Not a crafty weekend for me... took a little break (no mojo!). So I've decided to post a card a made a few weeks back:
This is another sentiment from the Verve set "Words of Wisdom"... love it. Love stamping with white ink lately too...
I have had that little pink metal flower for YEARS... hoarding it away... well I finally broke down and put it to use.
Finished the inside as well:
Stamps:
Verve - Words of Wisdom
Just Rite - Classic Lace Edges Two
Waltzingmouse Stamps - Vintage Labels 2
Paper:
SU's Whisper White & Crumb Cake, Basic Grey Basics, Pebbles "Country Picnic"
Dies:
SB - classic edges 2 & labels 2
MFT - squiggle
Ink: SU Mauve Mist, Colour Box frost white
Extras:
adhesive pearls, sewing, Martha Stewart craft seam binding, metal flower
Enjoy your week!!

...well... more "flourish-y" (if that's a word - and I doubt it is, lol), but I just had a hankerin' to go all flourishes & pearls on this one.
I used the exact same stamp as with this card... and even some of the same paper; guess I should clean up my craft desk a little more often. 8)
I love this Verve stamp of a Winnie the Pooh quote because it reminds me of my two little sweet nieces... not that they are things... but you know what I mean.
I took a side pic of all the layers... what the heck did we do before foam tape?!!
I sponged the edges of the paper (with Memento Grey Flannel) after distressing and then rolled up the 4 corners. I once again used the Vintage Labels 10 stamps from Waltzing Mouse as two of my layers. Love love love adding subtle colour with these stamps!!
Feeling a bit out of touch at the moment - I'm missing my e-mail at home which is still down and now my phone is out. It's funny how much we rely on these things. Thank goodness for blogs & facebook! LOL
Thanks for stopping by again today and I do love hearing what you think of my cards - especially today since I'm certainly not hearing from anyone else! haha

Hello! I'm back to try another Waltzingmouse Challenge again today. I used one of my favorite sets that coordinates beautifully with Spellbinders... Vintage Labels 10.
For the largest of the label 10 dies, I used white ink on craft paper and then the next two layers both use SU Mauve Mist. Love the soft vintage designs of these stamps!! Of the sentiment sets that I have from WMS, I didn't have anything that would fit inside of the smallest dies, so I went with one I had from Verve.
Because I used Pebbles "new arrival" paper with birds, I thought I would just complete the card with a bird theme and so added the Poppystamps dies (vintage bird cage & nestled bird).
I stuck to the sketch as much as possible - I'm terrible for never getting them exact. But I'm happy with the turn out. Here's the inside with the little birdcage:
Stamps:
Waltzingmouse Stamps - Vintage Labels 10
Verve - Smallest Things
Just Rite - Classic Lace Edges Two
Paper:
Bella's Bestest paper, Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Basic Grey "basics", Pebbles "new arrival" & "country picnic"
Dies:
SB - classic edges 2, labels 10, floral flourishes
MFT - rolled rose, squiggle border
Memory Box - meridian border
Poppystamps - vintage bird cage & nestled bird
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black & SU Mauve Mist, Colorbox frost white
Extras:
adhesive pearls, sewing, pink ric rack
Well that's it for me. Back tomorrow for Bellariffic Friday!! If you'd like to enter, be sure to e-mail your card to Emily tonight. See you then!!

Hello All! Just popping in with another Stamping Bella card. Felt like "making pretty" today but not a wedding or bridal shower card. I was going for a BFF-Classy-Lady-U-R-Fabulous look - lol. So, I choose to use Wedding Gown Circle ... in a non-wedding-gown card.
I love the soft colours of green & blue together even though I remember from my childhood days, "blue and green should never been seen"... ring a bell for anyone else - lol?
Glitter is a MUST for anything under a heading of Pretty... but I'm not sure it has to be plastered on like I did here - haha! I kind of went to town, but ended up liking the result. Also added glitter to my MFT royal rose flowers as well.
To convey the exact message I wanted for my card I used sentiments from 3 different companies and crossed my fingers in the hopes it all came together okay.
Here's the inside:
