Thinking of You Card

Hello everybody! 

I have some news for you that I’m so excited to share!  I’ve been selected as a member for the Rubber Café Design Team and I’d like to share with you my first project. 

For this summer card, I used the Thinking of You stamp from the J1095 J-1095 Fabulous Phrases set for my sentiment. 

I just love the elegance of this stamp set. I think it goes so well with the Want2Scrap™ Nestabling™ Labels Fourteen and Spellbinders™ Labels Fourteen #5.

I used dimensional adhesive to pop up the sentiment and surrounded it with some handmade velvet flowers.  Stitching was added to the edges along with a few beautiful 72 Count White Pearls at the top and a tiny little baby bling to dot the “I” in the center.

Here is a close-up:

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I can’t wait to see how you use your sentiments this summer. 

Have a great weekend everybody!!

The Perfect Touch to a Make-n-Take

Back in February I took a little Make-n-Take at a booth at CHA.  I think it was for Ranger and it showed us how to use their dauber inks to die some tags and ribbon.  SO MUCH FUN!  Well I’ve been wanting to finish it off and recently found the time to do so. 

I used our GORGEOUS Want2Scrap™ Finesse Swirls in Black Rhinestone to finish the bottom edge and then added some inked book words to the top in a quote I found in one of my old books. 

I LOVE how it turned out! It will go great in my studio downstairs.  It doesn’t take much to bump up or finish off a project with little additions like BLING!

Thanks for looking!
Michele
