Good morning everyone. It's a sad day for me as this is my last post as a GDT for <a href="http://quick-creations.myshopify.com/" target="_blank">Quick Creations</a>. Noelle, you are a doll to work with and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me the opportunity to guest design for you.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So for my project today I created a card using an adorable stamp from t<a href="http://quick-creations.myshopify.com/products/the-greeting-farm-fleur-anya-rubber-stamp" target="_blank">he greeting farm called Fleur Anya.</a> If your a greeting farm junkie like I am make sure you head on over to her shop as she has some of their stamps that have been hard for me to find.</div>

For my card I used a card base of 5x5 then layered some maja design paper. I stamped the image on white card stock and colored her in with my copic markers and paper pieced her dress with the same paper collection. I added some pearls to the center of the flowers in her hair and used wink of Stella on the petals. I then added some lace and a flower from my stash. </div>

That is all for me today. Make sure you check out her store for all the wonderful new releases she is getting in as well as all the amazing product she already carries in her shop.</div>

To Create this card, I started with a card base of 5.5" x 5.5". I layered and distress beautiful papers from the <a href="http://quick-creations.myshopify.com/products/bo-bunny-madeleine-6-x-6-paper-pad" target="_blank">Bo Bunny Madeline Collection</a> and added a bit of lace to the bottom of the top layer. I cut out a scalloped circle with my spellbinders die and adhered the beautiful <a href="http://quick-creations.myshopify.com/products/whimsy-stamps-time-for-tea-cocktail-dress-rubber-stamp" target="_blank">Whimsy "Time for tea cocktail dress"</a> which I colored up with my copics and added a bit of <a href="http://quick-creations.myshopify.com/products/zig-wink-of-stella-glitter-brush-pen-clear" target="_blank">wink of stella</a> to her dress. I sprinkled on some heart glitter i had in my stash, added a couple of beautiful corner pieces to the top and finished it off with a few WOC roses and a resin bird that a friend created for me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also made a quick little gift tag </div>

<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #141823; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">For my project I decided to make an ornament. I just love how this turned out. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">For my ornament I used an ornament that a dear friend gave me. It's one of those that come in two halves so you can add your goodies to them. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I first started out by coloring up the greeting farm cheeky Xmas stamp with my copic markers. I also used a liquid appliqué pen to give texture to her hat, dress, and hand warmer. Before heating it with my embossing gun, I added some glitter to the top of the liquid appliqué, then fussy cut her out.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I then added some feather trim to the back and the bottom of the ornament, added some pink roses, some glitter confetti and adhered her to the center of the ornament.

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I painted the back with white gesso then once dry went over it with a gesso and sand mixture to give it texture. I sealed the gesso and sand mixture with a coat of mod podge and added some glitter to give it the look of sparkle snow. Then to finish the ornament, I added a loop to hang the ornament from, a bow and a larger rose to the center. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Good morning everyone. I hope you all are doing well. I know I have been MIA for a few weeks. We were having internet issues. But I am back!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I want to share with you a gift box I decorated for my GDT project for <a href="http://quick-creations.myshopify.com/" target="_blank">Quick Creations</a>. </div>

Isnt it so cute???</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When the owner of Quick Creations sent me this stamp to work with, I knew right away I wanted to alter one of these treat boxes my dear friend Barb sent to me. I started by using a piece of paper from an old christmas collection from Bo Bunny that I had in my stash. I traced around the front of the box on the back side of the paper, cut it out and used mod podge to adhere it. I stamped the <a href="http://quick-creations.myshopify.com/products/c-c-designs-robertos-rascals-santas-ride-rubber-stamp" target="_blank">CC Designs Robertos Sleigh ride</a> stamp onto white cardstock and colored it in with my copic markers. After making sure the ink was completely dry, I fussy cut out the image and adhered it to the front of the box using <a href="http://quick-creations.myshopify.com/products/glue-dots-5-clear-craft-dot-roll" target="_blank">Glue Dots</a> adhesive. I then ripped apart a silk poinsettia flower, added pearl stamen to the center and adhered it to the top of my box using my <a href="http://quick-creations.myshopify.com/products/ad-tech-low-temp-mini-glue-gun" target="_blank">mini glue gun</a>. I just love the way it turned out.</div>

Today I want to share with you all a card I made using one of the sentiments from the <a href="http://www.inspiredbystamping.com/collections/stamps/products/holiday-sentiments" target="_blank">holiday sentiments stamp set</a> by <a href="http://www.inspiredbystamping.com/" target="_blank">Inpsired By Stamping</a>.</div>

To create this card, I started with a base of 5.5" by 5.5" and followed a sketch that I found on Pinterest. After layering all my papers, I stamped the beautiful <a href="http://www.inspiredbystamping.com/collections/stamps/products/holiday-sentiments" target="_blank">holiday sentiment stamp</a> onto a white banner with memento ink. I just love this stamp set. to finish off the card, I added a few white flat back crystals to the card.</div>

