Hello Crafteteers!
I am honored to say that I am the Guest Designer at Crafting By Designs! The challenge is "Think Warm Thoughts/Spring". Perfect idea for January...let's think spring!
One of my favorite flowers is the daffodil. It is such a pleasure to see these magnificent beauties after all the snow has melted. They are just so bright and cheerful. What a great flower to start springtime!
For my spring card I used Heartfelt Creations Daffy Daffodils stamp set. The daffodil was heat embossed in gold on vellum paper. Tim Holtz distress markers were used to color the image. The vellum was adhered to ivory paper die cut using Spellbinders Opulent Ovals. The card base is Spellbinders' Diamond Effects (don't you just love that die?!).
The inside of the card has Happy Birthday (sentiment from Inspired by Stamping's Vintage Frames).
Thanks so much to the talented crafters at Crafting by Designs for allowing me to be a guest designer today!
Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
Hugs,
Kathy Jo

Hello Crafteteers!
I would like to share a card I finished last night. It was too fun making a faux silk background card, playing with my new paper (Zephyr from Prima) and one of my favorite Spellbinders (Opulent Ovals). Time just flew by in my little crafty room! Don't you just love creating?
I can't even guess what layout number this was for me. First I had it vertical, then a larger size, smaller size, rotated it, smaller size, different dies, different inks, etc. It was one of those nights that to try out new techniques, dies and stamps. This ended up being my favorite layout so I secured every bit down and reluctantly went to bed. Ah...if only our winning lotto numbers could hit so that I could go into work later...or have more days off! :)
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!
Hugs,
Kathy Jo
