Hello Everyone, this month I'm posting a Sympathy Card featuring Spellbinders Dies. The pattern paper is a Swirl paper with a varnish finish. I cut panels of pattern paper, matted them with black cardstock to fit on a Paper Company's Blond Columns textured cardstock base, both for the front and on the inside. The effect is quite formal and sophisticated. On the first layer I used Spellbinders Labels 8 and cut a label out of petallics ivory mettalic CS. I matted it with black CS and cut it carefully around the outside freehand with my scissors. On that label I used the Sizzix Swirl Embossing Plate to emboss a swirl pattern to coordinate with the pattern paper. I then used the Spellbinders Mega Ovals Scallop and then I used the Mega Ovals straight edge
As the embellishment, I used the Spellbinders L.E. Cross Collection, using a combination of crosses from the collection and layering with gold accents. I tied a creme ribbon edged chiffon bow onto the cross embellishment and topped the design off with Martha Stewart table confetti flowers in creme with gold beaded accents. Find these Spellbinder dies and so much more at Stamping Scrapping where you can have a shopping experience extravaganza!!!
For my loyal followers, this is my last post as a designer for my wonderful friend Cindy as I will be very busy with another assignment. Sad to leave as a designer but looking forward to a wonderful and continued friendship with Cindy, Kevin and all my designer friends....

Now for details on my card. I used sizzix embossing folders for the zebra and leopard print embossing. I have been waiting for animal print folders for so long. I used coredinations chocolate box and white was for my embossing. The Eiffel tower and the sentiment are cut from the new Summer in Paris cricut cartridge. I used a nestabilitie to hold my sentiment and threaded some ribbon through it. I then added some prima flowers and some making memories decorative pins, and some Kaiser Craft pearls for some excitement. I know I'll be shopping this great sale and I hope some of you can take advantage of it also!!!!

Mimosa Mother’s Day

 

IMAG0035

Hello friends!

This is Billie with another project for our Stamping Scrapping Design Team!  For this card, I decided to do a Mother’s Day theme since Mother’s Day is only one week away.  WOW!  Where has 2010 gone?

For this card, I used:

I decided to cut out Mimosa and the cute little bear and pop them up to make it appear that they’re talking.  She’s actually blowing kisses on the stamp, but I think this works okay too.  :o)

Remember:  May 9 is Mother’s Day!  Don’t forget to call all of the women in your life to wish them a Happy Mother’s Day…even if they aren’t your mother!  They’ll appreciate it! 

Have a FABULOUS Mother’s Day!

Billie
