Surprise: We welcomed twins into the family!

A joyous occasion for our family: My daughter and her husband welcomed twins! How wonderful it was a boy and a girl. No one in the family knew it was going to be twins so a great surprise to be meeting my newest grandbaby at the hospital on September 6th only to find out there were two babies. These are the cards I made using my favourite - and long retired - All for Baby stamp set and die bundle. The colours are a match to the baby blankets I crocheted for them. Feeling blessed indeed!

Softly Woven embossing feels like fabric!

The tight embossed pattern provided by the Softly Woven embossing folder is ideal for creating a fabric look to your paper. First I stamped the floral image from Radiant Sunflowers all over a piece of Cloud Cover cardstock then embossed the layer. Wow factor for sure! I added a simple greeting from the same stamp set and some rich jute twine to complete the look. Enjoy!

Paper Puzzling is a thing!

Get your Fab on with these bright bold fall colours: Calypso Coral, Secret Sea and Pool Party. These paper is so darling with autumn images. It cut a piece of 3" x 4" into 3 equal vertical strips then pieced them back together onto Cajun Craze leaving a wee bit of space between the strips. I'm puzzling all the time! Wishing you a fabulous day!

Puffy Sticker DIY

Time for another Halloween card! This time using the Rounded Rectangle punch on various patterns from the Frightfully Fun patterned paper. Those cut kitties and ghosts have stolen my heart. Did you know you can die cut your own "puffy" greetings and images? I did this by adding a small piece of our Foam Adhesive Sheet to the back of Basic Black cardstock then ran it through the Stampin' Cut and Emboss machine to die cut out the "Boo" salutation. Works perfectly with nice cuts and the negative pieces pull right out. Boo to you!

Zig Zag Paper Piecing Technique

Learned the Zig Zag Strip paper piecing technique by Heidi Collins over at On Y Go Stamping. All the strips are the same length, with varying heights. Add them to one side (in this case the bottom edge) and trim then add the leftovers to the opposite side (in this case the top edge). With that, I added a greeting, bow and embellishments to finish the card. Enjoy!
