Use What You Got!

The other day I got another Sale-A-Bration set, Feeling Sentimental, and I couldn't wait to use it! So the set had been sitting on my craft table, and I decided to just use whatever stuff I had on my table to create my card. I had been working on a project with the Tea for Two DSP so that's what I used! So maybe you can call me lazy, but I think it was sort of resourceful using up all my scrap pieces!

By the way, I wasn't going to get this Feeling Sentimental set, but - Wow! It's an awesome set for masculine and vintage cards! I caved, but glad I did! And heck, it was FREE!!  

Have you made your Sale-A-Bration wish list yet?!

Field Flowers Thanks

I needed a quick thank you card last night and this is what I made - super quick! I've seen a few samples with the Hello, Doily background stamp used behind these flowers - and I just love it! And I've had the Field Flowers set for a few months, and this is the first that I've used it. One of those 'have to have' sets, and then I neglected it! But now that I've broken it in, I know I'll be using it more! And I do love it - So easy to stamp with, and such an elegant look.

Thanks for stopping by,

More Magnificient Mocha Morning!

This card was a 'sorta' copy from a card I saw on the boards at Convention. It was done pretty much the same, just a different saying in the middle (which I didn't have). And I added a little Polka Dot Embossing Folder texture to mine!

But, once again, I used the Mocha Morning Specialty papers - I just love this Crumb Cake piece with the black flocking on it, it's just so striking!

Here's a cool way to put a bow around your card! I tied the bow first. Then I laid that on the corner, and put the tails around to cover the opposite corner - and stuck it all down on the back sides!

And here's a full picture again. You can see how I made the base of the card a 4 1//4" X 5 1/2" piece of black card stock. And the actual card part that opens is a smidge smaller and glued onto the 1/4 sheet of black. I did add a piece of Polka Dot Embossed Crumb on top of the card for some added texture too!

Oh, and the 'thanks' comes from the new Kindness Matters stamp set.
