Published by Julia Stainton at 6:50 am under Blog Misc, Card Designs

I have lots of things to tell you about today as well as a project to share so I’ll get right to it! :) First of all…my latest free on-line class at Cornish Heritage Farms is tonight and I’d love to have you join us!

I also have a couple new classes to tell you about. They are absolutely fabulous projects by some of the CHF DT and I know you’ll love them. Check them out by clicking on the banners.

Also…what are you doing this Saturday? It’s World Cardmaking Day and we have some great things planned at Cornish Heritage Farms. Some challenges to get you creating, chat and over course…some great giveaways. Hope you’ll join us! Check it out!

And finally…a sweet card design. Well…I think it is anyway. ;) Hope you like it!

It’s another of those sweet simple cards that just kind of fall together when I’m cleaning up my desk. Seriously…I need some help. I’m a paper packrat! Good job I use a lot of the same colors over and over so that the most disparate elements actually manage to go together. I mean really…I have product from TEN companies here on this little card! Actually…here’s a little secret. I’ve been hoarding the Heidi Swapp bling rectangle for probably 18 months no. I ended up breaking it so I thought I’d better use it up. I put it on my card to encase my sentiment and perched a little stamped birdie on top. Embellishments cover the break nicely. :)

Quick Tip: instead of using bling to highlight or frame a layer…use it as a frame to visually break up the space without one.

What’s up tomorrow? A fun layout challenge from a sketch I designed. See you then!

    Very cute. I plan on spending most of Saturday with a bunch of girlfriends. We have her gym at church and each get our own table! There are about 15 of us! I’m so excited to stamp all day and giggle!
