Permission to Create

Quietfire Design - Floral Thank You - Spellbinders Exquisite Labels Eleven, Spellbinders Majestic Labels Twenty Five, Spellbinders Classic Ovals SM
Good morning blog friends!!  I wish I could show you what I have laid out in my craft room.  I’ve been so inspired to create and rather than put off that wonderful feeling, I decided to run with it. From one end of the counter to another I gave myself permission to start things that are not finished.   I have tons of dies cut and the basics of many cards laying, ready for more inspiration to hit.  Do me a favor, give yourself permission to do that too.  It doesn’t have to be perfect, it just has to be.  Today’s card came quickly, just when I needed a quick card.  I started out with the gorgeous set of stamps from Quietfire Design using the beautiful rose and oval sentiment from the Floral Thank You set.   Oh, and I colored – that doesn’t happen often, but when it does, it has to be easy.

WRBF-3946-2013

My card base is made with Spellbinders Exquisite Labels Eleven using the Filigree Hinged Card Base tutorial I’ve shown before.  That leaves me a platform to layer on Spellbinders Majestic Labels Twenty Five  followed by two levels of Spellbinders Classic Ovals SM.

Here is your Step-by-Step Recap from the bottom up:  Start out with a card base cut using Exquisite Labels Eleven (stenciled), foam tape, die cut layer using Majestic Labels Twenty five, foam tape, die cut layer using Classic Ovals SM, foam tape, die cut layer using Classic Ovals SM.  Add pearls and ribbon.

    Gorgeous, and I have the regular 25 labels this will look great with that set, another die on my wish list. You and Spellbinders are going to put me in the dog house with my hubby, but that’s okay he and my son spend more on all the hunting, fishing, camping, gun shooting that I could never catch up!!ReplyCancel

  • Charlotte ZweigoronAugust 8, 2013 - 1:34 pm

    I’m going to make one of these today for a birthday that popped up on my facebook!! Probably, there won’t be any coloring but I might get brave… That bow looks familiar but different; sort of curved at the sides. Is that a new technique or just the way the ribbon folded (like the way a cookie crumbles)!!
    I love these filagree looking die cuts and the beautiful cards you make with them!!ReplyCancel

    Hi,
    Your cards are wonderfully beautiful. I love your work.
    I am new to cardmaking and its my fascination with spellbinders that helped me find your blog.
    Your work inspires me. I have learnt a great deal already.
    Right now I am working on building my “supplies ” which is a bit of a challenge since I live in St. Kitts and there are no craft stores here..but I press on.
    Again wonderful work. God bless, yours in Christ …ReplyCancel
