So Thankful

Here is a quick and easy fun card made with the set 'Sew Thankful'.  The image is paper pieced with Rustic Chic paper with the top and bottom colored with my Copic Markers.  It is on two different Spellbinders dies, Labels 5 and 20 in two different sizes .... for the image and the words.  I scored the left side five times, 1/8th inch apart using my Scor-buddy, for texture.  This is an example of how design leads to new ideas ..... it needed something else so I stamped the thread at the bottom and colored it but forgot that with Copics it shows on the other side.  So ......

the inside became a pocket for a giftcard, money or check!  I added more of the Rustic Chic paper with a border of the blue CS with buttons stamped on it.  Mistakes lead to creative creations!

Yesterday I was able to do a lot of cleaning out in my studio getting ready to have movers come and move my hutch.  When it is out of my stamping room I will be able to put in a die cut area!!  I am really looking forward to that.  Hopefully it will be started the end of next week.  Hope you all have a great day!

Beautiful Lace

This is such a beautiful set!!  I used 'Beautiful Lace' for this card with a scored background.  The large doily was stamped for the background and then the smaller one I used to frame the image from 'Sew Thankful'.  I used two different sizes of scalloped circle punches for the main image and colored it with my Copic markers.  The flower was made with the new McGill punch called Florlano.  It is so easy to use and makes a great 3D flower quickly .... punch two or three, pinch the petals, layer it, and add a center!  I added a button with a bow on the top for the center on this card.

I used the words from the set 'Darling' for the front and inside and repeated the button theme with stamped buttons on the inside and on the envelope.  Hope you are having a great day!!
