You're Not Alone Card

This card is my version of the card idea that is in the Seasonal Expressions catalog from Close To My Heart.  

In this catalog you can purchase the  Here For You Workshops Your Way Cardmaking Kit that includes the stamp set you see here as well as  the patterned paper, cardstock, shimmer trim, embellishments and card bases and envelopes to make 12 cards.  

On my card I used different paper and "tweaked" the pattern a bit from the one in the catalog. 

 Instead of using the paper included in the kit,  I used the paper from the Whimsey Fundamentals Paper Pack.   

I used Smoothie, Sweet leaf and Pixie ink colors as well as a piece of Sweet leaf cardstock. 
 Using  a piece of Smoothie Cardstock I cut the heart out with the Thin Cuts -Basic Hearts Die Set.  
I embossed the heart with the Wood Slats Embossing Folder and attached to the card. 

 I love the sentiments from this stamp set and I enjoyed using it on this card. It always nice to have a card like this to share!  Until next time, have a great day!  Hugs!

Fun Birthday Card

Hi there!  This is a fun card using different individual stamps from three awesome stamp sets:

Way To Go Stamp Set for the cute banners.
Birthday Sparkles Stamp Set for the Birthday Greeting.
Happy For You Stamp Set for the balloons. 

I used a number of pretty stamp pad colors:

Emerald, Pansy, Tangerine, Blossom and Raspberry for the banners.  I also used the Pansy and Tangerine pigment inks from the  Adventure Mini Pigment Inks Set  for the balloons.  I  used the Clear Embossing Powder along with the pigment ink on the balloons to make them shine.

I used the  Stitch Guide along with the Foam Mat to protect my work surface to make the stitching around the card.

Finished the card by adding a few Bitty Sparkles to  make it even more festive! 

 Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a awesome day!

Valentine Card

Hello!

I am back!  I have been making loads of cards lately but I have taken a break from taking pictures and posting.  So here I am again with the first card of 2017!  

This card is using the  Adore You Stamp Set from Close To My Heart.   This set is a stamp of the month set available for only the month of January!  



I used the cute dotted Kraft paper from the Rustic Home Paper Packet. I used the Small Round Waterbrush to pick up the colors from the Ruby, Sapphire, Fern and Saffron Stamp pads.  I also used a piece of Ruby Cardstock that I ran through the Confetti Embossing Folder.  Because this cardstock is white core I sanded the surface to make the dots pop!

Thats for stopping by!  Hope you have a great day!  Hugs!
