Adding layers really steps up your card

Way to add layers to a card with a clean colour palate of the new Hydrangea Hue and white with a little hint of Peaceful Pine in the patterned paper. I count 6 layers including the cardbase which was over the top for our recent swap criteria! This really demonstrates how just two colours - Basic White and Hydrangea Hue - adding varied textures and layers packs a lot into one project. Enjoy!

Using Everyday Arches for layering on a card

Sometimes it's the patterned paper that makes the card! So it is with this delicate colour combination from the Velvet Meadow 12 inch x 12 inch pack. Today's card was designed by Genevieve Ko and I love how the layers are highlighted using the Everyday Arches dies instead of a rectangle. Thanks, Gen for this pretty card.

Soft subtle greeting with the Lily of the Valley bundle

I was thrilled to receive today's stunning card from Mary Louise Hamill for our new catalogue swap! There is so much texture in the popped up layers against the soft shading of the embossing folder. To me this card would be perfect for all occasions including sympathy and thinking of you with its delicate touches. Thanks, Mary Louise!

Sunset Coast card resplendent of Lake Huron sunsets

I live a mere 2 hour drive from some of the very best sunsets on Lake Huron in Ontario. It's always a wonderful sight to see - when you're visiting the area, you just have to go down to the beach every night to see their magnificance.

Today's card received in a swap reminds me that susnet watching days are coming soon! This paper is aptly names Scenic Coast and a must have with Golden Clow cardstock. Enjoy!

Fluttering By to Say Hi with All Aflutter Bundle

At the Scrapford Crop I attended end April, I was busy with my head down making the cards for upcoming classes. This one came together wonderfully according to my vision for it: using this stunning copper foil accented pattern paper with heat embossed butterflies across the front. Surprised at how well the copper went with Secret Sea and Gray Granite tones. This design is featured in my May Avid Stampers class where you make 4 cards and take home the All Aflutter Stamp Set and Punch bundle. Sign up here
