Amazing Paper Grace

 
I opted to go with darker colors today and I’m using an older Cuttlebug Folder, but a classic - Swiss Dots.  I think that I use Swiss Dots more than the rest.  The main card is layered with blue shimmery cardstock and is popped up over a card base that is Fabriano Acquarello Watercolor paper.  […]

This is the last set of Cuttlebug borders that I have not shown, so I made an additional card so that you could see the With Love set.  It is made up of flowers, swirls and dots.  I lined up two of the borders vertically and ran them through my cuttlebug then repeated the first […]

 Well, I thought I would take a break from the Cuttlebug stuff, but I received a couple of emails requesting to see the borders, so here you are!   This card includes 4 separate borders - three from the Frills set and one from the Just My Type Set.  Although they are easy to use, I […]

 
Can you tell that I’m having a ball working with these new folders?  I neglected the old ones so I’m really excited to have something new to play with and I’ve enjoyed the challenge trying to do something different, not anticipated, with each one.  Of all the folders (believe it or not), this one really […]

Howdy, I’m back again with another new Cuttlebug embossing folder, this one is called Leafy Branch.  I rearranged the items on this card several times because I wanted to be stingy about how much of the leaves would be covered up - that’s how I settled with the half oval shape.  Here again I tried […]

Yes, I am loving, loving, loving the new Cuttlebug embossing folders.  This one is called Argyle.  I’m trying to keep things simple, but I feel a little bit naked without layers.  To emphasize the dimension on this embossing folder, I used soft chalks to add a little bit of color.  The background is then popped […]

I’m so tickled that I got one of my new Cuttlebug Embossing Folders in the mail today.  I don’t know what made me order this particular one, but I just love the lone serene bird sitting in the tall grass.  I played with this folder for a long time trying to figure out ways to […]

 
I don’t know why, but these colors remind me of a Dreamscicle.  This card is actually left over pieces I had laying on my table.  The half circles are leftovers of a Nestibilities frame I was cutting and I hung on to them.  After playing around with them a little bit, they reminded me of […]

I rarely use purple, so I pushed myself to use it today.. It’s out of my comfort zone I think.  Anyways here is, a post for today with another card heavy on the Nestibilities side. 

 I’ll be back later today to post the supplies for this post.

Well perhaps it is deja vu…I posted a card with the same materials yesterday.  As I sat down today at my craft table, I had my test stampings and leftover papers laying on top.  Normally I would throw the test stamped image away, but what a waste, right?  So I decided to make another card.

I’ll […]

 
This is one of my favorite Wordsworth stamps that I’m tickled to use again…it’s a fabulous sentiment.  Today I did something different….I cut the sentiment in half so that I could use each part separately and I like the feeling that it’s a totally different stamp.  Faith normally appears vertically and the rest of the […]

Okay, I know this is way different, but as I was running errands today I kept thinking about intertwining two nesties and this is what turned out on my table today.   I intertwined them by clipping them on one of the areas that’s hidden, then I popped them up with pop dots.   The paper is […]

 Of all design papers, my very very favorite right now is K & Co. Blue Awning.   Sigh…I wasn’t sure that today I could cut into it to make this card but I pushed on (smile).  This one was pretty straight forward.  I used Nestibilities and popped the elements up for lots of dimension.

With my last post, I used distress ink applicators that I made because they fit into my stamping budget.  Yep, I can’t afford to buy handles and blender pads (Cut n’ Dry foam)  for my Distress Ink colors right now.  I love these applicators that I made tho’ - I still used the Cut n’ […]

 
I was playing around tonight with my newest petite scalloped Nestibilities and came up with a flower using the smallest oval as the petals.  After playing around with it for a while and adding layers, I finished off the flower and then didn’t quite know what I wanted to do with it.  It’s rather large, […]
