I have used the Spellbinders Bitty Blossoms, Parisian Accents, Foliage and Grommet Tags Shapeabilities, along with the newly released Exquisite Circles Nestabilities.

Filigree Cross

It was 'Love at First Sight' for me when I saw the Spellbinders Crosses Two  Shapeabilities

so much detail and gorgeous filigree - it was definitely 'calling my name,' especially when I am creating Easter cards at the moment.

I have layered it onto the Spellbinders Floral Ovals Nestibilities - can you tell I am loving this new Die too - the paper piercing around the oval is such a gorgeous touch.

The sentiment is computer generated and has been cut using the Fancy Tags Shapeabilities.  All of my Dies have been cut using the Spellbinders Grand Calibur® Machine - it certainly makes it easier because you can cut so many Dies at once!  The patterned paper has been embossed using the 'B' sandwich from the Enchanted M-bossabilities Embossing Folder

One again another quick card, but not lacking any details, thanks to my lovely Spellbinders Die Templates - what did I ever do without them? LOL!

SSIC LOC Because of You

Stampin Sisters in Christ always comes around so quickly and that is a good thing!  I always love to read the inspiration that is shared from the Word of God.  This weeks devotional is from Rebekka who has chosen the scripture:

 Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him

Job 13:15

Rebekka has challenged us to make a card of praise,using music, stamp, or design paper or just the word praise

For this challenge I have created a tag usinga sentiment from the new Layers of Color Sweet Silhouettes clear art stamp.

I have used the Spellbinders Grand Calibur to cut out the sentiment using the Labels Eighteen Nestibilitie, using the Die as a mask.

The flower has been created using some Stampin' Up DP (this is from my scraps pile) and circle punches, the leaves from the Spellbinders Foliage Die

The divine padlock is the Spellbinders Timeless Heritage Die along with the Floral Doily Accents Border and the music is from and old Hymnal sheet, the DP is recycled backing from a Prima Flower packet - too good to waste!

This card is for the following challenges:

Challenge Up Your Life - Music

Fabulous Friday - die cuts

Our Craft Lounge - thankful

 Aud Sentiments Challenge - Thank you OR Thanksgiving 

Do You Stack Up? - Inspiration Picture* Splash of Blue

LOC Corrugated Flower

One of my favourite sets by Layers of Color is the Sent With Love art stamp set.

There is a sentiment for so many occasions, I seem to be forever reaching for it

The background is embossed with the Tim Holtz Postcard embossing folder

and the flower is created using hand cut circles made from corrugated card stock, add a little bit of inking around the edges and a button in the centre, finishing with some leaves from the Spellbinders Foliage Die using the Grand Calibur

Tuck in a sentiment from the Sent With Love art stamp set

and it is complete - full of texture and dimension - just how I like it!!
