Hello Friends,
Sorry about the BasicGrey sneak peek in my last post. I wasn’t notified of a change ….. I will let you know next Tuesday when it will be on the BasicGrey blog.
My mom was wondering when I was going to finish her Christmas gift that she saw on my blog!! Well….here you go mom! Hope you like them 🙂
 |
| This is how they look all packaged up with envelopes and stamps. Love this nice and heavy vellum from Simon. I cut, scored and wrapped the cards in the vellum. The big yummy button was in the Jan card kit too. |
 |
| This is a another take on my “unfinished” card set. Don’t you love all of these fun prints? The paper was included in my Simon Says January card kit but, you can get if from Lily Bee called “Persnickety” |
 |
| After I die cut the hearts with Simon Says Stamps exclusive die cuts I traced the hearts with the marker. This extra step really makes them stand out. BUT…do it quickly or the paper will bleed to much. |
 |
| If you will be stamping onto a die cut  place the die cut (my banner) back into the negative space and  the banner will stay in place so you can stamp easily onto it without it moving. See the top of the photo. |
 |
| Have you seen these banners before? Love how they add so much to my card set. I changed the score lines that are on the die cut to accomodate the sentiment in the front of the photo because it was longer than the other ones. |
 |
| These are all of parts before assembling. I considered letting my mom have some fun and be able to play around with it but, nixed that idea. Here is project that I did before where the recipient could play around and add hearts and the sentiments. |
 |
| Just zeroing in on the sentiments from this stamp set…so many great ones. |
 |
| Rock Candy distress stickles made my hearts have a nice subtle shimmer. Thanks for your visit and have a great weekend. See you next week for the Hero Arts Blog HOP!! So excited to be participating! Lots of prizes and giveaways…fun..fun! See you soon! Hugs, Kathy |
