Welcome to yet another blog hop. Today’s blog hop is involving participants from the "Art with Heart" team which is managed by Claire Daly. Only a small number of us are participating in todays blog hop but there is actually over 90 demonstrators in the “Art with Heart” team and we are spread all over Australia. If you wish to join the “Art with Heart” team, e-mail me for more details. We have a fantastic team forum, a business building club not to mention lots of friendly and supportive fellow demonstrators.
The "Art with Heart" team are running blog hops each and every month. (They are to be held on the last day of the month.) Keep this in mind to come back and visit if you are not a regular visitor.
You may have just come from Claire Daly's blog but if not, there is a link at the end of my post (and each post of those involved) and you will be able to make a complete journey to all of those demonstrators participating. If you leave a comment on all of the blogs, e-mail Nikki at [email protected] and you will be in the draw to win some lovely blog candy (see picture below).
Note: There is a deadline of 72 hours to enter for the blog candy, (finishing at 6am AEDST, Saturday April 3rd, 2010) and only non SU demos are eligible to win. Please don’t feel discouraged to comment if you are a fellow demo or if the blog candy contest has closed as I love comments from all my visitors.
For our third blog hop, we are celebrating the new Autumn/Winter mini catalogue. I have decided to make a masculine birthday card this time. I tend to find male cards the hardest of all but it was quite easy when using the new autumn traditions designer series paper.
Materials list:
Stamps: Outlined for fun
Inkpad: Soft suede (autumn/winter mini catalogue)
Cardstock: Always artichoke, ruby red, whisper white, more mustard
Punches: 1/2" circle
Accessories: 1/2" soft suede polka dot grosgrain ribbon (autumn/winter mini catalogue), autumn traditions designer series paper (autumn/winter mini catalogue), vintage brads
Take your time to enjoy all of the lovely creations that everyone has created for your viewing pleasure. I hope it is an inspirational journey for you.
Click here to stop by the next blog on the tour, the lovely Tina Gillespie from Woodcroft, SA.
I am including a list of all the lovely other 13 demonstrators participating in the blog hop so if you run into any trouble viewing pages, you can still move onto the next person.
For those who have never viewed a blog hop before, there is no beginning or end, it is a full circle so you can begin anywhere!

Love all the colours in this paper pack, and they're great for a masculine card. I like the simplicity of the outline greeting against the 'busyness' of the paper. Nice job!

Ros, I think we all struggle with male cards, thanks for the idea of coordinating designer series paper.

The card looks great with the patchwork look. Great idea!

The colours really pop out at you and make this a very classy card for a man.
