I also used the stamp set Tasteful Textures. Don’t you just love the sentiment?
One of the coordinating colors in the Mosaic Mood Designer Series Paper is Terracotta Tile so I used cardstock in that color and ink, also in that color, for the sentiment.
The Terracotta Tile butterfly was created using the Butterfly Beauty Dies and a die-cutting machine.

It’s very easy to make the beautiful lace background on my card today using the Stitched Lace Dies and a die-cutting machine.
Once the background was cut out, I used Multipurpose Glue to add dots of glue all around the back. I’ll be honest, I was a little intimidated at first wondering how I would adhere it the cardstock but it worked out well. Lots of little dots of glue equals a card front that isn’t going to fall off!
The base of the card is Blueberry Bushel, one of the 2018-2020 In Colors. I used that color again for the sentiment and the piece the sentiment sits on, both of which were cut out using the Stitched Nested Labels Dies. Three Noble Peacock Rhinestones in Blueberry Bushel were the finishing touches!

Tuesday Tutorial

Bonus Days end tomorrow!! Click here to place an order!
I’m feeling nostalgic because today is the first day of school! For 22 years I was an elementary school teacher. I retired seven years ago and in some ways it feels like a lifetime ago that I had a classroom full of children and at other times, it feels like just yesterday. My life has completely changed since the day I left my classroom for the last time. Months after retiring, our first grandchild was born and now we have three! We moved 400 miles away from a home we lived in for 28 years so that we could see our grandkids regularly and so that they’d know who we are. Several years before retiring, I became a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator. I remember very clearly, drooling over the catalog and wishing I could craft all day long and be a full time demonstrator. My wish came true and I love it! I can craft whenever I want (in between babysitting those precious grandchildren of mine). Life is good!
So as today begins, I’m thinking of my school teacher friends and all the kids with their new lunchboxes and new school supplies as they get ready to start the school year. To anyone starting school today or in the next few weeks, have a wonderful first day and a school year full of fun and new memories!

It’s time for the Glitter Queens Blog Hop! In honor of the 4th of July, our projects are all about Red, White and Blue! I hope you’ll visit all the Glitter Queens in the hop today!
At first I wasn’t sure what to create for this month’s theme but then inspiration hit and I created two cards! This first one uses the stamp set Ride with Me. I don’t think I’ve ever purchased a truck stamp before but when I saw this stamp set, I just had to have it. So cute and so versatile!
I actually did two versions of the card. Which one do you prefer? The one with the red mat or no mat?(more…)
