What started off as a really nice sunny and warm day ended with some rain and a drop in the temps. I guess that the really nice weather that we have been having couldn’t last forever! The Stamp, Ink, Paper Store was so much fun yesterday and I had a great time with the ladies! My friend Elyse got four cards made and a new customer Julia bought the Lawn Fawn Kit! She said that she would have the cards made from the kit in time for the next card class! I look forward to seeing them! After work I stopped home for a bit and saw my Parents. At around 7:00 I headed over to George’s to see Heather’s new car! She got a Honda Accord in dark blue with grey interior. It’s a very nice car and handles really well! I spent the rest of the evening with her and Geroge and we had a lovely time! She had made chicken francaise for dinner and it was delicious! I shared a bottle of Cupcake Red Velvet with George, love that wine! Today Renee will be at her grandson’s birthday party so I will have the store all to myself in the morning. I plan to get lots of stuff done! Wish me luck! 😀
I was inspired the other day by a piece of patterned paper that I saw and this is the card the resulted from that! My card base is Ivory 110lb Card Stock. On the left side I adhered a piece of Photoplay Real Genius Stripe 12×12 Paper. My panel is a piece of Kraft that I stamped the Hero Arts Designer Woodgrain Background stamp on in Soft Brown. The panel is adhered to the card with Fun Foam and SNAIL. My leaves are from the Grateful Leaves Stamp & Cut Combo and are stamped in Green Hills, Raspberry Jam and Tide Pool onto more craft. I used my Mini MISTI so I could double stamp each of the images and then used the coordinating dies to cut them out. The veins are heat embossed in WOW! Rich Pale Gold Embossing Powder. I heat embossed the greeting from the Hero Arts Holiday Greetings Photopolymer Stamp Set in more Rich Pale Gold onto a strip of kraft and adhered all of the pieces to the card with 3D Foam Squares. I love the way that leaves look stamped on the kraft, makes the colors look a little richer! I hope that you like my card for today! Thank you for coming by and I wish you all a simple Sunday! 🙂
