Hello, Sweet Lady

Long time, no post...I know. I am stateside right now with lots of travel. I have projects to share, but haven't been able to find a block of time just to sit down and work on the computer. It has been a wonderful time of reunion, fellowship and just enjoying every conversation in our native tongue! :) We got to celebrate 4th of July on American soil with our loved ones here and that was such a treat for our family.

Today's card uses two of my favorite sets, Sweet Silhouettes and Sweet Sentiments. The frame is die cut with Spellbinders Labels 10.

The papers are October Afternoon. I embellished the card with my staple Want2Scrap pearls, doily, buttons, ribbon and paper flower.

Have a wonderful day and stay cool!

Paper Wishes Feminine Card Sets

I have a card set of 8 for you today using some more of the Hot Off the Press products (available through Paper Wishes) they generously sent me to play with. I used the brand new Rosemary & Thyme 6x6 Paper pad, the coordinating 22 Flowers 3-D Papier Tole and Pink Jewel Border Dazzles™. The first 4 are for the upcoming Mother's Day. The gorgeous papers are from this collection. The sentiments are from The Craft's Meow's Sweet Sentiments set, which is this month's Free with $50 purchase.

The butterflies are die cut using Spellbinders Wonderful Wings dies. I adorned my cards with Want2Scrap's Beautiful Bling Border, lace, doily and some paper roses.

The next 4 cards also use the 22 Flowers 3-D Papier Tole to create these layered flowers. I put a small Want2Scrap pearl in the center of the flowers and on the corners of the cards.

The sentiments are SRM Stickers. I love the white on dark patterned papers, don't you? The strips on the bottom are from Pink Jewel Border Dazzles. Some delicate doilies and pretty pink seam binding finish the card.

As with most of my mass-produced cards, I follow a basic sketch to make the process easier. Feel free to use the sketch if you're feeling inspired.

Have a great rest of the week, friends!

Introducing Sweet Sentiments by TCM

Welcome to the release of the new free with $50 purchase by The Craft's Meow,, starting April 21. Make sure you check out the TCM blog for more info! The set is called Sweet Sentiments, which coordinates with the Sweet Silhouettes set. Sweet Sentiments include a wooden frame and sentiments that can go inside or with the Sweet Silhouettes set.

For my card, I die a small piece of cardstock with Spellbinders Labels 10 die. I used the negative cut as a window for the Sweet Sentiments frame. I stamped the frame on a patterned paper. The silhouette from Sweet Silhouettes was fussy cut.

The sentiment is also from Sweet Sentiments. The papers are October Afternoon. The bow is adorned with a tiny Want2Scrap pearl.
