You are my Sunshine...

Hello everyone,
Yvonne here with a Spring card using two Quietfire Design stamp sets:
"Butterflies/Dragonflies"

and
"Always be my Friend".

The card is all about stamping...both sentiment and background.

First stamp lots of butterflies onto white cardstock using green and grey inkpads and then trim the cardstock to the size you like.
Then use some brown and grey distress ink and an ink blending tool to alter the edges of the cardstock.
Glue the stamped background cardstock onto kraft cardstock (using 3D foam Squares) and then upon a white cardbase.

Stamp the  sentiment upon white cardstock using a black inkpad and cut a banner.
Mat the banner upon kraft cardtsock.
Glue the banner to the cardbase using 3D foam Squares.

Glue two flowers to the card and finally add some glitterglue to the butterfly wings.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Wishing you a wonderful and crafty day.

Hugs from Holland,
Yvonne

A special gift for a friend...

It's a beautiful Monday here on the blog today and i hope that you all had a wonderful weekend and maybe even got a few projects in to do for the holidays.  Today i have a box i made for a friend  and a matching card.

I used the "Always be my friend" set of stamps for the pretty sentiment on the top.  I used a burgandy colored ink to match with my rose colored papers and embossed it with clear to make it stand out.  I love to make these fancy little boxes and this one was fun and easy to make. 

Here is a view from the top so that you can see the gorgeous sentiment.  It's timeless and all three of the sentiments are great for cards and projects.  Thanks so much for dropping by today!

I love that you will always be my friend...

Hello!!  It's Wanda here today and I'm so glad you've stopped by!!!  

My project today uses one of the stamps from the Always Be My Friend set of 3, You are my Sunshine.   

Going from the bottom up, I have a layer of orange cardstock, then a layer of pink with the edges distressed, a white layer and then a layer of Shimmer Sheetz.  I used a little bit of alcohol ink on the shimmer sheetz, embossed it and then sanded the high spots lightly.  You are my Sunshine is stamped with Archival Ink jet black and then die cut with a stitched oval die.  The flowers are created using the Susan's Garden Notes Cosmos die set.  I die cut 2 stands from white cardstock, glued them together, embossed it doing half at a time as it is wider then the folder, inked the edges and folded.
