Phew.... we're in the depths of summer heat and humidity here in Southern Ontario...!

• Decorative Label punch (120907)
• Large Polka Dot embossing folder (133739)
• Thick Baker's Twine
• Rhinestones

Some lovely clouds....

Today's card is one of those cards that just comes together so easily.... I love it when that happens...

If you leave a comment and tell me how you think I made the clouds...you'll be entered in a draw for this stamp set...one of my favourites!

On my card I used:

• "Gift from the Garden" stamp set (w-138718,c-139356)
• Stampin' Write Markers
• "Work of Art" stamp set (w-134111,c-134114)

Advanced Faux Quilting

I've been itching to work with the multiple layers of the Tags & Labels framelits!   Then it struck me that the Advanced Faux Quilting technique would work!

To do the technique, layer different shapes on cardstock then emboss the whole piece with a heavily patterned embossing folder. 

I layered the framelits by interchanging DSP and cardstock with the different sizes.

I also used:

• "Gifts from the Garden" stamp set (w-138718,c-139356)
• "One Big Meaning" stamp set (w-138788,c-139420)
• Tags & Labels Framelits (138282)
• English Garden DSP (138440)
• Stampin' Write Markers
• Zig Zag embossing folder (133738)

Try this technique with your next card!

Surprised myself...

Creating some projects for my community next week I happened to use all of the new In Colors on the card without even realizing it!

I actually CASE'd a card illustrated in our annual catalogue on page 81.  Our catalogue is a wonderful inspiration for all kinds of projects!

If you don't have a copy as yet, email me!
