Thinking of You

Before putting together this card, I had been playing with the Ornate frames dies  and had cut out a few of each shape.  I chose this one for the sentiment that comes from the Greatest Part of Christmas stamp set.

The outside frame was made with the Stitched Rectangle framelits and I added some Fancy Frost specialty paper underneath it.

Supplies:

Greatest Part of Christmas

Night of Navy ink

Mint Macaron, Whisper White card stock

Fancy Frost specialty paper

Paint My World

This past weekend I was fortunate to spend time with some great friends at a stamping and scrapbooking retreat.  These weekends go by way too fast...

I like to put a little something on everyone's table during these retreats and this time I die cut a bunch of pieces of card stock, embossed a piece of card stock like the one in the card and added a little of the matching designer series paper for them to play with if they wanted to.

The embossed piece is Pacific Point that was embossed with the Button Button folder and I used some Follow your art designer series paper and embellishments along with the coordinating It Starts With Art stamp set.
