So Thankful...

Hi everyone! Today, I've created a fancy shaped card using Spellbinders® Paper Arts Heirloom Oval as a base. My pretty rose uses "A Gilded Life" Garden Blooms and I used several layers of blooms with ink shading in the center of each one. These dies are some of the newest releases by Spellbinders, and I can't wait to show you more creations in the coming weeks! ~ Enjoy!

Birthday Wishes...

Hi everyone! Today, I've created a quick yet pretty card using another new set of die templates from Spellbinders® Paper Arts. This delightfully intricate border die is called "Anne Border Strip" and I just love the edge on it! I paired it with a sentiment from JustRite Papercraft on a tag from the Labels Forty Decorative Accents die set, and backed it with a gorgeous paper from Maja Designs. Finish it off with silk ribbon and some pearls, and an elegant card is made! ~ Enjoy!

Tutorial Tuesday...

Hi everyone! For JustRite Papercraft's Tutorial Tuesday, I show you new ways to use their fabulous background stamps with Rangers Alcohol Inks and Blending Solution. This time, I create a project using Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel as an embossing powder with the large stamps. If you like a lot of texture with your backgrounds, this technique is perfect for that result. Create endless, one-of-a-kind backgrounds that complement their sentiment and image stamps.

Time to Flourish...

Hi everyone! I just love it when I get a box full of goodies from The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store!

Sharon bundled up gorgeous colors of seam binding and silk ribbon samplers to go with them, and you can find all supplies at the store. Pair the papers and ribbons with Spellbinders Paper Arts dies and the cards practically make themselves!
