♥ You Have A Kind Heart ♥

Hi there friends! Stopping in with my last card for 2017! I can't wait to see what 2018 brings! :)

For this card, I am using some gorgeous dies by Amazing Paper Grace for Spellbinders.  Becca's dies are simply "To Die For"! I created a "gate" by cutting in half the large Frame Die from the Annabelle's Trousseau Layering Frame Medium Etched Dies Set and adhering to either side of my card front.

I then added one of the banners from the Vintage Pierced Banners Etched Dies Set to the center along with some ribbon, twine, flowers and pearls. The beautiful embossed papers are by Tonic and can be found HERE.

You can find all of Becca's FABULOUS dies HERE!

I hope you all have a Safe, Healthy and Happy New Year 2018!!

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas!! :) We have a brand new challenge starting today at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog! Anything Goes!!

The Simon Says DT are showcasing products by Lawn Fawn. For my card, I am using the Winter Scripty Sayings Clear Stamp Set as well as the super pretty Chunky Glitter. Love how much it sparkles!

The background paper is from the Metallics Foil Cardstock Stack by DCWV and the Music Sheet is by Tim Holtz from the Christmas Baseboards Paperie. The "bubbles" are Baubles Findings also by Tim Holtz. The clock was printed from online and the glass was hand drawn and cut out.

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!

We are getting closer!! Only 3 more sleeps until Santa comes! We are all ready for him to come down our chimney! I wanted to stop in today to say Merry Christmas to you all! I hope you all have a wonderful and blessed Christmas! Because of this blog and papercrafting, I have made so many wonderful friends over the years. I am so grateful for you all. With that in mind, here's a card I made with you in mind.

 
I am using the super beautiful Coralene's Chemise Layering Frame Large Etched Dies as my base. The flower and petal border is made using the Lilly Pearl Flat Fold Flower/Border Etched Dies. Both dies are from the super talented Amazing Paper Grace (Whom I'm so grateful is a part of my life!) for Spellbinders.

The die cut for the flower comes with pre-scored lines for folding the flower. They are easy peasy to make and look so pretty!!

 

Once again, have a lovely Christmas everyone!!

♥ Season's Greetings ♥

Just 7 more sleeps until Christmas!! I can't wait! Such a magical time of year! My kids cannot be any more excited. As much as they are excited about seeing what Santa is bringing them, they both really love the true meaning of Christmas. Celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ and the true meaning of family. My 7 year old is OBSESSED with inflatables. We probably have about 30 of them. (I don't put them all out at once. LOL We rotate.) But his favorite one is the "Jesus Blowup" as he calls it. Our inflatable Manger. We can't wait to go to Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve and have our "Feast of Seven Fishes". Love this time of year! Have I already mentioned that? ;)

   
Today, I have a sweet and simple card that I made with the Eliza Lace Corners Etched Dies by Amazing Paper Grace for Spellbinders. Instead of just placing them in the corners of the card front, I overlapped them to form a "lacy window". Such a pretty die!

I am also using one of the banner dies from the Vintage Pierced Banners Etched Dies Set. This lovely set comes with 3 different banner dies. So easy and fun to use!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a wonderful day!

Happy Sunday to you! We had our first snowfall of the year yesterday. It looks so pretty outside with everything covered in white! Especially at night, with the Christmas lights twinkling. Such a wonderful time of year!

The snow inspired me to make an icy card with the beautiful Annabelle's Trousseau Layering Frame Medium Etched Dies by Amazing Paper Grace for Spellbinders. I could honestly use this set over and over again! It's perfect to use for a card for anytime of  the year!

 
This die set is from the Chantilly Paper Lace Collection by Becca. Every single die set she designs is spectacular! You can check out all of her dies HERE!

Hope you have a blessed Sunday!
