2022 International Womens Day Hop + Giveaways

3/12/2022

Hi everybody! I'm here to celebrate 'International Women's Day' which kicked off this week with a Instagram Blog Hop and a Facebook Linky Party, from March 8-15, 2022 IST. And the fun part is...you can join us too! Details below...

Here are the amazingly generous Sponsors...

March 8th is a day aimed to help nations worldwide eliminate discrimination against women, but as not to leave our guys out...International Men's Day is also celebrated on November 19 each year. But today and this week is ALL about our wonderful women!

The idea behind this hop started a few years ago with 10 amazing women card makers who wanted to encourage other women through their crafts. Just a small word of encouragement from fellow women goes a long way and can do wonders.
So we come together again and empower our sisters all around the world. Pretty awesome, right? We look forward to building a positive environment with your support.

For today's project: I was inspired by the colors, beauty, and strength of the courageous people of Ukraine. My heart goes out to our friends & family that are under siege and we may feel helpless.

So us crafters are uniting by making blue & yellow cards (Ukraine flag) or sunflower cards (Ukraine National flower) to show our support and stand in solidarity for Ukraine.

If you'd like to join us, please use the hashtag #cardsforukraine

I used this amazing Valentina Girl stamp set from Sponsor Unity Stamp Company, with their NEW nesting dies to create this wonderful project with heat embossing, alcohol markers, and a little touch of sparkle.

Hi everybody! Kim here, and I hope this finds you all doing well and being inspired by all the crafters posting many creations these past few weeks to entertain and inspire us. On behalf of CAS-ual Fridays Stamps we are celebrating and Sponsoring 'International Women's Day' all month long. Their Blog Hop, a Linky Party, and an Instagram Hop has been EXTENDED until March 31, 2020 IST. And the fun part is...you can play along and join us too! LOT'S of Giveaways up for grabs!!! Details below...

March 8th is a day aimed to help nations worldwide eliminate discrimination against women, but as not to leave our guys out...International Men's Day is also celebrated on November 19 each year. But today and all month is to honor and celebrate our wonderful women, women empowerment and sisterhood all around the world!

The idea behind this hop started last year with 10 amazing women card makers who wanted to encourage other women through their crafts. Just a small word of encouragement from fellow women goes a long way and can do wonders. So let us come together and empower our sisters all around the world. Because we're in this together! Wow! Pretty awesome, right? We look forward to building a positive environment with your support.

For today's project: I was inspired by the beauty, spirituality, and sisterhood of our amazing CFS 'Flower Angel' and 'Angel Hugs' stamp sets to create this precious project with water colors, distress inks, die cuts, heat embossing, and some sparkle.

Tutorial: I started with an 8.5x11” yellow 100lb Papertrey Ink cardstock, folded in half, because I’ll trim it down at the end. I cut the left edge off a 4x6” turquoise panel from AC Tropical cardstock, using my die cutting machine with a stitched curvy scallop die from SimonSaysStamp and adhered to the card base. As I was cleaning up my craft desk, I came across some random pieces I had saved from previous projects, as we all do, that got me thinking I could incorporate some of them into this new project. I had a yellow die cut circle and a white cardstock panel that was sprayed with iridescent glimmer mist. So, using a PF blender brush I inked up the yellow circle with some fossilized amber distress oxide ink to make it a little darker and give it some interest. And using my die cutting machine again, I cut a smaller circle, from Gina Marie Designs, in the upper right corner of the white panel, that is smaller than the yellow circle. And using a water brush I added ink splatters in peacock feathers distress ink and fossilized amber oxide ink to match our project. Once dry, adhered the yellow circle to the outside of the panel with Tombow Multi liquid glue to move it in place. And set aside, do NOT attach yet.

Hi everybody! Kim here, for CAS-ual Fridays Stamps to celebrate and Sponsor 'International Women's Day' which is kicking off today with a Blog Hop, a Linky Party, and an Instagram Hop from March 8-31, 2020 IST. And the fun part is...you can join us too! Details below...

March 8th is a day aimed to help nations worldwide eliminate discrimination against women, but as not to leave our guys out...International Men's Day is also celebrated on November 19 each year. But today is ALL about our wonderful women!

The idea behind this hop started last year with 10 amazing women card makers who wanted to encourage other women through their crafts. Just a small word of encouragement from fellow women goes a long way and can do wonders. So let us come together again and empower our sisters all around the world. Wow! Pretty awesome, right? We look forward to building a positive environment with your support.

For today's project: I was inspired by the beauty and strength of our fabulous CFS 'Be A Unicorn' stamp set, with coordinating 'Unicorn Fri-Die' to create this amazing project with distress inks, heat embossing, and some metallic sparkle.

Tutorial: I started with an A2 white card base and a gray/white star patterned paper ½” smaller and adhered to the card. To make the unicorn I used an “ink smooshing” technique on watercolor cardstock using distress inks, details in my ‘categories’ in the right side bar. Once dry, stamp the unicorn with Versamark clear ink, sprinkled with silver embossing powder, and heat set. Using a die cutting machine, cut out the unicorn with coordinating die cut. And adhere to the card. I love how detailed it is. Isn’t she beautiful? Then I stamped this meaningful sentiment with distress oxide ink, because it’s thick, sprinkled with clear embossing powder, and heat set. And it shows the color beautifully. Using a die cut from my stash and blue metallic cardstock, I cut out the flourish piece and all the stars, and adhered to the card with liquid glue to complete this sparkly beauty.

Here is a close up of all that beauty and sparkle...I hope I've inspired you to support women everywhere through our crafts and our kindness.
