Amazing Paper Grace

 
This card again shows the circular embossing technique using a  Cuttlebug folder . . . look familiar?  This was actually the first circle I cut, but since the pattern was a little more subtle in the foil, I set the sample aside and made another earlier week.  Coming back around to this beautiful foil, I […]

Okay, I may be getting used to this video stuff now.  I spent the day running errands and the entire evening baking goodies for my family.  Two quiches and one pineapple upside down cake later I sat down to decide what to post for Thursday.  It was so much easier for me to make a […]

I just love this sketch.  It’s this weeks Sketch For You To Try from Jen del Muro over at I{Heart}2Stamp.  This poor card languished on my desk needing something more, alas I rescued it from a  possible trip to the trash can and was able to rework so things so that I could post it.  […]

How many of you purchased those small Cuttlebug embossing folders and then were disappointed that their use was limited?  Yeah, me too.  It seems that you couldn’t really bite in far enough to get the image where you wanted it and some of them have an orientation that limits their use as well.  I’ve been […]

 
Last week when I was making the Poinsettia card, I was toying with some votive candle holders on my desk and thought how wonderful it would be to make a set of paperweights.  The small poinsettia in the Flourishes Poinsettia and Boxwood set was perfect for my plan.  I thought it would be nice to […]

 
I have a card to share with you today that is one of the older Our Daily Bread Designs sets; this particular set is the Cross of Christ set.  I love this set and because of the variety of stamps and verses, it’s easily become one of my go to sets when I need a […]

What a wonderful sketch offered for the SCS Sketch Challenge, SC198.  I had embossed round vellum piece laying on my craft table and once I saw the weekly sketch, I knew it would be perfect to use.  I’ve chosen a sentiment from the Footprints In the Sand set offered by Our Daily Bread Designs.  

This card […]

You all have been so patient!!  Thank you for hanging in there with me.  I had a little bit of a backwards week with several days of migraines.  No, I’m fine now in fact better than ever.  Perplexed about last week though as I rarely get headaches, so they had me put down good.  I’ve […]

 
How often is that you get to make a gift for yourself?   Well, in my case next to never.   I’ve always sewn, knitted, crocheted, embroidered, cross stitched, quilted and paper crafted with the idea of giving it away.  Sometimes I didn’t know that I wanted to give away until someone came to the house and […]
