Happy Wednesday!!!!

 I have reached 300 followers!!!!!  ooooh , have to put on my thinking hat and figure out how to celebrate!!!!

Today I am showing you a card using Gilding Flakes!! If you never heard of them they are like foil, they are small pieces and are very light. 

 

I know that doesn't explain too much so once again I am turning you over to the very person I admire and has learned majority of my skills...

The lovely Christina from Flowers Ribbons And Pearls.

 

Here are two videos that Christina has put together, 

 The first one is how to do a Mosaic Card using Gilding Flakes

And the next one is Christina's brand new video posted 3 days ago and already has almost a thousand views!!!

Its the Gilded Bird Cage and it is brilliant!!!!

I have to show you the card that Christina made, Look at that bird cage, isn't it stunning! Don't underestimate these flakes, there are so many ways  you can use them.

 

 

 

 

For my card I used Paper Made Kit for Feburary, March's kit should be here soon, eeeek!!!

 

I also used gilding flakes for the circle punch outs on the spaces between the ribbon.

 

 The flowers are taken from the package itself, lol, not wasting anything!!! Just love this kit

(well not that I would have to mention that)

 

 

Here is an angle shot to show off the shine

 

Now can you see  the flakes??

Have a terrific day!!!!

We'll weather it together

Happy Monday!

 

I hope you all had a fantastic weekend, I got to go ski-doo riding across Prince Edward Island and found it exhilarating! We had the perfect day for it, the sun was out and it made the snow glisten and trees looked spectacular!

 

Today I am showing you a card I made from my new kit that I bought from

Paper Made  Bakery!

 

  Here is what the kit looks like and I had so much fun with it! My introduction to this kit was from the amazingly talented Julie over at

 

Life With the Tucker and Wolek Clan ,

 

 Julie is now part of their amazing design team and she has been an  inspiration and my biggest supporter since I started blogging, oh yes she watched me blossom, lol

 

 

Through Fresh Baked Bakery I found my favorite stamp store EVER!!!! 

 

 

Fresh Squeezed Stamps

 I will be facing more challenges other than making cards, this is going to be a huge test of keeping myself below my monthly budget for crafting because I am crazy about these stamps and already feel I have no control... I think I can , I think I can... hehe!

 

I added their button to my sidebar if you would like to hop on over to see what they have... here are the ones I bought so far!!!



 

 

 

Here is my card!!! Everything is from the We'll Weather it Together Kit except the fairy stamp that was given to me by the lovely Christina over at Flowers Ribbon's and Pearls. Christina just opened her new shop and is selling Homemade Blending Tools and her stunning hat pins!!! I have the Blending tools and they are amazing, they also come with felt..to learn more about these visit Christina by clicking the link above!!!

 

 

I stamped the umbrella unto 4 different pieces of patterened paper and cut sections out to piece it together. I inked the edges with Antique blue ink along with stamping the raindrops. The ribbon like paper under the button is just two strips of paper crumpled and inked and cut banner style!!

 



 

 

 

Share my excitement, isn't these stamps the cat's meow!!!!!

 

Have a terrific Day!!!!  

 (I did this post on 2 hours sleep, poor Mikey was up all night with a tooth ache, the x-ray shows that he has a tooth underneath pushing it's way up, the upper tooth is not even loose yet so there must be a lot of pressure. We had lots of cuddling and he is much better this morning.)
