Hello friends. For those who celebrate I hope you enjoy this Easter weekend. How are all of you doing? Quarantine is weird. Some days I am fine and some days I find myself really missing my friends. Missing a great meal at my favorite restaurants or even just the simple pleasure of grocery shopping. Everything seems so stressful. But, I am so thankful that I have a craft room where I can escape and make pretty cards to send out.  Today my friend Laurie Willison has a new line of dies from Spellbinders called Effortless Greetings.  These are made to be use with the Glimmer Machine. The Glimmer Machine allows you to letterpress foil onto your projects.  For this blue card. I used the Framed Details hot glimmer plate. It has this sweeping branch leaves plate as well as a double rectangle frame (that I will show on other projects below), that I foiled in gold. Then using the same blue cardstock and gold foil, I used the Effortless Sentiment Glimmer "thank you" ...

I have a few projects posted on different blogs this week.  So I will share the photo, then the link on where you can get all of the details of my project. This week Lawn Fawn and Chameleon Pens are teaming up.  I created this fun treat bag with Halloween in mind.  Head on over to the Lawn Fawn Blog for more details! I made a "Boo" treat bag.  It is featured over on the Fancy Pants Designs Blog .  Head on over there for the full list of supplies that I used. I created this simple card, and it is featured on the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L blog . This shaped card and a full tutorial are on the Spellbinders Paper Arts Blog .

There are a few spring/summer collection releases from Fancy Pants Designs.  They are called Summer Sun & Making Waves, both have an undertone of nautical + summer, one being super bright and happy with yellows & pinks, and one more traditional with blues & reds.  I adore both of them tremendously.  Today, I am sharing a card using the Summer Sun collection. This combination of colors is one of my favorites, red/pinks, yellow and aqua.  I am always drawn to that combination, add in some whales and anchors and I'm a little smitten for sure!  When you buy a collection, it makes the process so easy, because it all perfectly coordinates!! 1.  Trim cardstock 3 3/4 inches by 5 1/2 inches. 2.  Adhere pattern paper panel to card by using foam tape. 3.  Die cut hearts into a panel of pattern paper. 4.  Using different pattern paper, again die cut hearts. 5.  Adhere the panel to the card using foam squares....

Hello there!! Today along with Julia & Teresa , we each made a project using the new Chapel die from the AGL line from Spellbinders.  This die set creates these super cute little churches, but if you wanted it to be a house you could just omit adding the steeple. Please go visit Julia & Teresa's blogs as well, to see how they used this die set!! So here is what my finished project looks like.  I made an ornament for my Christmas tree.  So fun!! I die cut some Oh Deer! pattern paper from Fancy Pants Designs.  Then I used some of the metallic wax from Deco Arts, to add a little bit of a patina/aged look.  This was is super easy to use, you just wipe it on with a rag or a paper towel, and it dries fast as well. To me, it seemed easier to add the wax on before it was completely assembled, than after. You want to use a strong adhesive to adhere it all together. To finish it off, I add glitter, tons and tons of glitter.   ...
