For Always-- A Gate Fold Card

I made this card the other day.  I was excited to use the For Always Paper Pack.  It is so elegant, with Black, Slate, Whisper, Ruby, Lagoon, Honey and Desert Sand.  These are gorgeous colors with Black.  Here I use the paper with Lagoon.  Love this!  This is a gate fold card.  The card opens in the middle, the piece stamped with "Love" is only attached to the left side of the card.

Here is the inside of the card.  You can barely see the "Love" on the left of the picture.  It swings open like a gate.  I used:

X7165B For Always Paper Pack. Black Card Stock, D1539 The Happy Couple, A1131 Love, Z1821 Black Buttons, and Z1751 Black and Grey Sparkle Assortment.  

Hope you like it,

My Canvas Art Kit

 
When I saw this kit, I knew exactly which pictures I wanted to use.  I think it turned out just right.  That red chair and little red skirt couldn't have been more perfect.  This was so easy to do.  All the pieces punched out, I stamped, glued and pop dotted.  This kit comes with at stamp set and enough dimensional elements to make two canvases.  The other colors are yellow and green.  Now, I need to make another one.  

Do it with Heart!

Fabulous You

That's the name of this stamp set.  It is $13.95 and comes with another bird and two sayings.  A wonderful stamp set to use for all of those special people in your life.  Here I used the Claire paper pack along with Outdoor Denim and Sunset cardstock.  I added a bit of color to the bird, flowers and stem with the Blending Pen.  And a little bling rounds it out.  Thanks so much for stopping by today!
