Clearly fun…

Published by Julia Stainton at 10:35 am under Card Designs

Sigh….still no modem! I’m so glad I had this design already uploaded into an unpublished blog post as it gives me something to share with you today. Trying to work on-line from another computer without my files is just not fun! But I had to check in anyway sooooo….. :) Wow…you just don’t know how much you rely on the internet until you can’t access it! I’m missing you all!

I had so much fun making this card! No stamping on it but that’s OK sometimes…right? I had these new Cosmo Cricket Rub-ons to try out and they really seemed to go well with the look of the design. I have this Transparency Quote Stack by Die Cuts with a View. So fun! I just love transparencies and this quote wonderful! I’m blessed to have a lot of wonderful friends that support me and help me be my best….well, I’m still working on that part. :)

This design uses the 6×6 Romani Paper pack from Basic Grey. I used various patterned papers and inked their edges with Pumpkin Pie ink. I love the fun pink and orange color combo. So fresh and fun!

To use the transparency, I brushed some white paint behind the transparency to help make the quote stand out. To attach it I stitched along the top and adhere it under the friends paper strip. The same paper is used to form a little tab near the top left to draw attention to the little rub-on sentiment there. Have you ever tried rub-ons? I love stamping but they make a fun change and I love all the different surfaces you can apply them to!

Patterned Paper: 6×6 Romani paper pack - Basic Grey

    Great card! Yeah, my husband teases me about how much time I spend on the internet. He asked me just last night “don’t you ever get sick of looking at blogs so much”…ummmm…NO!

    Love this card, Julia!
    Could you tell us the overall size?
    Also — I go looking at Primas and hyperventilate and don’t know which is what… which variety is that GAWGEOUS blossom?

    Thanks!

    Hi Julia, Sorry about your modem troubles; hope the new one arrives PDQ! I love this card; this is one of my favorite color combos; I think that quote came from the stack I bought recently; need to put it to use! TFS!

    This is gorgeous…stamping or not!! I love it!

    My internet was down tonight for about 4 hours, and I just about went nuts. I know exactly how you feel. Glad your back up now!
