EAD Blog Hop Monday- heart you card

It's Monday and that means it's time for the EAD weekly blog hop.You might have found your way here via Jenn's wonderful blog, if not be sure to head on over to the EAD Blog to get the order and to check out all the wonderful creations from the team.

I made a card using a few of the My Family Vinyl Rub-ons, and a scroll from the Funky Frames Stickerz.

I am your last visit on the hop today, so head on back to the EAD blog for your chance to win a set of the new Little Red Stickerz!

oh, and don't forget about the DT call as well as the Color Challenge, which you can access from the sidebar on the EADBlog.

Have a beautiful week. It's going to be a busy one here. Meghan leaves for Navy boot camp on Wednesday and my dh, Kenny, is having back surgery on the same day. I cannot believe that I am sending another girl off to the Navy... it's only been 5 months since Kara left. I am so very proud, but Kleenex is loving us. lol

Shut up! and other fun EAD news

EAD is now available for purchase at Paper Maniac! How cool is that? I must admit that I have not heard of them before, but after checking out the site and goodies in the store, I foresee a shopping trip in the near future!

I made a card using bits and pieces from three sets of Stickerz. The strip uses the Damask Background, and the sentiments are from the Yippee Sentiments and the Saying Hello Sentiments.

Howdy! :) It's Monday and that means it's time for the EAD weekly blog hop.You might have found your way here via Jenn's amazing blog, if not be sure to head on over to the EAD Blog to get the order and to check out all the wonderful creations from the team.

As soon as I saw these adorable Robot Buddies Stickerz, I immediately knew that I had to use them on a layout with these pics of the girls jumping. I really like it when inspiration strikes so effortlessly, which is usually the case with any of the fantastic EAD products I have used.

who loves ya card- EAD Stickerz

Today I have an easy way to customize a pre-made card using EAD Stickerz. I picked up this cute set of owl cards in the dollar spot at Target the other day and I knew immediately that I wanted to add a sentiment from EAD to finish it off.
To do so, I simply glued a piece of DMC Floss to the card to give something for the owl to hold. I then adhered a sentiment from the hoot a Licious Stickerz set to cardstock, cut around each letter and then adhered each letter to the floss to create a banner effect. I also adhered an epoxy button to give a little extra pop. 15 minutes top, and most of that was cutting around each letter.

How would you like a chance to be on the most amazing DT ever?! EAD is having a DT call. Here are all the details. :)

Have a beautiful day! Tomorrow is the EAD Blog Hop, so be sure to come back and see what the DT has been working on this week. I also have several more cards to share this week featuring the oh-so-fabulous Stickerz.

EAD Blog Hop Monday

Hello! :) EAD is constantly evolving, and we are going to start doing a blog hop each Monday instead of just once a month, There are also some more fun and exciting changes coming soon, so please stay informed by visiting the EAD blog.

The theme for July is red, white, and blue and I have a project to share that incorporates the new Stickerz as well as a fabulous BlockArt piece. The Stickerz are so easy to add the perfect finishing details to. I applied them to patterned paper, trimmed to shape and then added glitter glue and puff paint to add some pizzazz. I even adhered the flag to a toothpick to give it some added dimension. This piece can be displayed year round, so don't be afraid to grab some seasonal EAD Vinyl and see what you can create.

supplies: EAD Freedom Block and the Patriot Stickerz set.

pp: Scenic Route and Pink Paislee
