Hello Friends! Today, I'm sharing another card using the Spellbinders Glimmer Foil system. I think I'm lightweight addicted! LOL! I just used a small sentiment because I tried using another foiled frame, but on this black card stock you could really see the over foiling! So, I whipped up this card instead.



After I foiled the sentiment, I splattered some Brutus Monroe Aqua Pigment ink on the background and matted it onto some gold card stock. That beautiful die you ask? It's from Simon Says Stamp. It's called Etched Eucalyptus...Gorgeous! I definitely need to get this in the mail, otherwise I'm just going to sit and stare at it every day! 

So, we got our daughter a big girl bike for Christmas, so we're off to teach her how to ride it with no "stabilizers" as she says. Wish us luck! LOL!

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hugs,
Carol

Hello Friends! So, my wonderful hubby hooked me up with a Spellbinders Glimmer Foil system and a Spellbinders Platinum machine for my birthday last month. I'll be honest, I've been a little intimidated to to use it but I've been watching YouTube video after YouTube video to boost my confidence! LOL! Here's my first cards using it.




The foiling is so hard to capture in photos, but trust me it's a beautiful pink metallic foil and looks really pretty in person! I used foil plates from The Stamp Market for the hello and hi sentiments and that font is everything! I also used a great die from Simon Says Stamp, it's called Dial Phone and I am in love with it!! There's just something about rotary phones and typewriters...they must bring back happy memories because they sure do make me smile! 

Well, I certainly hope your week is off to a great start! Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hello Friends! I hope you had a very Merry Christmas! I had a wonderful time with my hubby and daughter. We opened gifts, played board games ate lots of food and just chilled. Since we stayed home it was very relaxing and no rushing around so although it was a BIG change from our normal plans, it actually felt okay being home and having a little down time.

So, today I'm sharing a cheerful card. Now that Christmas is over and hopefully the stress of the holiday has subsided, just sit back, SMILE and destress!





I used alpha dies and that sweet sunny stencil from Scrapbook.com along with their slimline cards. I love that they have slimline cards that are already cut and scored for you. I don't know about you, but I can never remember the size for slimline cards so having the cards ready to go is awesome for me! I also used the most beautiful paper pad from American Crafts + Paige Evans, it's called Go The Scenic Route. You will be seeing this patterned paper again and again because like I said, it's beautiful! 

Well, I don't know about you, but it's back to work for me tomorrow. But, at least it's a short week! I hope the rest of your day is a great one. Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hugs,
Carol

Hello Friends! We received our daughter's school pictures and they are as cute as can be! If you remember, I started adding her school pics to my Blush Memorydex so I wasted no time adding this one!




This little girl just lights up my craft room! I love having this Memorydex on my craft desk in full view so I can get a little sunshine whenever I need it! Well, I'm off to do some gift wrapping. I still can't believe that Christmas is literally around the corner!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello Friends! Living in South Florida, we really don't have what one would call winter. We have a few chilly days with lots of sunshine, but no snow. With that said, I kinda live vicariously through my craft supplies when it comes to winter themed cards. For this sweet hello card, I used one of my favorite dies from Scrapbook.com for the large snowflake image.



I ink blended the background using distress oxide inks, for me, the oxide inks blend like buttah! I also used the newest color, rustic wilderness which I am in love with! It is truly the perfect green! For my image I did a little gold heat embossing around the edge of my card front as well as the snowflake die cut. I also cut that cute hello sentiment with gold card stock. A few strategically placed sequins finished off the card. I'm pretty sure I'm going to send this card to my mom. She lives in Ohio and loves the snow so I think it will be perfect for her!

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hello Friend! Time is ticking down, only 5 days before Christmas! How did that happen? Well, I am happy to report that I got all of my Christmas cards out in time and I should have the last gift for Paige delivered tomorrow. Now, I just need to get to wrapping! LOL! 

Today, I have a festive and cheery Christmas card to share with you using exclusive products from Scrapbook.com.



I did a little ink blending on my background and stamped all those cute circle sentiments. I used a circle die from my stash to cut them out then added that great Merry Christmas die as my sentiment. I finished off the card with some cute snowflake sequins and one red rhinestone to dot my "i."

I hope you're having a great weekend and are checking off items from your list! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello Friends! Are you ready for Christmas? I'm totally NOT! Our house is decorated, we have lights outside but not one single present under the tree! I really need to get busy!!! 


So, I'm popping in today to share a slimline Christmas card. I'm pretty sure this is only the third slimline card I've ever made! The big reason for that is the measurements are not second nature like my normal A2 size cards. So to avoid searching for the measurements, I stick with what I know best. LOL! Well, Scrapbook.com has fixed that problem by having slimline card bases pre-cut and scored for you. Problem Solved!




I'm really loving how these cards turned out! Now, I understand why these slimline cards are so popular, they are really fun to make!

Well, I'm off to do some on-line shopping! Wish me luck! Thank you so much for stopping by!
