Good
morning and HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DeNami friends! I am so excited to be a part of today's DeNami Design
blog hop! March is DeNami Design's birthday month, and this year they are celebrating an incredible 24 years in the business!!!!! Can I get a Woo-Hoo?? Today the DeNami Design team and DeNami Design customers are
celebrating with a blog hop all about birthdays!!
Hopefully, you've arrived here by way of Deb Fischer's blog, Paws-itively Yours. If so, you are on the right track! If not, you'll want to head over to the DeNami blog to start the blog hop at the beginning. (And remember, if you get lost along the way, you can always head over to the DeNami blog to get pointed in the right direction.)
Don't
forget, there are some amazing DeNami prizes to be won! We are giving away THREE gift
certificates to our website...however, you won't know the winning amount until
we announce the winners on Tuesday, March 12th! We'll be giving away one gift
certificate to a random participant (DT members not eligible) and then we'll
also be giving away TWO gift certificates to TWO people who comment along the
hop! Since it's our birthday month, we'll be giving BIGGER gift certificate
amounts, so you'll want to be sure to comment on each stop.
You have until
Monday, March 11, 2013, 11:59 pm PST, to leave comments on all the
blogs to be eligible for a prize.
Let's take a look at my birthday creations, shall we?
Yes, it's true: I went wild with DeNami washi tape and a background technique from my February Ways with Washi feature to make this pair of bright and cheerful birthday cards! Both cards feature the oh-so-lovely Birthday Script stamp which is so large and pretty it can be the focal point of these cards! I kept the emellishments to a minimum to keep these flat and easy to mail. Other DeNami products I used for these: white cardstock, petal pink cardstock, desert orange cardstock, Jet Black Staz-On ink, Deco Scallop border punch, and Crystal Lacquer Pearl Pens--which are awesome for applying small pearl accents right where you want them!
With all that washi tape on these cards, it is only natural to be playing along with the Washi Tape challenge over in the Moxie Fab World, right?
Well, that does it for me! Before you leave for more birthday inspiration, be sure to leave a
comment to be eligible for the randomly drawn prizes and then you can
be on your way to the next stop on the hop, the Confessions of a DeNami Stamp Addict blog of DeNami super-fan, Tina Milbourn.
Thanks for stopping by for a little slice of {birthday} bliss!
