Hello Stamping Friends!

It has been quite a while since I last posted, so much has happened since my last post in 2023! But, I am happy to be sharing my cards with you again!  I have missed this little corner of the crafting world.

I am hoping to post once a week with cards, ideas, and inspiration.  Whether you have followed me in the past or are visiting for the first time, Welcome!

Today I am sharing this card to get things started again.  One of my favorite things about making cards is knowing that something handmade can brighten someone's day

Thank you for stopping by.  I look forward to sharing more with you soon!

Happy Stamping!

This card was part of the team I am a part of and are encouraged each week to participate ins the Creative Spark Thursday. Every Thursday we have a different challenge.  For the week of October 8th, our challenge was to pick a layout from page 37 of the catalog.  These were the layout choices. 


Can you see which one I choose? Here are the measurements I used and how I made this card.

Card base and mat
11 x 4-1/4, scored at 5-1/2.  I used Hydrangea Hue card stock for the base and the two tone card stock for the mat which was 5-1/4 x 4.  I crumbled up the mat really tightly and then flattened it out before glueing it to the base, using the lighter colored side of the card stock.  

Labels
I die cut 4 labels from a retire die set,.  The new Advent Labels punch is what was used in the layout above and would have worked beautifully as well. One was cut from the Violet Dreams Designer Series paper (top left).  Top right label is the two-tone card stock on the darker side and heat embossed with white embossing powder using the flowers from the Famed Violets Stamp set. The bottom let has the lighter side of the two tone Hydrangea Hue card stamped with the stamp that had the collection of dots using Hydrangea Hue ink.  The white label has the sentiment from the set also using Hydrangea Hue ink.  

Embellishments
And pretty flowers were cut-outs that came with the Designer paper.  The embellishments are retired sequins and I used one of the adhesive backed blooms from the Violet Dreams suite.
