So Sweet Cherry Card

Hello everybody,

I hope this post finds you well and safe.
I would like to share with you my latest make:

I used turquoise cardstock as my base and added embroidered wide ribbon on top of it.

I cut out doily-like circles and attached cherry die cuts. I really like how the cherries turned out using ultra thick embossing enamel.

I made some tiny bows to add to cherry tops and sentiment which was heat embossed.

Lilacs Card

Hello everyone,

I would like to share with you my latest make. I am so very proud of this card, and I think it is so far the best one I have made. :)

For the background, I used a wood grain patterned paper. I created a Hello sign using Cricut to cut out the hearts and then I stamped them with Shaded Lilac distress ink. The hears were glued onto a baker's twine.

The Lilacs were made using Cricut to cut out bunch of tiny flowers, which I then shaped and added liquid pearl centers. I glued the tiny flowers to wooden skewer sticks. I hand cut grass blades.

I created the flowers basket using some chipboard strips that I glued on heavy cardstock shaped into a basket. Then I painted everything with gray paint and dry brushed some purple paint.

I finished the basked with some One Step Crackle to give it that nice rustic look and added a little purple bow. :)

Here is one more look at the finished card and the keepsake box that it comes with....

Vintage Sewing Themed Card

Hello everyone,

I hope this post finds you well and safe.
I would like to share with you my latest make:

I used rustic looking striped cardstock for the base. I made the frame by layering Cricut cutouts and painting everything with iridescent vintage gold paint. Then I added some gold liquid pearls to finish the frame.

The dress form image is from a Vintage style paper stack as well as the measuring tape.

I added some hand made flowers, seam binding ribbon bow in two tones of golden color, some lace ribbon and a little spool.

Home Sweet Home

Hello all,

I haven't done much blog posting in last couple years. However, here I am with a card suitable for current situation in the world and everyone being asked to stay home to stop the spread of Coronavirus.
I hope that the post finds you safe and in good health!

Here is my card:

I created the background panel using home made texture paste,stencil and pink shimmering mist. The window is a Spellbinders die and the "bricks" around the window are cut out of egg carton.

I added some dried Baby's Breath flowers and hand made roses. The roses are Spellbinders Rose die.

Little angel in the window was made using a silicone mould I bought on Etsy.
