Slimline Healing Hugs

Hello and welcome back! I got my first big order from the new mini and SAB catalogs yesterday so I decided to use the Slim Card Dies to make a card for someone in my church choir who recently had surgery.

I used the die to cut the front panel from both Calypso Coral and Pale Papaya, then inlaid some of the pieces. Eventually, I'll make another card from what is left over using the Pale Papaya base. I think this will take some experimenting to feel comfortable with. Once the inner pieces are out, the remaining border piece is very floppy and hard to work with. I thought about using an adhesive sheet but decided against it. Maybe next time...

 I tied some Just Jade gingham ribbon around the card front before adding the sentiment but thought it still needed something more. Iridescent Rhinestones to the rescue! The largest ones fit perfectly.

The color combination for this card came from the challenge at The Paper Players and I'm also entering it in the Designer's Choice challenge at SUO Challenges.

Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!

Card of the Day - Parisian Anniversary

Hello and welcome back! Today's card is an anniversary card for a friend who studied in France when she was younger. I used the same stamp set to make a birthday card for her earlier this year. 

I die cut a circle from vellum and embossed it before layering it on the pink cardstock. To die cut the word, I added a bit of a Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet to the back of the cardstock before cutting it. Just peel off the backing and the word sticks perfectly!

I love the silver accents on this DSP!

The design for this card was inspired by the sketch at Just Add Ink.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!
