You Mean The World To Me

I totally love how this card turned out.  It was quick to make, which is my favorite kind of card to make!

I finally got to play with stamps again for the first time in over a month!  We had a crafty gathering on Saturday with most of the DT and I got to play with the Concord & 9th Map Love Stamp Set and a Hero Arts Ombre ink pad.  I added some beautiful recollections (Michaels) watercolor washi to the bottom of the card.

May Guest Designer Lisa Lara, Take 2!

Hi, its Lisa Lara, with my last Guest Designer post.

It has been an honor to GD for The Heart Desires this month, thank you Tonya and Toni! 

I have more plaid for you today. 

Oh my golly doesn't this Perfectly Plaid paper just make you want to smile?!

And  then paired with these adorable go cups from the Love You A Latte set by Lawn Fawn...oh my!

Here is a side view to show that I put a strip of foam tape down the middle on the back of each of these cutie cups and bent the sides a bit to get a rounded effect.

Love You A Latte

Nauti-cool!

Oh, my!  Did you see my recent nautical card?  I'm using a Carta Bella anchors embossing folder that's coming soon to the shop!  Can't wait until the folder arrives?  Pick up a Carta Bella anchors stencil instead!  Not only can you mask and web emboss with a stencil, you can also dry emboss.  Check out Shari Carroll's Hero Arts video about it (about 40 seconds in).  Way cool!

 

Hello, Sunshine!

Hello!  I am so excited to share this card with you!!!!!  I love the Lawn Fawn plaid!  I love the amazing texture of the embossing folder (I wish you could feel it!!)!  And I love that the card is edgy but yet not TOO edgy.  Squeeeeeee!  I've listed the items I used that are available in the shop below.  If you'd like to read more about how I made the card and the other ingredients, stop on by my blog.

Textured Birthday Greetings

I made this card for a friend's birthday (Happy Birthday, Vicki!) and couldn't resist using the We R Memory Keepers embossing folder that's available in the shop.  It has an amazing texture that pairs so perfectly with just about everything.  Woo hoo!  I'm also glad that the shop has the Tim Holtz watercolor paper that I love so much.  It's the whitest WC paper I've found and works like a dream with the Zigs I used here.
