Amazing Paper Grace

 
WooHoo, a couple of my new embossing folders came in yesterday…they were ordered more than a month ago…grrrrr.   It was great to get to play with them, and again I resorted to the foil paper - this is a precious shade of light blue.  This card is a big one…I think I got carried […]

 
Wow, people emailed me lots of questions about the most recent cuttlebug card that I did.  Many wanted to know the name of the embossing folder I used  and where to get it, so I decided to do another card using that same folder.  The name of the folder is Gratitude and it’s a little […]

 
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 Nestabilities frame I was cutting and I hung on to them.  After playing around with them a little bit, they reminded me of […]

Layers, layers, layers……I love ‘em.  I’ve had this design in my mind for a couple of days; so glad I got a chance to sit down and work it out.    The frame treatment is much like a design I did back in February that you can see here.   There are already so many options with […]

A quick card to share.  I wanted to pull together something to showcase the daisies on this Printworks stamp.

Pink and green seems to be my favorite color combination and it worked out well with the design paper as well.  I’m stuck on square cards and as with other recent cards, this one is 6×6. […]

Another card to share — isn’t the ribbon gorgeous?  The ribbon is where I got my inspiration from and I built the card and picked my colors from there.  It’s a pretty straight forward card and is one of my first attempts at coloring with my Copics.  I’m still in the infancy stages with them, […]

I spent a wonderful evening sipping cocoa, listening to my Ipod and stamping.  Yep, the room around me was in shambles but I have my priorities you know!  So, the chilly evening and my want for something good and hot to drink led to the inspiration for this card.   Actually I had the stamps […]

Splittcoaststampers issued a wonderful technique lovers challenge, TLC-153, where we were encouraged to learn the folding of a series of eight circles called a Dahlia fold. When all eight circles are folded and assembled, the combined unit makes a large Dahlia. Instructions for the fold can be found here. The results […]
