Good afternoon sweet friends! I had not planned a card today but the Good Lord sent me some inspiration and all I could do was say Yes . . . Thank You . . . I’ll take it!! It’s a rainy day here, but I’m loving it! So, paired with this inspiration, I grabbed my favorite mug with coffee and sat down to make a pocket card. The inspiration I got was that by attaching the round piece using Spellbinders™ Splendid Circles to Spellbinders™ Romantic Rectangles (doubled and cut with a fold at the top), I could hang the circles on the outside of the pocket as the mechanism you can pull. This was a quick card because I knew I wanted a flower for the inside of the circle and that once of the larger stamps in my collection could grace the inside of the card. It’s hard to tell how the card works just my looking at it, but that’s the fun of it all, right? Above the card is in the pocket.
The pocket is barely embellished but over in the corner of the studio was a packet of fabric paper that I hadn’t thought up a good use for. Leaving the backing in place, I used the fabric paper for the pocket portion of the card. So here I have the card outside of the pocket. I embellished the flower using Spellbinders™ Foliage and added the filigree accents using Spellbinders™ Ribbon Buckles. I cut a fish tail shape by simply doubling the fabric paper and snipping off the end.
Then on the inside of the card I stamped one of my all time favorite sentiments of all time from Quietfire Design called When You Get To The End. I was so on the fence about putting that final flourish on the bottom, but I think I needed to. That’s all for me today . . . what’s on the horizon? Look for more boxes, I had one sitting on my desk that felt awkward and I worked out the kinks! I love it when that happens!
| SUPPLIES I USED |
| Stamps: Quietfire Design – When You Get To The End Paper: Die Cuts with a View (Fabric), Neenah Classic Crest Cream 80 lb Cover Ink: Colorbox Chalk Ink – Rouge Bow: Peg Bow Maker – Figure Eight Loops Bow with 5 loops on 2 1/2″ spacing Accessories: Spellbinders™ Splendid Circles, Spellbinders™ Romantic Rectangles, Spellbinders™ Foliage, Spellbinders™ Ribbon Buckles, Seam Binding, Recollections Pearls, Zva Creative Pearls, Prima Flower, |
Thanks for stopping by, see you soon!!
Oh yes, PS!! . . . I have seen the comments asking about the manufacturer of the Life is A Song . . . Sing It stamp and I’ll have to apologize to you all, I normally keep good records. I made that project over three months ago and that part wasn’t accepted so I never thought I’d be showing it. I cannot find that stamp for the life of me; I looked for over an hour yesterday, but no luck. I’m thinking that it’s Penny Black. If you know for sure, please email me through my contact page. I’ll continue to look for the stamp, but it was laid aside in that crazy, pre-CHA frenzy that happened in my craft room.
ETA: Marie and Raquel told me it was Inky Antics so I popped over to their site – here’s the link – Life Is A Song.

Hi –been busy unpacking from my recent move to NO. of Sacramento
area…Granite Bay. Whew! I’ve be looking at all your ideas and
not had a minute to write you and congratulate you on all you do for US!
I love this card…and want much to make one as soon as I get my
crafting part of my office all organized.
Would you be so kind as to give me a CLUE as what “cutter” I should
buy. This is all so new to me. My husband of 55 yrs marriage went
home to be with the Lord Christmas Morning Dec. 09. Since then, I
have sold my home and bought a beautiful one the Lord guided me to.
Please advise me on my question if this is Possible.
Love ya, and so does God

So very Pretty! You just keep raising the bar. It is such a beautiful way to be able to use a big stamp and yet still add so much extra embellishment. Love the sentiment as well as the beautiful “Quietfire” calligraphy talent.
