Stop!

Have I told you lately how much I love the new Spellbinders Lg Octagon nestabilities…? 

When I got my hands on them this is the first thing I made.   Someone says octagon?  I think of a stop sign.  So I replicated one to put it on my card, a Valentines Day Card.  This was seriously a fun, fun card to make.  I’ve had this truck sitting on my desk for a month just screaming to be water colored! 

The entire card opens from top to bottom where you can put another sentiment inside or leave it blank for writing.  The stop sign itself is a mini card that opens left to right and is perfect for a gift card!!  As I mentioned, I water colored this delightful truck then I used an alphabet set to stamp on the bottom of the card.  Lastly I cut a small heart from  the Spellbinders Scalloped Heart set and embossed the inside of the heart with a Versamark Pen and embossed with white embossing powder.  The Stop letters are also added with a Spellbinders alphabet.

Remember there are still prizes that are being given for the Spellbinders Blog Frenzy.  Pop in and visit Sharon Harnest of Paperfections today for the new die she is revealing and Sharon will outline those designers who are still scheduled for reveals!   If you have any questions at all about the rules to the contest or any details, please be sure to visit the Spellbinders Blog!

    Stop the presses Becca this is seriously cute.

    My white Chevy Silverado truck is now begging to be colored red! I suppose it’s possible its tired of just being muddy but I choose to think it wants in on the Valentine action. After all I fell in love with my husband in part because of his red Datsun wagon! – lol!

    I tend to forget how cute the words can look spelled out with alphabet stamps instead of searching for the perfect text stamp! I love that each letter has a little random kittywumpus thing going on.

    Wow – you do cute just as well as you do elegant! A stop sign was EXACTLY what I thought of when I saw the name of the set but then I scrolled down and saw your beautiful medallion frame and felt very humble. And today you do the stop sign, LOL!
