Love Forever

I had time yesterday to make a card for me. When I started out I had no idea where I was going with it but I wanted to use these papers. Well when you start without any kind of a plan it can take forever when you take into consideration the time you spend just thinking about what you want to do and change your mind a dozen times!

I used a variety of dies. Spellbinders Labels 4, Spellbinders Lattice Pendants, Memory Box Amira Flourish and Cuttlebug hearts.

On the inside I also used Marianne Designs Createabilities LRO 150. Now I am going to make a less time consuming card!

Birthday in black & white

I have been playing around with some of my Spellbinder dies. For the next few days I will be showing you what I came up with.

For this card I used a Fleur De Lis Pendant die from Spellbinders. After cutting and embossing the die I found a Nestabilities square that fit the die and cut a square from the center of the panel and then used a Martha Stewart Punch around the page punch set. The border still looked very bare so I cut 4 of the small dies in the Pendant set and adhered them to the corners.
It still needed something else but the only stamp I had that would fit was part of a wood mounted $1 stamp that had a candle on it along with the words. Into the microwave the stamp went and off came the rubber. I cut between the candle and the words and it is now 2 unmounted stamps! A little Tack It Over And Over glue on the back and now I can use it as one stamp or I can use it separately.  Do you ever cut your stamps up?
