Forever Lovely – Love You!
Can you believe it is already January 17th? Where has the time gone? I suppose we all need to make the most of it because time is precious and something we can never get back.

My inspiration for the day comes from the TGIF Challenge #194. Looks like a great challenge.

The card starts with a Blushing Bride base with a Blushing Bride mat that has been embossed with the Subtle TIEF. After finishing the card, I think maybe it might have been good with the new Lace Dynamic Embossing Folder from the Occasions catalog.
What do you think? I used a Lovely Lipstick Foil sheet from the Sal-A-Bration catalog to cut the mat for the focal panel which is cut from a piece in the All My Love DSP. The red heart is cut from the Lovely Lipstick Foil sheet also.
I first cut out one of the hearts in the All My Love DSP pack but found it just did not suit me so I used it as a template to draw the heart on the foil sheet and then fussy cut it out. The greeting is from the Forever Lovely stamp set, stamped on a scrap of Whisper White.
Linen Thread is wrapped around the focal panel three times and tied in a bow. The heart is then popped on the panel. The focal panel is then popped onto the Blushing Bride embossed panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The inside sentiment is stamped in Lovely Lipstick ink on a panel of Whisper White. The sentiments are from the Part of My Story stamp set and the Forever Lovely stamp set.
That’s it for today. Hope you like it and find it inspirational and encouraging for your own creations.

Happy Tuesday. 
The candy jar and the lollipop are fussy cut from another panel of How Sweet It Is DSP. The candy jar is popped in the Coastal Cabana space. The stick for the lollipop is cut in two pieces so that it will look as if the lollipop is sticking all the way behind the candy jar. A tiny bow is made from a short length of Whisper White Twine and tied around the lollipop stick just below the lollipop. Tiny gummy bears are fussy cut and scattered around the candy jar. After all items have been adhered to the focal panel, it is popped onto the card base using Mini Stampin Dimensionals.
Since I did not have a Happy Birthday stamp that was a single line, I used the stamp from the Better Together stamp set and did a bit of masking so it would only stamp one word at a time. It was stamped on a strip of Whisper White card stock in Lovely Lipstick and matted on a strip of Coastal Cabana card stock.
This was then popped onto the card base at the bottom of the card, leaving a blank space between the greeting and the focal panel, so I added a few Coastal Cabana stars and I am just now realized that must be a retired item, so you can use any of the Basic Jewel elements to fill in this space or maybe a length of ribbon. The card front is now finished.










Hope you have had a grand Sunday in spite of the yucky weather.














Happy cold Saturday! Hope you have had a fantastic day in spite of the cold. I spent my day at a ballet performance for my granddaughter. She had one of the lead parts and I almost missed it. Simply forgot it until my son called, “Mom you do remember today is Hannah’s performance.” I would have been a bad Gran if that had happened. I was off making cards, so had to rush to get there. 
The doily is cut and the inside white space is stamped with the greeting and then placed back in the center of the doily it was taken from. All the layers are adhered using Liquid Glue. A bow is made using Whisper White Solid Baker’s Twine. Three Glitter Enamel Dots in various sizes are adhered to the Coastal Cabana and Melon Mambo striped panel, two are placed on the doily. That’s the front finished.








The card base is Highland Heather. A Basic Black mat is cut and a panel of Thick Whisper White is adhered to the Basic Black using Liquid Glue after running it through the Big Shot to emboss using the Subtles TIEF. These two are then adhered to the card base using Liquid Glue.
