Thank you

I was in need of a thank you note and had an idea to use this pretty Basic Grey paper from the Kioshi line and emboss something onto vellum. I grabbed Asian Gardens and used the border with white detail embossing powder.

Thank you BG

Thank You

Embossed thank you

For this card I heat embossed the lace image from Faux Fun with clear detail embossing powder onto Sweet Blush cardstock. I also heat embossed the frame from Very Vintage Label 4 set. The "thank you" comes from Say It With Style.

Embossed thank you close

Thanks for looking!

Thank You

Sorry for the delay in posting today...with summer vacation in full swing, stamping time is harder to find!

I made a card following the newest Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge . What a great sketch!



My card uses some paper from Making Memories Noteworthy collection, the large knit stamp from Faux Fun, a frame from Very Vintage Labels 4 and the sentiment from Say it With Style.



Add in lots of distress ink for the edges, stitching, Prima flowers, borders and a ribbon and that's it!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Wednesday!

This quick card was created using my favorite lace border image from Faux Fun, heat embossed with Black Detail Embossing Powder (Filigree) on Raspberry Fizz cardstock (PTI).



On the inside I stamped the Very Vintage Label 4 image and the sentiment from Say it With Style.

Thanks for coming by!

Plaid Hugs

For my husband, who deserves way more than a card!

Card Construction Details:

1.  Decide on light blue and orange scheme -- works with color wheel and Mike likes orange.
2.  Die cut cream cardstock with Nestability No. 4 die.
3.  Using temporary double sided tape, adhere die cut to pad of grid paper and stamp Waltzingmouse dotted frame from Very Vintage Labels No. 4 in PTI Spring Rain (also known as Light Blue) ink.  Perfect first time as Claire and I both geniuses. 
4.  Stamp heart from Sweethearts set.
5.  Stamp sentiment from same set in Memento Tangelo ink ("orange" in non stamper speak).
6.  Stamp plaid from WM Faux Fun Cream PTI ink and Tangelo ink onto Spring Rain cardstock.
7.  Watch Say Yes to the Dress with my Mom.
8.  Marvel that woman buys $11,000 dress when she could have room full of stamping supplies instead.
9.  Assemble card as shown, adding PTI Tea dye inks along edges and coloring white brads with a Copic marker cause it is easier than hunting through stash of orange embellishments buried under stash of magazines.
10.  Debate whether it matters that the word "and" is not centered over the heart, but is centered on the die cut.  Decide issue will remain one of life's mysteries.
11.  Notice that plaid layer crooked.
12.  Remove plaid layer and hold breath to see whether entire card ruined.
13.  Ah! Dimensionals used not all that strong and layer removes without major damage.
14.  Reattach correctly and press hard on new layer of dimensionals to stick.

Mood When Done -- Huggy

Happy Birthday



I set out to try another masculine birthday card...they are tough! I also wanted to try something different and geometric. I used a stamp from the Very Vintage Label 4 set to create a background. I went back and stamped some stars from Spring Baskets in each shape. I cut out a label 4 with the die and stamped again, and then stamped the sentiment from Say it with Style. Not my favorite card ever, but it was fun to try!

Thanks for looking!

With Love

Happy Wednesday!

Here is my card to share today:



I used the set Very Vintage Label 4 for the frame and the sentiment comes from Say it with Style . I chose to make a pocket-style card and decorated it with papers from My Minds' Eye. Lots of stiching, a ribbon and some twine finish it off!
