The Kindess

Can you believe it is already Sunday again? It is Simply Sunday and today I have a simple card that doesn't look so simple but it really was..hope that makes since. I started out cutting my white card stock to create a 6 x 6 card base, adhere my pattern paper Garden Party by Imaginisce to the card front with Beacon Adhesive Zip Dry. On white card stock I stamped my CL-02095 Kindness stamp from JustRite Stampers using CTMH Crystal Blue ink. I took my S5-026 Labels Twenty and S4-140 Petite Ovals Small die templates from Spellbinders and taped the die template over my stamped images to secure them in place and die cut them using my GC-001 Grand Calibur die cutting machine. I also too the largest die template in the Labels Twenty package and taped it to the front of my card front and embossed the Labels Twenty into my card front. I wanted to create an embossed images so that I could use it as a guide to place my Baby Pink Rhinestones from Want2Scrap To finish the card off I used golden yellow silk ribbon from Creative Impressions and tied a simple bow, added just a few baby Pink Rhinestones to the stamped image and there you have it, a Simply Sunday creation. Make sure to visit Heidi and Karen's blogs to see what they have created, until then have a wonderful day. Hugs Terre

Bling For All Season's.....Want2Scrap Style

I know what you all are thinking? Has she lost her mind doing Christmas in April? Well just like my title says Bling For All Season's, isn't this layout of my little Leahandra just darling all blinged out with Want2Scrap 2010 Black Pearl Swirls and did you notice the 12 x 12 Decorative Acrylic Sheet Style A from Want2Scrap? I painted this acrylic sheet with Americana White paint with a sponge, added just a touch of My Minds Eye pattern paper behind my photos and glitter letters along the side. I attached everything to my acrylic sheet with Beacon Adhesive Zip Dry.

The stamp set I used is from Waltzingmouse called Big Blooms Poinsettias and the Fancy Phrases is stamped inside the S4-235 Fancy Tags from Spellbinders, my leaves that I die cut out are part of the newly released dies from Spellbinders called S4-321 Nested Leaves.

Here is a side view of how beautiful the 2010 Black Pearl Swirls look next to the soft mauve of the poinsettia.

Thank you for stopping by my BLING For All Season's blog post.  Hugs Terre

Spring/Easter Blog Hop

Welcome to my Blog! Today is my first Blog Hop with a wonderful group of talented designers from Designer Crafts Blog Connection. You will find a badge on my sidebar that will able you to click forward or click backwards to see what the next crafty creation will be waiting for your viewing pleasure.

The Theme today is Spring/Easter so I created this colorful Vintage Easter card, that I just absolutely love.

I started by using my S5-022 Label Eight die template from Spellbinders and die cut my Easter creative scrap from Crafty Secrets. While I was at it I used my GC-001 Grand Calibur to die cut the Labels Eight out of thin chipboard to create a frame.

I took a second creative scrap and hand trimmed the tulip, duck and little girls outfit to pop up using foam squares to add dimension to my card. I stamped my Easter Egg stamps called Nestie Eggs from Waltzingmouse (love them) using colored ink, I then die cut the Easter Eggs out using the Nested Egg die template from Spellbinders. I then added White Finesse Swirls to the smallest egg, Amber Rhinestones to the middle size egg and Baby Blue Rhinestones to the large egg, don't they look amazing with the Want2Scrap bling.

I tied assorted ribbon from Creative Impressions to the frame and off white button to the bottom of the frame. I machines stitched the pink loop ribbon trim to lower part of my card and then I assembled the pieces using Beacon Adhesive Zip Dry. Remember sanding and inking your pieces give your creations that vintage worn look. Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have been inspired to go create your own Vintage Easter Card. Hugs Terre