Good morning everyone. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you all are having a beautiful week so far. Today I have some exciting news to share with you all. I was asked to be a guest designer for <a href="http://quick-creations.myshopify.com/" target="_blank">Quick Creations</a>! I am so excited to be able to work along side the owner (Noelle) and all her super talented designers for a couple of months. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is what I created .....</div>

I just love how this card turned out. Noelle sent me Kiki Latte to work with this month. Isnt she adorable? To Create this card, I started with a white card base 5.5" x 5.5". I layered on a few beautiful papers from Bo Bunny Isabella collections, added a beautiful pink ribbon across the center, adhered a couple of pink recollection bling swirls, and added a couple of Martha Stewart butterflies to the ribbon. I cut out a little doily and circle from the same paper collection and glued those together. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For kiki latte, I stamped her onto white card stock and colored her in with copic markers. The shoes, outfit, and bow are all paper pieced. I know it isnt showing up well on the photo but her top, shoes, and hair band all have a little bit of shimmer which was added with wink of stella. After she was all paper pieced and colored in, I fussy cut her out and added her to the center of the doily. To finish off the card, I added an adorable little flat back flower to her hairband, and a few IAR flowers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thank you for stopping by. I hope you all run over and check out her store.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope you all have a wonderful day!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi crafty friends. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am here today to quickly share with you a card I created using the beautiful <a href="http://www.inspiredbystamping.com/collections/frontpage/products/poinsettias" target="_blank">Poinsettia Stamp</a> set and sentiment (<a href="http://www.inspiredbystamping.com/collections/frontpage/products/elegant-christmas-sentiments" target="_blank">Elegant Christmas Sentiment</a> stamp set) from <a href="http://www.inspiredbystamping.com/collections/frontpage" target="_blank">Inspired by stamping</a>. I have learned the hard way that mailing bulky cards doesn't work out too well as well as they cost a fortune when mailing out multiple cards. So this year I have decided to mail out flatter Christmas Cards. </div>

To create this beautiful Christmas stocking, I stamped the stocking using the <a href="http://www.inspiredbystamping.com/products/build-a-stocking-error-image" target="_blank">Build a Stocking</a> stamp set from this months release onto white card stock and fussy cut it out. I stamped the stocking once more on pink card stock and used a circle punch to cut out the heel and toe part of the stocking. I also cut a bit from the top of the pink stocking to add to the top of the white. Once I had all the parts cut out, I adhered them down minus the top pink part) and ran them all through the sizzix using a snowflake embossing folder. I know it didn't show up in the photo, but all the raised embossed parts have an iridescent glitter on it. I added some tiny pink lace to and popped up the top pink piece on some foam dots. I then added pearl trim above the lace, around the heel, and the toe part of the stocking. To finish this off, I created a little loop where a stocking would usually be hung from, added a tiny bow, a rose to the center of the bow, and then adhered that down to the card. </div>

<span style="text-align: start;"><span style="color: #ea9999;">Hi crafty friends! I'm here today to share with you a card and a tiny gift box I created for my sons teacher for Christmas using two of the beautiful stamp sets from last weeks release over at </span><a href="http://www.inspiredbystamping.com/collections/frontpage" target="_blank"><span style="color: #666666;">Inspired by Stamping</span></a><span style="color: #ea9999;">.

<span style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #ea9999;">To create this card, I layered my papers onto my card base and stamped/embossed the ginger blessings sentiment from the </span><a href="http://www.inspiredbystamping.com/collections/new-stamps/products/sugar-spice" target="_blank"><span style="color: #666666;">sugar and spice stamp set</span></a><span style="color: #ea9999;">.

