Hello to all my fellow craftaholics! I have a little secret way to help keep your crafting costs down and still use some beautiful pattern papers! If you have a color printer there are some sites that have the nicest papers to download. The two main ones I use are lianascrap.com (this one is very easy to use) and farfarhill.blogspot.com (this one has TONS of papers but is a little more involved). Granny Enchanted has a informative and amusing tutorial to guide you thru the download process for the Far Far Hills papers, just go here! So how does this save you money? You only need to print the paper you're going to use! No half used pattern paper stacks! Plus you don't need something to store all those papers! I see this as a win-win! Now when I get the "I need to buy papers" urge, I go to one of these websites, choose some paper and download it! Usually lol. I admit I do still buy some papers but they have to be pretty special. So on to the card! I used some papers for this one from Liana Scraps and amazingly enough the papers I chose match Stampin' Up! inks!
Ooopsy! Um, Happy Saturday (?) everyone! Somehow my Wednesday blog entry didn't get posted!, Don't know what happened to it but here's the weekly card crafting idea! We'll be making a tag/card! If you're giving a gift, it makes an excellent addition to your wrappings no matter what the event!

Did you like the sentiment stamp I used for the inside of the card? It's rather quite nice! I found it on aliexpress.com and you can find it here!

Happy Wednesday everyone! I have a bright and cheery birthday card to share with you today. I picked out a panel from the Birds & Blooms pattern paper with a darling, fat little blue bird for the focal point. I'll also be using a super cool cut and emboss border die? folder? What WOULD you call it? Anyways, it both cuts and embosses at the same time. The card sentiments came from a stamp set I found on aliexpress.com and you can find it here! You can get some wonderful stamps and dies on that website at excellant prices, you just need to be patient because it does take a looooooong time to get to you!
Once again I'm combining Stampin' Up! with Heartfelt Creations products to make this card. We'll be using the beautiful silver embossing paste and the brick mask from the Pattern Party Decorative Masks, both from Stampin' Up! to make the glamorous background! Add some shaped roses and ribbon and that completes the card! Since there isn't any lace (how in the world did that happen?!?) you *could* even give this card to a guy!
And here we have it! Yet another more way to use the 3D Grand Cabinet die set from Spellbinders! I'm sure getting a lot of use from this die set and I keep coming up with different ways to use it!
Did I promise to tell where I got those cute little metal roses? I found those here and I got the premade mulberry paper gardenias on the other card here.
