STAMP OUT CANCER~ Special Friend

Good morning crafty friends! I'm happy to be participating in the 

We all know someone hit by Cancer, so Scrap N' Stamp is doing a blog hop to raise awareness and funds for the PUSH FOR YOUR TUSH . 

Please check out the link to read Nancy's Story. 

Scrap N' Stamp will be donating 10% of today's sales towards this great cause! So be sure to hop along and donate if you can. :o)

Instead of "Get Well Soon" cards, the team made cards that would be more uplifting for friends/family battling cancer. 

Here's my card using the Foilpress from Crafter's Companion along with their gorgeous Foil Stamps and Foil. 

I started with the Ornate Swirls Background Foilpress Stamp with the Berry Foil. If you haven't used the Foilpress machine yet, you NEED to...it's so easy and makes elegant cards in a snap! I then used the Special Friend Foilpress Stamp with the Berry Foil and matted it onto the CC Luxury Red Matt Mirror Card. A bow and Red Pearls from my stash finished off the front of the card. 

I still wanted to tie the front of my card with the inside so I used the Thinking Of You Foilpress Stamp again with the Berry Foil and matted it onto the Luxury Red Matt Mirror Card. 

And there you have a pretty card in just a few simple steps using the CC Foilpress and Gemini- the Foilpress can also be used with the Gemini Jr. :o)

Crafter's Companion~ Spring is in the Air!

Good morning, today I have a fun and cheerful card for you using the 

SPRING IS IN THE AIR collection from 

So many cute and sweet elements in this collection it was hard to choose what to use! :)

I started with the beautiful papers from the 12x12 Paper pad and then adhered the Cottage Window die. 

I paper pieced the Umbrella and used the coordinating die that comes in the set to die cut it out. I added the Primula flowers I created using the SN Harmony Water Reactive Inks in Chinese Red and Orange. Some stamens from my stash finished off  my Primula flowers which I tucked into the umbrella. :) 

I then made some different flowers for my "flower box" using the Aster stamp and die set. I using Lemon Tonic and Honey Pot from the Summer Yellows collection. 

A sentiment from the Spring Sentiments set and enamel dots finished off my card. 

Thank you for joining me today! 

Crafter's Companion~ Spread the Magic

Hello, I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend!

Today, I have a card showcasing the Scalloped Edge Rectangle Dies along with Make a Wish and Acorn House stamp sets. :oD You can get all these great goodies from Crafter's Companion. 

I die cut the whole set of Scalloped Edge Rectangle Dies from Peach and Teal Cardstocks. I then inlaid the dies in alternating colors. 

I then colored the Fairy from the Make a Wish set with Watercolor Markers and fussy cut them all out. Some Clear Sparkle Pen added a little pizazz to my Fairy. I stamped a sentiment from Acorn House in Parakeet SN Harmony Quick Dry Ink and the bow and flower finished off my card. 

See you next time!
