Welcome to Rubeena’s Crafting Anniversary 2-Day Blog Hop!
This hop is epic with more than 60 guests and over $600 in sponsored prizes! Not only are we celebrating four years since Rubeena first discovered cardmaking but also crafting in general. This industry is made up of wonderful individuals who are creative, inspirational, kind, and incredibly supportive! Hop along so you can learn about why we create and how much joy it brings us!
So happy to help my friend Rubeena celebrate this milestone! If I look back on my own papercrafting journey, it takes me back many, many years! I did papercrafting for years in the form of scrapbooking and then I found stamping and cardmaking. My first blog post was October 8, 2007 when I posted about a special The Angel Company was having (The Angel Company was local to me at the time and was similar to Stampin' Up). Wow! How far I have come!! ♥♥
I absolutely love this stamp set from Lil' Inker Designs called Best Mom. You can create this large bloom in any color and also use the same stamp for leaves. I layered it over an impressed the Perfectly Plaid Cover Up Die. I added a black die cut Hello Word Die and a small stamped sentiment from Because. To finish, I added some sparkling clear confetti from Pretty Pink Posh.
