Zva Creative December DT Blog Hop!

Hi everyone and happy Monday :)

Happy holidays to you! Zva Creative and the talented new 2014 Design Team welcome you to our December blog hop where we officially welcome many of our new team members to our monthly hops! We are very excited about this year’s team and are sure that you will be inspired by and love their work. Are you ready to hop along and get to know them better?

And as a bonus— today’s hop is EXTRA special because you will get a sneak peek of Zva’s newest products which are set to be released at the next CHA tradeshow!

The hop begins at Zva Creative’s blog! Be sure head on over to check it out! You will also find a complete list of all the participating blogs there (in case there is a glitch along the way). 

As you know, Zva offers many beautiful color groupings for pearls, flowers and crystals.  If you like what you see along the hop you can find a list of stores and online retailers that sell Zva HERE.

After having finished a LOT of Christmas cards during the last weeks, I just wanted to do something totally different :-D Therefore I created this Birthday card in bright colors and with lots of flowers :-)

I cut strips of various patterned papers (Fancy Pants) and adhered them to the bottom of the top folded card. I stamped a simple Birthday sentiment (Whimsy Stamps) with Memento "London Fog" (to match the grey colors from the patterned papers) and wrapped a length of twine around the card and tied it into a bow.
And -of course- I used one of the adorable "Clear Florishes" stickers from Zva Creative to finish my card! :-)  This sticker is not from the brand new collection but it is still gorgeous, isn't it?! :)

If you would like to play along with our design team, just follow along the blog path.  I am linking to one of the Zva designers and that designer is linking to the next and so on. Be prepared to be inspired along the way!

The Blog Hop starts today, December 30th and runs through midnight US Eastern Standard Time on Tuesday, December 31st.