For the finishing touches I added tiny pearls to the center of her star button and a pearl bow to her head. I love how this card turned out. Its so country chic.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="text-align: start;"><span style="color: #ea9999;">I had plans to give his teacher some chocolates for Christmas but my son informed me that his teacher has an allergy to chocolate. When I ran across this yummy smelling hand sanitizer, I felt this would be a perfect gift for a teacher who deals with a lot of sick children through the year. So instead of just popping this into a gift bag, I created this adorable tiny box. The box measures, 3¼" x 1½" x 1⅛". Once I cut out the box, I added some pattern paper that matched the card, cut out a little window using a tiny oval die and backed it with a piece of acetate. To decorate this box, I got out the beautiful </span><a href="http://www.inspiredbystamping.com/products/christmas-wreath" target="_blank"><span style="color: #666666;">Christmas Wreath stamp set</span></a><span style="color: #ea9999;">. I embossed the bow in white onto my pattern paper, fussy cut it out, added a pearl to the center, and adhered it to the top of the box leaving enough room so the box can still close. I then clear embossed the holly leaves onto a green cardstock, fussy cut it out, added some silver stickles, then adhered it to the bottom corner of the box along with some white pearls for the berries.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Good morning crafty friends!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I am here to share with you a card I made along with a tutorial. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is my first written tutorial so if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Below is the card we will be making.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMTL3YU9MRDwG26xErbYkZNmWP5Tyatjcap7jJoKfBTirt5N7WWDu70lgA5yeXLtBIebjpEtOhW8bqVW4VT1lAEQKZwfxfIzlpNjwRxEgjwNJKDO4lUJtbDiDZsMeRNWo_QNbsW7kCG7yG/s1600/DSC01036.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMTL3YU9MRDwG26xErbYkZNmWP5Tyatjcap7jJoKfBTirt5N7WWDu70lgA5yeXLtBIebjpEtOhW8bqVW4VT1lAEQKZwfxfIzlpNjwRxEgjwNJKDO4lUJtbDiDZsMeRNWo_QNbsW7kCG7yG/s1600/DSC01036.JPG" height="382" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The outside of the card was embellished with pattern paper, a spellbinders die, a recollections flower, a bow from a small tiny piece of ribbon I had left over in my stash, a couple of snowflakes I punched out and the sentiment is from the <a href="http://www.inspiredbystamping.com/collections/frontpage/products/christmas-greetings" target="_blank">Christmas greetings stamp set</a> from <a href="http://www.inspiredbystamping.com/collections/frontpage" target="_blank">Inspired by Stamping</a>. I think this card turned out beautiful.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
below is a view of the inside.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The inside of the box stores tea light candles that I stamped with an adorable snow flake stamp from the <a href="http://www.inspiredbystamping.com/products/build-a-stocking" target="_blank">build a stocking stamp set</a> from Inspired by stamping. This box does not have to hold candles. You could add candy, a gift card, crafty embellishments, etc. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Are you ready to get started?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What you will need to create the gift box card:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
paper trimmer</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
acetate for the window of the box</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 12"x12" sheet of card stock</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
glue or score tape</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
scoring tool of your choice.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Part one</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First your going to want to take your 12 x 12 sheet of paper and cut it down to 4⅞" x 11¾".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Make sure you put aside the other part of the 12 x 12 sheet as we will be using this in step two.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the long side of the paper, you will score @ 3⅜", 4⅛", 7½", and 8¼".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Rotate your paper left and score @ ¾", 4⅛"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8D3bgRkGaoTw8AuIe9hqLmsI66E3AWB-jhTX5UxKI4iNaCarDRytMfNQ96fZwO4FjoEqnvhdHH8V1ao8itpiyFQ0Rt3PUJQePML7s4bENKMfr6gIE0kgtErfoqB-gFGmSBk4RgpPVXKzi/s1600/worksheet1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8D3bgRkGaoTw8AuIe9hqLmsI66E3AWB-jhTX5UxKI4iNaCarDRytMfNQ96fZwO4FjoEqnvhdHH8V1ao8itpiyFQ0Rt3PUJQePML7s4bENKMfr6gIE0kgtErfoqB-gFGmSBk4RgpPVXKzi/s1600/worksheet1.jpg" height="186" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cut lines as directed. You will cut on the score line only where the arrows are directing you to cut. make sure you do not cross a score line unless stated. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now you should have something that looks like this:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At this point if you want to use your die or punch, now is the easiest time to do so. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBAD9Q2qVOcPBjxmmbTWCESKFyHGHwSjP2FlDMUZhsM09pczeVkdyYpzhg3TRyNYBr0zTTLsZ7lEcUJmgAScUrcMpF0IPG6-mYADitfWwZRckoem0qdT46EPi0efqOYQAN7__08nGHNYiu/s1600/worksheet3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBAD9Q2qVOcPBjxmmbTWCESKFyHGHwSjP2FlDMUZhsM09pczeVkdyYpzhg3TRyNYBr0zTTLsZ7lEcUJmgAScUrcMpF0IPG6-mYADitfWwZRckoem0qdT46EPi0efqOYQAN7__08nGHNYiu/s1600/worksheet3.jpg" height="187" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once your window is cut out, fold all your score lines. If you plan on adding any pattern paper to your box or acetate to your window , now is a good time to do so. It is alot easier to add while this is still flat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If using tape, now would be a good time to add that. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhtYWrEdThOW43bCMPWgnFh8Ftu_Ui4Ncg_o8xfz-3hNeP5lmq6sqn0dJvW3Dj4x8El2t2nTmmZko58js5w8NEPN5XMzDu7tWzcqYXM6lGj8rfpj0TbQoUXm7fAkDqt8EmKwfUTB9f2aSS/s1600/DSC01016.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhtYWrEdThOW43bCMPWgnFh8Ftu_Ui4Ncg_o8xfz-3hNeP5lmq6sqn0dJvW3Dj4x8El2t2nTmmZko58js5w8NEPN5XMzDu7tWzcqYXM6lGj8rfpj0TbQoUXm7fAkDqt8EmKwfUTB9f2aSS/s1600/DSC01016.JPG" height="186" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
once all your papers, acetate, and tape are on, you can construct the box card. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Part 2</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With the paper you set aside in step one, cut this down to 5¾" x 5¾".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Score this at ⅝", 1¼", 4½", 5⅛".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then turn your paper to the left again and score at the same measurements.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Note: the arrows in the center of the diagram are not cut lines. I added them to show that you score same measurements for both directions. Only cut where it says remove or where the arrow next to the word cut is. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After you cut you are done scoring and cutting your lines this is what you should be left with. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Fold along your score lines and add your paper and tape.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When building the box, make sure you have the tabs ( the areas in pink) taped down before taping or gluing down the top flap so that it looks cleaner on the inside.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The photos below, show where I layered my papers and tape.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
stamps of your choice</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First you want to take your tissue paper (I used 4 small squares), and layer them on top of your cardstock. If punching this makes it alot easier to cut through the tissue paper. Run your cardstock/tissue paper layer through your die cut machine. </div>

