In yesterday's post I mentioned that adding twine or brads could add a lot to a rather simple card. So today I decided to follow up on that. When I was in Florida, I purchased some12 x 12 paper at the Owl and The Pussycat, a stamp store that I visit annually when I am in Fort Myers. The paper is from Kaisercraft and consists of a variety of 6 vintage-looking and tropical pictures. I immediately knew that I could use these pictures to make cards. The picture I chose for this Pistachio Pudding card was simply layered on a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock prior to adhering it to the card base, stamped with a sentiment from A Dozen Thoughts and then wrapped with a piece of twine. Sometimes a picture is all you need to make a great card. I spent more time deciding what color card base to use than I did creating the card! As I type this post it is -6 degrees. My plan is to stay warm today! You do the same and have a great day!
I am married (50 years now~~oh my!) and have two children:
Jen and Matt. Jen and her husband blessed us with a beautiful granddaughter who is now 19 years old. I am also a "grandma" to five dogs, 2 birds and more! My dog, Charlie, is our spoiled Shihtzu and I have a cute little parrotlet, Nipper, that is 8 years old.
