Perfectly Preserved Card!

I recently participated in a small demo swap for the Holiday Catalogue and this is one of my favorite cards that I received. It was made by friend and fellow demo Cynthia Clarke-McKellar. This card is really pretty in real life as the "fruit" is on Glossy Paper and the Espresso band across the front is the Core-dinations Cardstock which she has lightly sanded and wrapped with Linen Thread. The designer paper is from the Havest DP pack and the stampset is Perfectly Preserved.

Kindness Matters

I just realized it has been forever since I have posted to this blog. What with life events, vacation, etc I have really gotten behind! Today's  quick share is a card that my friend and fellow demo Linda Willman made for me. It uses the stamp set Kindess Matters, as well as the new Raspberry Ripple Stitched Satin Ribbon and cardstock.

Smudge

2009 - 2012

Today our beloved young "Smudge" lost his battle with Epilepsy. He was such a special little guy that loved everyone (and wasn't shy about showing it) from the first day he joined our family last summer. He has left a huge hole in our lives and will always be remembered for the loving, and sometimes goofy, buddy that he was to all.

Summer Afternoon Hostess Set

I know I have been missing in action for a bit, but once again we have been dealing with issues with our one remaining dog!

I just wanted to share a card with you that I made a bit ago. As demonstrators, we are given the opportunity to prepurchase some of the Hostess sets and I just had to treat myself and buy this one for me! It is called Summer Afternoon and contains three images and a saying and I love them all. The Designer Paper is also new and is called Comfort Cafe and I think will also be one of my favorites.

Pocket Silhouettes Card

My card today is made with one of my favorite stampsets which is retiring in about a week called Pocket Silhouettes. I saw this card on our demo website and had to make my own. For each of the images on the rectangular strips of white cardstock, I stamped off on scrap paper first before stamping on the white strips. Then I inked the stamp again with the same color of ink and stamped just slightly offset from the first image. The ink colors I used for the images were Wisteria Wonder, Pear Pizzazz, and Melon Mambo, with the greeting stamped in Concord Crush. Each of the rectangles are attached to the white card using dimensionals.
