Polka Dot Corset Handmade Card

Hello! Welcome friends.

Here is a fun little card I put together last night.

I used this lovely Corset stamp, found at the Can You Digi It? online store. They have a lot of GREAT digi's there, so make sure you check them out!

I colored this stamp with watercolor paints. My watercolor skills are 'slowly' improving. I try to watch a couple training videos in my spare time. I'm really not a natural painter, although I love it dearly!
Dies were cut with my Slice machine. Ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon. Pretty simple card, cut and paste, nice a simple and easy on the eye!

I didn't get a pic of the inside, but it says "Happy Valentines Day to a fabulous friend!" 

Challenges:

Little Darlings - Polka Dots
The Sweet Stop - Non-Traditional Valentines Day Card

Until next time!

About this Card:

I used the Text Cloud & Songbird which you snatch up for 15% off right now in the store! (Limited time offer). I used my Slice die cutter to cut out the shapes/dies. My big shot embossed the swirl background. I hand stamped and heat embossed the damask shapes onto the bookmark. The adorned the care with ribbon and brads to bring it all together. 

3 Favorite Things:

• The Winston Churchill quote

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!

Hello Monday - Not Much Cardmaking Today

Despite the wonderful new Mojo Monday challenge that just went up today, there has not been a whole lot of creative juices flowing today.

Today I worked, went to the gym, cleaned the apt, made dinner, trained the dog and did some ribbon organization.

 

Despite the unattractive white hanger (I checked for more vintage-y looking wire hangers, however, it appears we have joined the 21st century and upgraded...), this is a great and FREE way to organize your ribbon. 

Supplies:

• Hanger
• Bobby Pins
• Ribbon

Cost: $0!
I say that's worth the ugly white hanger...

Its 9pm and hubby will be home soon, so who knows what will actually get done with the crafting. Its my goal to be in bed by 12am...so 3 hours...anything could happen!

Enjoy your evening/day/life and thanks for stopping by CrafeWho!
