Little Girls have been my Motivation

Gracie's birthday has motivated me to make some "girly" cards. It's been fun, especially when you are blessed enough to work with fabulous paper and stamps. I am so very grateful to Frances Naeve owner of Hearts in Touch rubber stamps, and Patricia Dunbar, owner of The Paper Temptress, for having me as a part of their design teams.

Birthday card for my sweet granddaughter Gracie

Just a little something using my Cricut Pagoda cartridge and Hearts in Touch stamps. It feels good to be back to creating! Gracie will be 4 years old on the 31st of this month.She thinks she is 20!

Showcasing Hearts in Touch Stamps

Gingersnap Creations is featuring Hearts in Touch stamps all month long. Each week there is a different challenge. I made the following cards for the Color Challenge. The colors were purple, green and gold, which just happens to be one of my favorite color combos!
The First cards uses an image from HIT #137 Antique Swirls sheet.
The second card uses an image from HIT # 125 HIT Flowers sheet.

Herringbone Horses

So here is another Herringbone Technique card, The image and sentiment are both from Impression Obsession. I used faux flower soft for the horses hats. You make faux flower soft by rubbing two styrofoam balls together. That's all folks!

Two Great Techniques

The most recent newsletter from Technique Junkies is so awesome! These are just 2 of the fabulous techniques from it. I used the Bleached Swipes technique on the image and the Herringbone technique on the background paper. The tag image is from Hero Arts.If you don't subscribe to Technique Junkies newsletter, you don't know what you are missing!

Let There Be Peace

This is a sneak preview of a Christmas card I will be posting on the Paper Temptress blog in a day or so. I love these micro beads from Stamp La Jolla, but I forget to use them. They really add elegance to a card. I also used Spellbinders Fleur De Les pendant die to add a bit more pizazz. All paper is from the Paper Temptress of course!

Geisha Shaker Card

<

Hearts in Touch has several new stamp sheets out and one of them is GeishaPhotos.It is unbelievably gorgeous as you can see

I was inspired to do something a bit different, so I made a shaker card. I used the new Shaker pouches from Impression-Obsession, and boy did it make the process easier!

All paper except for the patterned paper is from The Paper Temptress. Look how fabulous the embossing is on the top portion of the card. I used a Sizzix embossing folder, but the paper is what makes the difference! All of Patricia's paper embosses so perfectly!

Thanks for stopping by!
