Love You Forever

It's my wedding anniversary, so I made this card for my loving husband. No ribbons or gems needed on this one.



The paper comes from a very cool digital kit called Vintage Tee Revival by Dysfunctional Design.

I cut a mat using the Mat Stack 1 and popped it up with foam tape, and heat embossed the sentiment using White Detail embossing powder. The hearts, from Heart Prints, were stamped with red Colorbox ink and cut out, adhered on with some dark chocolate Baker's twine.

Last-minute Holiday cards!

I have a post today over on The Hybrid Chick blog - check it out here .

Here is a little peak of the set of cards I created using PTI cardstock, a few embellishments, a few stamps and some gorgeous digital papers.

Happy Friday!

Happy Halloween!

Sorry I haven't been posting much this week--it's been busy and sick!

I made this fun card with some digital paper from the Digichick by Quirk Twerp called All Hallow's Eve . I stamped my witch twice, once in black and again in versarmark so I could heat emboss. I then machine stitched and distressed the edges of the paper and added the bow and tag.

Hope you have a fun and safe night...I am off in a bit with my ninja and lion to trick or treat!

Happy Anniversary!

Tomorrow is my husband and I's (how do you say that??) wedding anniversary! Happy Anniversary honey!

I made him this card using digital papers from the Cafe Latte kit from The DigiChick .



I resized the images from 12x12 papers to 3x3 squares so that it would be better sized for a card format. All the edges are inked with a sponge and Ranger's Walnut Stain Distress ink. I punched out two small hearts and adhered them with foam tape, then tied around some rustic hemp twine. I love that I could have both sentiments that I wanted in the same font!

Some fun news...

I was asked to join the hybrid creative team at The DigiChick . Yay! I am very honored to be joining such a talented group of people!

Here's a card I created using on of their collaboration kits, Cherry Delight .



As you can see I am on a quilt-type card kick and using my new sewing machine! I bought a Janome Sew Mini a little while back, and I love it! It's very easy to use and super portable. You can find it on sale at Hancock's every couple of months.

I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have about using digital papers and embellishments in hybrid cards and crafting!

Thanks for taking a look!
