In My Heart

I think it is all my years of piano that draw me to the sheet music and musical note papers and stamps.  The new Mini catalog has a set called Music from the Heart that is already one of my favorites and I have a few samples to share with you below.

The first two use some Pressed Petals designer series paper in the background - one uses Noble peacock rhinestones and other uses Designer elements for accents.

The oval is die cut using the Stitched Shapes framelits and the label below is die cut using the retired Stitched Seasons framelits.

The next two cards use the retired Brightly Gleaming specialty paper in the background...

I again used the Stitched Shapes framelits to die cut my sentiment layers...

and some retired Wood Textures designer series paper for accents...

Thank You

I am going to probably take a little (hopefully) break from sharing projects with you while we get the crops in the ground.  Hopefully it won't be a long break, but I never know how it will all go...

So the last card I will share for awhile uses the Share what you love specialty paper as the background for the Dandelion Wishes stamp set.  I added a couple stitched die cuts as well, using the Stitched Seasons and Rectangle Stitched framelits. 

There is also a strip of Old Olive card stock added to the side on the inside of the card.  It is about 3/4" long...

Blessed Christmas

One of my favorite Christmas stamp set and framelits combination ever is the Bethlehem Edgelits and Night in Bethlehem stamp set.  

I made quite a few of these card and used my stamparatus to line up the sentiment directly over the image.  If you die cut your shape and take the piece that the shape was cut from, place it on your stamparatus and then place the die cut back in the spot it was cut from it works great for placement. (Hope that made sense!)

I stamped some stars on Night of Navy card stock using metallic silver ink for my background and the city is die cut from Silver foil paper.

Grateful

Not too long ago, I was putting together some "friend" cards and wanted to use the sentiment below from the Country Home stamp set.  I decided to add "friend" from another stamp set above the sentiment and I did it by masking out "hello" on a stamp that said hello friend.  The stamp comes from the Happiness Surrounds stamp set (see below).

As in yesterday's card, I used some Joyous Noel specialty paper (you can understand why this paper is no longer available when you see all the patterns, it is just beautiful and they ran out more quickly than anticipated!).  The stamped layer was cut out with the Stitched Seasons framelits collection.

Window Thoughts

Awhile back I shared some cards using the Graceful Glass designer vellum paper that had been colored with the Stampin' Blends.  I still have more to share since we colored the entire package at one time - these two pieces of vellum come on the same 6" x 6" sheet and I cut them down to fit on a 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" card.

The one on the left has a die cut from the Stitched Seasons framelits and the one on the right uses a piece from the Delightfully Detailed laser cut specialty paper.  Both use a sentiment from the Wishing You Well stamp set.
