 
Good morning blog friends! First things first, I will be doing a tutorial on how I attached the border on the card from Monday HERE. :-) I’m tied up right now and have a release to get through, but I promise I will do it and you are gonna love how to do this!! Just promise you will watch this space. Squeal, you all were so nice about my card that I’m going to be giving away that card – all the more reason to just keep peeking. So on to todays card, isn’t this new Spellbinders Heirloom Oval a piece of gorgeousness? I knew it would be perfect to highlight the new Sentimental Flowers set by JustRite Papercraft. It’s perfect for those who like to fussycut and there are SVG files HERE for those who need it cut quickly.
For added victorian accent I used Spellbinders Victorian Corners to draw your eyes to the out corners of the card. My flowers are colored with Spectrum Noir Markers and the background paper is one of my favorites from DigitalbyJanet (I’ve used it several times).
The JustRite Designers had a chance to play with these delightful sets – be sure to stop by and see what they dreamed up.
Question Parking Lot
Good morning blog friends, I have a sweet new sentiment by Quietfire Design called Give Thanks and you guessed it, I’m using it for a Thanksgiving Card. Normally I’m off to dinners at a friends house over the holiday, so over the course of the season I make a couple of elegant cards to bring along for the occasion. This card has been languishing on my work table for a couple of weeks while I second guessed if the border could live on the left hand side or not. Lol, I’m being brave today! I’m always looking for some way *not* to make the same cards over in any case, I absolutely love the Spellbinders Mary Border Strip this is my first time to use it!
The pennants on the card were simply cut with scissors. To get the border in place I simply cut four border strips then used the border to cut the left edge of the card. I glued the gold edging on top of the cream on the inside and outside of the card. :-) Can’t wait to try this out on the bottom of a card too!

Good morning friends! Today is release day for Waltzingmouse Stamps and three new sets and two dies are now available – Flurries, Jolly Old Elf and Elf Made as well as a series of two label dies – Pretty Panels #1 and Pretty Panels #2. You can see them in full HERE. For the blog hop today please know you can always get your bearings by popping over to the Waltzingmouse Blog, otherwise if you’ve just come from Tosha’s blog, you’re in the right place and I am at the end of the line today. Be sure to visit the Waltzingmouse Blog for the details on a Pin-it to Win it Contest.
For my 5-3/4″ square card today the inspiration came from the matting layer of Pretty Panels #1. This was pushed around on my desktop all week and in the end I decided that I would build it into a dainty border in which I could showcase Snowflake 1 Die and a pretty stamped snowflake from Flurries. Do you see it? I simply took the matting layer and laid one across the other like a ‘+’, I thought that was pretty spiffy. Never one to exercise restraint, I did it again, so my bordering layer consists of 4 matting layer outlines all crisscrossed like an “*” asterisk you can see the progression below.
I used the Stitched Tags Die Set for my sentiment and cut a notch out of the end. The gorgeous round die is a new die from Spellbinders called Spellbinders Royal Circle.
This adorable little elf was too cute not to make up a quick box and stamp him on a tag. He’s from the Elf Made set and there are a bunch of stamps that will work for your little ones and big little ones – if you know what I mean. I stamped and embossed the snowflake from Flurries onto a gable box and stamped the elf on the largest tag from the Stitched Tags Die Set. All in all, ready to go in less than 10 :-)
If you joined in to the hop midstream, you can start at the beginning by visiting Julia Aston. In the meantime, thanks so much for stopping by and I’ll see you soon!!

Love this – it might be an odd thing to say, but If this card had a scent I think it would smell of parma violet sweets (do you have those in the US?
