De and Lisa please contact me, jenn@torendi.net, for your Veggie Felties! :) Sadly nobody participated in the Earth Day Challenge, so I guess the Cosmo Cricket Earth Love Chipboard will be a prize for another day. 

Don't forget to stop by tomorrow to see our May Kit! :D 

Last Chance! *giveaway*

This is from our newest customer Corinne! She used the Sassafras Nerdy Bird Flag Banners to add the sentiment to her adorable card. 

Ashley is no stranger to Torendi. She used our Deliciously Kawaii rub-ons on this yummy card!

 Lindsay the designer over at Whimsy Haven  came up with this Kawaii card using the "Framed Cuteness" kit.

First Annual Earth Day Blog Hop! *Challenge and Giveaways*

Welcome! Thank you for joining us for the first annual Torendi Earth Day Blog Hop! This is actually our first official Torendi Blog hop as well! So exciting! We all know that paper crafting may not be the most eco-freindly craft but we can do our part to help make it more friendly to the environment. All the Torendi DT members have projects on their blogs today and the only "requirement" was that it be related to the Earth in some way.  It could be a "recycled" project, a card to celebrate the day, or maybe even a layout about planting a garden. 

For this project I decided to upcycle my face moisturizer container.  The packaging stickers came off SO easily and it was also a breeze to clean! 

Have you seen this technique before? I learned about it taking Claudine Hellmuth's class at CHA and wanted to share.  I took a scrap piece of Bam Pop paper (notice scrap..that's being Earth friendly but not wasting those tiny pieces of paper) and placed it face down on to the sticky side of Claudine's Sticky Back Canvas.  You then wet the paper and rub it off.  The images is now on fabric!! How cool it that?!

Here is my finished project!

A better view of the lid and new Bam Pop "fabric".

If you want to join in the Earth friendly fun, our CHALLENGE to you is to make a project that has some sort of "recycled" materials in it and link it back to us in the comments below.

If you just want to leave some love on ALL the DT blogs today (including this one), you will be entered to win some "Fresh Mix" Veggie Felties. There are 2 sets of Felties up for grabs.  All winners will be announced Friday April 30th.

Let's talk about...

Rub-ons!  I will be working with I Heart Kawaii vinyl rub-ons by E.A.D Designs which are a Torendi Exclusive! These can be stuck to nearly anything; glass, plastic, wood, ceramics, pretty much any thing with a smooth surface (or not) as you will soon see! I created several projects for today, the first one screamed the used of these amazing rub-ons due to it's setting. We went to an awesome Japaneses Restaurant for my son's Birthday it was the best time!

Yatta means "You Did It" as a expression of joy in Japanese so I only felt it appropriate for this birthday celebration. Here is a detail of the cute monster included in the set. See how I was able to manipulate the vinyl? That just would not be possible with the other rub-ons out there!

My second layout is of my lovely daughter who came home a tad late from school. You know it's kind of hard to be mad when she brings you fist full of flowers even if they are Dandelions!

Here is a detail shot of the buttons I easily applied the rub-ons to:

Lastly I made this fun card mixing up some Bam Pop Volume 2 Collection and the Nerdy Bird paper line from Sassafras. This little storm cloud goes perfect with these papers!

Well I hope you feel inspired to rub on more than sun tan lotion! Have a fantastic day!!! Beth

A fun card....

using this, this and this! :)

I absolutely love the hurly burly fabric. When I was younger I was obsessed with rub ons and haven't thought about them in years. I bet my sons would have a blast with them! Great stuff!
