"Dream" Card using "Forever Yours" January Kit from Frosted Designs!!!

Hello again friends!!!!  I'm here today with a card I made using this month's beautiful Forever Yours Kit from Frosted Designs!!!

The colors are truly amazing and the papers and embellies all go together so well!!!  

Here is my card:

  

These papers are "dreamy" indeed!!!!  I used a variety of papers from the kit to create my "base", then started adding on my desired embellishments!

The grossgrain trim in the kit goes beautifully with everything, doesn't it?!?

I finished my card with a stamped sentiment from my stash and a black card base!

Well gang...  Thanks so much for stopping in and have a LUCKY day :-)

Beautiful Day with Heidi Swapp and Sketch N Scrap!!!

Hola mi amigos (y amigas!!!).  Just popping in with our second card sketch of the month over at Sketch N Scrap!

Here's a look at this wonderful sketch by our very own Lisa Hidy:

Love it!!!!!  I used the "Hello Today" collection by Heidi Swapp from the Frosted Designs Store to create this card:

Isn't this card adorable?!?!  I just love the sketch and the colors on the card!!  

I started with a kraft base and layered up my papers, inking them all along the way with Mustard Seed Distress Ink.  I fussy cut the stars from the pattern paper in the collection, inked the edges, then added pop-dots behind them for dimension!  I even topped them off with liquid pearls for added detail!

I finished the card with a small card I cut from the stack with a couple of more liquid pearls for accents!

Easy peasy lemon squeezy!!!!

Well gang...  Thanks so much for stopping in and have a LUCKY day :-)

Card Sketch #20 at Sketch N Scrap with Heidi Swapp "Mixed Company"!!!

Hello all!!!  Guess what time it is?!?  It's time for another fabulous card sketch over at Sketch N Scrap!!!  Isn't that exciting?!?

"Hello Beautiful" with Heidi Swapp "Mixed Company"

Okay....  Here it is:

And here is a beautiful card I made for a very close friend:

I used the Heidi Swapp "Mixed Company" paper pad because the colors are just soooo pretty!!!!  I kept the card pretty simple as I didn't want to cover up too much of that beautiful paper!!! 

 I started off with my Martha Stewart paper punch to create the die-cut frame of the card.  Then, I used my scalloped circles die by Spellbinders and my Grand Calibur to create some die-cuts for the center piece.  I also used various circle punches and swiss dots embossing folder for texture.  I topped it off with some liquid pearls and a banner stamped with the word "beautiful"in ink by Stampin Up.

I inked the edges of everything with "Spun Sugar" Distress Ink.  I also got to use my spiffy Epiphany Crafts tool that my husband got me at Christmas Time.  I punched out a canvas piece by The Little Yellow Bicycle and added the epoxy atop of it.  Then, I mounted that to a beautiful charm piece that came with the tool.  I finished the charm by adding some twine that can be cut to remove it from the card!!!  

Here is a close-up of the charm and sentiment:

Well gang....  Thanks sooo much for stopping in and have a LUCKY day :-)
