Beautifully Baroque

Today’s card is one that I made at a class given by Maggie Patterson and Ronda Wade.  It uses the beautiful new embossing folder, Beautifully Baroque.  This was the first time that I’d used our Core’dinations Cardstock (underneath my sentiment).  It is a thick, sandable cardstock that you use to create an antiqued, distressed look (I could have distressed it a lot more than I did).  Another new product on my card are the Candy Dots!  You can simply place them on your projects like our pearls or rhinestones or you can use the Candy Dots Brad Bases and turn them into a colored brad!  So cute!

Thank you for taking time to stop by my blog today!!

A Sweet Birthday

I guess you could say that I am definitely on a gift card holder kick.  Remember the days when you had to actually go to THE place of business to get a gift card??  What a pain.  Now it is so very easy to just pop into your local grocery store and peruse the wide array of gift cards.  Love it!
The base of my card holder uses the Card Base Pop ‘n Cuts Big Shot die.  You use a 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece of cardstock.  It does not come scored as the picture below suggests but it does have the notched edges at the top and at the opposite end, little slits for those notched edges so that it will stay closed.  
I scored mine at 1″, 3″ and 7 1/2″.  It is a little easier to see what I did on this Very Vanilla one.  The one inch score line becomes a flap and the other becomes your pocket!
The inspiration for folding the base of my card came from Catherine Harwood and the embelishment idea came right from the big catalog on page 9.  I originally did not order the stamp set Cycle Celebration but as it always works, I saw it on a card and fell in love with it.
Cycle Celebration   Wood #130270    Clear #130273

Zoo Babies Elephant

Another card using the cute set, Zoo Babies.  This time I used one of the new In Colors, Pistachio Pudding!  It is such a soft pretty color and the Ruffle Stretch Trim in the same color is so sweet.  I wish we had this trim in every available color instead of just the new In Colors.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
