New Thank you Hand Made Card | Ribbon | Heat Embossing | Hand stamped

Hello!

Thanks for stopping by today! Here is a card I made for my dear mum. She requested a thank you card for their neighbor, from whom they received some delicious homemade apple pie the other day! Whats better than sending them a couture handmade card in return huh?

I bought a HUGE new designer paper pack from My Minds Eye today. On sale for $8 at Michael's! I also just happened to find out that Michael's was selling Slice Design Cards, which retail for $39-$49 dollars, for $5.00!!!!! I bought 4!!!

I used paper from Making Memories "Totally Girl" pack. Ribbon from Michaels (on sale of course!), and white trim from Reasonable Ribbon. Thanks so my Spellbinders die for the scallop!

Close up of my pointy frame, using a design from my Vintage Finding's design card. Sentiment stamp from a Michaels sale bin...woo hoo!

Finished product! I also heat embossed the sentiment with clear powder. Looks real nice up close.

Thanks for visiting my blog!

Engagement Card | Congratulations! | Pink & Blue | Sparkles

Hello!

What a week it has been! I'm trying not to use the phrase - "I've been busy.", but replace it with "I'm spending a lot of time on other things." You make time for the things you care about! This week I've been caring about work and the gym! I've done some light crafting in the evenings, but have mainly been spending extra time (not at work or the gym) hanging out with my hubby.
Tonight, however; Is Friday! And he works until 9pm, so that leaves me plenty of time!
I put together this wonderful little card for my cousin Larry and his new fiance Lindi!

I especially like the...

-hand sew sequins
-turquoise embossed sentiment
and
-the brown sparkle bow.

What do you like about it?

Red Bird Cage | Embossed Paper | Hand Made Card

Hello Again!

I made this card for the My Favorite Things - Wednesday Stamp Club. 

I started out using damask paper from My Minds Eye  as my background. Then, I use some random light blue scrap paper to scallop and embossed it using Spellbinders Classic Scallop Die, and  Sizzix Frost Embossing Folders. Then I took a paper towel, and rubbed metallic red acrylic paint over the textured card stock.

I used my Slice die cutter to cut out the circle and circle scallop. And then used pieces from the Grandma's Attic collection for the birdcage and bird. I also used ribbon from the Really Reasonable Ribbon December Ribbon Club.

I hope you enjoy my card!
