January 2012

Most of you are probably familiar with Cath from the Moxie Fab World Blog and Trends Editor for Paper Crafts Magazine (two of my favourite places to look for inspiration). Due to rotary cuff injury, Cath has been in a lot of pain lately and was unable to make her usual trek to CHA. To lift her spirits, bloggers Virginia and Lorena have organized a little blog hop of well wishes for Cath.

Here is my card, which was inpired by a card by Julie Ebersole, AND the Winter Blossoms Tuesday Trigger that Cath posted. I made this at the shop to go with The Paperie’s new feature “One little stamp” – this week we’re featuring the Hero Arts Dandelion and I’ve pinned some other awesome ideas on our Pinterest Board. (I spy my all-time favourite Virginia Lu card on that board).

I also used the Hero Arts Artistic Circles background stamp and a HA sentiment too. Cheers Cath!

It’s been a long time since I played along with a Tuesday Trigger, but when I saw this image it conjured up all kinds of ideas.

I pictured white embossing on kraft, florals and lace, etc. Of course I could not find my white embossing powder, so I went in a different direction tonight when I saw that the deadline had been extended. The soft colours of kraft, pink and yellow inspired my card…

Although this isn’t the idea I originally had in my mind, I like how it turned out. Here’s a close-up of that wooden button which was not easy to part with, I’m not going to lie. Love those KaiserCrafts wooden flowers too (both were parts of the December Paperie Club Kit). The shimmery Seashell paper is from Envelopments and it is my all-time favourite cardstock.