Once your tissue paper is cut out, punch a hole in the center of the tissue paper big enough for your wick to fit through. Now stamp the image you want in the center of the tissue. For mine, I stamped with Chalk ink. It seemed to hold up well. </div>

Next you will lay your tissue paper on top of your tea light. I press and smooth out the tissue paper as much as I to help it not blow up while heating. </div>

I used a pair of crafting tweezers to help hold the tissue paper while heating.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Note: try not to hold your heat tool to closely during this process or you will end up with lumps from the wax moving around. </div>

I have been having so much fun playing with this beautiful <a href="http://www.inspiredbystamping.com/collections/new-stamps/products/flower-of-the-month-aster" target="_blank">Flower of the month- Aster</a> stamp set. I started out with a white card base and layered some green card stock and a pink card stock that I embossed with a embossing folder. </div>

I stamped the image using vera mark ink, went over with white embossing powder and heat set it with my heat tool. I then water colored the image with some memento inks. Once the image was completely dry, I stamped the "Thanks" sentiment using the<a href="http://www.inspiredbystamping.com/collections/frontpage/products/fancy-circles" target="_blank"> Fancy Circles Stamp set</a>. To add the finishing touches, I went over the Aster with my wink of stella pen to give it a touch of sparkle, added a couple of tiny butterflies, and a small bow to the stems of the flowers.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To create this card I started with a white card base that measures 4.25"x5.25". I took a piece of light blue card-stock, used my scorboard to score diagonal lines 1 inch apart to create this diamond checkered pattern and glued it to the card base. I then heat embossed the Welcome little angel sentiment. This beautiful stamp is from the Inspired by Stamping <a href="http://www.inspiredbystamping.com/collections/stamps/products/big-notes-iii" target="_blank">Big Notes III </a>Stamp set. I cut out 2 stars on white card-stock and added some crystal stickles to the stars. To finish off the card, I added a piece of white ribbon and some flat back pearls. I just love the way this turned out. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Good morning all. I hope you all are having a beautiful weekend. As for myself, I have the flu. It came on rather quickly Thursday night and will be sooo glad when it is gone. I did manage to craft for a couple hours yesterday morning. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A while back I was online shopping online looking for some fiber trim and ran across this absolutely gorgeous trim. When I purchased it I had thought about making some cute fuzzy crochet hearts for my projects. Well that was a real bust for me as I am a beginner and the fibers are so thick that I couldn't find my work thru it all. Lol. So I decided to take some floral stems and shape them into a heart. I then wrapped the fuzzy trim around the heart and this is the outcome.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Isn't it beautiful? I made this for a dear friend who is always so supportive of all my work. I really hope she likes this. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello crafty friends.I hope you all had a wonderful week. Im here today to share with you a starburst card I made using one of the beautiful sentiment stamps in the <a href="http://www.inspiredbystamping.com/collections/frontpage/products/big-notes-in-french" target="_blank">Big notes in French</a> stamp set. I absolutely love the big notes stamp sets as there is always a perfect sentiment for any occasion and they are all so elegant.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
To create this card, I layered black and pink card stock then created the starburst pattern using papers from Bo Bunny. I then stamped the sentiment with memento black tuxedo ink. I then added some pink and black trim to the bottom of the starburst. To embellish the card I fussy cut a couple of butterflies out of the paper collection I used and bent the wings up to give it a bit of dimension.</div>
