Birthday Giveaway

Hello and welcome to my birthday post! Today I want to share with you my recent achievement designing a digital paper pack. I have been a fan of digital designer paper because of how practical it is. I love floral images and soft feminine colors so that is what you can expect from my designs. I will be releasing a new set soon, and hopefully I will be able to concrete a collection of sets before the year ends. Right now you will find my set Tea Rose available through Paypal here on my blog, but of course a spot on Etsy is on the horizon.  The set Tea Rose, was designed in honor of my shabby chic blog. The patterns of these papers are very soft pink, they have a Victorian feel to it and are very versatile. The set includes not only papers but also some lovely matching cliparts. Each paper is 3600 x 3600, and print neatly. I am a cardmaker and I would only offer something I could work with, and this is becoming one of my favorite sets (and I have many). So I only wish you like it too,

Just Because

Hi! I'm glad to be back with a new card I decided to make for some of my favorite challenges. I love floral images, so I incorporated them to make a card based on a sketch for Mod Squad Challenge.

Here's the sketch, followed by my card: Materials Spellbinders: Classic Squares Small, A2 Matting Basics A Inks: Memento in Rich Cocoa, Brilliance in Black, Distress in Spun Sugar Flourishes: Garden Picks Pelikan glitter glue Bazic two sided tape and foam tape Other generic materials 7/8" gross grain ribbon in pink Eggshell cardstock in white Textured cardstock in soft pink  To make this card, I stamped the images, die cut them in squares and colored them with markers.

HIMCR #149 - Embossing

Hello! It's great to be back with a new challenge post for Hiding in my Craft Room. This time, we're challenged to use embossing on our projects. It can be any kind of embossing: Wet or dry; You can use powder, a folder, a bone folder and Scor-pal, or old school embossing with a stylus and stencil. If you don't have any of these, feel free to use some pre-embossed paper. Our sponsor this week is Laurie (blog owner) and she's giving away some embossing folders to a lucky winner. I use embossing often on my projects, so I can say it is one of my favorite techniques. This time, I decided to go for dry embossing in an unusual way (at least for me).    Materials Flourishes stamps - Flowers for Jan Spectrum Noir markers - Purples Craft Concepts - More Dots embossing folder Memento dye ink - Rich Cocoa Spellbinders: Scalloped Borders One, A2 Matting Basics A Pelikan glitter glue Other generic materials Linen cardstock in white This
