"Sometimes I just lookup"

 Hello Crafty Friends!  Kathy Jo here sharing a card using the lovely new stamp from Quietfire Design, "Sometimes I just look up":

The sentiment was stamped using Jet Black Archival ink on ivory card stock and die cut using Spellbinders Opulent Ovals.  Next lilac card stock was die cut using Spellbinders Fleur de Elegance.  Gold card stock was die cut using Spellbinders Majestic Oval.  The last die cut: ivory card stock using Spellbinders A2 Filigree Delight.  Bo Bunny's rose patterned paper was cut to size and mounted onto a tent fold lilac card.  The finishing touch was three roses adhered as shown.

Here is a closeup of the beautiful sentiment:

The sentiment is so uplifting.  Every time I see it I fondly think of my mom, smile and think of all of those times that she has been with me.  It is a heartwarming thought.

Thank you very much for stopping by!  I do hope you enjoyed the card.
Have a happy, crafty day!
Big hugs,
Kathy Jo

Just living is not enough...

Hello Crafty Friends!  Kathy Jo here sharing a happy card using Quietfire Design's lovely stamp, Just living is not enough:

Green card stock was die cut using Spellbinders' Wreath die set.  The larger wreath die cuts had Inka Gold applied as shown.  Light green patterned paper (Basic Grey Serenade) was dry embossed, covered with Distress Ink (Picket Fence) and heat embossed.  It was layered on polka dot paper from the same paper collection.  The tent fold base was created using orange card stock
