God Bless You!

Still working on using up my designer paper before it is retired 

I love this daisy paper from Splendid Autumn and I think that I have been hoarding it, but now I need to use it up. You may remember this other card using the same paper that I shared with you a couple days ago.

Pretty gorgeous, right??!!

Today's card I used a retired stamp set called TRUST GOD (there are just some stamp sets that I cannot get rid of). I stamped it using Copper Clay Ink onto Basic Beige card stock and die cut it out with a MIXED LABELS die.

The leaves were die cut from the SWEET WORDS & LABELS Dies that will be available on May 5th. I cut them with Darling Duckling card stock and sponged on some Pumpkin Pie ink, then added a double Linen Thread bow.

The base is Basic Beige cut 4-1/4" x 11" scored at 5-1/2", layer a 4" x 5-1/4" Copper Clay that has been embossed with a leafy embossing folder (retired) and a 3" x 5-1/4" Designer Paper.

It was inspired by Connie Babbert

Check out the new April Product of the Month!! You can get this for $5 when you place an online order of $75 (minimum) 

It's a really cool die called EYELET BLOOMS!!

And just remember for every online order you place over $20 you earn 10% rewards to use on a future purchase.

FOR EVERY ORDER PLACED IN APRIL, I WILL PUT YOUR NAME INTO A DRAWING AND THE WINNER WILL SUNSHINE & TULIPS BUNDLE - RIGHT NOW THE SUNSHINE & TULIPS DIE IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE BUT DON'T WORRY - I PURCHASED IT FOR YOU SO YOU WILL GET THE FULL BUNDLE, I JUST DON'T HAVE A PHOTO OF IT, BUT YOU CAN SEE HOW IT WORKS ON THE CARD FEATURED IN THIS PHOTO

Meandering Meadows

I have been playing with my MEANDERING MEADOWS Designer Paper and the MEANDERING GARDEN Stamp Set & Dies.

This first card is a returning favorite inspired by Susan Campfield

You can see my original post HERE

I love this die from the MEANDERING GARDENS DIES. It can be used for so many different things. You can find the stamp set and dies in the On Line Exclusive section of the On Line store. See all the links below.

The HAPPY BIRTHDAY comes from SIMPLY SAID stamp set. I needed a little bow, but there is no ribbon in Blueberry Bushel so I opted for the retired Starry Sky ribbon which matches perfectly fine.

This card and the next are made from 1-3/4" or 2" wide strips that were left over from another card that used the right side of the 6x6 designer paper.

I layered the dies from THOUGHTFUL EXPRESSIONS and added a "Happy Birthday" from UNBOUNDED LOVE and some GLOSSY DOTS & some ribbon.

This card uses the ALL THAT Dies, but the same "Happy Birthday" from UNBOUNDED LOVE and a little gold bird

This block style card was inspired by Beth

It's so cool that with one 6x6 piece of DSP you can get not only a pretty card but a book mark as well.

I changed up the designer print and therefore the color of the card base, etc.

The sentiment comes from a long ago retired stamp set called TRUST GOD

You can check out all of the measurements on Beth's blog.TWO NEW ADDITIONS TO THE KITS COLLECTION

Team Make & Take

At our team meetings we usually end our night with an easy Make & Take project/card

I really was wracking my brain to come up with something, but decided to revisit an oldie but goodie - the Book Binding Technique.

I made this card up to show them

I used the FREE Sunshine & Rainbows 6x6 paper. But I also used a past Paper Pumpkin stamp set for the sentiment and the sun. I thought they matched perfectly.

I offered two different patterns of paper so when I was demonstrating, I used the second pattern. We only assembled them and then I challenged them to decorate the front at home and then share their final product.

This is what I did with mine

I used some of the clouds from the Designer Paper using the CLOUD PUNCH, and I used a retired stamp set called TRUST GOD for my sentiment, also punched with the cloud punch.

I can't wait to see what they all come up with.

Sentimental Sunday

Last June my dear friend, Rachel, said her last good-byes to her mom after a six month battle with cancer.  Our friend Marla and I purchased a yellow rose bush for Rachel to plant in her yard as a memory for her mother.  Our prayer is that it will bring her joy each time this pretty rose bush blooms.

And this is the card that I made to go with it.

I used the same layout that I used for this card from a COME STAMP WITH ME TUESDAY CLASS, but I wanted it to coordinate with the yellow rose bush we bought Rachel.  I also used the NEW cotton ribbon!  SWEET RIBBON!

Thanks for stopping by!
