I have two cards to share with you today! I used the Flowering Foils Designer Series Paper along with sponge daubers to create these beautiful cards. Here is the first one - for this one I used the paper as a background piece.
I colored the Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon with the Light Night of Navy Stampin' Blends Marker - it was a pretty close match to the Blueberry Bushel!
For the second card, I fussy cut the flowers out of the paper. This takes a little bit longer, but isn't too hard when you're using Paper Snips.
I've used the Sending You Thoughts stamp set on both cards. This stamp set and the Flowering Foils paper are both free choices when you spend $50 during Sale-a-bration!
Which card do you like better? I love the Blueberry Bushel, but I think lots of colors would look great on these flowers!

I have a Christmas card to share with you today! When I started working with the Stitched Lace Dies, I had the idea to use them for a Christmas card. Here's what my idea turned into:
To created the stitched look on the front of your card, cut your card base 4 1/4 x 11". I always score my card bases, but you can also fold it in half. Just make sure to have that line so that you know where to line up the die. Place the large stitched lace die on top of your card front, lining it up with your score or fold line. Five seems to be the magic number on my die cutting machine for running this die through and having it come out pretty easily. Then I used the Take Your Pick Die Brush Tip again, and most of the little pieces came out. Next, line up the edge die, and run through your die cutting machine. I used a little washi tape to hold it in the right place. You can layer cardstock or DSP underneath - cut to 5 1/2 x 4 1/4" and attach with Multipurpose Glue or the Fine Tip Glue Pen.
Today I am sharing one of the swap cards I made for a Holiday Catalog swap I was involved in recently. I used two more patterns from the Come to Gather DSP. I just love these polka dots!
Notice the sequins? I pulled the Pretty Peacock sequins out of the Woven Threads Sequins - these are my go-to embellishment - they are just so pretty!
The punch I used for the sentiment is called the Story Label Punch. It's a great staple to have in your collection. I also used the Gather Together Bundle - I'll be featuring this soon!
