-----------------------------------------------
NOW ON TO THE INSPIRATION:
TIP: substitute a different vellum quote or sentiment in the cards below and 'voila,' you have a card for a different occasion. QQ has a wide array of vellum quotes to fit any occasion.
________________________________________________
THERESA
Tips/techniques: Theresa says "since I don't have Copic markers (a bit pricey and not in my budget right now) a great alternative to use is Colored Markers with Mineral Spirits (also known as Gamsol). To give the dress forms more dimension she added pop dots.
________________________________________________
RHONDA
Items Used: Quick Quotes Miss Morgan papers & Julie Je T'aime papers, Julie Je T'aime Glitter Chipboard pieces, QQ vellum quote on the inside, QQ chalking inks in Limeade, Very Berry, Tahiti and Purple Passion. Marvy Uchida Heart punch & cardstock.
Tips/techniques: A2 tent fold card. Trim cardstock to 11"x4.25 wide, score at 5.5" and fold. To create the wavy ribbon adhere in place with small glue dots. To create her doily: she layered her chalking ink colors. She started with a layer of Limeade, then mixed Very Berry over the top.
________________________________________________
MICHELLE
Items Used: Quick Quotes Savvy Davvy papers, QQ Maraschino Cherry Powderpuff Inks. Basic Grey Stamp, Martha Stewart Loop de Loop Punch, Queen & Co felt border.
Tips/techniques: Card is 4.25" x 5.5". Michelle inked the edges of all of her papers + used the same chalking ink to stamp her sentiment.
________________________________________________
MELIN
Items Used: Quick Quotes Mary's Garden papers, Coordinating Mary's Garden Ribbon & Brads, QQ Bling, QQ Bloody Mary powderpuff chalking ink, Itty Bitty Box Quotes (babies, kids & family)Tips/techniques: Melin used her Cricut and a home-made Digital Stamp to create her look above.
________________________________________________
LISA
Items Used: Quick Quotes Miss Morgan papers, QQ chalking inks in Very Berry, Purple Passion & Mocha Mama. QQ bling, QQ Itty Bitty box of quotes (holidays & events).
Tips/techniques: Start with a square base card and use a border punch to cut across the top of the card only. This will allow you to 'peek' at the inside of the card. Then mount your square base to other layers of paper. To create the background: use a stipple brush & 2 colors of QQ powderpuff ink to swirl on color (use one color at a time to avoid messing up your ink pads & start with the lightest color first).
________________________________________________
JULIE
Tips/Techniques: ink all edges of each paper to make each piece of the card stand out from each other. The QQ powderpuff chalking inks are 50% ink and 50% chalk so easily they glide on.
________________________________________________
JEN
Items Used: Quick Quotes Miss Morgan papers & QQ ribbon. Heidi Grace transparency, + various brads.
Tips/Techniques: to create the base of the card Jen selected a section of the 12x12 word and phrases paper from the Miss Morgan collection. There are many cute sayings to choose from. She then added a transparency over the top of the front of the card and held in place with brads.
________________________________________________
DONNA
Tips/Techniques: for an easy way to jazz up any card just pop on a Glitter Diecut Piece.
________________________________________________
ADORA
Tips/techniques: to add texture and dimension: cut out butterflies & ink the edges. Then use pop dots to attach it onto the card. The banner was printed from the computer.

Beautiful, beautiful cards! Love them.
So... I have to admit I'm not much of a card marker although these beautiful cards have given me great inspiration for scrapbook layouts and canvas pieces. The card by Adora is my personal favorite. The green and blue used in the card are two of my favorite colors. I can't wait for more cards and inspiration!
Shannon Turner
I'm not a card maker, (I prefer scrapbooks). But, the cardS are lovely. There are so many ideas I get for scrapbook pages just by looking at the cards. The tips are also universal. I also love the paper & embellishments used.
Can't wait for Private Reserve in CA!!!!
Great job ladies!!!! Im already a follower loved all the beautiful color you all used today!

Wow, what great inspiration! I love Quick Quotes so my favorite part of the hop was seeing how the different quotes can take center stage on the cards. I also love the glitter die cuts (self-adhesive, woo-hoo!) and the beautiful chalk ink backgrounds. Great job, Design Team!
Wahoo! Great job on all the cards.
Thanks for sharing
I just did about 10 birthday cards myself and it's great that I can get some more ideas from these blogs. Awesome job design team!
Beautiful!!
Great cards from entire team! I really liked Rhonda's hearts and Lisa's 3 quarter up flap design! wonderful job! Have 2 b'day's in august! thanks for the ideas!
Wonderful cards!! have always been a fan of QQ, but the embellishments have really been awesome! Love the butterflies!!
I liked the cards. Rhonda's was beautiful.
Norma W
I loved all the cards. This was the best blog hop I have been on. It was great being able to go to so few stops and then if some card really made an impact being able to click on it and go to that blog for more details was great.
Awesome cards! I love all of them, especially the ones with the butterfly themes. Quick Quotes is my absolute favorite vendor and I can't wait to see the designers at the Novi Private Reserve!
Gorgeous cards. I liked Adora's best.

I love all the butterflys. I am addicted to butterflys. Thanks for all the great cards and ideas.
This is fun. Thanks for the experience. I liked Donna's card because I'm always looking for ideas for a more masculine card.
I LOVE all the cards!

Cards are beautiful - love the bird cages! Would so love to win a place at the Private Reserve - thanks!
Was at CKC this weekend. Liked the page layout make and take. Didn't know you could use mineral spirits with markers too. Does it matter which type of markers? I use ms with pencils.
I liked Michelle's card, probably because I could almost hear her voice talking about it since I take classes every year at GASC in Arlington with QQ. I also loved all the ones with purple...my favorite color is always inspiring and eye catching to me!
The card designs are so great..You ladies are so talented and it is great that you share your finished products with us...thank you..

Every card is wonderful - I am glad I do not have to choose just one. Thank you for sharing some of the card insides. I think we sometimes forget that we can carry the design into the sentiment area. FYI, I've tried two different browsers (and cleared the cache) and I am not finding "join this site" in the right-hand column so I subscribed to posts in the left-hand column.
What a fun Blog Hop, everyones card are amazing, as always! Now off to check out all the others!

Theress (QQ DT)

I took the Live out loud class at CKC yesterday, also bought the Kid Explosion kit and a canvas kit at the booth... cant wait to get started on them.
Joined the site and am a facebook follower... cant wait to see what you have to share next. Hope to make it to the event in York, PA... how can you not come to my hometown withouth me coming to visit. ;)
I LOVE everything with the Je t'aime line...I love you QuickQuotes! (pun definitely intended:) I like how you show examples with your productas the base, but with other companies to accent since that is what most of us do in reality.
I love the look and feel of vellum... It adds a lot to a card. I'm a follower already, and Melin sent me from her site. This is an awesome giveaway... would love to win!
All gorgeous cards, ladies. Would love to win a QQ reserve. My friend has gone and says they are amazing.
Loving this blog hop! It's great to see so many projects on so few blog stops. I must admit that my favorite cards so far are the ones on your blog. I just LOVE the QQ products, and your DT has such amazingly talented members. Thanks so much for the continued inspiration!!!!!
Luv, luv, luv this blog!! This is so inspirational and the hop is on!! I discovered QQ a year ago and it has kept me so inspired since!! I am going to school full time and homework keeps me tied down but this blog helps to keep me motivated to finish so I can work on my creative things!!!! Love YOU QQ!!!!
