I am also using the fabulous Vintage Pierced Banners Etched Dies. This set comes with 3 different banner dies. They are so fun to work with! The papers I am using are from the Romantique 6.5 x 6.5 Paper Pad by KaiserCraft.

Hi there lovely peeps! Feels good to be back! Took a little break from crafting/blogging due to a pulled muscle in my back and leg. That's what I get for trying to do everything myself, as usual! I hate asking anyone for help!! Are you ready for Christmas? 3 weeks from today!! Speaking of Christmas, I have a sweet Christmas card to share with you today that I made with a gorgeous die set by Amazing Paper Grace for Spellbinders.

I used the beautiful Bella Rose Lattice Layering Frame Large Etched Dies for my card. Such a stunning die set. It's perfect for any type of card!

I used papers and ephemera by Tim Holtz from his new Christmas Line. 

This die set is from the Chantilly Paper Lace Collection by the super sweet Becca! You can see all of her fabulous dies HERE!

Have a fabulous rest of your day!

♥ Christmas Wonderland ♥

I can't believe it's only 37 days until Christmas? My favorite time of year! I LOVE to decorate my home for Christmas. I also love the smells of Christmas...the twinkling lights...the gathering of friends and family...making Christmas cards...but most importantly, I love to see the excitement and joy in my kids eyes. Nothing like it! Yesterday, my sweet husband surprised us with a 6 foot plus tall Santa I had been admiring in the store. I don't know who was more excited...me or my 7 year old! :)

 
I'm definitely in the holiday spirit for sure now! So why not make a Christmas card with some beautiful Spellbinders Dies by Amazing Paper Grace! For my card, I am using the Coralene's Chemise Layering Frame Large Etched Dies. Such stunning, intricate dies yet sturdy enough to use as the base for my card.

I die cut the Swirl Frame twice using dark green cardstock and patterned paper. I then adhered the patterned paper die cut over the green cardstock to give it some dimension.

I added lots of chunky glitter to all the edges with some Glossy Accents to give it a "frosty, icy" look. The papers are from the Sweet Peppermint Paper Pad by Prima.

Don't forget to check out the rest of Becca's new Chantilly Paper Lace Collection !

♥ For You ♥

Hi there! It's Friday!! Although all week I kept forgetting what day it was due to the kids being off of school all week for Teacher's Convention. But I'm still glad it's the weekend because that means hubby is home too! We have family coming to visit tomorrow and then Sunday is football day in our house! My husband makes pizza on that day so it's an easy day for me! ;) What are your plans for the weekend?

I'm stopping in today with a super quick, easy yet elegant card made with some new and older dies by Amazing Paper Grace for Spellbinders. I used the new Hannah Elise Layering Frame Dies which I layered over the large frame die from the Annabelle's Trousseau Layering Frame Medium Etched Dies. Both sets of dies are from the new Chantilly Paper Lace Collection by Becca.

The sweet little tag is from the Graceful Tiny Tag and Stamp Set. I finished it off with some pearls, satin ribbon and a vintage broach.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

♥ Hemstitch Ovals ♥

Hello there! Today, I have card that I made with the new Spellbinders Hemstitch Ovals Etched Dies from the Chantilly Paper Lace Collection by Amazing Paper Grace. These dies are gorgeous!

Love working with these dies! Every die Becca designs is just truly stunning! Such a treat that I get to design for her! These Hemstitch Ovals are beautiful by themselves or would go nicely layered with a number of her other dies as well! The papers I used are from the Rose Avenue Paper Pad by KaiserCraft.

Hope you have an Amazing day! ;)

♥ Shabby Arched Borders ♥

Happy Halloween Eve! Stopping in with a couple of quick cards using the beautiful Spellbinders  Arched Borders Dies by Amazing Paper Grace from the New Chantilly Paper Lace Collection. All of the dies in this collection are amazing! This is such a versatile set that can be used a number of ways. When I first saw them. I thought of a pumpkin! I guess it's the time of year! :)

This was super easy and quick to make! I added some flowers, ribbon, twine and a mini spool for the stem.

The paper I used is from the Zella Teal Paper Pad by Prima as well as the flowers.

Next, I made a simple baby card also using the Arched Borders dies.

For this card, I just simply die cut two arches and then adhered them together at the top and bottom. I then added the center panel also made by using the 2 Arch cut dies. These papers are also by Prima from the Heaven Sent Paper Pad.

I hope you all have a safe and fun Halloween!!
