Etsy Inspired Blog HOP

It's the Etsy Inspired blog hop today!

What is Etsy Inspired? It's a great weekly inspiration challenge put on to showcase the amazing talent that Etsy artists have. We get to make something inspired by a different Etsy Shop each week. There's always a great prize to be won, and some really great things to be inspired by. Each Saturday morning a new shop is posted, along with some samples done by the design team. All you have to do, is take a look around the Etsy shop, find something that inspires you, and CREATE! It's fun and very rewarding.

ASHLEY, the our main girl!, has decided that we should have a blog hop to encourage more participation. She got SOOO many different companies to donate a prize to different people for participating. If you're just getting started, be sure you start at the beginning at Tiff's blog.

Here's the schedule for the day:
(times are Pacific)

9am Tiff

10am Lee
11am Lindsay
12pm Jackie
1pm Sara
2pm Joy
3pm Kerry
4pm Shannon
5pm Heather
6pm Ashley



The wonderful company sponsoring on my blog today is Paper MakeUp Stamps. Katie Cotton is the owner, and she's absolutely FABULOUS! I love this girl! Her stamps are fun and very creative. She's offering this great prize pack for a lucky winner that participates with my challenge.

So here's the challenge, it's quite simple. Make a card using only plain paper or cardstock. NO PATTERNED OR DESIGNER PAPER! You can add any embelishment, color, stamp, etc. you want. Pretty simple. Make your card, post it on your blog with a link to my blog, then leave me a link to your card by Tuesday, March 3rd at midnight. I'll pick a winner and post it the next day. If you upload your picture to SCS or PCP be sure to use the keyword EICLIN.

Here are the cards I made for my challenge:

And here are the cards some of the design team members made:

Bowl card by Joy
Floral card by Shannon
Flower card by Kerry

Little Red Riding Hood card by Ashley
Aren't they all wonderful? I love this design team!

Next go to Jackie's blog at noon (pacific) to see who here sponsor is, and see the great inspiration she has for you. But first! come and join us at Paper Craft Planet for some chit chat and fun!


I can't wait to see what you come up with!!! And be sure to join in with us next Saturday for the next Etsy Inspired Challenge.

I had fun making a card. I combo'd this challenge with Kerry's since obviously it would be silly for me to enter it in yours to win, but i still wanted to show ya!

Hi Lindsy,

I love your challenge!!! Not using patterned paper is usually a real non challenge for me because I love to use lots of card stock, but I love what people did for your challenge and I hope you had a great turn out and fun yesterday!!!! I really look forward to seeing you around and getting to know you better on the Etsy DT!!!

Hi Lindsay. I found my way to your blog from Paper Makeup. I have been following Katie's blog for the past five months and love her coloring ability and her new stamp line. I thought I would try your challenge. It was fun and although the colors in the photo don't show as vibrant as they really are - this card is for my sissy and I know she's gonna love it. Thanks for the challenge! PS Love your banner and the music - I could play this all day!

Here's my card:
