Hello Crafters.
I am honored to be a Guest Designer this week at Through the Craft Room Door challenge blog where it is always Anything Goes! This week's challenge is sponsored by Decosse's Dynamite Doodles.
For my card I chose four patterned and solid tags from the Cotton Candy Collection. After printing I fussy cut the tags and mounted them on a dry embossed (Cuttlebug folder) die cut using Spellbinders Modern Stationary. The card base was light colored Kraft card stock die cut with the Modern Stationary. A blue banner from the Cotton Candy collection was heat embossed in white using the Happy Birthday sentiment from Quietfire Design's, Happy Birthday Plain and Simple.
Seam binding, a wee button and blue twine was added as shown. Bonus to the card design: it can be easily mailed. Yay! (I just high fived myself.)
A big THANK YOU to Cara at TTCRD and Lisa at Decosse's Dynamite Doodles! I do hope you all get to stop by both sites to see the lovely projects and digi designs!
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
Hugs,
Kathy Jo

Happy Mother's day!
I hope all of the mom's out there are having a perfect day!
This morning I played in the craft room for a while using Quietfire's new Thanks stamp. The stamp is so cool: it has an open area in the T to add bling, color, patterned paper, a notch out, texture, whatever, to make the Thanks look even more awesome. I stamped it out I don't know how many times to try out new things to do with the open area. Suzanne is so creative and clever!
At one point I realized that I should probably make a card. LOL Out came the Distress products! The newsprint paper had picket fence stain applied. Next, Thanks was stamped using black Archival. The T was colored using TH Distress markers in Worn Lipstick, Broken China and Scattered Straw. I made a tissue paper rose with Worn Lipstick and Scattered Straw. Picked Raspberry was used on the seam binding bow. The background was dry embossed using Couture Creations' Trellis folder. The raised areas were heat embossed in black and Broken China Stain applied.
So what do you think of the stamp? I am totally digging it. :)
Before I head out, I wanted to share photos I snapped of some of my spring blooms. They are from one of my gardens on the north side of our home.
This is the first garden to bloom every year and it is such a pleasure to see the garden come to life.
Looking so forward to the other gardens showing off! Don't you just love spring?
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have a great Sunday!
Hugs,
Kathy Jo
