Remembering You

Hello Crafters!

Yesterday I shared the butterfly birthday card using a new Quietfire stamp set and Bo Bunny's Weekend Market paper pad.  Today I am sharing another card using the same paper and a stamp from the new Quietfire stamp set Garden Bench Collection.  

I applied Tim Holtz' Distress Stain in Picket Fence to the papers and used the heat gun to dry it right away.  (Using the heat right away gives the paper a white wash finish whereas if I had let it soak into the paper it would have been very subtle.)  The papers were die cut using Spellbinders Labels Twenty Eight, A2 Devine Eleoquence and Romantic Rectangles Two.

The Quietfire Garden Bench Collection contains the following stamps.  The "If You Can't Say Something Nice" is a hoot!  :)  

 

all of the new stamps released at Quietfire are on sale right now for 20% off.  Also, there is a Spellbinders sale, too.  Here is the link to the sale.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a good Sunday and to my peeps down in the States, have a great Memorial Day weekend!
Hugs,
Kathy Jo

Here is my project that I've created for today's hop.  

It is getting close to Christmas so I am working on cards that I can easily make several in a night.  This card is not very time consuming, has some fun texture with the corrugated base and is not too CAS.  :)

The paper (Lily Bee Design's Jingle paper pad) and twine (Holly Berry) are from Trendy Twine (another wonderful sponsor on our hop).  Also used were Spellbinders Labels Thirty One and Decorative Labels Twenty Eight, and  JustRite Christmas Antique Labels One stamp set.
