Your Smile

Hello friends,  welcome and thanks for stopping by.  I hope you are enjoying your weekend.  After a very cold start this morning we have a beautiful sunny afternoon happening - my DH and son have been busy working in the garden - extending Chicken Coops and trimming trees, along with building compost bins - and I have to say it is looking great - me...I have been inside getting some things done and now it is time to share a card...

I do love this inspirational sentiment - from Quick Quotes Scrapbook Company.  It has been adhered to teal card stock and some lace from my stash added below the sentiment.  This has been popped up onto a pre-cut card front that has been cut/embossed using  Spellbinders Nestabilities Scored and Pierced Rectangles Etched Dies and the Platinum Die Cutting Machine and popped up onto a slightly larger pre-cut A-Frame white card base using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L E-Z Adhesive Runner Ultra.

Little Birdie Crafts flowers have been glued along the top of the sentiment panel and some die cut leaves from my stash added. I have finished off by adding some faux stitching around the Scored and Pierced Rectangles Etched Dies.

Simply Just for You

Hello friends, welcome and thanks so much for stopping by.  Today I have a simple and elegant card to share with you created using ta sentiment from Quick Quotes Scrapbook Company as the focal point.

This has been layered into patterned paper created using two different Kaisercraft patterned papers that have been cut/embossed using the largest die from the Spellbinders A2 Curved Matting Basics A Card Creator Etched Dies and the Platinum Die Cutting Machine and adhered to a slightly larger pre-cut white card base. 

A thin strip of patterned paper has been adhered either side of the sentiment using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L E-Z Adhesive Runner Ultra . A black double seam binding bow has been glued to the left side of the sentiment and a mulberry paper rose glued to the knot.

Want2Scap Beautiful Bling Borders has been trimmed and added above the sentiment panel and 20 Count Red Pearls have been adhered along the Beautiful Bling Border and below the sentiment panel.
