Soft Valentine's Card

Hi, I did tell you how much I love this Smooth Sailing Paper from Lasting Impressions. Every time I go to make a card I seem to be picking it up. Here is a pretty simple Valentine's card. I stamped the greeting from a company no longer around
(Come Clean Designs) with Color Box French Blue chalk ink. I used L9695 and L9064 templates by Lasting Impressions (Hearts) and mounted them on a piece of white stock embossed with my Cuttlebug Swiss dot folder.

Thanks for stopping by, stay warm temperatures are in the negative numbers here ...brrrr

Valentine Box

Good Morning today my share is a cute little Valentine's box I made. I covered a saved heart shaped box with some "Guava Dot" Lasting Impressions paper then sanded the edges. I added a band of paper from We R Memory Keepers "White Out" collection to the top. I cut out a giant heart from chipboard , covered it with same paper. After stamping this cutie from MFT and
coloring it to match I added some lace that I picked up at a garage sale for a nostalgic look to finish it off. All that is missing is some homemade yummies to fill it:)


Thanks for stopping by, enjoy your day!

Bee Happy Sunday

Good Morning, happy Sunday! You can see I am getting a bit better on getting back to blogging. Today's card is one I made for a recent card swap which had a required theme of starting with the letter "B". This one worked out perfectly. I finally got to play with a template I have had for sometime but never used. The paper and templates are from Lasting Impressions (L1024 & S846). For the honeycomb panel I used a Fiskers embossing plate. The saying which worked out perfectly is an old discontinued stamp by "My Sentiments Exactly" . It is mounted to one of my favorite Spellbinders die the lacey square. The ribbon is from Michaels and button is from my stash.

Bee happy and thanks for stopping by. Enjoy your day.

Happy Heart Day

Today I started off to make a Birthday card for my SIL and instead ended up making this quick card.

I have been playing around with some new paper that I fell in love with. This paper is from Lasting Impressions and called Smooth Sailing. I just love the softness of it and have made several cards already from it. The paper is not new but it is the first time I have had any to play with. I paired it up with some scraps of matching blue card stock by DCWV. I finished the card off using L9456 template and a rub-on both by Lasting Impressions. Cute and QUICK!


I hope I have inspired you today.

I Luv U

Good evening tonight my share is a card I made for a dry embossing groups challenge. The template is from Lasting Impressions "L9695" . I paired it up with a scrap piece of card stock from My Mind's eye. I used the largest lacy square die from Spellbinders and cut it to fit card border.

Thanks for dropping by, enjoy your evening.
