She doesn't have an artistic bone in her body (takes after Gramma!) so that's probably why she enjoys my creations.

Speaking of "in awe" ... that's how I am right now as I look at your beautiful endeavor.

Thank you for this opportunity!

Lissa said...

Your cards and tin are beautiful!

I love making gifts for so many people, but probably a fellow scrapper/stamper. Since we share the same passion she really appreciates what I've made...

My best friend. She's also a crafter and really appreciates the time and effort you put into a project.

Karey said...

Anyone I am close to. I have a niece who married one of our nephews. Her mother passed in a plane accident when she was 12. She had no sisters. Anytime I send anything for her 3 boys she is very appreciative.

JessicaK said...

My mom - she's a big fan of expensive and brand name items, which is not really possible with my budget in terms of gifts. But she does value the time and effort that goes into handmade, personal gifts, so she loves when we make her something from the heart.

Thanks for the chance!

Gorgeous cards, truly beautiful. Thanks for sharing your wonderful inspiration.

Renee Griffin said...

It sounds like such a cliche, but I have to say "my mother". Anything store bought simply seems like an impersonal cop-out.

Renee (stampinground@cox.net)

Marla said...

My mom, hands down, because I know she cuts the fronts off my cards and adheres them to clean cardstock to reuse for her friends. She calls my cards, "the ultimate sticker"! It is the highest compliment, and I'm so glad the cards get recycled.

cjsimplyscraps said...

awesome tin and cards. also thanks for the earlier post of the bed. brings back memories of cku and conventions...laying out the goodies. the thrill of it. better than a full bag of halloween candy. i like to make gifts for my mom.why? because she deserves it,and because she APPRECIATES it!!

Anonymous said...

I enjoy making handmade gifts for those who enjoy what I've made and appreciate the added gift of it being made just for them. The person I like most to give handmade gifts to is my mother-in-law because she appreciates the added effort and love that goes into it – she says handmade gifts are special and do come from the heart. Isn’t that sweet!

Anonymous said...

My favorite person to make gifts for is my awesome daughter. She loves handmade things more than any other gifts. I love the color combo that you used -- it's really neat.

Darling cards! I really enjoy making handmade gifts, but my mom is probably my favorite recipient. She always appreciates them, and is often my guinea pig for new ideas and projects!

Wow love the cards. I actually have five favorite people to make gifts for they are my grandchildren. I love making mini albums and story books for them.
Cheers, Irene :)

Rozette said...

I would have to say my mom. I am almost 40 years old but any handmade gift I give her is proudly displayed in her living room. You would think I was a Kindergartner sharing her first handmade school project with her mother. She makes such a big deal of it. And for those few moments, I am taken back to being five years old and beaming with pride over my creation. THanks mommy.

Taylor Chase Graham said...

My daughter...she makes handcrafted gifts, so she understands and appreciates the love and care that goes into it.

heidi said...

Wow! I love the colors you chose for your project. Gorgeous!

My favorite person to make gifts for is my mom. She's an amazing artist so when I give her something I made and I can tell she truly likes it, that opinion means so much to me. She often redecorates her home and I love it when my pieces show up over and over again. She's not the really sentimental mom type so I know she's not displaying the stuff just because her kid made them (yes, I know I'm no longer 6 - LOL!).

a paper {life} said...

I am sure this has been repeated over and over in the comments above mine but my mother would be the person who I enjoy crafting for the most. She has all of the special memory cards I have made her over the past 10 years displayed in her office like they are trophies. I make something special for her every chance I can.

Hi, my favorite person to make homemade gifts for is my best friend Marilyn, and that's because I know she appreciates the effort put into them and loves all the ideas I come up with.

my favorite person to make something for is for my friends....I don't think my family fully knows what goes into handmade items and I feel that my friends appreciate my projects more. Is that sad to say?..LOL. Love that box and cards...the color combo is so pretty. Thanks, SHaron

Thanks for a chance to win great prizes! I like to give cards to my friends in my woman's small group just to let them know I care and I'm praying for them!

My favorite person to make crafts for is my mom. She always appreciates it and displays whatever I have made.

I often make cards for long distance family, it's so much more personal than email and store bought. I've also started making cards for folks that I work with, even the guys like them! I love your butterflies, so beautiful!

Kimberly I LOVE the cards you made with this Chatterbox line! LOVE the coordinating tin! Simply BEAUTIFUL!! Don't you just love Papertrey Ink and the Spellbinders Nestibilities!
I make my mom a mini scrapbook every Mother's Day. Between the photos I have of my 7 sisters & brother and MY six children, I am able to create something different every year that I know she will love & appreciate.
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful project & the chance to win one of these fabulous prizes!!

My friends tell me they love the cards I send. Most people email now and they tell me they look forward to opening them

Elizabeth said...

I love your blog and I am so envious of your Spellbinders experience! Wow, what a great experience you must have had. Where do I sign-up? LOL

My favorite person to give handmade gifts to are my Mother-In-Law, she appreciates them so much, shows them off to her friends and saves them for me to see my progress. :o)

Beautiful projects! My favorite person to make gifts for is my mother, she always appreciates them.

Judy said...

I really am lucky to have 2 sisters that do different crafts. I like to make cards for each of them. They are much younger that I, but enjoy the "homemade" things.

Lisa Hjulberg said...

Definitely my friend Lisa. She is a crafter, too, but makes jewelry and hair adornments for little girls, and I've been the grateful recipient of many of her beautiful jewelry. She loves my papercrafting and is always thrilled when I give her something special I've made. I guess we're kindred spirits!

Swedie said...

What a great box and card set.. will make a beautiful gift. I love making gifts for my grandchildren, which are one of a kind and could never be purchased.

I love making gifts for my mother, because she is a fellow paper crafter and always appreciates the effort and thought put into something handmade. :)

Ginny Larsen said...

my sister--she moons over what i make, obviously making me feel like it was worth it. she can't create (or hasn't practiced) and so she loves what i can do.
