TGIF.....

There is only one little thing on this card that is a "use it up" item so I felt it would be a little weird to post this one under "use it up Friday". See that cute little tag? It was from a tag sheet I purchased about 6 years ago. I found a bunch of them recently when I was 'organizing' my stash. LOL! I love the vintage feel of this card.

Wednesday - Cards I Love. . . .

This is the week of ribbon ruching. Most of the cards I have made for the week have ribbon roching. I tried it with seam binding, taffeta, satin, and even poly stitched! It was fun to do. I will do a technique video soon -just in case you haven't tried this yet for yourself. I really like the way it looks.

Tuesday Tip

I don't do tags very often. Mainly, because I don't have a clue what to do with them. They seem like a lot of effort for such a little thing...LOL! Today's card is built around a tag. It is  a simple tag, but I think it works on this card. You should try it too. Take a simple tag or a more elaborate tag that you love, and build a card around it.

Technique Thursday

Repeating patterns with different color.... it may be a bit of a stretch as far as calling it a "technique" but it sure looks really pretty. I stamped in versamark on 4 different colored CS and used gold embossing powder, and then 'fussy' cut the leaves. This isn't a card to mass produce, but it didn't take as long as I thought it would.

Paper: Early Espresso CS #119686, Wild Wasabi CS #108641, More Mustard CS #100946, Whisper White CS #100730, Autumn Spice Specialty DSP #120808
