Shaping Up Blog Hop

Welcome to the Shaping Up Blog Hop! You should be coming from Wida's blog. If you want to start at the beginning or see the full list of the participants, you can check the order HERE. There is some serious talent!

After participating in the Paper Crafts Magazine's Gallery Idol competition this year, we wanted to do something together to say thank you to PC and the paper craft community for supporting us. Each of us has a giveaway as part of the blog hop, and if you participate in the entire hop, you have 20 chances to win! Details on my prize are below. ;)

We're all making shaped cards for the hop. I'm linking mine up to the Paper Crafts' July Gallery Challenge (summer shaped cards) Here's what I came up with:

Yep, what's more summery than a BBQ? I cut all of the layers on my new Cameo (love it!) and inked the layers to add a little depth. For the sesame seeds, I added some Glossy Accents. I created my own punny sentiment using a Kim Hughes font. I was kicking myself for not tracking down one of those fancy toothpicks (argh!), but I made one using a little glitter. Here's a close-up:

Wondering about the prize? Here's a picture:

I'm giving away:

• A copy of Paper Crafts Magazine's Card Creations v. 10
