Good morning! I’m sharing a card over on the Quietfire Creations blog today using the set, Always Be My Friend.

You can find more photos and all the details over there . . . BUT what I did not tell you about there is . . .

I used some new Tonic Studio dies!

If you were following along during CHA, there was a big buzz that Tonic Studios will be coming to the USA. They’ve been in the UK for some time, but with this past CHA they are bringing their dies and other products to the US. Check out the Tonic Gold site for lots of ideas and resources and/or you can find Tonic Studios USA on Facebook here.

I’m almost done with all my flower making, so hopefully I’ll be hitting the studio in the next day or so to work with some of Ken Oliver’s new product, Color Burst. You are going to LOVE it!

Thanks for stopping by!

SHERRY SIGNATURE

I’ve been meaning to post this project for weeks now and just haven’t had the time to do it. So I figure since today is gloomy and we are inside once again, no time like the present.

I was contacted by a friend to make something special for her sister’s birthday, which was days away from Christmas. We talked about sentiments, colors, card or plaque, etc., and finally settled on something that she could set out and display.

Here’s what I came up with and I’ve been told that my friend’s sister loved the gift! (By the way, if you click on the photos it will enlarge them and make them clearer!)

The plaque measures a little over 5×7 and is placed on a frame easel back.

The sentiment was one found by my friend, which was typed and die cut/embossed with ovals.

The flowers surrounding the sentiment are from Prima which I felt matched the paper (MME Lost & Found Rosy) and were in the shades of earth tones.

I love it when someone asks me to make a special gift for them and I have one more to show you that I worked on for my Great-Aunt’s 70th Wedding Anniversary . . . coming soon!

Thanks for stopping by and joining me today!

Hey y’all! Today I’m sharing a card over on the Quietfire Design blog using one of their new stamps, The Best Kiss.

I made this card for Ken Oliver’s CHA Booth, and it also incorporates his new paper lines, Watercolor Memories and Pitter Patter Patterns. I can’t say enough good things about these paper lines . . . Oh my BADness . . . they are an absolute joy to work with and this Watercolor Memories line is absolutely gorgeous! He designed the Watercolor Memories line from photos that he had taken of different flowers around his hometown. Each page/sheet/design is a work of art!

The dies used for this card are from Tonic Studios, which you’ll be hearing more about after CHA. Tonic’s dies have been in the UK Market for some time now, and at this CHA they will be introducing them to the US Market. I know I’ll have more to report! Stay tuned!!!!

Oh and before I forget, you can read more about this card and see more photos over on the Quietfire Creations Blog today!

Okay . . . that’s all for today. By the way, who’s going to CHA? Leave me a comment if you are so I can make sure to give you a hug!
