Edgeabilities

I could not resist this post.  Fond Memories in Walnut Grove  received their shipment of the new Spellbinders yesterday.  I have been planning for this purchase of all of the new Edgeabilities so just had to share.  You will be seeing a lot of cards with this in the future right here on my blog.  A few of the cards at the Fond Memories fall workshop  (Sept 24.) will use these too.  If you have not signed up for this go over to the Fond Memories site linked on the left of this blog for more information.   They fit really nice in the Quickutz folders for storage.

Picture Perfect..

  Picture Perfect is the Unity KOM 11/10 and is used for the Unity Stamps sketch challenge this month.  I used both sides of the DP for this card. It's never to early to start on those holiday cards.   A simple card that I hope you enjoy.

Blizzard in August

JustRite Friday Challenge #056 is a shaped holiday card or tag with a twist. (edit:  This is an honorable win in the challenge 056).   This can not be the traditional rectangle or square.  I decided to make a tag into a card.  The base of this is a Spellbinder Grand Labels 4.  I used two sizes and mounted my tag on this.  The tag is 3.25 in width with rounded corners.  The bottom has a Spellbinder Fleur.  Spellbinder mittens was used and distressed. A snowman from the Blizzard Bunch is the focus of the card.  Flower soft with glitter was added to the oval image.  Lace was added to the mitten for the cuff.   The sentiment again cut with a Spellbinder tag is from the Christmas mini-sentiments set.  The ribbon was distressed with Antique Linen and is a four bow. Distress ink was used on the edges of the oval, mitten, and labels four edges.
