Amazing Paper Grace

Happy Friday!!  It’s another Flourishes Friday.  Yesterday I was working with the Color Challenge on Splitcoast which called for real red and it’s been laying on my desk ever since.  I decided to put it back in play with the card I was working on today and paired it up with my favorites cream and […]

I’m back with a twist on the Circle Medallion tutorial that I put out some time ago.  I guess it never occurred to me that it would be just as easy to make it with a square or rectangle.  If you’re tired of going around in circles, here’s another frame type to add to your […]

Todays simple card features a new set from Flourishes - Figs and Pomegranates.  It’s a sultry, sultry image and it colors up beautifully.  I so struggled with the pictures here as they don’t show the vibrant green of the watercolored background or the rich sparkle of the gold ribbon I wrapped around a paper frame.  […]

I couldn’t resist casing a card from Wendy Weixler (Wendybell on Splitcoaststampers)  who is Featured Stamper 92 this week.  I set out to look through her gallery and my oh my, it was tough narrowing things down to one card to case.  This week I find myself in need of a sympathy card for a […]

I’m  sharing a Christmas card with you today.  I’m so loving this new Spellbinders Labels 2 Die that  I didn’t waste any time trying it out!   It lends itself very easily to framing an item.  I’m also trying out one of the new sentiments from one of the November released sets from Our Daily Bread […]

I’m back to share one of the fabulous new sets from Our Daily Bread Designs - Psalm 23.   I selected the current Sketch Challenge 201 on SCS specifically because I thought this stamp would serve as a wonderful focal point.  The stamped image is framed with a hand embossed flourish and piercing following the pattern […]

This is one of the simplest cards I done in a while, without the layers that are typical for me.  I was so taken with the Reindeer from the Flourishes Sleigh Ride set.  I envisioned them suited up and ready to go, bridle in and reins laced - that gave me the idea to tie […]

 
Many of you remember that I removed all my ribbon off of spools and rolled it onto matboard bobbins so that I could decrease the huge storage space that rolls command.  (Check out this post to see what I mean. ) Well as I re-rolled the ribbon, I had many empty spools left over and […]

My word, I simply don’t know where to start - this is going to be a very long post, I hope you’ll hang out with me until I get to the end.   I feel like today is my birthday or anniversary — you get the idea, it’s a really special day.  Why you ask?  Well, […]

 
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 […]

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.  […]

This totally slipped past me but I did not get an email from the first persons name that was pulled, so I’ve pulled another name for the Blog Candy being offered by Our Daily Bread Designs.

And, the winner is . . .

Donna, please email me with your snail mail address and note which set you […]

 
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 […]
