Well, I just had the most fun day yesterday! My friend Crystal, aka Super Stamp Girl, stopped by the Stamp, Ink, Paper Store with her friends Donna and Laurie who also had her daughter with her. We had a very nice visit and as an added bonus Crystal brought me some apple cider donuts! They were delicious by the way! I love getting to see my crafty friends in person! All four of the ladies were wonderful! Here is a little picture of us…
Thanks so much Crystal for coming by with your lovely friends! Can’t wait for your next visit!
The crop was fun as always, I love getting to chat with all of the ladies! I had the nicest ride home in the car, I can’t explain how happy it makes me to drive along with the top down and the music on. It’s the little things! My Parent’s went to Pennsylvania and when they got home we had dinner. After that I ran a few errands and then made my card for today. Such a nice Saturday! 😀
My card that I have to share with you today is believe it or not a nice quick and simple card! My base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. I covered the front in a piece of the Altenew White Woodgrain Paper. The flowers and the butterfly are all from the Altenew Wild Hibiscus Photopolymer Stamp Set. I heat embossed them onto a piece of Black 110lb in Hero Arts Gold Embossing Powder and cut them out with the Coordinating Dies. My sentiment comes from the Altenew Beautiful Quotes Photopolymer Stamp Set and is also heat embossed in Gold on Black. I used a 1″ Circle Punch to cut off the right side, just for something different. All of the flowers, butterfly and greeting are adhered to the card with 3D Foam Squares. I could have left the card as is and been happy but you know that I think everything looks better with some Pretty Pink Posh Sequins! I added Sparkling Clear, Onyx and Gold ones and then added a few Small Clear Droplets to the middles of the 8mm Sparkling Clear ones for a little something extra! It really was a nice simple card but I love the look of the gold embossing on the black card stock with the subtle white woodgrain background and the sentiment is awesome! I hope that you enjoyed the card today! Thanks very much for checking in! Have an amazing Sunday! 🙂
