If you've come from visiting Lisa at My Lil' Bits, you're in the right place! If you've just happened across my blog and would like to play along with our fun hop, you can go to http://www.inkingitupcrazy.
Each Design Team member will be featuring an project made especially for this hop using their favorite crafting tools and techniques. Make sure to check out each member's blog. There will be some fun prizes along the way, AND there will be some AWESOME ideas!
It was so hard for me to choose my "Favorite Thing" because I have SO MANY, and they change all the time. Currently, my two absolute favorite things are my Pink By Design Stamps and my Martha Stewart punches. Sarah over at Pink By Design makes the most wonderful stamp sets. They are of amazing quality and are so versatile. Although I adore my Cricut I'm also a punch junkie and I'm OBSESSED with Marthas punches and craft products. Her new Valentines Day punches are GORGEOUS, so for this hop I decided to make a card using a few of her new punches.
Recipe:
- Recollections Craft Cardstock
- Pink patterned paper from Michaels
- DCWV Midnight Spell Stack (glitter paper)
- Martha Stewart Cherish Hearts Border Punch
- Martha Stewart Flourish Heart Punch
- Pink By Design "Scriped Year" Stamp Set
To create this card I used two of Martha's new Valentines Day punches: the Cherished Hearts border punch and the Flourish Heart punch. I think the Flourish Heart is my absolute FAVORITE punch right now, so I wanted the card to feature the gorgeous punched image.
The sentiment is from one of my absolute favorite Pink By Design Stamp sets, Scripted Year. Scripted Year can truly be used all year round and the font is just gorgeous.
Are you ready for some blog candy? I figured a Martha punch would be a fitting giveaway today, since they are some of my favorite things :)

What a cool idea to make your card with those punches. It turned out so beautiful! I love paper stacks. I love to feel them, look at them and use them. Sometimes I think the paper is too pretty to cut, and then I have to laugh and cut it anyway to use it. hahaha This is fun! :) Janis northrose@slowar.com
One of my favorite things right now is my ATG. It has saved me so much money on adhesive, that I can use to buy more stuff!!

Your card is sweet. I haven't seen the Valentine MS punches and I must find them because the ones you used on this card are awesome!! Thank you for sharing your favorites with us.

Love my Cricut! I'd been wanting one for a long time so bought a baby bug in August ($80 at Joann's, too good to pass up). It now lives in my high school special ed. classroom as my sweet husband got me an Expression (plum!!) for Christmas!
Hmmm my favorite craft thing. I have to say my Cricut Expression. I also love Cricut Design Studio as well. I love to craft with my High School Sweetheart and my special needs son. It's so much fun crafting with the two of them. leahscarddesigns@twcny.rr.com

Beautiful card. I just have to many papercrafting favorites to narrow it down to one. I love anything Provo Craft, Spellbinder, Martha Stewart and Tim Holtz. That's about as narrow as it gets. Would definitely not like to be with out any of those tools/products.

Wonderful card and wonderful choice of favorites, although i do not think I could narrow it down much at all!

Love your card! The offset heart really pops.
I love my MS punches too. They are easy to handle, punch cleanly and are so quick to use. BUT to add that certain something to my cards and LOs, I have to say Stickles are my go to supply. They add that finishing touch to a project that just doesn't seem complete!
Thanks for sharing! :o)
