Getting Cricky Favorite Things blog hop!!

Hello! Welcome to the Getting Cricky "Favorite Things" Blog Hop! We are so glad you could join us! Kristal is looking to retiring some of her older stamp sets to make room for new. So tonight, we are showing off our favorite K. Andrew stamp sets!

I am so excited and honored to be asked to be a guest designer for this hop! Thanks so much for having me, Getting Cricky team! You all know I am a big fan of Kristal's stamps and I love all of you ladies on the design team!

If you have come from Jennie's Blog blog you are on the right track. If you stopped by from your dashboard, please start at the beginning HERE at Lisa's fun blog!

Just in case you didn't already know all of Kristal's stamps benefit charity! At least $1 per stamp set goes to help people! How awesome is that?!

If you would like to purchase some K. Andrew Design stamps please visit her online store HERE! Kristal's stamps are perfect for cards, layouts, and so much more!

For my project I am featuring my two favorite stamp sets "Hooty Owl" and "Owly Hoo Sentiments".

Here is what I made to share~

I used the K.Andrew stamps, as mentioned above. I used my CTMH Artiste Cricut cartridge to make the little purse and I cut it out at 4 1/2 inches. The patterned papers are from the DCWV Celebrations stack. I used green glitter paper and a piece of white cardstock from my scrap pile for the die cuts and the little banners. I inked all of the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I tied on some peapod twine from The Twinery and added some glitter glue. (The die cuts were cut at 2 3/4 and 3 inches from the same cartridge.) Hope you like my project tonight!

I have some blog candy to give away to one follower that hops tonight! I have a fun little twine sampler goodie bag to give away. I will choose a winner on Monday using Random.org.

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog! Next you will go to Debbie's Blog to continue the hopping fun!

Please be sure to come by tomorrow for my "Have an Owlsome Fall Y'all Blog Hop"! There will be fantastic inspiration and great prizes, too!

Hugs,

I made a cute and simple little card for Chriss and I want to share it with you today.

I started with some kraft cardstock and used one of my corner chompers on all of the corners. All of the other papers and layers are from the DCWV Celebrations stack and I used a corner chomper on all of the edges. I love all of the colors and images on these papers! The Bingo cards and title are even cut from one of these patterned papers. I then cut a cupcake using my CTMH Artiste Cricut Cartridge and pop dotted it up. I cut it out at 3 inches. Lastly, I added a little orange gem by Bo Bunny, some dots with a white Jelly Roll pen, and different glitter glue accents. Here's another view.
