 
Hi there blog friends! As many of you guessed I was in one of the flooding areas yesterday. Thankfully I’m on ground that’s a little bit elevated but I must say that I’ve never seen so much water appear in such a short time – not even in a hurricane. It was about 10 feet from my house and thankfully receded during the day. No worries though, rain to me is an open invitation to stay inside and get crafty, so that’s exactly what I did. Today I’m joining as a part of the May 2014 new releases for JustRite Papercraft, and I’m using Butterflies Cling Stamps. 
For my card I started with a 5-1/2″ x 7-1/2″ card base and built it up using Spellbinders Decorative Labels Eight, Spellbinders Gold Majesty Circles, Spellbinders Heirloom Legacy and finally, Standard Circles LG and Standard Circles SM. I ran my ribbon through the slots on the small Heirloom Legacy piece and then decided to use two pieces of ribbon, criss crossed :-)

Hiya friends! I thought I would bring some color into the world today. I came upon a pearlescent pad of paper in my stash and combined several colors with a stunning pattern from K & Company. It was a wonderful palette to use the new JustRite Stitched Circles Background. I used it in a subtle way to add texture to my design paper. Because the design on the stamp is so airy, this will be a fabulous one to layer over top of so many things with not too much risk of it becoming busy. Digging through my stash, I found a silver pearl embossing powder from a long gone stamp company – but I’m sure someone makes an up to date version.
Along with the gorgeous medallion stamp from the Congrats Vintage Labels Three and Seven Set , there are quite a few large sentiments – I picked ‘congrats”. The medallion is cut using Spellbinders Labels Thirty Two and the sentiment is stamped on Vintage Labels Seven.
You Can Make This Card Too: Start out with a cream hinged card base sized 6″ x 7-1/2″. Here are the rest of the layers from the bottom up. Pumpkin panel cut to 5-3/8″ x 6-5/8″ – adhere to card base using foam tape. Matted panel from gold cut to 4-7/8″ x 6-1/8″ and stamped design paper cut to 4-3/4″ x 6″. Add lace and satin ribbon. Using largest die cut from Labels Thirty Two, stamp and heat emboss medallion – adhere to base using foam tape. Add die cut layer using Vintage Labels Seven stamped with sentiment – adhere to base using foam tape. Add bow in lower left of Labels Thirty two die. Embellish with pearls and add stick pin.

Have a spectacular weekend dear friends! Find some time to nourish yourself creatively – you deserve it!!
Hi there sweet friends! Today I’m blogging both here and on the Waltzingmouse Design Team blog. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to make something totally fun for Easter. Yes, it involves pink, yes it involves bunnies, yes it involves candy….my work is done! So here on my blog I’m showing the card I made for my ensemble. I say ensemble because I made something really sweet and easy to match the card. That something (and pattern) is over on the Waltzingmouse Stamps Design Team Blog – for the specific post, click HERE.
So for my card I stacked die templates like crazy. The bottom layer of dies is Spellbinders A2 Divine Eloquence and on top of that I stacked Spellbinders A2 Tranquil Moments. I’m using the same speckled design paper and pink ruffled ribbon as for my matching item. The card uses one of my favorite Waltzingmouse Stamps sets called A Good Egg. The egg shape and banner were cut out using Waltzingmouse Cut Files in A Good Egg Bundle – all the egg shapes are in the stamp set so you can fussy cut too!
Thanks so much for stopping by . . . don’t forget to pop over to Waltzingmouse Team Talk Blog. While you’re over there don’t forget to download the free pattern with instructions so you can make your own :-)
