♥ Thinking of You ♥

Hi there! It's a lovely day here. Nice, cooler temps for once! I love it! I love Fall. We are getting ready to take the kids to the farm and go on the hay ride out to the pumpkin patch. You can never have enough pumpkins!! Tomorrow, my oldest son and I are going to the NASCAR race in Dover, Delaware. Should be fun! We hope Martin Truex wins! He's a Jersey boy! ;)

 I wanted to stop in today with a sweet card I made with some fabulous dies from Amazing Paper Grace by Spellbinders. I used the Gossamer Knot Ensemble Etched Dies. Such a pretty design! I cut them out with some white cardstock and then using the included Insert Frame Dies, I die cut the panels to place behind the knot panels.

I also used the Hemstitch Rectangles Etched Dies as well. They make the perfect borders for cards! The flowers and butterflies are by Recollections. (Michaels) 

Hope you enjoy your weekend!!

♥ Simon Says...Anything Goes ♥

Hello there. We are starting a brand new challenge today at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog! It's every one's favorite challenge...ANYTHING GOES!

The Simon Says DT are showcasing products by Stampendous! I am using the Our Doorstep Cling Stamp for my card. I colored in the image softly with some Gelatos and then added some chunky glitter to it.

I kept my card simple due to the fact the image is large and so pretty. I didn't want to take away from it. So I just added some May Arts Natural Twine and a couple of pearls.

And don't forget, the super sweet and generous Heidi will give the random winner of this challenge a $50 Credit Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Superstore! Good luck everyone!

♥ Ornate Frame Card ~ Alice in Wonderland Style ♥

Happy Sunday to you! I'm stopping in today with a fun card I made with some amazing dies by Becca Feeken and her Amazing Paper Grace line of dies by Spellbinders. I am using the beautiful Victoriana Crest Etched Dies for my card. I went a Lot darker than I normally do! It kind of reminds me of Alice in Wonderland. LOL

I used the larger dies in the set to make the base for my card. I love die cut edged cards. They are so elegant, ornate and different. I then used the rest of the dies in the set to build up the card. I finished it with a stamped sentiment from the Graceful Tiny Tag Stamp and Die Set.

Hope you have a wonderful week!

♥ Simon Says...Pop It Up! ♥

Hello! Happy Wednesday to you! We are starting a brand new challenge today at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog! This week we want you to...POP IT UP!!

The Simon Says DT are showcasing products by Lawn Fawn this week! For my card, I am using the super fun Gift Card Pop-Up Lawn Cuts Die. Such a fun way to give someone a gift card inside of a card.

After cutting out the die and folding on the marks, just adhere over the center crease on the inside of the card. Easy peasy and so cute!

I am also using the Fall Tiny Tags Lawn Cuts as well as the Tiny Tag Sayings Clear Stamp Set by Lawn Fawn. The papers I used are from the Amber Moon 8x8 Collection Kit by Prima. I also used some burlap trim, May Arts Natural Twine and white pearls.

And don't forget, the super sweet and generous Heidi will give the random winner of this challenge a $50 Credit Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Superstore! Good luck everyone!

♥ Sweet and Shabby Baby Cards ♥

Hello there! Stopping in today with some sweet little baby cards I made with the beautiful Spellbinders Graceful Scallops Border Dies by Amazing Paper Grace. Such a wonderful set to work with! I used the scallop die with the eyelet cut-outs to form the bottom edge of the cards.

I formed the next 2 layers with the Scalloped Edge Die.

Next, I used the Flower Eyelets Dies to form a sweet border for the top of the cards.

The sweet papers and embellishments are by Prima and are from the Heaven Sent Line. 

You can check out all of Becca's Amazing Dies HERE!

Hope you have a great weekend!!
