Greetings Blog Hoppers! The challenge for tonight's Blog Hop was to choose a project from one of the design team members and use it as inspiration for your own unique project. I decided to welcome two of the newest design team members, Maile Belles and Erin Lincoln, with my cards for tonight.
Let's start with Maile. Maile created this super-cool card using the Fillable Frames set to stamp her background as well as her focal image. I loved her layout and concept, so I used those as my starting point.
I used one of the larger polka dotted circles from Borders & Corners: Circle to create the pattern on my background as well as the frame for my image panel. I stamped the cupcake and sentiment before mounting the image panel over the Lemon Tart ribbon; similar to Maile's panel and ribbon detail on the inspiration card.
Next up is my card inspired by one of Erin's amazing design team projects. Erin showcased the new Luck of the Irish set with this jazzy little number. I'm apparently in a birthday mood, so the St. Patty's day theme didn't carry over, but the layout was like striking (a pot of) gold!
I used the square set-up and the stamped frame as the starting point for my project (I didn't emboss my center like Erin did because I don't have the required tools, but I loved that detail). I stamped my butterflies on cardstock as well as vellum to give them dimensional flare and used my Fillable Frame die and stamp to get the same effect as Erin did with the frame from Luck of the Irish.
I love how both cards turned out! Thanks so much for the inspiration, Maile and Erin!
Take care and happy hopping!

Great cards! I love the background on the cupcake one. Way to think outside the circle . Takes me back to my love of the Spirograph. (Gosh I feel old)
Gorgeous cards! You really took an inspiration piece and made it your own. Great job!
Oh, I love what you did with the first card! I am going to have to think outside the box and try using stamps for "other" things like backgrounds!
Lizzie, great cards. You did the DT proud:)

Love how you made the background with the circle! Very creative!
The first card you have done is just ab fab. Loved the use of cupcake image and how it is kind of off center. Beautiful.
OMG I *love* your circle background card. Your butterfly card is also awesome - I really need to try the 3D effect one of these days.
Gorgeous cards Lizzie! Sorry I'm way late to the blog hop. I'm glad I stopped by to see your post, the cards are fabulous!
Love both your cards! Especailly how the cupcake is too the side!
Your cards turned out beautiful!! I love the colors you used... so springy!!!
