Don't know what I am thinking...

I made several projects fairly recently but I let them get sent off without any pictures. I thought I had taken pictures. Maybe I did but for the life of me I can not find where I saved the files. While I was looking for them I came across a picture I had taken of one of the cards in a plastic bag.

I made a nice butterfly card using my oval frame die cut and my butterfly file. The card base is white cardstock that I inked in Tumbled Glass. Next there is a black mat, then a white mat, and then you see the background that was stamped with a TH Damask stamp in Tumbled Glass.  It seems that the only picture I can find is one of the card in a plastic bag.

I bought several of these bags in bulk. The opening is 6 inches wide and it will hold things up to 9 inch tall. It is the perfect size for 5 1/2 by 8 1/2 cards. It is also food safe and has a zipper top. Since I bought so many bags I am going to list some on my Etsy site.

White and Gold Wedding Card

I needed to make some wedding cards for family members. Since I STILL have gold glitter embossing paper surrounding my work space, I decided to use it on this card. (That is one way to see your supplies so you remember to use them. LOL)

I used all white cardstock that I dry embossed and heat embossed. (I am getting better with my stamping :)

I used one of my oval frames files and a bride and groom file that I made months ago and never used, These files will be available in my Etsy store.

As always, the cut files, instructions, and video tutorial for the Center Step Card are located on the "Step Cards" tab under my blog header.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Pink Damask

Hello my crafty friends. Well I have been busy moving and have not had an internet connection for several days. I never realized I was so addicted to getting online! I have missed my blog and Reader so much. 

Well that is the negative side of the move, but the positive side is that I have a HUGE new craft room! I will post pictures when I have it all set up. (and after I get all the other boxes that are stashed in it right now) LOL

Here is a card that I made before the move. 

Isn't it pretty? I really like it. I even stamped on it. (that is big for me...LOL)

I made my own embossed resist background. I used a Tim Holtz Damask stamp that the surrounding area instead of the damask pattern (ie the part that is white on the card.)
It was stamped using Versa Mark and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.
Then I inked the background with Picked Raspberry Distress Ink.  That made the areas that were not embossed turn pink.

I added an oval frame and open rose which I left white and just inked the edges with the Picked Raspberry.

Love that effect on the rose!
Then of course I had to add some bling to finish it off.

Well, I hope you enjoyed seeing this card as much as I enjoyed making it. :)

I will keep you informed of my new craft room. I have BIG plans for crafting in this new space. LOL
