Just for You

I am sharing a card with you I made a couple months ago

but never posted it. 

I was a fun simple card to make and I even made it

without following a sketch ha ha ha.

I used stamps that came in the Stamp of Approval box that was leased in June.

The collection was called Naturally Inspired and I love the stamps that same in there.

The cross hatch stamp made a fun simple background.  The feathers I stamped

in 3 different colors using Catherine Pooler Inks and then fussy cut them out.

I used a Fiskars punch to cut along the right edge of the card then wrapped some

bakers twine around it and popped the top layer.

This card was simple and fun to make, maybe I will try and do it in

a Christmas theme.  Will keep you posted.

Thanks for stopping to take a peek, have a great day.

Thinking of You

Hi, I have a card to share with you I made a few weeks ago

but have not had a chance to sit down and type up a blog post for it.

I had read about a technique called Wax Paper Embossing resist.

As soon I saw it I had to give it a try and I had a lot of fun and

made several different pieces to have on had to use for card

backgrounds.   There are several tutorials and videos out there but

HERE is the one I followed.

A few weeks ago Unity Stamps had a challenge using feathers

and/or a set of colors, well I pulled out this piece of wax resist paper

I made and it was perfect for the challenge. 

I stamped the feather stamp from the Feather Soft Love Unity stamp set using Memento Black Ink.  Matted it on a few coordinating colors and added some sequins.  I think it looks so pretty.

Thanks for stopping to take a peak, see you soon with another post.

Dream Catcher

Hi!  I have always loved 

dream catchers so when I was doing a challenge

the photo inspiration was feathers I thought 

this would be perfect.

The dream catcher is a sticker from Paper Studio La Petites.

I created the background paper by stamping with a Versamark ink pad using

my CTMH feather stamps then heat embossed with clear.  I love this

look and always forget about using it.

I embossed the left panel with a Southwest Cuttlebug folder.

I have not added a sentiment yet cause not sure what I will use it for.

It would make a great male card or an encouragement to 

follow your dreams.  

Thanks for taking a peak today at my blog, hope

you have a great day.
