Bordering on Romance Done Softly

It's been a week since I've been able to post and I've sure missed being with you all.  Hope you missed me just a little bit. :)  I could go into a long explanation but I'm afraid it will sound like a lot of excuses so I'm not going to go there.  Just know that I'm glad to be back!

Today I would like to share a soft and pretty thank you card using the stamp set Bordering on Romance.  It's from the Occasions Mini Catalog and I can't believe it's the first time I'm getting to use it.  I love the sweet flowers in this set but what's really fun is the borders that coordinate with the edgelits dies that I didn't actually use in today's card.  I'm saving those for another day. :)

The Stitched-Poly Ribbon is a fun ribbon to work with.  I love the white edges and the feel.  It's available in the 2010 - 2012 In Colors which will only be available until the end of June.  If you haven't ordered this ribbon in the past consider it in your next order.  You won't be disappointed.

The flowers are fussy cut and popped up with dimensionals which makes them feel like they are floating on the embossed layer.  I colored them with ink pads and a blender pen.  And yes...that's the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder again.

For those of you that are local - this is one of the cards that you can choose to make this Thursday at the I Love Cards Buffet.  This class is for beginners or advanced card makers.  You choose what cards and how many of each you would like to make.  What a great way to add to your stash of cards to send to family and friends or to copy over and over again. The fee is $12 for 5 cards or Free with an order of at least $25.  Additional cards are $1.50 each and can be made if time permits. Click Here to register for class.  Even though the time is listed as 6:30pm feel free to arrive 1/2 hour early.

Welcome to the Hoppers Easter Blog Hop!

The Hoppers are back with another fun Blog Hop!  This time it's all about Easter. Hop from blog to blog for some great Easter ideas.  I hope you are ready for loads of inspiration and a chance to win a fantastic prize. All you need to do is visit each blog and leave a comment.  Then on Easter Day - April 8th a random name will be drawn and the winner announced. 

The Prize is a Stampin' Up! Pack of Designer Series Paper, a Stamp Set, and a Roll of Ribbon!  So don't miss out - make sure you leave a comment on every blog for a chance to win.  The winner will be contacted by email and their name will be announced on our blogs.  Make sure that information is in your comment.

The project I would like to share with you today is a cute Easter Purse that holds a yummy treat!  I cut a piece of Pool Party card stock 4-1/2" x 8" and scored it at 2-1/2, 3-1/4, 5-3/4, and 6-1/4 inches. The Edgelit Die was placed on the edge with the short fold and the run through the Big Shot.  I used the coordinating Embossing Edgelit for more detail and the Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper (2-1/2" x 4-1/2") because you all know that's my favorite!  And isn't she the sweetest bunny? You'll find her in the Everybunny Stamp Set.  The coloring was done with the 2012 - 2013 in color ink pads and a blender pen.

I designed this purse because I didn't have a treat holder in my bag of tricks to fit the Russell Stover Caramel Eggs.  Yum...they are one of my favorite Easter Treats!  Who am I trying to kid...I love all chocolate candy and when you add caramel I'm in heaven.  lol

The Fashionable Hearts Embosslits

I'm excited!  Some of my downline will be coming over this afternoon to stamp and swap cards.  We always have a lot of fun stamping and sharing. I love the swap card I made and thought about sharing it with you today. Problem is...I'm afraid they may visit my blog before the meeting and it will spoil the surprise.

So today I decided to share this cute clean and simple 3"x3" note card that features the Fashionable Hearts Embosslits.  They are a new product in the Occassions Mini Catalog.  The die, cuts and embosses all at once, when you run it through the Big Shot.  There are six different sizes of hearts each with a different embossing pattern.  They range in size from small to tiny.

This card uses one of the larger hearts with the polka dot embossing pattern.  Each heart was folded in half before being glued in a flower pattern.  Lots of dimension and texture.  A fun little note card to have on hand.

Have a wonderful day and stop back tomorrow to see my swap.  It features the Everyday Enchantment Designer Paper.
