Something a little different.

Hi Ladies...
Today I'm posting my first large card, it's a 5x7 size.  It take some getting use to all this extra space, but I think before I decide I'll have to make several more....
Here we go,

I can't take credit for this style or idea it was on  this post by Amazing Paper Grace back on July 14, 2015... I don't have access to ALL the BEAUTIFUL dies Becca dose so I did the best I could with the dies I had.  In her post she shows how to make the top hing out of the corner dies, so if you need that please take a look at Becca's post

 

For my card I used the corner die by Cherry Lynn Designs called Lace Corner B174.

The Beautiful flower stamp is a Flourishes called Wild Roses SS266, then I cut it out using Spellbinders Labels 14 the largest one. and backed it with another Spellbinders Pendants Lattice S4-210.

The white bow is Hug Snug tape. 

The base of the card is from K&Company pack called Life's Journey.  It's two sided so I just used a single sheet. 

The inside is the other side of the K&Company paper and the sentiment is Fiskars from "Make a Wish Quotes Birthday".  Used the same Labels 14 die along with Labels 10 too. 

And that's it...

If you have any questions, let me know.

Happy Valentines

Here's a Valentine I made for my Mom.... I tried some fancy cutting here for my background...

Since I made a long thin card 3 x 6.5 none of my dies would work here... so I cut them... for the fancy background I used a Cherry Lynn  Die Wedding Vows and just used the border. Cut 2 and then cut each of the arches in half.  Then you place them on the paper and just cut in the middle and you have a perfect end peace.  I did this for both ends and then did the same then in the middle... covered most of the cut lines with the ribbon and heart so all you see is the pretty cut background.  I you would like a better idea of how I did this let me know and I'll do a How-To-Post.  

 

Here's a view a little further back....

 

 and this is the inside.....

Let me know what you think or how you re used some of you dies a different way, I'd love to know.

Happy Birthday MOM!!!!

Hi Everyone!!

Today I'm posting the card I made for my Mom's 90th Birthday which is this coming week..... It's hard for me to think of her as 90 because she still dose so much for herself and refuses help...does all her cooking, laundry, light cleaning and even has us over for occasions and does the cooking. 

All I can say is I hope I'm half the woman she is if I even make it to 90!

Will here's what I did with her card. Now don't be to surprised but I did a 6x6 card today.  I used a Serendipity stamp for the water lilies using Memeno Rich Cocoa and then used clear embossing over it... I did my coloring with SU Watercolor crayons, been thinking of getting some H2O's to try but can't make up my mind which colors to get there's SOooo many to pick from.

Here's a close up of the layers and my Koi fish by Cheery Lynn Designs, I just used a yellow piece of paper and then painted the fish with Smooch Glitz-Goldrush, it gave him a little shine and sparkle.

This may be a better close up of the Koi.

and the inside I restamped the water lilies and did a quick wash paint and the used the quote from Fiskars-Make a Wish quotes.

With the card being a 6x6 (which I very seldom do) there's plenty of room to wright something too.
I plan on taking her to lunch at a little Tea house that she just LOVE's to go, I know she will like that.  And hope she likes the card too.  You know Mothers they can't say anything bad when it comes to what there children make... (Oh my,,, some of the things I brought home, and she just raved about them!!!) 

I'll let you know what happens at the Tea House............
