"What greater thing is there" Love/wedding card

Hello Crafty Friends!  Kathy Jo here sharing a love/wedding card using the new stamp from Quietfire Design, What greater thing.   Such a lovely quote!

The stamp is the focus of the card front.  I usually use black ink for stamping quotes but could not resist using coordinating ink for the quote.

The wrinkle ribbon is from the Quietfire Design store.  Almost every time I order from Quietfire Design, I order more of the wrinkle ribbon.  I kept the ribbon ivory for this card but it is easy ribbon to dye.

The card was a cinch to put together.  While working on it, I realized that this would be a great card for a wedding invitation.  Would have loved to make this invitation for my wedding!  Wouldn't the "Love" die would look great on the card front and the quote on the inside?  May have to make that card and share!

Thanks for stopping by!  I do hope you enjoyed the card.  :)

Have a happy, crafty day!

Big Hugs,

Kathy Jo

"What greater thing" wedding/love card

Hello Crafty Friends!  

Last weekend my brother-in-law and his fiancee were in town for a visit.  He proposed to the wonderful woman earlier this year and they will soon be married.  I am so happy for them!  They are a perfect pair and so much in love.  It is great when fate brings two people together.  :)

The happy couple inspired this love/wedding card using Quietfire Design's "What greater thing is there" stamp set:

It was stamped onto ivory card stock and die cut using Spellbinders' Opulent Ovals dies.  The blue and patterned paper is from Graphic 45's Botanical Tea collection.

Behind the die cut sentiment/ovals is a die cut set of Becca Feeken's Graceful Floral Lace (Spellbinders). 

An elegant ivory bow and three wee flowers finished the card.  The sentiment is just gorgeous and I think any newly engaged or wed couple will love it!

Talking about love...you will love the newly released stamps from Quietfire Design!  Click here to drool over see them.

Thanks for stopping by and have a happy, crafty day!
Big Hugs,
Kathy Jo 

What Greater Thing is There

Hello!  I'm not a huge washi tape person - except to use them to hold my dies in place when I run them through the Big Shot - but I got this pink roll with swirls of gold in them and I really wanted to use them.  This new stamp from Quietfire Design was also just begging to be inked.  Hence the gold embossing!  I love gold embossing - and there's something about Suzanne's lettering that demands elegance.  

I gold embossed on vellum and there is a lavender color wash behind it - just hard to capture - and then I adhered the vellum using the gold threaded washi tape.  I added some Wild Orchid Flowers and green beads to finish my card.

Thanks for looking!

What Greater Thing Is There and Heart Flourish Mounted Stamp Set

Love for my best friend

This month is friendship month on the Quietfire Design blog so i created this card to give to my DH who is my very best friend in life.  The stamp i used is called "What greater thing" and is from our new release of cling rubber stamps.

I had to be a little more masculine but still couldn't resist putting on the pearls.  His favorite color is blue so i did it in light grey and blue with a pretty die cut in brown on the front.  The beautiful stamp i did with a dark navy ink and embossed it with clear powder.  This is such a beautiful stamp and really could be made to give to so many people in your life.  

Below is a photo of the stamp set... you also get that beautiful heart flourish with it.

And thank you for stopping by and be sure and check back soon.

Welcome to the 2017 Queen of Hearts Blog Hop!

Welcome to Quietfire Design's 2017 Queen of Hearts Blog Hop!

This week we're celebrating the release of the newest dies, stencils and stamps from Quietfire Design by sharing our best projects!

Before we get to the good stuff, I'll share my project!  I've been wanting to mask one of the diecuts for ages and I've finally got a plan together. I really love the subtlety of this project.
Here is how you can make it, too!

Supplies:

Quietfire Design - What Greater Thing is There & Heart Flourish Stamp Set 

A Way With Words – Together die   Quietfire site | Elizabeth Craft Designs Site

A Way With Stencils – Heart and Paw Prints Sprays stencil                                         Quietfire site | Elizabeth Craft Designs Site 

Imagine Crafts VersaMagic Midnight Black

Cardstock - Light Pink, Dark Pink, Black

Ranger Specialty Stamping Paper
Ranger Distress Ink Pads – Spun Sugar and Victorian Rose
Ranger Ink Blending Tool

Inkadinkadoo Stamping Mask Paper

Glue Dots Permanent GlueTape

Foam Adhesive

MISTI stamp positioner or similar

Die cutting machine

Scotch Removable Tape

 Instructions:

1.       Form a side-fold card base measuring 6” x 7.25” from dark pink cardstock. Cut a rectangle panel from Specialty Stamping paper measuring 5” x 6.5”.  Cut a panel slightly larger in pale pink to create a mat.  Cut another panel slightly larger again from black to mat the pale pink panel.

2.       Lightly sponge Spun Sugar in all over the white panel. Allow to dry.

3.       Die cut Together from Stamping Mask Paper. Weed out the counterspaces and peel the release paper from the back. 

4.       Adhere the mask near the bottom of the white panel as shown. (Designer Tip: If the Distress Ink is not dry, the mask will not stick to the cardstock!)  Lightly sponge over and around the mask with Victorian Rose.  Remove mask. The masking paper uses a removable adhesive so it is easy to peel off.  AND it’s reusable!

 

 

 

5.       Stamp the sentiment just above Together.  Allow to dry.  This is no time to smear it!

6.       Adhere the stencil in position with removable tape and lightly sponge the hearts with Victorian Rose. The stencil doesn't have to be straight.  Position it the way you'd like to see the spray arc over the quotation. I like the hearts to appear as if they are fading out.  If you happened to be using a larger piece of white paper, now is the time to trim it!

 

 

 

7.       Assemble the main panel with the mats behind as shown.  Adhere this to the card base with foam adhesive to give it a bit of dimension.  Lovely!

 



And now for the good stuff!
