A new way with stencil paste

This card is made using some of my embossing paste that has been sitting in my embossing drawer being very neglected. I ran my cream card stock through a heart embossing folder then took some of the paste and painted it on the raised hearts adding a bit of pink glitter glue with the paste. Did the same for the center heart which adds a bit of texture to the whole card. I enjoy how the paste looks on the raised embossing area, just wish I could paste and emboss at the same time without a big sticky mess. Any ideas on that?

Love: We are taught by God to LOVE one another

Ladies my study this week used this passage in I Thessalonians 4:9 about loving one another, it is great to be reminded daily that it is all about love. In fact Paul not only tells us to love but to to do so more and more. Yikes I think I have a ways to go on the more and more.
I made this card just because I loved the paper, sometimes it is as simple as that. Have a great day and why not love on someone a bit today?

3 Tiered Love card

Today I tried to make my Valentine's card a bit unique. I think I got a bit carried away with the tiers but I was having so much fun playing, ever do that? I cut out each mini card with Spellbinders lace squares and just layered them on top of one another making them hang over the top just a bit for each layer. I stamped in the last two layers but in the first I added an extra heart. I just had to add the bling to the front because what is pink without bling? What do you think about the layers? If you want to see each one closer just click on the photo and you can see them all.

A New Year has begun!

I just want my friend Barbara , yes you, to know that she is the reason for this tired person to make a card and post it. Ladies I have been working 30+ hours every week outside the home at our local candy store. Christmas is one of their big holidays along with the upcoming Valentine's day.

I have been so focused on working that my poor craft room has had no crafting going on. Yesterday my good friend inspired me to get up and visit that room, which I did. Now granted it only took me 3 hours to get it all together but I did. So Barbara this post is for you, thanks!

Christmas candy filled cones

Finially ladies I have had a moment to post. I have been working full time and have hardly a moment to be in my craft studio :( . This is not the time to be missing in there, I miss creating and visiting with everyone.

Last week I went to see one of my dear friends at one of her shows and she had made these to sell. I was going to take a picture of the one she made and I bought but I took it apart immediaty and it is now burried under a pile of card stock, ribbons and lace. Thank you Barbara for the idea and the inspiration to step into my creative den, you are the queen of creativity.

These will be given at a dinner party I am hosting next week and the candy inside is what I have been making at my job. The chocolate shop I have been working at is local and 31 years ago I started working for them. I worked with them for 18 years then left to start my own stamp store. Going back has been easy it is as if I never left and for my friends it can be "sweet" to know me. Tee Hee. If you want go and visit SWEENOR'S
