Marbled Elegance ...

There are some new items available November 5th and will be located in Online Exclusives.  I wanted to make a card using the stunning DSP, stamps and dies.  I next plan to utilize this collection for some scrapbooking pages.  i have watched the process in designing this DSP and it really is a work of art by incredible artists.  The originals are handmade and then off to the printer.

The card is standard A2 and I made this into a shaker.  Since I will sending this to a friend for a special occasion in February - hence the snowflakes in the shaker window.

Card base: 8.5" x 5.5" scored @ 4.25"
Layer 1: 5.25" x 4"


And, here is the collection that was used and will be available November 5th.


Using Hearts of Elegance dies I cut the heart using Marbled Elegance DSP.  Small rectangular piece of acetate to cover the heart opening adhering with Mono Multi Purpose Liquid glue.  I placed the heart piece that was left over from due cutting onto the card base front aligning to the top layer.  Small snowflake embellishments for the shaker element and to avoid static as much as possible I rub a small amount of anti static embossing powder on the acetate.  The 2 smaller hearts are also from the dies in this collection.  Dimensionals for the shaker layer and the 2 added hearts.
Sentiment from same stamp set and I used a die from Tasteful Labels (R).  The twine is Real Red and White Bakers Twine wrapped about 3 times and then tied to a bow.  And, there is some heat embossing.

Pre-Order Peek ...

There will soon be new products in the Online Exclusives section of my website.  Here is a sneak peek at some of the products that will be available for purchase November 5th!

The cards are the standard measurements for A2 and Slimline.  I will post links to the products used that are currently available.  And, I will post again when the new Online Exclusive products are available for purchase.    That post will be made first thing November 5th if not before.  If you have signed up for email notifications of new blog posts you will be alerted via the follow.it new blog post email.  And, I again apologize for the ads that are posted on the notification as I do not have any control over them.


New stamp set and dies available November 5th.  Happy Hibiscus will be available as a Bundle or individual as tamp Set and Dies.  I also used the Gold Twisted Thread and Adhesive Backed Heart Sequins.  These will also be available November 5th.

For the Hibiscus flowers I used Lemon Lolly and Poppy Parade with detail brushes I have had forever.  You can also use finger daubers which we have online.  The dragonflies are from the Adhesive Backed Dragonflies & Birds.  Poppy Parade cardstock for mat pieces.  Card base used is Basic White Cardstock 8.5"x5.5" and score at 4.25".   I will post links at the bottom of this post for convenience.


This card also shows new Online Exclusive products that I was able to purchase on demonstrator pre-order and will be available November 5th.  This is Pretty Petals and will be available as a bundle or individually as a stamp set and dies.

I have some Slimline card bases left over from when I purchased scrapbooking workshops from Close To My Heart and that is what I used for this card.  You can also make this using your Trimmer and the following measurements.

Card base 8.5" x 7" and score at 3.5".  Many people will use a legal sized envelope if making their own slimline card base.

The Highland Heather mats are both 8.25" x 3.25" and the top (Basic White) is 8" x 3" both outside and inside.

I used Highland Heather for the mats, sentiment and flowers.  Garden Green for the leaves.  I added Purple Fine Shimmer Gems.

Happy crafting!

Glitch be gone ...

I believe I have the "glitch" fixed for my replying to comments on this Blog.  I again am so sorry it has taken me a bit to get things figured out.  Well, kind of figured out.

I can reply to comments if using Safari BUT .... still an issue if I am wanting to respond using Chrome.  Figure that one out LOL considering Blogger is a Google product just a Chrome is.  It really has me puzzled but Safari to my rescue.

I appreciate everyone's patience while I worked on this and know I appreciate the small few that are here :)

Happy crafting everyone and may YOUR "glitches" be none!!
