You Are Amazing!

Hello! 

Back on this chilly Monday.  I actually saw a little bit of snow, flurries....not sure if it was 'real' or ocean effect aka 'fake'.  Either way it's still snow I suppose--a 4 letter word!  lol

This card will be entered into the following Challenges;

MFT, Sketch
Dies R Us, Something New
Mod Squad, One Die Cut
Simon Says Monday, Something New
Stamping Sensation, Anything Goes With Die

 

I used the MFT stamp sets Pure Innocence Will You Be Mine and Simply Fabulous Sayings and Blueprints 12 dies.  The Heart Strings die is from Penny Black.  Swiss Dots Embossing Folder.  Corner Tab and Vellum accents.

 

My 'something new' is the Designer Paper.  I just bought a new pad of The Basics & Brights, by DCWV.  (so sick of Christmas paper lol). 

 

This is a simple little card but it will be mailed in the morning to a wonderful gal who needs a little reminding. 

 

Thanks so much for coming by.....need to get a hot drink to warm my bones.

Happy Birthday Tag Card

Good Afternoon!

This card will be entered into the following Challenges; Mod Squad, One Die Cut, Dies R Us, Something New, Simon Says Wednesday, Party!

 

You know how I love to mix and match crazy Designer Papers.....not sure I pulled this one off or not, I'm not feeling the beautiful Wild Orchid card stock.....although it does POP!  lol  Designer Paper by Nicole Crafts, Floral Pattern.  Sentiment from Power Poppy, Short Stacks.  Now the NEW item is, Elizabeth Craft Designs, Tags And More 1 - Lace, this is what I call a 'Bonus Buy'.....someone gifted this to me in the most generous spirit, they had already purchased it and instead of returning this second set they passed it along to me.  Don't you fret I never let a random act of kindness go unrewarded--no matter what they say!  :)     

 

 

Sizzix Sassy Labels And Stitched Frames, MFT Fancy Flourish dies.  Black and White Gingham Ribbon (I will put this on anything that doesn't move!), Jute Twine and Heart Charm accents.

 

Thank you for coming by.

Butterfly Love

Well hello! 

I trust you all survived the Holidays.  Ours were just lovely, but I am glad that they are over, turning the calendar on a new page, a bright clean slate!  I always love this time of year....the beginning when ALL things are possible.  Happy New Year!

This card will be entered into the Challenges at Papertrey Ink, Adding Color To Stamped Images and Mod Squad, One Die Cut, hosted by the ever popular Kathy Krug   Head on over to her Blog and read about some very exciting news she has going on!  ;)

 

I had fun with this card, so nice to use fresh bright colors......Christmas was so last year lol.  I used the Papertrey Ink stamp and dies set, Flower Favorites (butterflies), stamp set, Daydreamer (colorful dots) and the Swoosh die (word die cuts). 

 

 

 

 

I cut out the butterflies completely, stamped the images and then colored a bit deeper color outlining the butterflies (kind of hard to see).  I then added a crease and mounted them on the negative space of the card stock, lined with black card stock underneath.....they kind of POP a bit more like this!  I also added a bit of Wink Of Stellar Clear to the single yellow dots.

 

Thanks so much for popping in....now rush right on over to wish Kathy future success!

Clothespin Ornament

Hello again! 

I made a few of these 3 years ago, and this year I got to make one for my own daughter, yippee!  Super simple, thank you Pinterest!

This will be entered into the Challenges at Stamp TV, Emboss Is Boss, Mod Squad, Anything Goes! and Simon Says Wednesday, Sparkle.

 

I used the Gina K Designs stamp set, Lacy Borders.  The tag die is from MFT, Stitched Traditional Tags, which cuts and embosses that beautiful stitching--I use them quite a bit, probably one of the best dies around!  Spellbinders Hearts die, which was cut in White Glitter Paper.  A Clothespin, of course, some Adhesive Pearls, Silver Twine and some Craft Paint.  AND the veil is part of MY wedding veil.....love that little touch!

 

And now for the dip...................

Her dress is also covered in some pretty glitter.  :)

Thanks so much for coming by.....love it when you do!
