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 - Dandelion Wishes Tin Anniversary

 Hello and welcome back! Today's card is another card for a 10th (tin) anniversary.

I found some Galvanized Metallic Paper in my stash and embossed it with the Tin Tile embossing folder to create the tin ceiling look. I added the layer of Coastal Cabana and the Bermuda Bay accents to mimic the colors from my friends' wedding 10 years ago.

The sequin trim adds just the right amount of bling.

This design was inspired by the sketch challenge at Paper Craft Crew.

More October Cards

Hello and welcome back! Today I want to share some of the other cards I've made this month that weren't entered in challenges. Some are my own design, while others have been CASEd from Pinterest or from Stampin' Up! catalogs. 

These first two cards are for wedding anniversaries. For friends celebrating their 40th, which is the ruby anniversary, I came up with the color combination using the retired In Color Berry Burst. I changed out the sentiment on the front for other anniversaries.

This card was CASEd from the Annual Catalog and was made for a cousin who just lost her dog. I colored the dog to match hers and this card is a full-sized one, while the one in the catalog was smaller.

These two cards were made for friends who have just moved into new homes. I used the retired Wood Textures DSP for the doors, matching the color to the actual homes.

This card for October birthdays was also CASEd from the Annual Catalog. The only thing I changed was the ribbon and the pearls (the original used the Butterfly Gems, which I don't have yet).

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!
