Lucky Me to Have A Friend Like YOU!

Thanks for stopping by! Today I'm counting my blessings and sending a little love to a dear friend. The best friends are the ones that love you for who you are - faults and all. Good friends lift your soul and warm your heart. I don't ever want to take that for granted!
  

My card starts with a light lavender panel of cardstock adhered to my card base. I always trim the colored panel slightly smaller than the card base so that no color peeks around the outside edge of the card. The panel is topped with the Leaf Lattice Panel cut from white card stock.

I added some solid purple twine to the card and then attached the Grid Stitched Tag with adhesive foam tape. I left an empty space - free from foam - under the tag to allow the twine to travel underneath smoothly.

I embellished the tag with images from the Adorned Egg stamp set. The florals in this set are beautiful all year round. The sentiment is from Sentimental Gems. The mixed font sentiments will make you smile!

I hope this card leaves you thinking of your own special friend and you find yourself smiling!  I'm linking up to We Love Stamping where this time they're looking for "Anything Goes" with Wings Optional!

Victorian Elegance Birthday

Wow this month has gone fast! I think for me that's mostly because I was sick for half of it. I'm anxious to get back to normal and live again! I'm ready to MAKE IT ALL!!

Today I'm playing along with Daring Cardmakers where this time they want you to add a frame. This card was made with the NEW Waffle Flower Elegant Frames die. This set actually includes THREE dies.. the outer ornate frame, the inner oval frame and the pretty cameo. The double frames are great together or separate.

I inked the pretty cameo with Copic Markers. I debated adding a pearl earring.. they wound up on the little butterflies.

I haven't made a bow in a while, but I guess it's like riding a bike.. it all comes back to you. This pretty Victorian elegant card was just screaming for a bow!

The little butterflies are from the NEW Wax Seals die, and the sentiment is from the Elegant Sentiments set.

I hope you have a great day. Even if your house bound because it's winter and so darn cold .. go look out the window! Sometimes just looking outside can lift your soul!

Adornment Poppy Birthday

Hi and thanks for stopping by! I hope you're having a great day! Have you seen the new release in the store? I'm smitten with the new Adornment Poppy!

Today I'm sending you some sunshine with this bright floral birthday card that looks fussy but was so easy to make!

I started with the NEW Flora plate cut in ombre yellow orange cardstock and adhered them together. I use a large acrylic block to hold them in place as the glue sets. This set is so pretty I wanted to show you each of the plates. I think the individual layers - particularly the Layer C make beautiful stand alone dies.

Next I assembled the poppy and lots of leaves in different shades of green. This set includes BOTH a detailed die as well as a background die for the leaves and flower.

I used the Contempo Greetings set to create the Happy Birthday Sentiment. I think this set is clever because the dies matches the Contempo Christmas set.

I adhered the pretty floral with adhesive foam tape. Raising the flower allowed me to tuck the leaves under the flower and add dimension.

Of course I didn't want to cover that pretty background so a simple (and small) sentiment seemed best. A few Memory Box Fairy Drops add a little shine like dew drops.

I hope this card find you smiling! Thanks for stopping by and have a fantastic day!

Spellbinders January 2022 Card Making Kit

Have you tried one of the Spellbinders club kits yet? I've been getting the small die of the month for a few years now and I love it. Every month for $15 I receive a die - this month its a full size A2 panel. I never know what I'm going to get and am rarely disappointed. I've been playing with the Card Kit for a few years too. Here's a peek at the January 2022 Card Making Club Kit.

The kit is really a great assortment of products. Here's a peek at this month's kit. Card kit's have come a long way and they just keep getting better. It's awesome getting a package delivered straight to my front door every month with product chosen to coordinate.

The Spellbinders Card Kit includes EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING you need to make cards including a 6" pad of paper, card stock, folded card bases and envelopes, stickers, die cut images, a stamp set and even a die set that you'll have long after everything else is gong. This kit even includes a roll of double sided tape and a square of foam adhesive to "pop" your images.

I really like that once I'm done making with the kit I still have a die and stamp set that I can add to my collection and reach for any time I want. The die this time is a banner (see above) with layers and two different sentiments.

This kit is really beautiful - there's lots of florals and glitter / foil accents. You'll find a little cute in the one too - check out the little pup with the heart eyes!

I mean florals and hearts and tons of gold.. how can you go wrong? The colors are really soft pastel and I wish I could let you see these in person.. the photos don't capture them as well as I would like. They're really gorgeous!

The Spellbinders Card Making Kit is $38.50 a month and that includes shipping in the US. You can subscribe and receive a surprise in the mail every month, or you can wait until the first of the month when the kit is revealed. I haven't been disappointed yet.
