Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Rubeena for her Crafting Anniversary Blog Hop! This hop is an epic 2-Day hop with more than 60 guests and over $600 in sponsored prizes! If you are following the hop then you should have arrived here from Leigh Houston’s blog.
I’ve created two fun cards using products that make me smile: rainbows, unicorns and jumping narwhals!
This first card uses for the Build a Rainbow & Picture Book Jumping Narwhal dies. for the sentiment is used the CZ Designs Yay stamp set. The clouds are from an older Happy Days die set.
This next card is very similar but uses the Picture Book Unicorn. I used glitter cardstock for the unicorn and added rosy cheeks with a R00 Copic Marker.
Both cards use sentiments from the CZ Designs Yay stamp & die sets. Aren’t these fun? I think even my teenagers might think these are cool…well, maybe. I get the “cool” thing wrong every now and then:)
Here’s a video to show you how I made these cards.
In celebration of this anniversary, we have several amazing sponsors. Let’s thank them for their generosity! Winners will be randomly selected from comments left on all the blogs. The winners will be announced by Wednesday, September 5 on this page. Winners will have up to 2 weeks to contact Rubeena at ararerubycrafts@gmail.com to claim their prize before another winner is selected.
Your next stop on the hop is Alex Syberia.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Ann Eslinger
August 27, 2018 at 12:50 pmI really do think that the picture book narwhal is adorable, but I could never buy it, because I wanted to be a marine biologist when I was younger. This means that I know that their “horn” is actually a specialized tooth. Just had to get that out there for everyone who didn’t know.
Raga

I was the old mom at the hockey rink as well. My friend and I used to say we don’t look as old as we are because we spend most of our time in a freezing environment so we are well preserved.

Happy 10th anniversary of crafting and I know just what you mean about being a relatively older mama to a young girl. In my culture, women get married shortly after high school…I got married when I was 32. My best friend from high school has a 13 year old daughter and I just had a baby! LOL Anyway, hugs!!!

Annette Reed
August 28, 2018 at 10:57 pmWhen I saw your cards I immediately thought of a book that I bought my granddaughter at a bookfair at the school I work at. She is eight and dearly loves unicorns. She also likes narwhals. This book is called Not Quite a Narwhal. It’s about a unicorn who was born under the sea and thinks he’s a Narwhal but knows he’s different from the others. A current carries him away one day and he finds creatures who look like him but they live on land instead of under the water. It is a great book. These cards are so cute! I just love the little Narwhal and unicorn. Wonderful job!
