Vintage Time

This is been a really busy time for me but wanted to get a card posted.  This is a beautious design by Carolyn King who I just love to copy.  A sentiment from Tiny Tiny Wishes with the Word Window punch will work for many occassions.  Everything was sponged with Crumb Cake except the clock.

If my Grandma was still with us, this would be her card.

Natural Composition

I recently purchased the new Natural Composition Specialty Designer Paper Series collection and went straight to the web to surf out some ideas. (No surprise.)  I ran across a card made by a fellow member of the TOPICS stamp group, Kirsteen Gill from Katy, Texas via Scotland.  She mentioned how beautifully this paper took to sponging and she had the cutest little rose bud on her card tucked behind a butterfly punched from my new favorite Elegant Butterfly Punch.  I had to give both a whirl.  As Harry Caray would say, “HOLY COW!”  Sponging this paper is amazing!!!!  Not a card to mail but definitely a stunning success!

Thanks to Kirsteen for her inspiration and rose tutorial.

Promised Doilies

I promised my customers that we would have some doilies in our August camp.  Teamed up with the Sizzix Delicate Doilies Sizzlet, the Lacy & Lovely stamp set fashions a very classy card.  The sentiment in this stamp set and Basic Pearls really add the finishing touch.  This is truly an all occasion card.
