Here's my card using both sides of a 12 x 12 sheet of Kaisercraft Notre-Dame DSP from the Bonjour collection  and featuring AnnaBelle Stamps Fanciful Flowers.  This beautiful set stamps so well directly to the self patterned  side of the DSP.

Scrapbook Boutique - XOXO

Hello all,






Today I'm sharing a card made for Scrapbook Boutique, using a Penny Black image that is just so cute!
I'm in love with this beautiful DSP from Authentique called Gathering and built the card around it. It's such good quality, thick, with the reverse of each sheet the same solid colour.

I've also used a couple of dies,  Prima Donna Petals from Die-namics a three layer die and the two scalloped buttons are from Memory Box.

You can find all the details for this card over at the Scrapbook Boutique Blog with my product list listed below.





Thanks for taking the time to call past.......See you soon.

AnnaBelle Stamps Say It With.........

ac064


Hi Blogger's,

It's Friday again so time for AnnaBelle Stamps challenge. This week we've been challenged to Say It With Backgrounds by Design.  Join in with us, please. All you need to do is use your background stamps......if you don't own any yet go check out the store, Andrea has some fabulous sets.


For my card I've CASED a layout from my favourite CAS card maker Laurie Willison. I'd love to be able to link you back to the card on her blog, but I saw this card on PINTEREST and though I scrolled through her blog couldn't find it.

Anyway here's my card.........Just a Note.




I've used some bright yellow card (for a change) and teamed it with black.  The embossing folder is Cuttlebugs 'Spots and Dots' and I've die cut Die-namics 'Musical Notes' using the same yellow card from American Crafts.

Don't forget to go visit the Belle's to enjoy their projects this week. Links are under the D T  tab at the top of my page.  If you don't have a blog you can still join in with us. Add your card to the Gallery at Stamp, Embellis, Create adding the TAG ac064.

I hope you have a good week end planned, thanks for calling past this week.  See you soon....
