Forever is Love

Well it has been a couple of weeks, I had my Carpel Tunnel surgery on May 12th.  I just got the cast off on May 23rd and I have to say my hand is still pretty weak.  Now it has been a long 2 week because if you remember we had HSN's 24 hour craft event on May 8th and I received all my goodies while in the cast, so I to put it aside until cast came off ( was driving me CraZy ).  Below is just some of the items that I ordered from HSN.
 Well I have finished my 1st card since the surgery and if I do say so myself it was worth the wait, and I have come to know that you are only as good as the products that you work with.  From the HSN crafting event one of the items I purchased was the  Crafter's Companion 3D Embossing Folders Set with Stamps, Cards and Rock-a-Blocks 542-657  Bundle for a great price.  This is what I used for my card.  

Crafters Companion Luxury Card Stock

Gemini Die Cutting and Embossing Machine  I have to say if  you do not have this machine it is the best.  HSN always sells out so the next time they have a crafting event make sure you pick this up.

Crafters Companion 3D Embossing Folder Bundle  I used the Regency Swirls 3D embossing folder this has so much depth to it.  Amazing

                    Staples-15141-Trimmer Sheet-Capacity       It is a little had to see in this picture because of the shine on the Card stock but I put a curvy edge on this, looks great.

 Staples-15141-Trimmer Sheet-Capacity  I did the inside of the card with white card stock for writing messages. 

 Staples-15141-Trimmer Sheet-Capacity  I used Dark blue for the Card stock.



Crafter Companion 3D embossing Folder Bundle This Stamp came in the bundle with the embossing folders.  


Crafter Companion 3D embossing Folder Bundle This is the complete Stamps sets you will receive. ( Great Deal )

I had a little Love Dove in my stash that I used, not sure when I got this.  I did color with a clear Crafter Compaions Sparker Markers

I used a love red ribbon that i picked up on clearance at a craft store.








 Any Questions please let me know and as always Happy Crafting!

"Hebrews" Coffee Card ( Skipping Stones Design ) Oct 16th Blog Hop

Hi everyone and welcome to Skipping Stones Design's October blog hop.  For my card I have decided to use the Coffee stamp #2 .  I colored the coffee cup with Spectrum Noir Alcohol markers .  This is a Digi stamp so after printing I did wait 24hr before coloring with the Alcohol markers to make sure the ink is completely dry, so I do not have any mixing of the printer ink with the alcohol marker colors.  I had a great time creating this card.  Please scroll down for pictures, supplies (  link's ),  a how toooooo, and a tutorial at the end.  Make sure you visit the links below to see other cards made by Skipping Stones Design Team.  Please make sure to leave a comments on everyones creations, let them know how much you like the designs they have created.

Working with the Gemini Apple Core Dies

Tips for sewing Apple Core Shapes.....  This will go on Sale on HSN January 24th., they will go fast make sure you get yours. 1st you will have one that will go sideways which is the Con-Caved Core and you will have one the will be long ways.   You always want the con-caved Apple Core on top when sewing together.   So my Con-caved apple core is the red strips, fold in half  and press a seam.  The yellow one fold in half long ways and press. Put right sides together and place the pressed seam on top one an other and pin.  This is very important to sew straight. Now match up and pin both outside corners.  The fabric will be buckled like the picture and that is fine.   It should look like this when taking to the sewing machine.  Below is a little video on sewing Apple Core Shapes.
