You're In Our Thoughts Today and some BLOG CANDY

Today I have a card to show and also some blog candy to give away.

First, the card:

My card base is 5" x 7". The base is Worldwin Royal Plum and then I added a layer of HOTP Pink Flourishes. For my stamped image I chose the Celebrations Demi Phrases from JustRite Stampers.






These demi phrases are intended to be used on the 2" wood stamper but I needed more of an oval shape for my card so I tried to put the phrase on my 1 3/4" x 2 5/16" oval stamper and it worked!!!






Then I diecut the phrase and 2 mats using the Spellbinders Classic Ovals & Scalloped Ovals and adhered the phrase to my card. Next I cut a 2 1/2" x 7" piece of the Worldwin Royal Plum and ran it through my Cuttlebug using the Textile embossing folder. I adhered ribbon to the top and bottom edge of the Royal Plum before I adhered it to my card so that I wouldn't have any ribbon edges showing.



The 3 embellishments were diecut using Spellbinders Labels Three and the Dahlia dies. Each layer has popdots in between to give dimension. To finish off my card, I added Kaiser pearls and attached a small ribbon to the top corner.

BLOG CANDY


Now for the good stuff!!!! I have blog candy to give away today. Today I have the 2 3/8"Wood Stamper with Bonus 25 pt font set & center from JustRite Stampers to give away.

Hi, Angela! I LOVE cards (like the gorgeous one in your very first post!), so I'd love to see MORE!!! I STILL don't own any JustRite stamps, so that's HIGH on my wish list (along with all the Spellbinders goodies I can get my hands on)!!! I'll send some friends by to your new blog!!!

Hi Angela! Congrats on the new blog. You already have over 500 hits! I love the Autograph book and the paper clips projects you did so I guess I like seeing more 3-d projects (your cards are beautiful as well lol). I've added myself as a follower to keep updated. Thanks and good luck!!

Wow have you been busy -so many projects so little time - love the blog - I'm still procrastinating about starting one - your work is great. Would like to see some more 3D project(loved the basket) and cards always cards - I've only recently discovered JustRite stamps and already have 4 sets which I use all the time but haven't got any font sets yet so they would be great.

Your card is really pretty. I really like all the layers. I too would like more 3D projects. I don't do scrapbooking or much cards but love to make stuff out of plain ole paper. How fun is that making something out of nothing.
