A little something for the 4th

No Fast Card Friday today, instead I'm going to show you a little something for the 4th.




To make a card that looks like mine, you’ll need the following supplies. Remember, if you need any of these supplies, just click on the name of the item and it will take you directly to my shop.


Supplies needed:
Top Note Die
Perfect Polka-Dots embossing folder
Square Lattice embossing folder
Big Shot
Boho blossoms punch
Sticky Strip
Basic Jewels Rhinestones - I used some star shaped ones that I had on hand
Whisper White card stock
Real Red card stock
Night of Navy card stock
Snail Adhesive

I took a scrap of paper and ran it through the Big Shot and used the negative space to create a template so I'd know the placement for each piece.
Real Red & Whisper White were cut the size of the embossing folder and run through the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka-Dots folder.
Once both pieces were embossed, I cut the strips at just a touch over 1/2".
The Night of Navy piece was cut at approx. 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 and run through the Big Shot in the Square Lattice embossing folder.
Using scrap Whisper White, I cut a couple of plane strips and put Snail Adhesive on one side. On to this I placed my Real Red & Whisper White strips, alternating colors. 
I used my negative of the Top Note Die to see where to place the Night of Navy piece to my liking.
Using a ton of Snail I adhered that in place.
I placed the whole thing carefully on the Top Note Die and ran it through the Big Shot. (the strips of scrap Whisper White on the back held it all in place.
Then, using Sticky Strip on the back in areas that were not secured with the scrap strips, I adhered the piece to a standard card.
Punching out 5 of the smallest flowers on the Boho Blossom punch, I adhered those to in the Night of Navy section and then added my rhinestones.

This was may look a little intimidating, but it really isn't. Take your time and read the directions carefully and it's pretty easy.

Take some time to make something today.

Scrapbooking with Wisteria Wonder

This is the last post for Wisteria Wonder Week. Hope you had fun with it. Now ....

Just a few quick pages using




The layouts are pretty straight forward. The mats are cut to hold 4 x 6 photos in landscape. The base butterfly is only only attached on the right side while the butterflies on top are attached completely. A small pearl is placed on top.



 Here it is with actual photos on it!


Both of these papers are from the Berry Blossoms Designer Series Paper. It is retiring, along with all of our Designer Series Paper.Visit my store to order yours before they're gone for good.

This is my niece on her wedding day with her dashing hubby. Aren't they cute. 
The photos is 5 x 7. Matting is 1/4 larger on all sides. 
The little journaling spot is the Modern Label with the top trimmed and inked with Wisteria Wonder.


Be sure to check back next Saturday for more Scrapbooking ideas.

Birthdays on the Brain!

We have lots of Spring Birthdays in my family. Seems that as soon as March rolls around I spend most of my time stamping for birthdays or shopping for birthdays! So much fun!!!

I'm not the only one in the family that makes cards for birthdays. My sister out in CA does as well. Thought I'd share and brag on her a bit with the card that she made for my hubby's birthday last Sunday.


Isn't this darling?! The flames are made with the wing from Bird Punch and popped up on Stampin' Dimensionals. The tips of the flames are glittered to make them pop! The candles are strips of paper that have been run through embossing folders such as Perfect Polk-a-dotsPetals-a-Plenty, and  Vintage Wallpaper. Layer a piece of ribbon on top to hold the message stamped on a label punched from Decorative Label Punch.
Such a fun card to make and receive. It's also "green" because it's a great design to use up all those bits and pieces of paper left from other projects.


Don't forget - Retiring Products are listed in one easy place. 

Grab those supplies and make something today.
